Seriously like, it's pretty obvious we're waiting to find out whether or not we're in Yurop this season before making any more moves. Don't know about you lot, but it's pretty damn obvious to me

It's not irrational, the man's a c*** frankly. The confection made by caramelizing sugar or molasses is speaking the truth

Not sure where to put this, but I thought I saw Abidal (think it was him) bitch slap Mascherano after Barca's defeat to Sampdoria in that friendly last night. Anyone see this or know what happened?

I still think we are waiting to see the outcome of (at least) the first leg of our EL qualifier, before shelling out on new recruits.

Tucks his shirt in too. Superb attitude

Much rather this than instructing him to stop shooting. He packs tremendous power in his shots, so why not take a punt every now and then? I'd be looking to work with him on timing his shots rather than shirking responsibility to shoot when in a good position to do so.

fuck me

Osman has developed into a brilliant midfielder

Howay man, they're losing this 3-2

absolutely pissing it this guy. Just like Shaq in his prime

Evra is a bit shit these days

Fuck me Fellaini is pissing this

Triffik game of football. Everton needed a goal that their domination deserved. Can't see Man Utd coming out second half flat and lethargic. They'll be right up for it, so Everton better keep up that tempo.

..and get rid of the smile while you're doing it. he didn't murder a puppy with his bare hands man I'm not sure why you've reacted like that. It was very clear in the interviews on Saturday that, he was seeing the funny side of the situation as well. There is a funny side, but it's best not to present it to the Panel, that's all. He seems to be a guy who is used to charming his way out of situations. It won't work with all of the people all of the time. I understand what you're saying. But the fact that he apologized in private and in public immediately shows that he knows well the seriousness of his actions. I personally see nothing wrong in the way he has conducted himself in the aftermath, and imo it's nice to see a manager who can see the funny side of things. It's a sport with very high stakes and emotions are so charged so often that people tend to forget that there are more important things in life.

Good for Harper to play, what if Krul gets sent off or injured in one of our next few games? We need Harper to step in, he's not as good as he was and needs to stay sharp so a game will do him good. I'd play Krul on Thursday and give Harper a game in the 2nd leg. think we might line up something like this, obviously depending on Shola's fitness and Marveaux not in the doghouse.

We are discussing how Simpson is worse than Hitler, and that Hitler was actually a nice fella who invented all kinds of stuff with his nice mates. Alrighty then carry on

dafuq is this shit?

How dare you criticise comments from Keegan? He never talks bollocks. He's a club legend! Are you a mackem?

Made an absolutely vital block on Defoe? Deflecting the shot out wide in the last few minutes. Sometimes you don't get down to this level of detailed marking so quick after coming on as a sub in a tight game. Must have done his homework from the bench which is always encouraging.

Pure love in motion when he;s in full flight

I love this board Great goal by the big fella. Demba's scored 1 in Ramadan, just. He just can't get enough!

He was a real man out there today, along with Ben Arfa. You could see he's come back into pre-season determined not to be dropped for any new recruits. The purchase of Anita could see a marked improvement in technical performance to go along with his usual work ethic, from Jonas. Was really delighted to see him fight for the shirt like a man possessed. Top class player.
