I was playing on the generalisation of 'bitter' given, particularly when there is in fact a lack of bitterness in the 3 mini-articles thus far, and some quite accurate assessments.

Check the comments again, delusional Geordie.

The Reds are always on the lookout for fine footballing talent, madras.

I'm in, Matt. Top work on getting this sorted.

Tomorrow in corny Everton bingo: Moyes really does get the best out of his players, doesn't he?

Tell him that Gosling and U-turned and signed for 5 years at Goodison then ask him again. Then he still wouldn't be able to beat a man. Average, basically. More regular football though can only be a good thing for him so from a footballing perspective it's a good move for him and in that sense I wish him the best of luck. On one hand you can laugh about the pretty incompetent nature from the club of relying on "his word" to sign the contract, but on the other many a fan will be pretty pissed off with someone who gave every indication he would be committed to signing it, and turning his back so readily on the club who gave him his break at a high level and gave so much time and effort to help with this serious injury. Stinks of agent persuasion. clubs fault no doubt, why would he trust the club again when they haven't give him a contract when they said he would! It is primarily the club's fault indeed, you can't conduct business based on verbal contracts. But as I say, he'll leave with a bad taste in peoples' mouths.

Steve Bruce teams are always the same- probably start the season well, then go on a nightmare run where they dont win between November and March and then finish relatively strongly. Most predictable manager around.

arnonel or the WC?

sorry dude, getting hot under the collar. when idiots make idiots comments i need to defend them. if we were talkig football, i would be the first to admit that the group stages were cagey, and that things took after that. I would be happy to have a football converstation. but for some idiot to say the atmosphere etc was shit gets me angry apologies for the tone, i wont bring it up again, you guys can carry on slagging us off Phew, that's a relief. It's been poor. Edit: though it has improved since the group stages.

Iwelumo's face has got to be made into a smiley.

As long as Sky say so.

Shite. I've missed most of the knockout games because of work.

Holland 0-1 Spain Villa in the 37th minute. Fact.

Interesting.

This pleases me.

Have a tenner on Stabaek, Haugesund and Rosenborg. Not looking that promising.

I can't believe that was actually news on SSN's little ticker. All hail Paul.

lol stay on? are you dreaming? Dreaming isn't the right word. Speculating. As I say, it's no great loss if he doesn't stay on. Edit: which it now seems he isn't. Ah well, least he got that goal.

Not sure what to think about Gosling, i.e. whether he's being a money-grabbing cunt (influenced by his agent) and turning his back rather swiftly on the club who has given him his break, or, good luck to the lad if it's on footballing grounds because he sure as hell won't get much of a chance here next season. Presuming our players stay relatively fit this time. Ridiculous stuff from the club either way. Edit: Mind, he agreed a contract with us, even if it was verbally. Him staying is still a possibility.

And it's Enrique Estebarantz! (sp?) Feeding off the playmaker himself, Bojan Djordjic.

Does that mean we have a goalie for each team?
