  1. It's nothing to do with viruses. It's how much you've downloaded and uploaded to the internet
  2. You aint seen nothing yet Ian!! We'll find out tomorrrow the size of the spanner Liverpool Council will be throwing into the works.
  3. The best live performance ever?
  4. My favourite South African name is Naughty Mokoena, he lives up to his name! Often sent off.
  5. Is that what they do at Peugeot SteveO
  6. Update - Liverpool City Council will be objecting. The journalist didn't read the whole report and came to his own (wrong) conclusions.
  7. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverp...64375-21007618/
  8. http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/0400eve...-name_page.html Personally, I don't think the article is accurate as Bradley and Anderson have both said LCC will be objecting to it and the only quote is from Everton's PR department and he says "if". The decision will be made on Wednesday.
  9. To be honest, I prefer England playing opposition like T&T away, it's something different rather than the same countries all the time.
  10. First international cap today in a 2-0 victory of South Africa. Pienaar, Yobo and Yak also played.. It was on SKY (channel 198) but the cameraman managed to miss both goals !
  11. I was interested if not a little concerned to read that Everton spent 75% of their turnover in the 2006/2007 season on wages (‘wages ‘also covers agent fees). The club were left with a deficit of £8.1million that season despite finishing 6th in the league; also our total wages paid (£38,427,000) was below the average in the Premier League (£48,450,000) and 9th highest in the league. We were well and truly punching above our weight as all the ‘top four’ teams had a wage bill more than double ours whilst Spurs ‘ and Villa’s bill was £5million greater. According to football finance expert and Evertonian Prof. Chris Brady “If you can keep your expenditure on salaries below around 55 per cent of your revenue, you are going to be viable.” Going by that logic, Everton needed to increase revenue by £10,247,200 in 2006/2007 to be a viable business. That is quite simply shocking and to me confirms more than anything how David Moyes is carrying the club as without him and the prize money his team earned we would have been struggling even more so. If Everton’s wage bill was 55% of revenue then Everton would have been the fourth lowest paying club in the premier league that season. When you take into account that Everton had the 7th highest average attendance in the country that year, all signs are pointing to Everton’s need to develop a way of gaining revenue from outside of Football. Here’s a table showing Wages/turnover ratios of Premier League and Championship clubs in 2006-07: Team Name % of turnover used for wages Tottenham 42 Man United 44 Arsenal 50 Sheffield Wednesday 51 Sheffield United 57 Liverpool 58 Watford 58 Reading 59 Bolton Wanderers 60 Norwich City 60 Premier League Average 63 Manchester City 64 Plymouth Argyle 65 Southampton 65 Ipswich Town 68 Chelsea 70 Newcastle United 72 Leicester City 73 Wolves 73 West Bromwich Albion 73 Everton 75 West Ham United 76 Hull City 77 Championship Average 79 Middlesbrough 80 Aston Villa 82 Birmingham City 85 Blackburn Rovers 85 Stoke City 88 Fulham 89 Portsmouth 90 Cardiff City 90 Sunderland 90 Queens Park Rangers 94 Charlton Athletic 95 Preston North End 97 Wigan Athletic 100 Coventry City 101 Burnley 102 Derby County 125 And another showing the amount in wages spent by Premier league clubs from 2006/2007: Chelsea 132,817,000 Man United 92,310,000 Arsenal 89,703,000 Liverpool 77,589,000 Newcastle 62,475,000 Premier League Average 48,450,000 West Ham 44,160,000 Tottenham 43,804,000 Aston Villa 43,194,000 Everton 38,427,000 Middlesboro 38,270,000 Portsmouth 36,888,000 Blackburn 36,712,000 Man City 36,381,000 Fulham 35,169,000 Charlton 34,297,000 Bolton 30,715,000 Reading 29,815,000 Wigan 27,480,000 Sheffield United 22,421,000 Watford 17,636,000 Some reports also say that the club was below the league average for stadium utilisation last season. I do not find this surprising and have often wondered why the Everton reserves can not also play at Goodison Park. I believe that introducing a new pitch surface technology would allow for first team games and reserve games to be played) with little or no problems, the cost of installing the pitch would no doubt be cheaper than paying to use the Halton Stadium. This is not as far fetched as you may think and there are many examples of a multi-use-stadium in the United Kingdom. • Wigan Athletics’ JJB Sports stadium also host Wigan Warriors Rugby team games • Hull City’s KC Stadium is also home to Hull FC of the Rugby Super League • Doncaster Rovers Keepmoat Stadium is also home Doncaster Rugby League Club and the ladies football team Doncaster Belles. Doncaster boasts that their pitch uses “an innovative mix of synthetic fibres and natural grass”. I never thought I’d be suggesting Everton follow Doncaster’s example. Whilst most Evertonians are proud that Goodison Park was the first football-specific stadium, the club really should be looking to redevelop it into a multi use stadium to help increase revenue.
  12. There were 3,087 who answered that question and the survey was publicised on most Everton sites to allow Evertonians to participate on the survey. I don't understand the question "was it as independant as the Everton one?", how do you define independent ?
  13. I read that James Hall went over to the Phillippines for a trial on pinoysoccer.com, I had presumed he'd gotten over his knee injury.
  14. Apparently MLS clubs are solidifying their exhibition schedules for mid-summer. Everton will visit Chicago on July 30 at Toyota Park in Chicago
  15. With hindsight do you feel you have been provided with accurate information on the proposed relocation to Kirkby? Yes 629 20.38% No 1,547 50.11% I was not eligible to vote 911 29.51% That is quite shocking to be fair.
  16. He's a bit late with the news to be fair.. We've known for months ! Interesting that the way Goodison Park could be redeveloped isn't the way he was "hoping".
  17. He's half Greek too, apparently he turned down Marseille and Liverpool.. so he's more than welcome here
  18. Very unfair that Bill - it's a genuince mistake, the scores are still in the database so with a bit of work your trophies can be restored but for some reason the games diseappeared off the server after the upgrade because the arcade said that they wern't compatible.. have a look for yourself in the admin section to see how it's changed. I'll be putting more games on tonight
  19. I think I know the one your speaking of and it was a fan design, as far as I know Peter Johnson wanted to relocate to Kirkby Golf Course.
