Louis

I didn't realise Hugh had moved to Chorley.

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

What are the chances he's the guy who was training with Everton earlier this season and not Tyrone Mears?

Don't forget Miami is the home to CONCACAF - North America's answer to UEFA.

I can name all of them, from 1996 to 2015. NASL and USL Pro too but I would get them mixed up. I couldn't really tell you many PDL teams or their conference names though. I'm not so good on the players, I think I'd only know half of the US MNT and the ex England-based players.

Everton drawn with Sunderland, Celtic and Villareal http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2014-15/oct/premier-league-international-cup-launched.html

I've heard he's merciless.

I haven't watched it yet but from the trailer Cobblepot isn't British which is good. That was the worst thing about the Arkham video game series. Would you say it's better than Birds of Prey? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds_of_Prey_(TV_series) (I never saw it)

I don't think the quote in the opening post or the Gary Neville button mushroom quotes are genuine.

Did that guy from the NASL play? I've forgotten his name.

Or he hasn't been able to catch one and that's why his gears are grinded.

Some choice extracts from Roy Keane's book: On Baines: On Aiden McGeady signing for Everton:

There are a few high profile international friendlies scheduled to happen in Beijing today, Brazil vs Argentina being among them. I've seen it said that they've been cancelled due to the poor quality air there. People can see barely see what's happening in front of them. http://www.china.org.cn/sports/2014-10/11/content_33731658.htm http://www.inquisitr.com/1532323/beijing-smog-hits-20-times-chinas-limit-threatens-brazil-vs-argentina-soccer-match/

It annoys me that they put QI up against MOTD.

I'm not having that. I looked as well!

There's a feature on it on BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04kzzgg/the-womens-football-show-2014-episode-7 9mins 30 seconds in Rachel Brown says it's partly down to Everton remaining semi-pro while other clubs are turning professional. The manager agrees and says that some players work 9-5 and turn up for training.

It'll happen naturally. People keep pointing out that one in three English players can be considered black or mixed race and overlooking that it'll be a decade or so before that generation of players is looking for coaching roles.

He's just been called up by Costa Rica for games against Oman and South Korea.

Even I'm coming around to replacing Tim Howard.

You should have wrapped it when you tapped it, Matt. Thanks Paddock, Romey and MarkJazzBassist.

The new Stars Wars series starts today.... I'll admit it, I'll check it out.

Friggin hell. Romey will shake his head in disbelief.

The graffiti artist "Banksy" apparently painted this on a wall: I've seen it described as 'anti-immigration'. I would have thought it was pro-immigration personally as the those birds with placards are common grey pigeons and the other bird is exotic and bright coloured. It's been removed by a local council because it was considered to contain an "offensive and racist remark"

Can I just give this thread a boost ?

It doesn't sound unreasonable Mike. Is it a local company or are you sending off your laptop? I've been saying that for years, Matt!
