Matt

that was what I was thinking

hes proved that at Wigan. Class is forever, form is temporary

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-27424064 what. the. fuck.

depending on the area. if its that straight red line you've eluded too then its rather inflexible I think its Berlin where the trams use the same lines as the trains, depending on the area and time or day. Having a 6 car train is great for match days but a waste of energy when theres 20 people using it to get around, depending on the time of day. I think if you could create a hybrid time table where trams are used mostly (cheaper, more efficient) and then a train for match days, it makes more sense. Would require a study of how many people use a train vs time of day vs location

punch or with the car?

I'd like both if I'm honest, and dont see any reason why we couldnt get the 2 for 10m

I notice it each time Im over, because everything is so spread out (not to mention some of the cities are not designed for travelling on foot, and theres nearly no real public transport to speak off for the most part) it becomes essential to drive everywhere.

http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2014/05/15/hibbert-in-contract-talks looks like he will figure again

As someone who lives on the side of a mountain, I understand the inconvenience of public transport, or at least I would if the Swiss hadn't made such a damn good job of it. The way they structured the train line and bus routes for example, means I can get pretty much anywhere with a 15m walk of a station/stop. The initial reasoning for the network? The ski centre behind us, which is used rarely most of the year. They designed the network in such a way that it is useful on a day to day use but also service its main goal. It just take a little creativity Parking at a stadium is always going to require walking to the gate, but more importantly than that, parking takes up masses of space. I think I mentioned it a few pages back, that space is less of an issue for most of the US. I think if Everton want to stay somewhere nearby, the added cost of additional land for parking would be a big put-off as EFC would have to take all the expenses, as it benefits noone else. The advantage of the public services is that the government/council have to invest and therefore less cost impact for the club, whilst adding value to the surrounding area and potentially encouraging new business to the area. Whatever the area turns out to edit: and " It's so much easier just to get in your car and drive" youve been over there too long mate

Because its convenient, flexible and sometimes cheaper. But if the public transport was properly invested in and prices made reasonable, people would use the services more. Pay back for the investment would then take longer, meaning less desire to implement.

well.... thats useless!

contract not renewed. shame, was hoping he would get to stay on http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2014/05/15/vellios-departs

http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2014/05/15/vellios-departs so long softlad. what a way to blow a chance of a lifetime...

Geez, you're not wrong!

Think you misunderstood the point of the thread Pete

disagree, but we will see

Lets see Martinez revitalize him to that player he has the potential to be. Hes not as bad as people are making out!

Germany for me, who will be 3rd or 4th favourite. Would be awesome if they beat Uruguay in the final so Suarez gets to lose in the last game again

Im still happy to give him a chance, but we know Lukaku can do the job so I wouldnt be sad to say to Lacina "1in1" Traore

Not sure I understand. We make no money from any of the merchandise with the Umbro badge, so how is it a backward step? I understand the argument that Nike is more "cool" but financially (sales at least) it makes no difference. So, step back in terms of image? First season, yeah but the home kit took time to get used to. This seasons home kit was shite, though the away and 3rd were very smart.

Basically no due to space. Plus, I imagine the whole ground needs an upgrade so it would probably cost about the same anyway, not to mention the impact on the surrounding area.

I'll be happy if he returns and shows more of the promise rather than more of the frustrating traits that has clouded his time here. Hopefully with a full season without injury, he will go on to become what we all expect he will be - a superstar

loaning him again and getting Remy would be a great compromise!

All the best mate!
