Both teams really fatigued.

Nice! Goooooooal.

Looked like she slipped more or less. I can see the non-call.

Decent finish though too.

I am pretty fired up. I scored a ticket to a game you guys would think is the most unimportant game of all time. Everton-Minnesota United which is being played 6 blocks from my house. The reason I am excited is I have never seen a premier league team play live despite my interest. I know, why start at the bottom of the barrel. I told the wife I'm going to wear my Newcastle shirt. She said "Why not the home team shirt you have?" Well, because I care way more about the Premier League and I may piss off a few Everton fans if there are any. Game is two days from now.

I thought it was 5-1

Just tuned in and Bruno puts one away.

There has to be a rolling three year budget based on FFP. You'd have to be Everton to not have one. The thing is, the hits to the budget are amortized and across several years in many cases, as are the fluctuation of income from sponsorships and outgoing player sales. It's not set per year per se, at least that would make zero sense. It's a moving target based on these factors so yes, there is a limit but why would they say "We will only spend 50M this transfer period" when it's rolling.

The Tifo video after the takeover basically said with the right sponsorships and Ashley pocketing most of the cash it's possible to spend like 800M over the next few years but those big sponsorships haven't come yet so the budget isn't unlimited because as you point out there are the next few years to also consider and new sponsorships are coming likely but how much exactly isn't known yet.

Depends on how diplomatic Howe can be. One hypothetical is "You aren't likely to be first choice, I'm going to name Kieran Captain and you Vice Captain."

Exactly that.

You guys are killing me....

I may buy one. I have last years Away shirt and a 2009 home shirt.

That isn't a formality so I doubt it. Friday new financial year does make perfect sense.

Might indeed just be work permit and then it's done and dusted.

They wouldn't have a picture on the front page of the official website with him holding a NUFC shirt if it was at all in doubt.

Much better!

Surprised it's dead quiet though. Two day medical isn't top secret information. Hopefully nothing big.

Twitter has been really quiet today too.

Thing is, it's normally bad to blindly trust people but Eddie seems to have this under control. Your theory might be right and he has my support as he's earned it. Not that he would ever give a shit what I think.

Might be right, nothing else makes sense to me at least.

Great real song by the way.

If they make any kind of cup run, you need some depth and that should be the goal, right?

Fraser will live up to wee man against Pope and Burn.

Even better, Pope.
