Ivory Coast go out tonight, Tiote fly back tonight, Pardew collects him from the airport, Tiote has a raw steak for breakfast, Pardew names him against Villa. Sorted.

Maybe not.

The fix is on...

I'm in the same boat. I'll ring the box office on Monday and find out what the situation is.

Bingo. 11 years of great service thrown away because of the way he left. He's a snake.

They've had Champions League form for the last few months and they're still 9 points behind. 3 of their next 4 are away too. They do look good mind atm, unrecognisable from the shower of shite under Bruce but their form will dip eventually. They're only 4 points above WBA who are in 15th...

Got to laugh. This sport is fucking crackers. :lol:

Shola is completely finished as both a footballer and an 'athlete'. How shit does he have to play to be subbed? He couldn't even drop down the leagues and find his level. He's done.

An awful 1-1. Yakubu is still suspended, isn't he?

If the referee has seen that BAE tackle from last night then he should be being asked why he took no action in my opinion. If he didn't see it then fair enough, it's a tough job, but if he did see it then why was no action taken at the time and will he be demoted this weekend?

The prick he kicked is going to give evidence FOR Cabaye. Maybe....

What a gormless cunt Ryder is. Fuck me.

The extra the wanted is basically worth a single place in the league for prize money. If we need to play Perch for more than a handful of games then we'll slip. I can totally understand not being held to ransom over transfers. If a club is taking the piss and wanting far more money than the player is worth then we need to keep on walking away....But if we're talking a few hundred grand then we need to bite the bullet and pay. Had it been a few million on a big transfer then fair enough - this is (relative) peanuts. To be fair if the club really do have one (or two) of the players we've seen mentioned lined up to come in during the summer then I can understand the reluctance to not waste cash on a centre back now. It could effectively be £2 million down the drain if whoever we buy is immediately fourth or fifth choice in six months time. I do think it's daft the club have decided the loan market is a waste of time and money mind. Fair point Just hope not signing an CB doesn't cost us.

This.

I notice Natalie has gone for yellow.

Dead in the water imo. Just couldn't get it over the line etc.

11pm. Or Thursday if your name is Harry Redknapp.

I demand answers.

Boom. Nailed it.

Shouldn't have reacted at the end of the day. Was petulant but can't complain too much. It's the inconsistency of the FA that's the frustrating thing. You can smash someone in the face with your elbow or try to gouge someone's eye and nothing happens. It's a lottery and needs to be addressed.

No news is good news I suppose... Next game is on Wednesday so you'd have thought that they would have charged him by now if they were going to?

Good. Reassuring to know this particular cunt will never play for us again.

So true. Bar one summer when they got mad at us for signing the players they wanted (Parker, Emre) I've never really experienced any problems with Everton fans. They're always decent enough. Had an Everton player been found guilty of the stuff Suarez has then we'd have seen and heard none of the nonsense we've had to put up with from Dalglish and LFC. It would have been dealt with completely differently by Moyes and EFC. There would have been no t-shirts, no criticism of Evra, no claims of an FA conspiracy, no claims of the word being acceptable in Uruguay, no language experts needed, fucking none of that shite. He'd have apologised, taken the rap and moved on. Completely different kettle of fish despite sharing a city.

Yes, Ben Arfa. As I'll say again. Very hypocritical of him to do it to Ben Arfa but Shola gets away scot free. Staggering decision to even start him, let alone reward him with the captaincy, after his previous 2 appearances. Don't understand it as we had several better options than play him. Sends out entirely the wrong message.
