FOOTBALL, BANTER as we like it. and THE GAP

[grassroots]

A friend of the family is a member there, although he's not invited me yet.

It was the Home Builders Federation Annual Golf Day, the company that I work for enter a team of four every year and one of the team had to drop out and I got a last minute call up. I didn't have to think about it for too long
If you ever get the opportunity to play there, take it, fantastic clubhouse and facilities and superb courses, don't park in the extra large space outside the entrance or you'll upset a certain Mr Poulter.

Really Ian lives next door . Bet you enjoyed the experience .

Oh , dear cortinho reported to have been in tears after his move to
Barcelona never happened . Maybe now he'll do the job he is well paid for , and honour the contract he's tied into .

I think you'll find John that, any such league would be made up of those clubs financially able to compete. As the 9th richest club in the world Liverpool would certainly feature ahead of, all the Italian clubs, Zenith, Schalke and 2 or three of those from Spain. Interestingly (or disappointingly) Everton doesn't feature in the top 20 of wealthy clubs but, Newcastle United does!!

Nick...........You are right Everton falls short

surprising Leicester and West Ham are in the top 20.

I don't know where your list comes from but apart from the fact it appears to be upside down, Leicester and West Ham are nowhere near the top 20.

Google?? Try the Forbes Rich List. The only way Everton could feature is if they auctioned the contents of their trophy cabinet. Oh!! But wait a minute, they haven't got one........dammit!!

Tough games for both Liverpool and Neverton this W/E.

Yep, we've got United up next after Spurs then "hopefully" we can perhaps go on a bit of a run, certainly a tough start, City, Chelsea, Spurs and Utd i(3 of them away) in the first 5 games.

We played well at City and in the end a point felt like 2 points lost, I fancy plenty of goals today, 2 good attacking teams, with vulnerable defences.

What's going on with PC, not involved today and not in the CL squad, Clipity saying he's not match fit ? Last week he was deemed fit enough to play and score for Brazil. Is there a rift in the camp ?

Jurgen said in his press conference that there wasn't a problem and that the players attitude was good , time will tell ! I personally think they'll take the cash eventually.

I think all managers have to put a positive spin on things and tell the odd "porky" to appease the fans and shareholders but they can (and do) look stupid at times.

I'd be very surprised if he wasn't "Match fit" after all he was deemed to be fit enough to play for his country last week.

If Barcca still want him I think he will go in the next window, I think he's made his position very clear, as I've said elsewhere "the badge on the front is bigger than the name on the back"

Like we did with Rom, get as much as you can for him (yes we will miss his goals) spend wisely strengthen the squad and move on.

No good keeping a player that would rather be somewhere else it could cause problems in the dressing room.

Both our senior clubs losing ,watched the City /Liverpool game , defo a red card , after that only one winner.
This Liverpool side needs to start defending from the front , it alright pointing a finger at defenders but they have to start defending on the halfway line . Too many crossed coming into the 18yrd box .

[Steed]

Not a good day at the office for either side, nothing malicious in Mane's challenge but I thought the ref gave himself a bit of thinking time and got it right, hope the City keeper is ok, it looked a bad one.

I was expecting a tough game v Spurs today, but just like the Chelsea game, Everton didn't turn up, but for Pickford it could have been even more embarrassing.

What in your opinion is the problem with Everton Steed ?
