couldnt link it on my phone... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2350300/Manchester-United-bid-20m-Leighton-Baines--David-Moyes-told-Everton-star-sale.html right down at the bottom....

indeed it will, and its not even open yet! Read in the Daily Mail that Fellis release clause expires mid August

thats what I was thinking. You can only get paper or the fancy bag-for-life bags here. Makes sense to use them anyway. As for the radio nonsense - turn it off or put a CD on, quite simple really!

Not seen that before, was quite clever! Will be stealing that

a good player does not a good pundit maketh....

that'll do me

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/8795668/Sky-Sources-Everton-reject-Manchester-United-bid-for-Leighton-Baines 10-12m is laughable if thats true. treble it and you get closer. 30m for a 3-4 years of his quality supplying the likes of RVP and Rooney. Hes a better player than Cole was in his prime and as previously mentioned, the most creative player in Europe. Created more goal scoring opportunities than the like s of the best players in the world. 10m.... Pfff....

some of it is encouraging, a lot of it irked me, least of all the excuses from the off for looking tired.... ok, lets compare apples with apples. Even though we arent at the same level of fame as Utd, their retail is GLOBAL. You can buy Utd merchandise around the world, without really having to search. We have 2 shops in the city where the club is based (where the vast majority have already declared their allegiance (i.e. no new market to expand into)) and a website which charges a lot for shipping. All this despite having massive pull in Australia (through Cahill), USA (through Howard and Donovan) and apparently the far East (with this new TV show and Chang). Different as in more profitable? Im not going to analysing the commercial income of each team, cant be arsed, it just seemed like a deflective statement. Also, why ask Deloitte to check and compare, if youre saying compare like with like? On the plus side, it is a guaranteed income, which considering the economy (and recent kit and badge designs) is probably a good thing. If only it wasnt 10 years long.... as above for the most part, but also fair play for acknowledging that they need to do better. All other times its come across as if theyre happy where they are. no, not it isnt. It isnt even a good deal. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/news/article-2177186/Premier-League-shirt-sponsor-deals-rise-147m.html Ok, its from the Daily Fail and a year old but still accurate. Our deal, in its 3 cycle (initial deal + 2 extensions, I think) brings in 4m a year. Sunderland signed a deal that is 5 times that a year!!!!! I would be interested to know the expected revenue. The word "lucrative" is used too often and Im sceptical. a part of the saving is the recent deal with Finch Farm, where a nice 30% shaved off of the 1.5m a year rent - 500k. This means, without that very recent development, youve managed to scrape off 200k in 5 years. Every penny helps but dont try and disguise it as anything else but a meagre savings. Finally, something that wasnt documented but our CEO mentions twice in quick succession: Everton is open, transparent and ready to engage with its fans... Give me a break. Opened the doors for an AGM have you? As much as I appreciate their professionalism and privacy over transfer deals, their communication with fans is rubbish.

Whoever let Martin Keown be a pundit shouldve been slapped. Whoever let him be a commentator shouldve been hung by his short and curlies... "yeah, its a hot one here, its almost unbearable" "indeed it is, nearly 29 degrees here"

source?

what was there to save?! was seemless wasn't it

Webb was correct according to the rules, think Mike posted something to back him up

swimming or allergy? Might be a health and safety rule for either; must be able to swim or must not have an allergy to horses. Makes perfect sense....

Since the other thread was initially to bitch about referees and their mistakes, Im starting a new one as I (hope) to resurrect Zoos quiz. I can move the old questions and answers here if people want?

1) You're not going to be popular here, but you have to award the goal. The striker has not committed an offence, and neither has his team. It is unfortunate that the defender has tripped over your boot – but you and your boots are considered in Law part of the field of play. So calm everyone down, explain your decision – and tie your laces properly. 2) He might be telling the truth here – but it doesn't matter what he shouted. The simple fact is that, if you decide his shout distracted an opponent, then it is unsporting behaviour. Show the striker a yellow card, and restart with an indirect free kick to the defence. 3) Award the goal. He's not in an offside position, and defenders should be playing to the whistle. You judged his injury was not serious enough to stop the game, and you were right. While his behaviour may seem unsavoury, no offence has been committed. There's no reason to disallow the goal. I actually disagree with 1st point. Its against the rules of the game to have a player not properly equipped. Anyone remember Cahill losing his boot, then going one-on-one with the keeper only for Webb to stop play?

was going to say he cant swim, but you mentioned the horses so.... allergy to horses? Streeeeeeeeeeeeeech!

and then some - most creative player in Europes top 5 leagues....

caughtoffside is rubbish. Not a single quote in there and rehashed old news...

aaah! didnt know that. Not just a pretty face, are ya?

nothing there to make me ignore the piece of crap badge...

cant have won it in the 10th if pitcher played a perfect game. 36 hits though could mean they didnt score from any of them. I dont know about the penalties in baseball though

Id love to have him alongside Jags, great competition in the defence.

because the Yankees suck
