I agree, Bridge went backwards after signing for Chelsea.

Apparently the turnover record has been beaten again and the new turnover is £80million.. It must include the Kitbag contract which is for 10 years?

Elstone: "Everton Chile were considered as opposition for pre-season but the most important thing is the quality of the opposition and the decision was made on footballing grounds." Is he saying they're not good enough to play at pre-season?

Nigerian players taking part in the Under-17 World Cup will be subjected to MRI bone scans to determine their ages. Accusations of age cheating have blighted Nigeria's success at international age group tournaments in recent years. But Sani Lulu Abdullahi, president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), is confident the MRI test will bring to an end such accusations. "We will use the MRI bone confirmation tests introduced by Fifa," Lulu told BBC Sport on Tuesday. "This is important as we want to be sure that we do it correctly and that players who represent Nigeria at underage competitions are actually the ages they claim to be." Nigeria have won the Fifa Under-17 World Cup three times - 1985, 1993 and 2007 - but fans and media alike have long questioned the ages of some of the player representing the country. The Golden Eaglets, as Nigeria's under-17 team is known, will be playing in their own backyard in October as they this year's World Cup. Lulu insists the present squad under John Obuh will be the first set of Eaglets to undergo MRI scans.

Is he going to be playing in the Milk Cup next month? Know anywhere I can buy a Milk Cup programme online? Only £6 in the shops but I can't find anywhere I can buy it online (may be worth something in the future!)

Cork City FC wish to confirm that the case under the Companies Act at the High Court today has been adjourned for two weeks. The club has made determined efforts in the past ten days to reach a settlement with Revenue, but to date has been unable to agree a settlement. Cork City will continue its attempts to resolve the issue fully over the coming fortnight. At this time it is imperative that our loyal supporters and the people of Cork get behind the club, as this support will be crucial to the future of the club and League of Ireland football in Cork. Cork City’s upcoming friendly match against Ipswich Town on Sunday, July 19th will offer the club the opportunity to raise much needed funds, and we urge the people of Cork to support the club by attending the match. http://www.corkcity.ie

It's down because they are changing it to be more like this board.

Hassan Yebda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan_Yebda I think he has just opted to play for Algeria because of the new FIFA rules he is eligible.

He should be back soon - he had a Knee Op (patella tendon).

Currently on a free... would you take him to boost numbers?

It'll be back soon

I think it was just a rumour and he was never actually a guest? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/everton/3109023/Everton-deny-Anil-Ambani-takeover-talks-Football.html

I think at most he is 3 years old than he says he is. He started his career when he was 14 otherwise.

"Muppet" Yeah, he was released about a fortnight ago.

I am relaxed about the link with Everton and am focusing on preparing myself for hopefully an injury-free season. "Everton is a great club, and maybe one day I will play for them. From Sky Sports
