great article in the times today. not really a rumour but as we already had a topic.

People seem to frown at text typing

If you have any rumours, provide a link

Look for the topic before starting a new one.

Apart from that all things are good, there is good banter on this forum and people seem to respect everyones opinions (as long as you try and back it up).

Oh and you name Neville18 should cause quite a debate, everybody's opinion seems to be divided on captain fantastic

Great deal if it happens IMO, lets not judge him before he gets here. An extra body for no fee, who is pacy and can play upfront, behind the striker or on the wing. Throw into the mix he is captain of his national team and has over 120 caps. It seems fine to me.

Had our chance to get the title last year, but lost the last game of the season to arsenal, only needed a draw and it would have been ours.

There is only Arsenal, Everton and recently Chelsea that warrant mentioning

he certainly was tremendous, i said on the spurs game thread i wanted him in and he looks good going forward (i think). Hopemoyes doesn't leave him out now, although chelsea next, it would be hard to repeat that against ashley cole

it was in his post match interview mate. Coleman MOM by a country mile, few crunching tackles, had the balls to stand up to and argue with crouch and he looks like cafu going forward (maybe i am getting a little excited)

He used to go into my mates shop 'Lost Art' on bold street. Football isn't his passion so its no wonder he has let his undoubted talent go to waste. He much prefers DJ'ing and Skateboarding.

i thought rodwell was ok for tottenham. Anyway i prefer bills line up. I am hoping rodwell gets a few weeks of bench action to recharge his battery. he looks pooped. I would play jo if available, his last 2 games have been a big improvement, may not of scored but he has held the ball up and led the line well and obviously saha to partner him

Now then, i am hoping with the confidence boost received in Athens and Heitinga, Neil, Saha and Rodwell to come back we can pick up the points. We have had a good few results recently agains spurs. So i am going for a hard fought 2-1 win.

i might bottle him when i see him next, see if he still likes us then.

i want him just because he is called geoffrey

I've gone for Coleman, thought he was exceptional tonight. Looks a good prospect, and seems to like the odd dart forward. Just edged it from hibbo and pienaar for me

How has the season been shaping up so far?

Not very well, infact bloody awful, if we had a fit squad we would be fine, however having near 10 players out every single week doesn't help. I expect it to pick up after crimbo, i just hope that isn't too late

What are your expectations for this season? Have they changed from day one?

I expected to finish top 6 at the start of the season, maybe challenge for fourth spot, unfortunately it doesn't look likely at the moment. I would now be happy to finish top 8

Who do you think is your most important player(s)?

Our most important players have been out all season, Arteta and Jagielka. Without Arteta we don't have the guile. Captain manchester has also poven to be a big miss, he isn't the best player but he is up there with the top captains

Your worst player(s)?

I hate to single players out for criticism, however Hibbert and Gosling are not good enough

What sort of line-up will be put out against us?

I expect us to play 451 formaation with cahill supporting Saha, he has a knack of bagging against you

Are you surprised by Liverpool's poor start to the season which also included going out of the Champions League and joining you in the Europa League?

I am quite surprised, but it shows the lack of quality throughout your squad, it has been highlighted everywhere but without Torres and Gerard you don't have much

Where do you expect Everton and Liverpool to finish in the Premier League?

I expect everton to finish top ten probably 8th, liverpool i think will finish outside the top 4 5th or 6th

Which Liverpool player will you fear the most?

Torres if fit, if not Gerrard

Care to predict the score?

Predict an everton peformance/score line is impossible. 2-1 everton

Romey, i am with you, i feel exactly the same

We've played Hull since Ad haha Both are back now!

I must have worded my response wrong, i realise that they both return from suspension for the derby.

I have not heard anything of them being injured, obviously billy laa has been sidelined because of a rash challenge (3 game ban) and felli was also banned in the last game.

Well after being fairly sure we would beat Hull on wednesday, i am now fairly sure we will get beat on wednesday. To be honest i don't even know what i would do. Probably go for a 4-5-1 as we played alot better like that in the second half against hull. My team would be

Howard

Hibbert Yobo Distin Baines

Heitinga

Pienaar Fellaini Bilyletdinov

Cahill

Saha

Put hibbert in for Neill because he knows exactly what it means to the fans. Please god send us a win

i don't want to leave either. Do you think if we throw toys and dummies onto the goodison pitch, they will get the picture?

i don't fancy us getting anybody exciting

i believe that this seasons home kit was our most succesfull kit (in terms of sales) only untill our third kit was released which then went on to beat that. So i think the sales have been brilliant. I might even get the pink stripy one, then i have the full set

probably not what we need, but he is in my opinion better than any of the right backs we have

Well, i think we will turn these over, a repeat of the carling cup game wouldn't go a miss. I hope Moyes scraps the 4-5-1 and goes with a 4-4-2.

Howard

Neil Yobo Distin Baines

Gosling Heitinga Rodwell Cahill

Yakubu Saha

I would rather drop both rodwell and gosling, however we have nobody to step in, i think bily is out. I would also prefer cahill in the middle however he will be pushed into a non-effective position again.

Not so confident now i have put the team on paper. F**k it 2-0 a goal a piece to saha and yakubu

I also think Ibrahim Said, Espen Baardsen, Lei Weifeng, Anthony Gardner, Van Der Meyde, Scott Spencer, Per Kroldrup, Guillaume Plessis, Eddy Bosnar and Rodrigo should all be on it

A few missed, i think pienaar and baines should be in there

again, not a chance in hell
