Deano

Yeah they have scored in all their home games this season. That will stop today. This is our strongest 11 minus ben arfa. 3-0 Nolan, Shola and Barton

Just another sign of the PL becoming even more americanised. I dont care so long as a stinking rich american comes in for us in the summer.

Ya better stop smokin the weed ma'man.

Irrationally cynical as well. What purpose would that serve? Henry did it on the edge of the box against either manu or liverpool iirc.

That would be the side id put out too, either nolan or ireland in the hole. Think AP will start with lovenkrands and shola up top and nolan in midfield however. Ireland off the bench again imo. 3-1

Is it 3 or 4 games over there? Who we playing again?

No offence intended but did you really need to ask? He hasn't played in months. His missus is badly injured. Man Utd had most of the ball when he was on. His missus is injured? What the fuck has that got to do with his pace? Try reading his post again, Captain Serious. He mentions slow reactions, it's not beyond the realms of reality to link that to his mental state of mind at the time. So are you always tripping up and bumping into things?

Over 120 French League Appearances. 34 Champions League Appearances. 5 French League Titles 2 French Cups 2 French League Cups Before the age of 23, aye he's done fuck all. Never knew that! Fuckin hell. Definitly signed a player with pedigree like.

I thought rodwell looked better as a CM tbh.

Sad news like. He should just give it up and be a pundit. In france.

This. It would be unfair to make a judgement based on 20mins against man u in a fast paced game after months out with knee and hamstring injuries. Both which would hamper your pace like. I think he showed mental sharpness for that chance straight off the bench and thats whats encouraging.

For a few years i seen spurs as our closest rivals for league position, now they've stepped up (it wont last long) i see everton as our main rivals for position in the league. Nothing to do with stature of the club, we are by far bigger and better, its just they are round about where we need to be aiming next two seasons.

You dont have the squad though thats the whole point of this argument isnt it? Not at the moment, but the whole point of what I just said was that given 2-3 quality players, we will be better than Everton. If we had the squad now, we'd be in 7th now, simples. But thats going on the logic that we wont also improve our team with 2-3 quality players, and that Bolton and Villa dont, which isn't realistic. If everyone else improves by 2-3 players you'll be no closer unless they are world class which obviously costs £20m+ per player Tiote and Ben arfa are world class and only cost a fraction of that figure.

Well we usually stuff Man City so thats not a fixture i'm concerned by, but yeah the other 2 will be tricky to say the least. Look i'm not trying to say Everton are the greatest team ever, i've already stated that we have underchieved this season, and i've said the Toon have done well. But its about setting realistic expectations. Finishing 7th just isn't particularly realistic, neither is continually expecting moyes to perform miracles on fuck all budget, but then i'm not saying he can. I wouldn't say Everton should be aiming to finish in the top 4 because its not a realistic expectation, and neither is Newcastle United finishing top 7 next year. Top 12? Now there's something thats achievable, maybe even top 10 if someone wanted to be ambitious, but I just don't get the thinking behind "buy one or two players and we'll be better than Everton, Villa, Bolton etc etc" because it's just not true, and pretty disrespectful to those other teams, who have built up their squads over several seasons and have earned the right to be considered amongst the top 8 or 9 teams in the league. We've built our squad up over several seasons too, its took dropping a league to reset the balance and to knit the squad together, also for some players to settle and come good. We WILL finish above your lot next season.

What a prick. Everton personified. We are a bigger club. Better club. Better fans. Better stadium. Better city. You's have done well and are having a decent season but 7th is the best you can EVER hope for. We however have been to the edge and back, and we are back stronger than before. I have no doubt in my mind that with a few quality signings in key areas we will not only tonk you's home and away next season but finish above you's too. Everton is a non entity of a club.

Scary thought. Im moving to africa then.

Iv met... Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louise Walsh when i was on the X Factor 4 years ago Sharon is quality. Ant and dec quite a few times. Pedro quite a few times. Alan hansen. Bellamy. Solano paid for my birthday meal at some restaraunt in town. Simpson, Guthrie, martins (was shaggin a lass i know) all in tuptup. Tiote in my dads new show Dyer in my dads old shop. Drank with scott brown and shaun maloney a few times when i lived in glasgow...lad i worked with was maloneys cousin. Theres quite a few more but cant think off the top of my head.

I had thought that like.

I reckon we will get more than 4 more points like. 3 wins and 2 losses.

This a secret game like?

There you go then. With a fully fit Ben Arfa and a few quality additions we will be better than villa, everton, sunderland and alike.

So we will have received a fee for him? Im confused. Why do it this way? Makes no sense.

How much do you think for? How much did we pay for him in the 1st place? 500k?

Do we know when our new home kit will be revealed?
