Agreed. When we can't afford to buy players, we can't afford to give them away without being absolutely positive they have been used to the best effect without result. The guy could even become a great defender should he not succeed as a striker. As a kid, the pallette is still empty.

Vic strikes me as a guy that needs to be motivated and told how good he is. People forget that he's only 23, and still has a few years before he is expected to reach his prime. You can argue that there are other players of similar age, but that would be irrelevant, as Vic is who he is. He's not had a long period in the team, and the first time Moyes gives him a period in the team, fans moan. He was looking good before he broke his leg. For me, he needs this season under his belt, where he is part of something. If after he has had a big part to play, there is no improvement, then great, sell, but to invest what we've invested in him, and then cart him out just as he is getting his chance is nothing short of impatient and short sightedness.

Too many spam emails last time I signed up.

The government should just send the army in and shoot those who don't go home. End of.

Birmingham also.

Sounds to me like lads have drove up and started stuff themselves. Can't see why anyone up here would be arsed. All grown up now since then.

So people in Liverpool are going to wreck their own City because a guy in London is shot ?

Do you see what you've done now Pete? No wonder players won't join us.

Only one cape.

£3M is a joke bid to be honest. The guy is worth a lot more than that.

Apparently Bruce Willis will play up front, with .............

I had to run it through Photoshop and brighten it up before I could see anything. I think it would be headline news everywhere if true. We'll try everything to get out of this match lol.

Are you sure it's not one of those American Werewolf thingies?

How do you get to watch it? Must you sign up etc?

Draw tends to be the normal outcome. So I'll say a 3-1 draw to Everton.

Yep, all the rallying gets on my titties to be honest. He didn't 'have' to say 'anything' but for me, this time his statement just reminds me of a player who is a little too comfortable. They're professional players, not amateurs. Strictly speaking, every team in the league should be good enough to win the league. It's not like they've only just started to kick a ball round. Every pro should be confident. It's their job to compete after all, and not to admit defeat.

What is it? I can only make out a wing mirror.

Which ship is it? Any idea? I saw a big one there a few years ago called 'something or other' of the seas. I was expecting the thing to be gigantic, but was quite suprised when I saw it in real life.

Who is Mark Saggers? He predicted we will finish above Liverpool and Arsenal, so obviously got to the pub before everyone else lol. Everybody knows we will finish top 4 this season but him.

We have the players in the squad to compete at the top level if all can stay fit, and competing is what they should be doing. Our team is full of International players, and top class professionals, so for players to not be thinking about winning the title is preposterous. We could do with a bigger squad for sure, but we're only allowed 25 anyway, and our 25 is one of the best 25 in the league. If you aim foor the title, you might just end up with a European place, but aiming solely for a European place will end in disappointment. Fans don't want to hear negativeness from players, and don't want to hear players settling, and basically saying "oh well". It's the fans right to accept a situation. It is not the right of the players. As a fan, I'm quite happy to enjoy football, and not necessarily worry too much if we don't win everything in sight, and I've expressed that in other posts, but I expect the attitude of the players to be absolutely focused, and settling for what you have is not what the players should be doing. Painting yourself as underdogs doesn't exactly put the fear of God into the opponent. The key is to let others decide who the underdog is, and instead make your opponents wish they'd stayed at home. Too many old players in our squad. Not hungry enough for my liking.

If he thinks there are no expectations I'm afraid he should pack his bags and jump on the next plane back to Australia. What about the fans Tim? They might not expect the team to win trophies every year, but they do expect you all to work your ass off and sweat and pant for the club, every single second, of every single minute that you are on the pitch representing our club. Pay me 60k per week and I'll keep running until I die. We do have expectations. We expect 100% from every player. If we had that, we would be a lot closer to the top of the table than we have been recently. I thought to myself the other day, how different things are now. The old Everton spirit of fighting until the final whistle seems to have gone. The big difference between players who join us from lower leagues, and players who have now made it, is that the lower league players work their asses off. Some of our players seem to be content. Sorry Tim, but don't tell fans there are no expectations, or I'll personally drag your sorry ass to the airport and kick your ass all the way to the runway.

I agree about the bees. They are an endangered species apparently. Not sure I'd want a whole nest of them in my garden though if I'm honest. I did have quite a large family of Earwigs in the loft compartment of the bird feeder. Probably not the safest place to build a home if you are an insect. I reckon if one bird got in it would be bye bye Earwigs. Below are a few pictures of some stuff I've made, and my little workshop. Took me a while as the editor is difficult to use with pics.

Lol, cracker.

Great. Now every time we need to advertise something, we can all join your forum and spam it out for free. Cool.
