Skysports saying everton are considering a 750k bid from Galatasaray.

The play inside a converted 747.

Adebayor ok, so to AV's player. 9 injured, some seriously. Perhaps Togo will pull out, if that happens others might? Terrible thing to happen, I would expect security for the world cup to be much tighter.

If I had any money left this month (i'm about as skint as everton) then i'd back a 2-2 draw. Arsenal have looked good in recent weeks but injuries and other commitments mean we might be in with a chance to get something.

Has anyone actual spotted Mo in a barber shop yet? I think Hibbo is injured, so we might see Seamus at RB. Whatever the team it needs Phil there to rip into the back line after every mistake.

What annoyed me is that I decided against getting the premier league badges for the home and away shirts I ordered... the away shirt had no badges, the home shirt has a shitty small imitation of the home badge, looks ghey as! I wanted a clean blue sleave! Those badges are the first thing to die in the wash. Not that i've washed em in the 4 months I've had them... they aren't used much and slip over other shirts. I got my doggie a home shirt.. as soon as I put it on it gets aggressive and attacks my other doggie

I buy to support the club (in a very small way)

^ That was in reference to getting him back on loan wasn't it?

I'd be happy with a draw against Arsenal... or if it's a loss, by only 1 goal... not 6... please!

Hopefully the African cup of nations, if Yak's going, can help with form. I thought peanuts was MOTM for work rate, creating chances etc, was frustrated by a few of his choices to shoot instead of pass/hold up, but overall he was the driving force today. Bily and Hibbo did indeed link up well at times, this is excellent to see. I thought some of bily's thru balls and passes were brilliant today, though he's still tiring early, the tracking back tackle mid-game was nice to see. I believe he will be excellent for us.

Surely if we keep up this pressure someone will arse it into the back of burnley's net???? I'm just worried that we'll be screwed on a counter. Bily is doing nicely, should be an excellent player for us once he's up to speed and bulked up somewhat. I thought hibbo's cross almost went in from the TV angle, was about to start a one man riot in the living room and wake everyone up!

Nup, he's is a throwing of the hands in frustration. Felli is giving us a clue as to how big he intends to grow the fro.

He does have a point, I always cringe when we get a goal that's not within 10mins from full time lol.

Looking at birmingham's form I'm thinking it will be a tough game for us, but winnable. The Chelsea game was highly amusing, I was in stitches when Saha got hit in the back of the head and it went in. Two weeks ago I honestly thought we're screwed, if we didn't pickup the 2 points we'd be right on the drop and I'm sure the very low confidence would have lead to a definite loss to Birmingham given their form, but that's changed thankfully... I'd like to see us get all 9 points before the new year, I can see us getting 4-5 and breathing space from the bottom. I'm still predicting top 10.

class vs ass for the goals, in hysterics... quality free kicks though

I too shall have to get to sleep somehow... Coleman MOTM for me. Hibbo started well, the tackle was needless as palacios probably wouldn't have been able to control the ball to get a shot on. TBH, I almost put $100 on 4-1. 3-0 and 4-0 defeats... they were paying pretty good and given the form of both sides seemed a good deal.. glad I didn't put money against us! (never have)

I hope not, much in all as some people here feel he does not deserve to be in the starting 11, nobody should be hoping/wishing that any of our players gets injured...

Let's not forget young jack was suffering a virus a few weeks back, though I expected him to have bounced back after the 2 week break. I personally think he's also being overplayed atm. Think hibbo should have been benched, Johnny H at RB, yak on from start... maybe we can't do that yet because of his injury recovery? Perhaps starting with Jo then..

I thought hietinga got back a few time during the game and provided some valuable cover, I also think that he's not settled into premier league or our club yet... give the new guys time ffs. Distin is the most settled because he's played the same position for most of our games and is a premier league player... I'm sure the new signings will fit in nicely by the end of the season... Niell will eventually get a go, he was rusty when he started playing for Australia against the Oranje but by the end of the game he was solid... tbh the pace of the EPL is a tad quicker than Aus v Ned and Aus v Oman... Patience...

Yup I'd say that's what he meant, also has the europa badge. I thought my shirts were incorrectly labelled when I saw the europa game and the names were in lowercase with different style text and numbers... thought I'd been jibbed

I guess this is a call to arms for fellow special1tv lovers... I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but I couldn't find "special1" or "special1tv" via forum search. For me, one of the many weekly joys in watching football and reading the articles pertaining to the game we love was to watch this whitty five minute show on Setanta.. or indeed on 'the youtube'.. as the network and production company were happy for it to be uploaded there. It was always a joy to watch and work out what was going to transpire on the show from any 'incidents' during the previous 2 weeks. For those that don't know about the show, or want a re-watch every episode: http://www.youtube.com/user/Doitchampions#p/c/514CEF8FC1621F16 Recommend you watch this one to see just how good the show could be at times: http://www.youtube.com/user/Doitchampions#p/c/514CEF8FC1621F16/52/8OX3NuNAEQQ Mario, the man behind the puppets has a twitter stream: http://twitter.com/special1tv/ There is a number of online petitions, this one is linked by Mario himself via twitter.. only 620ish so far.. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/special1tv/index.html If you loved the show, then please sign up to the petition and sign up to follow special1tv on twitter.. It would be nice to see one of the networks pick it up! Thank you. Fergus

syorksblues (Manchester City fan) "Utd were interested - but they've already got a c**t at RB" quality comment!

Another Rennes player.. and according to the article moyes is keeping an eye on 2 more... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5614197,00.html

I'm enjoying it, though I don't think much effort has been put in since FIFA09, which was a big leap forwards.. I'm finding the style of play/movement slightly harder... the AI still precision tackles from behind all the time! I used to rape teams on Professional mode, now I'm finding some matches to be very hard, disappointed as I'd moved to world class on 09 and was doing competently. Everton fired my as manager after the first 10 games I was in position 9, having just beat chelsea 1-0... tad harsh I thought! Now managing Hereford in League 2 (it was a choice between that and an irish team.), will see how far I can get them, wage budget restrictions make it very hard... learning my lesson now.. whole squad is out of energy, should have bought quantity over quality, hope I can make it to the next transfer window lol. Good honest fun, consumes alot of your time though, multiplayer FIFA parties on projector screen is where it's at... 2v2 is awesome fun, any more than that and co-ordination is difficult.

nite all, hope i wake up to good news . Bily will come good this season, have faith. He's already provided crucial goals in non-league games and came mighty close in Minsk.
