Dunno about Torres, but he scares the crap out of me.

And that my friends is how football should be played. He dishes it out,but accepts it back by putting himself on the line.

I don't care if he does get some red cards. I want to see him in an Everton shirt.

Jeezus, remember how big Dunc terrified ManUre.... they would be shitting themselves if Cana was on the team sheet.

Christ, if his translations are as bad as that, what is his grammar like.

Maybe it is best not to have someone in who can't understand what Moysie is telling him.

I would have thought he'd proper piss Liverpool off by joining us, but joining Man United is going one step further than that

I just spat my tea all over the computer reading that.

Dunno about anyone else, but I would just love to see Owen go to ManUre. (Maybe they would let us have Rooney back at a cut price if they did......j/k )

Cold cider on a hot day is great........ but it ain't ale.

Mann's Original is ale...... Ooops giving my age away here.

If you need slang for beer, just call it fizz or something.

How anyone can think of a spirit as ale? Geezus no wonder they fall over after a couple of pints.

Just to show how cantankerous an old git like me can be. There is no such thing as PEAR CIDER. It is Perry!

"I'll drink lager when Benitez shows his arse in a Yate's............... Oh bugger there he goes, he is showing off Gerard to the drunks"

Who is the best winger we could hope for ? Realistically, there isn't one.

 

Anyone rate Arjen Robben ? I used to think he was great. Now I suspect he is getting a little long in the tooth. Useful, but no longer great.

Secretly hoping we could nick him from Madrid while they're buying so many players . Not a snowball in hell's chance

 

Anyone better and affordable ? Nope, nobody to fit that criterior. Anyone better we can't afford, anyone we can afford is not much use.

(Sorry was that a little too pessimistic???)

They look like the things you hang up in the back of the car.

Certainly don't seem to be full sized.

I have a strong feeling that Red Bull will close the gap on Brawn very quickly. Vettel may even overtake Button for the championship.

The Red Bull team (formerly Jaguar by the way) has the better car now.

The Brawn is still pretty good though, so I think it could be very close by the end of the season. I expect it to get a lot more exciting from here on in.

Philistines...

It is Not England versus Australia for the ashes.

It is England and WALES versus Australia.

Oh well the media call the team England all the time. So do most other people too.

Oh gawd I can't wait for the tennis to end.

It drives me mad, every game looks the same. Perhaps if the tv cameras looked at the pitch side on instead of end on it would look better?

I hate the game, never really watch it if I can avoid it.

By the way how is Rod Laver doing this year, not heard his name mentioned yet.

Sod the Fiorentina players... Lets have the Fiorentina Stadium.................

The story seems to indicate a deal has already been done.

Anyone else dubious about this?

Anyone been watching the Confederations Cup?

Howard was praised for his performances in goal for USA and he was there in the final. (Pity they lost to Brazil though)

Pienaar though, was mentioned a few times as possibly being the most influential player in the competition. Apparently there is a vote on who was the best player sometime tonight. His name is in the pile.

Just watched the final..... USA go 2 - 0 up against Brazil... and then get beat 3 - 2.

Good try though

I saw a Liverpool season ticket nailed to a tree in Stanley Park today.

I thought to myself, "I'm having that........... you never know when you might need a nail"

1 - 1 draw with Germany and Rodwell scored.

Now lets hope they go on to win with Rodders playing.

*cough cough* I knew the words, but never sing them. I used to but got funny looks.

Incidentally, I still get the hairs on my neck standing up when I hear the tune played. Am I the only one?

Rooney.

Best one word reply yet

Apparently the games will be sold to BSkyB. So this is a 'middle man' type of thing. I can see what will happen.

"I can't afford to go to the match and I can't afford to watch it on the tv either. When is the ladies rugby being shown?"

Is it Patrick Stewart? (Captain Jean Luc Picard of Star trek)

He didn't appear in either but he did a stage play of Sons and Lovers and I am told he collects antiques (a la Lovejoy)

I wonder if he is saving for the 'op'

Apparently, they do it in Thailand without a lot of red tape.

That last one is for Cols, I can see him drooling as we speak.

Don't want to pee on your chips, but to me that was infantile and pathetic. If you enjoyed it, good for you. To me it was total crap.

If we were to bring a foreign club to Goodison I would vote for Bayern Munich. I was at THAT game and it was fantastic. It would be nice to do it again, even in a friendly.

Other foreign teams that would be good to see at Goodison.....

Boca Juniors

Barca

Inter Milan.

Just a few names from my own ideas. I am sure some of them would be pleased to warm up against us for European football. It would do us good too.

I think it is endemic of being an Everton fan that pessimism is the rule at this time of year.

I suspect that with us not being in debt to the tune of umpteen million pounds, then there will be some leeway for purchases. Just who to buy though I have no idea. I am sure Moysie will buy someone who has not yet been mentioned. he has a habit of doing that.

I reckon that by the end of this month there will be a real name in the offing, if we have not already signed him by then.

Yes it is postponed until a later date because We are in Europe then! :thumbsup_still:
