1878

I'm not joking here but I was told yesterday that Souness is the new City manager. I've had a bet at 15/1

Everton's best days were the 80's. It's not even debatable.

You've got David bloody Seaman but no Southall? Or Schmicheal for that matter. Seaman isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breath. And Jimmy Greaves but no Dixie Dean? Sort it out. I assume you're Bulgarian btw.

Dimitar Berbatov - Spurs Thierry Henry - Barca Samuel Eto'o - Milan David Villa - Valencia Javier Saviola - Sevilla Fernando Torres - Atletico Jan Klaas Huntelaar - Juventus Carlos Tevez - Real Madrid Nicolas Anelka - Newcastle Djibril Cisse - Marseille Louis Saha - Lyon Alan Smith - Man Utd Diego Forlan - Villareal Craig Bellamy - West Ham Darren Bent - Spurs Jermaine Defoe - Portsmouth Yakubu - Boro David Nugent - Sunderland Benni McCarthy - Blackburn Obafemi Martins - Newcastle Michael Owen - Man Utd

You don't need Dean Ashton, you've just got Viduka to do the same job If you could sell Martins for a similar price to what Darren Bent would cost then you should do it in a flash. Or even Anelka who would be cheaper.

Huyton tbh.

I'd forgotten about that Didn't Diouf also claim Legal Aid?

Driving round Liverpool in an uninsured Range Rover. Got towed while he was shopping. Front page of the Echo.

He is finished. If you've actually watched him in the past two seasons then you'd know that he's worse than all of your current first team wingers and very injury prone.

I think the new Derby badge is better. The scroll underneath the ram always looked wank imo.

Why not? Ben Haim and Taylor cover wide positions. Ben Haim is shit at full back, only good at centre back. Fair point on Taylor.

Aren't you supposed to be signing Rosenhal? Can't see you getting him AND Ben Haim AND Cacapa

Van Persie's was shinned in. Lucky. If someone like Rooney or Henry had scored McFadden's goal it would have walked this award. Also surprised there was no Drogba in the vote (v Liverpool at home & Everton away) or Matt Taylor's one from virtually 45 yards

Not see Joe Cole this evening then? Not really, no. The only part I watched fully was the last 30mins. Cole did look crap from what I saw though.

I've never seen a player run down as many blind alleys and not have any idea of what he actually wants to do with the ball as Kieran Dyer. I mean, ffs. Look up sometimes.

It's probably something to do with him being a better footballer Mad theory like but I reckon that's what it could be.

Yeah. £67,850 pa doesn't sound bad to me. He'd just have to use it wisely so that he has enough to live comfortably when he retires at 36 or whatever. Still, it shows the gap when there are dozens of players in the Premiership who earn more in a week than a League One player does in a year. Good salary for your average man on the street, but no way is that enough to retire on at 36, tbh. 67k pa is 3.7k net a month. That's not stratospheric by any stretch of the imagination. I know but I'm presuming he's earned a fair bit more than that in the past when he was at Cardiff. And as I said, he will have had to invest it wisely from day one. If he owns property dating back a few years then he's sorted.

It's doing the rounds here. "Spotted at Melwood" etc etc

Yeah, interesting to see what it's like for lower league players in his position. The Port Vale boss sounds like a right wanker.

He's shite. It's astonishing that he was bought by a club like Man Utd when he's not even good enough for top 10 teams.

West Ham now willing to pay up to £20m for Johnson according to the Independent :lol: I'd take that in a flash. It's double his value.

I think it's a disgrace they are wearing their rivals colours I can't believe there isn't more fuss tbh. Never in a million years would Everton have a red away kit. One year, the club had season tickets done in different colours according to what area of the ground you sat in. One of these colours was maroon, in reality it looked more like brown than red but there was outrage. It made the front page of the local paper and the club had to send out new season ticket books in a different colour. No doubt the idea for white shirts was thought up by the marketing men who have never watched a game of football in their lives

Again, James fucking Vaughan. Dominated Carvalho in the air but apparently he's not good enough to play against Slovak no hopers. Matt Derbyshire is on the pitch for gods sake. He is garbage.

James Vaughan has physical prescence and a phenomenal work rate. Scored 3 in 5 starts when he came back from injury at the end of the season, he's going to be a top class player. It's a joke he hasn't got a start in this match. Can't believe the FA gave Pearce a job.
