If folks are upset by it why not get the All Blacks to perform it for us? Maybe we can get the Aborigines from Aus to throw a few boomerangs around Tim Cahill as well and a few Sioux warriors to do a war dance behind Tim Howards goal. That way we insult lots of ethnic people at once and the Maori's won't feel like they are the only ones having the piss taken out of them. Maybe a few sword dancers in kilts to keep Moysie happy too.

Iggy I have no numbers at all I lost them ages ago. If you get the chance PM it to me. Still trying to get the time off. But it looks like I am right out of luck. Short of manpower at work and they are reluctant to even let you die without a prior notification. (in triplicate and counter signed by your granny's parents)

Yep it is really friendly, help yourself to tea and biscuits. It is Iggy's turn to buy them so eat as many as you like

Any idea what kind of opposition we can expect from Malaga?

Bloody hell thats a bit cynical. (I hope to high heaven you are not right though. But it does sound like the way some of them think doesn't it?)

Not too sure I would want advice from a team that was beaten 8 - 1 by them to be honest.

I enjoyed that read. Don't get the Guardian so I would have missed it. Thanks for posting it up.

4give u 4 txt spk? Never ROFL I think the rule is a good one though.

Jacques Chirac, The French President, is sitting in his office when his telephone rings. "Hallo, Mr. Chirac!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy Down at the Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!" "Well, Paddy," Chirac replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?" "Right now," says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbour Seamus, and the entire darts team from the pub. That makes eight!" Chirac paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command." "Begoora!" says Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back." Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!" "And what equipment would that be Paddy?" Chirac asks. "Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor." Chirac sighs amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 60,000 tanks and 50,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I have increased my army to 150,000,000 since we last spoke." "Saints preserve us!" says Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you." Sure enough, Paddy rings again the next day. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We have modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!" Chirac was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 1000 bombers and 2000 fighter planes. My military bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000,000!" "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" says Paddy, "I will have to ring you back." Sure enough, Paddy calls again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr. Chirac! I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the war." "Really? I am sorry to hear that," says Chirac. "Why the sudden change of heart?" "Well," says Paddy, "we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness, and decided there is no bleeden' way we can feed 200,000,000 prisoners

Dunno about the opposition, but they scared the crap out of me. What are they thinking of?

Unfortunately, as far as we know, Preston have not asked to borrow him.

You losing your bottle SteveO? I only ask cos I think mine is about to go screaming off into the distance too. I can't get that 7 - 0 drubbing out of my head from a couple of years ago. frankly, I am bricking it.

Why set up a new team? Just build a stadium and I am sure Everton will move in. They seem determined to leave the city.

Top managers are admired, but not always liked by the players. Personally, I think that if a player moans and bitches it is usually because they are not as good as they think they are and the manager has every right to play or not play them as he sees fit. If a player is good enough to be a regular, it is unlikely you will hear him moaning about the manager.

I am trying like mad to get the time off to come up for the Arsenal game, but I have so many days off this year already it looks like I may have to miss it this time around. If I can make it, I will be in Frosties after the match.

Only if she wears an Everton kit five sizes too small Or is that sexist?????

I tend to agree with Patto. I am not rich and I can fork out cash. The club may not be rich either, but they could and should fork out too. That is only my opinion, you may disagree. However I think the reason we are short of signing new players is not just down to money, it is a lot of dithering by the powers that be.

Thanks guys, I expect that if he is fit he is likely to be loaned out to someone again. So I suppose if we get some cash in, we could perhaps be interested in him again. But who knows?

Of the model????????

It is a bit close to the end of the transfer window I think, unless they are in talks with someone already it is going to be tight to get any decent signings in now I think. But you never know, I never expected Felli to be bought last year, but he was. who knows what Davey is thinking in his little office, he might have been in negotiations for almost anybody without us being told.

Manny's name pops up now and again. Anyone know what his position is these days? (As regards what he is doing etc.)

You think Citeh will try to buy Senderos out from under our noses for pure spite?

I don't think anyone who is involved with ferrari is as special as Shuey. But it would be interesting if he is crap now wouldn't it?

Good for them, lets hope they can move onwards and upwards now.

If he does go to Citeh I would like his balls to go square, fester at the corners and then his fingernails drop off so he can't scratch them.......then his cock can fall off.
