Too fucking lazy to think up new designs Nah. Whilst i do like retro kits (when they're done well), the motives behind it are... "ooo, people will like this - it's sentimental and people buy that." See Arsenal's red currant strip back in 04/05. Aye, but that was nice.

Was wondering about this myself. Part of me thinks that he could really pull the strings in midfield alongside the likes Gerrard, but it's partly down to how Capello wants to play.

Really? I would've thought we'd just once again shot ourselves in our collective fucking foot.

Because they're blatantly the only 3 players who want to stay.

Like I said, we can't really learn anything from tonight's match. FWIW, I think Gerrard is the key.

It was between the two of them, I think, and you can't overlook Johnson who put in some great, intelligent balls.

Not sure about Beckham. Against decent opposition he'll never get the time on the ball he got today. The match today was like a wet dream for him. And his delivery from corners was pap, btw. But I did enjoy watching him stroke the ball around: particularly one cross-field ball he played first time, without looking, that was inch-perfect. Lovely.

3 assists and played the crucial through-ball for the second, too. Great performance regardless of team.

Same. Not going to write him off, but aye, played like a pretty generic winger, without the end product. And just think: this is how he is now, and Sven took him to the fucking World Cup five years ago! The mad bastard. WC04? Was that the one in Portugal? Oh, piss off, you tit. I was looking at the number of fingers on my hand while I was writing.

Are you on massive quantities of heroin? No are you? You put that team out against a competent side and they'd get beat Croatia last year at Wembley? You want to see how to destroy a team look at Germany spanking San Marino by 13. I'm refering to the comments made about Johnson, Young and Defoe. Just... wrong.

Two people have picked Shola? What?

Kind of a crap match to watch somehow. Johnson looked good, but who can tell really against this opposition? Wasn't impressed by Walcott at all. Proper headless chicken.

Impossible to really learn anything from this match other than ITV are a bunch of classless, condescending twats.

This really IS too good to be true. Sorry, they're saying that they're in negotations to buy the club... but the owner doesn't know anything about it?

I think ultimately they were shafted because they wanted PL football that they simply couldn't afford because, well, Sky have a lot more money than them.

But the valuation was made on the back of an obviously suscessful business model.

By fucking who?

That Chron article sounds too good to be true. I can't stand the hope. :'(

Hot fuck, that Everton shirt is unbelievable. I don't understand how these things get produced. Isn't there anyone in a position of some authority with the wit to just say, "No. Fuck off, that looks totally shit"?

"Even Hitler". Makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

Does this mean the new Goodison will be called the Tesco Arena or some such shit?

Well, you would say that, wouldn't you, Steve?

This thead.
