I thought Villa would beat the baggies and Bolton would get at least a draw. Delighted Norwich got a point, the shyte were terrible after conceding
Boltons loss will increase pressure on Coyle as that was 3 points they would probably would have expected to pick up.
Roll on tomorrow

Injections etc Codders?
Are these free btw on the NHS ?
A couple of jabs and they are free and they recommend malaria tablets. Dont bother with malaria tablets, they dont actually prevent it and if you get it they make it harder to treat.

how long was that for? Did it include flights from the UK?
2 weeks, flights from heathrow stop over in bahrain. About 10.5 hours if I recall correctly, couldnt accurately say as I dropped a load of valium - the only way to fly. A few wife beaters at the bar and a couple of vallies later you wake up in another continent

We need a win and I reckon we will get one

A mate has just come back from Vietnam and said it was brilliant, very cheap. He will definitely be going back

Goa, its fucking wicked and nigh on impossible to spend any money.
A bottle of kingfisher was about 35p there, 20 fags, 50p. The most amazing hash I have ever smoked as well about a pound a gram. Awesome sea food curries with prawns just plucked from the sea
The holiday paid for itself as well when I flogged all the looky looky clothes I bought over there on ebay

Was where I booked mine, cost £299.00 for a fortnight, they started at £399.00 but I haggled. The accomodation was spacious, clean but very basic. The air con worked intermittently but it does go cool at night there but red hot during the day.
Still 35p kingfisher will cool you off
I stayed in the North at Calungute but going to the south in March next year, it is supposed to more picturesque and not quite as touristy as the North

I havent got room for that I would have to get rid of some tools in the garage

Your guess is as good as ours if i'm honest. But i think his 2 Loan deals back to Portugal may tell us something. Maybe he hasnt adapted to the English game in the reserves, or generally struggling to adapt to life in England. As for a fee? I think it was undisclosed, so i have no idea.
Welcome to TT btw
This
I think its the lifestyle in England otherwise he would be loaned out in England I would have thought. It hardly helps him settle when sent back to Portugal all the time

The Sun have followed suit today.
Whats the point? We dont need a defender or a defensive midfielder.
We have a world cup finalist CB who cant get a game.

Does it blow at all? Even cold air?

OK - there ARE leagues where this works and seems to work very well. BUT...
It's NOT the sport we love.
I like women's beach volleyball - works for me... but I'd not want to see Fellaini doing it.
The problem here is that the investors aren't getting the returns they wanted (surprise surprise) and they realise they could actually lose a lot of money! so they're wanting to safeguard their investment. Primarily it's American owners who (as ever) want to turn 'soccer' into something they understand... 4 quarters will be next on the agenda!
On a more serious side, there ARE some merits to it - but they're completely forgetting what makes football so great - competition! giant killings! freak results!
FIFA aren't much better though - they are just being a bit more subtle about it in pretending the CL is an 'open' competition - but know the odds are totally against winning it... esp since they seed the damn thing to make sure the top teams are pretty safe.
This was ALL predicted when the Premier League started (some of your are too young). It's taken 20 years for it to really be obvious, but our game is going the way of American sport. It's now 'entertainment' and not sport. Sport WAS entertaining, but that's not the same as BEING entertainment. Entertainment is when you go home at 5.00 having enjoyed a performance. Sport is when your entire week is made or ruined by the result.
Football is holding back the tears to see your team finally WIN a bloody trophy and wondering if such a day will always be in the memory of your son when you've shuffled off this mortal coil. Football is a lump in your throat when you sing Abide With Me. Football is sparing a thought for the 96 fans whose passion for their team allowed others to treat them like animals and cost them their life. Football is that moment when ALL your worldly worries disappear for a moment as your team finally break the deadlock. Football is taking your son to his first game and seeing the look in their eyes at the spectacle of it all.
Entertainment is when you choose where to go because they have better hotdogs and your wife understands.
Not quite the same - not quite the same at all.
Exactly this.
Very eloquent, for a Manc

to be as polite as I possibly can be - fuck you you fucking business minded, souless, mindless wankers.
Marco would be proud of that
Its the same as the financial fair play rules, only designed to keep the top 4-5 exclusive

I thought he had something to offer when he left. He has the talent but consistency is his problem. A 30 yard screamer followed by squandering absolute sitters.
In his time away from Goodison he has maintained an ability to do wonderful things and score great goals but still remains inconsistent, this is why nobody else but Celtic wanted him.
A backward step for us and to echo most thoughts on here I will be disappointed if his arrival limits the chances of our younger lads. He had a chance here before and didnt take it

At the end of the day, who would qualify for a permanent place in the Premier League? How would they decide that?
Alphabetically, say A-K
Unlucky Liverpool, Man Utd and Man City, oh and Tottenham

Not sure how it would work really. How could you deny some Championship clubs the potential pot of gold?
It says they are keen on a franchising model, fucking americans.
How does that work? How does a franchise apply to football clubs?

Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed it would be "suicide" to scrap relegation from the Premier League.
Several of the biggest Barclays Premier League clubs want to do away with relegation and promotion in the top flight, according to League Managers' Association chief executive Richard Bevan.
Bevan claimed the American and Asian owners of Premier League sides are keen on a franchising model.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Sunderland are all in American hands, Manchester City are run from Abu Dhabi, while other clubs including Chelsea and Blackburn also have foreign investors.
Bevan fears that if more teams change ownership, there could be a vote to abolish relegation, a move which would require the backing of two thirds of Premier League clubs as well as Football Association approval.
However, Ferguson is leading the opposition.
"I don't see where the end product comes in," said the Scot.
"There are at least eight teams in the Championship at the moment with great history.
"What do you say to those eight teams, they can never play in the Premier League?
Im with SAF on this one. It would be a nonsense and kill football in the lower leagues stone dead

Racing Genks young Belgian international linked with a move to goodison

He is training with Celtic at the moment so I agree he will probably end up there.
Little point in bringing him here and wasting money on wages. Plenty of players we have I would rather see play and unless a serious injury crisis occurs
-
This is true, he has something that cant be taught.
Sometimes I just feel he is a luxury we cant afford

Seem like a nice bunch and they have a bit of love for us
As they point out they have been where we are now.
Doesnt seem to matter which club we talk to they all rave about Cahill

I asked the missus' last night if she fancied trying anal?
She promptly replied "F*ck that shit!"
"that's the spirit" i thought.

They have been after football for a long time due to the masses of tax evasion/avoidance that goes on.
Portsmouth were the major culprits of paying players masses of money on image rights to lessen the tax burden on wages. John Utake was a classic example, image rights of £2million a year, will he really generate that many shirt sales? Did he fluck

Gascoigne on high strength lager is probably more accurate

Yeah right. Valencia have balanced their books we havent.

Mario Balotelli and fireworks

When he wants to be he is a wonderful player however he clearly doesnt have the sense he was born with
Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has escaped unhurt after a firework went off in his bathroom.
Two fire engines were sent to the home of the 21-year-old Italy international in Mottram St Andrew, Macclesfield, just after midnight on Saturday morning after the alarm was raised.
They found a fire in the bathroom on the first floor of the detached property.
Four firefighters arrived wearing breathing apparatus and used two hose reel water jets to douse the flames, and a large fan was deployed to clear smoke.
A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Crews managed to put the fire out within half an hour of arriving but remained at the scene until 2.45am to prevent any possible flare-ups.
"Smoke alarms were fitted at the property and the occupiers were able to get out unharmed. The fire was caused by a firework."
The cause of the blaze is being examined by fire investigators and police but is not being treated as suspicious.
