If that's true I want to be wet-nursed.

Don't want either to win but I want to see Spurs win even less than Chelsea.

Everton manager David Moyes says that comments he made about Nigerian players have been misunderstood. He questioned the true age of his striker Yakubu Ayegbeni and of Nigerian players in general. The Nigeria Football Association (NFA) has written to the English FA asking for Moyes to be sanctioned. "What I said has been taken totally out of context. I have never before been accused of being a racist, that idea is totally abhorrent to me," said Moyes. After Yakubu scored a hat-trick in Everton's Uefa Cup win over SK Brann on Thursday, Moyes told the Guardian newspaper: "He's only 25, albeit a Nigerian 25, and so if that is his age he's still got a good few years ahead of him." The comments caused outrage in Nigeria, but Moyes says he had no malicious intent. "What I said was a light hearted quip after Yakubu had scored a memorable hat-trick against Bergen," he said. "It was certainly a comment which neither upset nor offended the player himself. "Does anyone seriously believe that I would have made Yakubu the most expensive player in Everton's history if I had any concerns about his age? But NFA spokesman Ademola Olajire says the comments have embarrassed the country. "His statement is insulting to the Nigerian nation and unbecoming of a Premier League manager," Olajire told BBC Sport. "We don't take kindly to snide remarks about our players, or our nation and we have sent a strongly-worded complaint to the English FA. "Seriously, we will go at any length to ensure he is brought to book to explain his comments."

Yes, now stop interupting my game of cups......

I think I'd keep Beye, Faye and N'Zogbia, the rest can fuck off.

I don't really agree. I love the guy but he came here at the end of his career and never played for us. Keegan and Shearer gave more of their prime to us. He brought us Brilliant football and awesome league displays finishes etc, champions league. He done a lot of good and is a local personality however that doesn't warrant a statue outside St.James's. A statue for the North East perhaps? Talked that up !

How can a business with no debt and the benefit of a huge parachute payment go into administration? The parachute payment isn't exactly 'huge' is it and it only lasts for one or two seasons doesn't it? I'm more referring to the spiral of players/staff leaving, lack of season ticket renewals and failure to get promotion again. I'm no economists, but I know that relegation isn't exactly economically sound! Not sure if its correct but I heard a while back that finishing bottom of the premier league, including parachute payments is worth £50m. -
Was it just me or did Smith claim for handball when Faye raised his arm just prior to his goal ?

His pass to Rooney was sublime.

Prosecutors in Saudi Arabia have begun investigating 57 young men who were arrested on Thursday for flirting with girls at shopping centres in Mecca. The men are accused of wearing indecent clothes, playing loud music and dancing in order to attract the attention of girls, the Saudi Gazette reported. They were arrested following a request of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. The mutaween enforce Saudi Arabia's conservative brand of Islam, Wahhabism. Earlier in the month, the authorities enforced a ban on the sale of red roses and other symbols used in many countries to mark Valentine's Day. The ban is partly because of the connection with a "pagan Christian holiday", and also because the festival itself is seen as encouraging relations between the sexes outside marriage, punishable by law in the kingdom. The Prosecution and Investigation Commission said it had received reports of such "bad" behaviour by 57 young men at a number of shopping centres in the holy city of Mecca, the Saudi Gazette said. The guardians of some of the men defended their actions, however, saying they would regularly get together at the weekend to have fun without ever violating laws governing the segregation of the sexes, it added.
