So, just because there aren't too many strikers that came from Ligue 1 and had success in the Premier League in recent times, you're just gonna assume anyone who come from there is gonna ultimately fail too? Good generalization there. And Drogba helped Marseille to a UEFA Cup/Europa League triumph? The only European trophy Marseille have won in recent years is the Intertoto Cup and that was in 2005 after he had already joined us! Ever thought maybe the supposed low price for Remy is because of the contract length he has left with Marseille? Kalou is already 27 and Remy is only 25.

Take it with a pinch of salt. He already said in the summer he won't be leaving Roma and if he does, he will make it public himself. And besides, the media are just gonna throw our name in almost every time when a player is rumoured to be available.

Ooops! Didn't realize the goals were already posted!

Only probable reason that Mata isn't getting the attention is because he's playing for 'Chelsea FC' and we all know what the media thinks of us. Had he been playing for Arsenal, Man United, Man City, Spurs or heck even Liverpool, they will be talking non-stop about Mata right now. I mean really, the wankfest over Cazorla is just ridiculous. It's like they have never seen a player of his ilk before in England. Bet those media in Spain must be laughing at the idiocy of the English media.

Everton's one and only win at the Bridge in the Premier League came in November 1994, where they won 1-0.

Did you agree with Daniel Levy's decision to remove Harry Redknapp from his position and replace him with AVB? Why?

That's less than 50%! We should be doing better than that. However, think our record at Villa Park in the league is even worse!! EDIT: Oh wait, they are the same actually. Confused with the fact that we have only won there twice in the last 12-13 visits! Only 7 wins each at Villa Park and Goodison in the Premier League then.

Oops. That 3-1 win at Goodison is the only time we have won by more than 1 goal in the league. All the other 6 wins have been 1 goal margin(1-0, 2-1, 1-0, 1-0, 3-2 & 1-0). All in all, only 7 wins from 20 matches at Goodison in the Premier League.

At the Bridge mostly. Our record at Goodison is pretty poor in the PL. Last league win there was back in 2008 IIRC when an Essien goal secured a 1-0 win under Grant! We don't always win there and even if we do, it has always been a 1 goal margin win. 3-1. One of the very few best results under him as he ended our poor run of draws against you lot at home!

A young Hutchinson, who was a ball boy back then, celebrates after Gudjohnsen scores his goal.

Think you just said it there. Kalou is an average player. He has never been a consistent player in his time here. Capable of having the odd good games here and there but never consistent. On the other hand, he does always give 100% on the pitch, which is something you can't really fault him for.

Not sure where to post this. So, think I'll just throw it in here.

Dear oh dear. First Cole and now Bertrand.

http://www.football-espana.net/24890/milan-travel-guardiola-talks Plenty of rumours going about that Milan are aiming to get Guardiola to replace Allegri.

Seems like it. RDM said he took off Lampard then because there was a slight problem with his knee. http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2941331/title/final-whistle-verdict-in-fine-form

Picked up a knee injury it seems and he may be back for England when they face Poland next Tuesday. http://www.thefa.com/England/News/2012/squad-update-san-marino-lampard

They don't have a choice, do they? It was said in the press conference yesterday. Doubt the media will bother much about it anyway as they will just continue with their agenda on Terry.

One was in extra time though.

The English media must be pissed alright listening to Rooney and Hart saying such nice things about Terry.

That's a pretty poor article IMO, which is somewhat disappointing considering it was written by Graham Hunter. The title of the article is talking about Del Bosque's strange decision to not pick Mata but yet in the article itself, Hunter only talked about Mata a little bit. Otherwise, he just went on and talk about Spain NT squad and upcoming matches in general. Hardly told us anything new about Mata wasn't picked. The focus should have been more on him in the article.

Maybe but even without Fellaini in top form, Everton have still managed to cause us plenty of problems and beat us in the past.

Yes. Crooks seems to have an obsession with Evra. He tends to feature him a lot in his TOTW even when his form was absolutely dire.

Hart on Terry. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/joe-hart-hails-john-terry-as-englands-lionheart-8205425.html
