Well not these last 30 years or so anyway; When they had the benefits of Vernon's Pools money agogo and bought players just to keep them off the market, had no catholics playing for them etc things were different. When football was about your local lads against other local lads Everton were successful from time to time.

It's called paranoia DD.

I strongly suspect that we'll be nearer to none of them than all three.

I don't doubt that some of it at least comes from overexpectant illusions fuelled by excessive amounts of fantasy football.

[quote=Saint Billy;2375826 I would have gone all out to get a up and coming manager ala Frank De Boer or similar. . Ah yes Frank de Boer... Tell me, has he actually got a job somewhere, I see him as a favourite for a lot of jobs but actually getting one of them seems to be a bit more complex. Perhaps he's too demanding in conditions of employment or something.

He's probably a big coefficient player on fantasy football.

Can McQueen actually play at left wing back ?

Summer isn't over yet though is it. We'll see where we stand at the start of the season and two weeks beyond.

Arsenal are always looking but very rarely actually doing.

Well I'm not an expert on middle eastern affairs but I'd really doubt that Saudi and Iran both support Assad because they're arch enemies, two ends of a spectrum. I know that Iran supports Assad so I'd doubt that Saudi does as well.

So it looks like we're going for the treble this season then. Out of the 2 one day competitions at the group or round robin stage and relegation...Yay, go Hampshire.

Although it would seem to me that a few "top targets" don't seem particularly interested in joining the rigourous affray of English football.

Ah right, I am not a connaisseur of 19th century dugout technology.

But wasn't the late signing of VVD something to do with Celtic's CL campaign, we had to wait until it was over to get our target. Perhaps we're targetting CL minnows again this season, perhaps we're signing someone from Lincoln Red Imps at this very moment. In fact if Valère Germain is a serious prospect, and I'd certainly hope that not to be the case, perhaps we have to wait and see what happens in the Monaco-Fenebahce tie.

Wasn't he a loanee ? perhaps we just couldn't afford him.

Why would top players be interested in Everton...seriously. I mean if they bought a whole team of really good players then they might have a chance of doing something but if Stekelenburg is to be their number 1 keeper then it shows their level really.

Looks like another defeat again today, solid start, lost a couple of wickets, some quick runs from Wheater, Ervine and Dawson but they all went pretty quickly, 2 of them caught by the same bloke, off the same bowler in the same over. Does that mean they both played the same risky or unmastered shot? Anyway at 171/6 off 37 overs we'll do well to bat out our 50 and at least give the bowlers something to bowl at.

plenty of them still seem to be knocking up young women though, à la Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood.

What's the Southampton Marathon route going to be then? Is it as before? Oh the joys of Burgess Road after 20 odd miles. So mid/end of April'ish, they might persaude me to take up the halter again actually.

Why on earth would we any Ayews honestly. they're not really anything very special and will be off to the ACON with Ghana in a while. They're average footballers and we don't need any more of those. Their dad was a great player but they're both pretty meh..

then again there's Islam and Islam. As far as I can comprehend these Salafist people not only want to live their own lives as did the original followers of Mohammed in the year 500 Ad or so but they want all the rest of the world to do so as well. I may be wrong there though and that all they really want is a place of their own (you know like Israel or an Amish community) where they can do as they wish and not trouble the world any further with their backward ways. Should that really be the case I'm all for it, get all these burkkad women off our streets and off of our social security bill.

Pfff Local leagues, I got a yellow card in a game I wasn't even on the pitch, our star striker was on a suspension and when about to be cautioned yet again he gave my name and not his. Ref was about 12 and just noted it down anyway.

Wave the chequebook? In our case it's more like rattling the loose change jar..

Hollande and his crew have the nickname "Les Bisounours" which is what the French call the Care Bears.
