It's a no brainer to me. Is he good enough to get into our starting xi? yes. Are we likely to get somebody better on a permanent deal in Jan? no. Does he want to come and play for EFC? yes. I'm in, for however long or short!

Oh stop it!

I sniggered typing each character of mine - they're getting ridiculous!!!

Martyr - a person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principle. (Had to look this up!) It doesn't matter how much of a sacrafice Bill makes really because the fact is Earl and Woods each own almost as much as him - there are at least 3 parties to satisfy here initially and although I can kind of see why people would expect Kenwright to make sacrafices, what are peoples expectations of Earl and Woods?

Here's my house analogy... Well the house is a hotel! It's been loved by the family for years but all of a sudden it's being poorly run by some crook who also owns another smaller local hotel and the performance of 'our' hotel is rocking and has a few close shaves of being demoted to a B&B! The customers aren't happy!!! Anyway you are in the position to stop this hotel being run into the ground by said crook but it will mean pushing your modest wealth (in the world of hotels) to the maximum and you may have to call on some wealthy friends to assist but surely this stability is better than that crook being in control? Anyway good news you've got the hotel and you've actually steadied the ship and brought in a new hotel manager who builds a strong team on a budget and this is one of the best hotels in the land again... but the hotel world is an ever changing one and there are more hotels being bought by very rich entrepreneurs from other countries and some of these hotels are better than ours and some are, although more glamourous, aren't actually performing as good as ours. With all this going on our hotel is still one of the finest in the country. Bit now many of these better hotels are in the world market and making a lot more money, for whatever reason our hotel isn't making this money and is in need a of huge refurbishment. The customers aren't happy again!!! You make it clear you want to sell the hotel but sadly it's not only yours to sell and although this hotel has a lifetime emotional tie to yourself the 2 other 'equal' stakeholders don't have this same tie. The way the world has changed means there are cheaper hotels in better economic areas that could be bought and propelled above ours - on occasions this has worked but on others it has gone horribly wrong. I love this hotel and can't allow it to be ruined, it needs massive investment and probably reloacting and I can't do this... but I need to live too and the other stakeholders need to be satisfied with the price we receive for it... what do I do?

People keep comparing Everton to Wolves and Kenwright to Hayward - there's not a comparison to make. Kenwright is only worth a small percentage of Sir Jack and Everton F.C is worth a lot more than what Wolves were at the time. Plus it's not just Kenwright there's Earl and Wood (is that the other one?) to consider and why would they give their shares away for nothing?

Just read that!!! So which striker are we signing in Jan? I think Donovan will be a loan target and I think we'll offer Wigan a very small fee for Rodellega with his contract ticking down. ...but for me 2 players who would vastly improve us are Segesson - perfect replacement for Pienaar in my opinion and Doyle would lead the line with Saha or Cahill playing off him in a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 (however you like to look at it). Unfortunately each of these would probably cost a premium - never mind eh!!!

What was the march like yesterday haf? Didn't get to catch any of it this time - the taxi club was far too cosy!

Ronaldo

I wasn't even a twinkle in my father's eye!

? Never heard of either ? Before my time obviously!!!

May have another look later but pretty clueless on this set of qu's bill!

I've found it really hard to pick to be honest. Obviously Wolves came to defend but I think we looked very 2D, whether that's confidence or balance. I personally think it's a bit of both. Basically Saha and Cahill shouldn't be playing as a 2 or a 1 and 1 as they take up the same positions (dropping deep) and it leaves us without anyone up there. Maybe Cahill should be dropping back into the 2 in the middle at expence of Osman (who has been quiet for a few weeks) when Rodwell isn't available. I like the thought of Coleman and Drenthe on each wing (pacey and direct) but with Cahill and Saha not getting into the box they've got noone to pick out and that was pretty much the case today... plenty of penetration but no end product!

Why should he celebrate anyway... How did we feel when Rooney kissed his badge at us? Neville is a model pro as long as he does his best on the pitch I don't care how he reacts at the final whistle. He is the first player to applaud EFC fans home and away even if he's had a stinker. He was at united for over a decade - he showed a bit of class by respecting their feelings too. But as duncanmc has proved he did have a little celebration as jags popped in the pen!

Being academically thick doesn't really matter to be honest - a bit of nowse, confidence and common sense can often get you further in life. Sure you get these people with treble master scholarship bollocks but they often lack the social skills to go as far in life. Back on topic... maybe a Stubbs and Weir management team - brain and brawn!

Who was the last player to score a hat-trick in a full international for Scotland? Ally McCoist.

Spurs have done it with sir les, sherwood and Clive Allen. I like the idea of having 'Everton people' involved in the future of the club, all great servants to the club. It may just be me but I'd love Stubbs to manage us one day.

3 is the only answer - surely?!

Not really, but as a scenario it needed a positive outcome to go alongside the negative - both hypothetical - the initial one I'm sure I've read on kipper before.
