I don't know how anyone can say they like to see their Country beaten!! Regardless of prima donna's and the media.

 

Very bizarre mentality in My optinion, if Everton brought in players similar in attitude to Terry and co or become as many want a mega rich and heavily invested club which would attract the heavy media following as with City would You stop supporting them??

 

Regardless of how up the swanny the place is or who pulls on the shirt or what ever a cockney tit in shirt and tie sat behind a tape recorder says it's My Country all that goes out the window for Me and I don't take it on-board one bit!

If Everton had players like Terry, Young, and Gerrard I'd support another team. But we dont get players like that (cunts get kicked to the curb regardless of talent), possibly the reason our team has stronger bonds with more of a family feel to it.

Cuellar is available on a Bosman as well. Always thought he was a good player.

Started watching 'New Girl' on a recommendation of a friend. It's actually pretty good, easy to watch and quite funny.

 

Game of Thrones tonight

Pity they had to swap Damon Wayans Jr, because Happy Endings got a new season.

Was gonna say Ninis would be worth a punt but already signed for Parma http://www.soccernews.com/parma-win-race-for-sotiris-ninis/91641/

I ride in and out of the city centre every day, and use the Kingsway. You can take my word for it. The roads are full of potholes, the cycling lanes conveniently run out when you need them, and the chances of an accident are high. The Sky team may practise there – I’m sure there’s a good number of them and they command a lot of room. A single cyclist like most of us are have no such comforts. Take it from me, Manchester roads are dangerous. We’ve been running campaigns for years to get them improved.

Lloyd street in particular stands out for me, used to be terrible, but thought the council had done a good job filling the roads in.

Can't believe how disrespectful the motd lot were about Hodgson, saying it should be Redknapp. Why would anyone want Redknapp? He's a wheeler dealer, he's be wheelin' out crackheads claiming they're Ronaldo's mum and he should really be playing for England. Hodgson CV is a lot better considering Redknapp has to throw cash around to get anywhere. Relegated Soton and run back to Portsmouth. Doesnt even give proper instructions, he's a tactically inept saggy faced twit. Only 1 blemish on Hodgson's career is B'burn, but they were on the down anyway.

It's green and white hoops. Same as it always is as far as I can see .

 

Don't personally see it as nice or nasty....it's a Celtic shirt .

It's an anniversary kit so a bit different. Apparently theres 2 extra stripes, 9 instead of 7, cos they have won 9 championships in a row.

I really dont like it. Looks like a Sunday league JJB package.

Looks worth a chance, we need some one who can cross the ball. Any idea on the price?

get over yourself he plays good now and then most inconsistant player we have and im not having a go at him but he wont ever be a top player but im not against him he has been a good servant over the years but you tell me what teams osman would start for and get back to me.

He'd get in the Spurs team, something Pienaar couldnt do.

Lescott was not worth half what they payed and wouldnt get near citys team its only becuase savic has looked so bad theres no one else with toure's problems aswell or he wouldnt be starting most games, but money is no matter with city and by the way unless you forgot pienaar and drenthe are going back other than them fellaini is the only other midfielder we have with any class at all do you want to see us hoofing it up to jason roberts with players like neville osman gueye coleman in midfield because thats what its looking like i know jelevic isnt going anywhere but ffs whats our best 11 going to look like next year because it saddens me thinking about it.

How any Everton fan can dismiss still dismiss Osman is beyond me. Gueye doesn't look a bad player either, completely left out Rodwell, Gibson, Cahill and Barkley as well.

Dave, Yobo will leave on a free transfer and Dier is only on loan from Sporting Lisbon.

Would we be able to get him for free, squatters rights kinda thing, he's been here ages. Remember Chelsea had to buy back Alex(only a single dollar) after they had kept loaning him out.

No problem mate. Beckham is certainly a very polarising individual.

 

I generally don't get flustered when debating, and am accepting of other opinions. The whole celebrity culture thing with Beckham turns me into a different guy though lol. There might be a small element of truth in the claim that I undersell him as a player because I dislike his off the pitch exploits, but if I do it;s only to try and balance out the over-the-top praise the guy has received.

 

Anyway, I will keep my cool in future if his name crops up again (I realise I mentioned him first lol). I would have nothing against the guy if not for his 'brand' and narcissism.

 

I'm not denying he was a good player in his day by the way, not at all. It's just the way he has been elevated to world-class level. I don't think he was ever that, other than maybe 98-2001.

I hate the celeb/wag culture as well, he shaved his hair after the brylcreme deal which earned him some respect but then completely sold his soul to the media with the half-time boot incident.

Anyway listen, you seem sound, I've liked reading your posts on the forum. But in this case, I just can't agree with anything you are saying.

 

I hope you don't take it personally.

Thanks , not at all. It wouldnt be a forum if we dont express our arguments before we agree to disagree.

Any word on how Barkley played?

N/A the match was already at a slow tempo when he came on, we just sat back and kept hold of the ball and clean sheet. So he never really had a chance to shine.

Headless chicken as he had to play 10 positions that day. Passing wise I've seen Alonso have some completely shocking games were his passing and fk's was just off, even when Beckham had a bad game his passing was always spot on and he's better with his left than Alonso is with his right. As for Gerrard he's closer to Neville with his passing, he over hits the hollywoods all day, but motd dont show them hitting the corner flags.

He missed 5 free kicks but his 6th one made us finish above the Germans, how can you not love the man?

The celebrity of Beckham makes people forget how good he was. Not many people can pass the ball like Beckham-Alonso comes close, 2nd best freekick taker of his era(after Juninho). Also pulled off a few nice tricks and turns people forget about. Nowhere near Scholes level, but not many people are.

If you genuinely believe Beckham is overhyped, re-watch the Greece game absolutely carried a whole nation on his own.

If you honestly believe the bolded then we will never agree. Beckham was a bit further out, but it dipped under the crossbar into the centre of the goal. Suarez's was much closer to the side. 'Hit it and hoped' - he clearly knew what he was doing, you can tell that from the way he looked up and how he struck the ball. I realise you hate Liverpool and Suarez but credit where it is due.

 

For what it is worth, I am not a massive fan of either goal, as I believe any decent footballer should be able to chip goalkeepers who are that far off their line (Sullivan was well of his for the Beckham goal). However, if you are into that type of goal, then they are fine examples of it. Me? I personally prefer dribbles like Messi v Getafe, Maradona v England, or Varela for Real Betis to Barcelona. They're harder goals to score, any average player can score a screamer now and then.

 

Figueroa's goal for Wigan against Stoke last season blows both Beckham's and Suarez's out of the water anyway.

Beckham has scored plenty of chipped goals, whereas Suares' conversion rate sways me to believe he really hasnt got any control and is a hit and hoper.

Come on guys, it was a classy finish by Suarez, if you like that sort of thing. Beckham's goal against Wimbledon was similar and we never hear the end of it from his sycophants.

 

People dislike Suarez and he plays for Liverpool, so I suggest there's a bit of bias here.

 

It won't be a popular opinion on this site, but I am a big fan of Suarez as a player (I won't get into his personality etc). He is a really good link-up player, a fantastic dribbler and can create something out of nothing. I have been watching him since long before he joined Liverpool and he is quality. Suarez is a bit like a lesser man's Aguero. If anyone is overrated in that team, it's Steven 'I've never been able to play central midfield to save my life because my possession game is appalling' Gerrard.

Di Santo's goal was better and the commentator, Lineker and the rest weren't screaming about it. Keeper is miles off his line, he just hit it and hoped no skill and no where near Beckham's level of precision/technique.

Drink ‘biking’? Seems a novel enough way to commit suicide. It’s not the police you have to watch out for here. It’s the taxis and buses, and the kids throwing stones from the side of the road. Deplorable conditions for cyclists here in Manchester.

Seems a bit odd (unless you mean because of the amount of bad drivers) as there are some good bike lanes, the Sky team practice in Manchester (seen them on Kingway a few times).

Schalke will be in the champs league next season, can't see him missing out on that to come to us.

Motd, seems they're rushing it because of all the goals today.

My facebook has been full of how Suarez goal is amazing (he kicked it into an empty net from 45 yards)... fucking morons. You'd moan if he'd missed it. Oh apparently best hattrick ever as well.

It could be argued that Kevin Campbell's loan spell in '99 was better...

Definitely, saved us from relegation. Hopefully Jelavic will have a greater career with us.

Great save from Howard.
