fuck me man! The pubs haven't even opened yet!

the summer took a while to get going, and I must admit there were times I was heading for the pile of doom-mongers, however now I reckon we're beginning to move, and I reckon after we announce Coloccini, another 2 at least will follow. The foundations for a team capable of challenging the top 6 are there, we all know it, even the bastardised media know it, it just needs tweaking a little bit. I'd like to think that come 3.55pm on Sunday 17th August, EVERYONE on this board is fully behind KK and the lads regardless.

are sports journalists throughout the world this bad for making up absolute shite or is it just here?

Coubury, where did that piece of epic prose come from? I was going to say it was Wheyse Keyse Louise having one big final pop, but I think she'd like to kid herself into thinking she's more intelligent than not to use the headline "Toon In Chaos"...

oh for fucks sake!

perhaps keeping Smith is actually an idea by Keegan to be part of a motivational method. The usually-solid Habib Beye is suffering a dodgy patch, and his confidence is beginning to disappear. KK pulls him to one side and says "Habib, its fine, just have faith in your own ability, you're a quality player. I know it and you know it. Don't drag yourself down or you'll end up like this lad..." *points to Smith snarling and chasing a crisp packet blowing across the training ground (dropped by Viduka)*

Is that right? Why no quotes then? if they can make up quotes, so can I.

an ITK mate reckons its been delayed 'cos he can't get here for his medical due to the Metro service being suspended between Benton and Shiremoor due to work on a disused mineshaft.

right, dunno whether to put this in the media hating Newcastle thread, or in here. Anyway the Mail (sadly not Steve [i ate too many] Curry(/ies) ) have decided to turn the possible departure of this lump of shit into another "Keegan and Ashley dispute" Apparantly Ashley wants aforementioned lump of shit off the wage bill, whereas for whatever strange reason, Keegan wants to keep said lump of shit. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1042736/Keegan-Ashley-row-Everton-Smith.html

"Fabrizio (oh) Came here from Deportivo-ooooh Hairs a bit like an afro, It's indestructable, Always believeeeee innnn Fabrizio (oh" done. That and itzy bitzy.

always believe in, fabritz ee oh, oh his hair's a bit like an afro oh or something. Cba to work on it. I'll leave someone else with that task.

hahahaha fool.

I don't want Faye to leave, I'd like to see a centre half pairing of him and Coloccini. Not entirely sure how fast Coloccini is, but with those 2 at the back there should be no messing, plenty of strength.

fingers crossed. Not going to say any more in case of jinxing.

think everyone has covered mine, but I'll also add Don Hutchison. Gateshead-born, yet kissed the mackem badge after scoring against us. Gateshead-born, yet played for Scotland and got the goal in the last match between us and them at the old Wembley. Arsehole.

I'm gutted, I can't find the bit where he was waxing lyrical on "Just Call Me Bobby" about the pine doors at SJP on Youtube. Was going to post it.

no fucking way! Absolute legend, loved the guy to bits. Will be greatly missed throughout the football world

a lie, surely?

nowt much on his wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herita_Ilunga

£3m in the Mirror too. Pleaseeeeeee be true! http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2008/08/06/everton-are-chasing-cut-price-deal-for-newcastle-misfit-alan-smith-115875-20685966/

similar to http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/images/thumb_medium/Chelsea-98-Away.jpg which could well be kicking about in one of my drawers somewhere. :-[ Bought on the cheap 'cos we needed matching tops for our 5-a-side league.

yes, because the cost of keeping Smith and Shola outweighs what they give us in return, but obviously if we're looking to sign replacements rather than play the kids, there can't be any pissing about with fee's.

How I laughed when you were on here moaning when it looked like you were going to sign him last Summer. mackems.gif And then we signed him. Hopefully this summer you laugh because it looks like we'll sign him... then he stays on your wage bill for another year. we'll be doing everything but laughing! Do you post as Dom1878 on the "GrandOldTeam" forum by the way? Nope, never posted on there mate. I'm on a private one. ahh right, just wondered, toffeeweb link in the other clubs' forums thread didn't work, so I just googled "Everton forum" instead. He actually made a sensible point, thats all, not just the typical "all players that go to the barcodes turn out shit". Thought it might have been you.

from the beeb... serves them right, really.
