It's been entertaining though. Yeovil Town sent him a (virtual) cake.

:shaking fist:

I've just made a new post about Martinez - I think it causes problems further down the line if a thread is about two players and we're linked again.

http://www.cmjornal.xl.pt/detalhe/noticias/ultima-hora/belga-defour-esta-de-saida Portuguese papers are saying he's leaving Porto and Everton and Lokomotiv Moscow are interested.

Here's full Ireland squad http://www.fai.ie/international/senior-men/103983-o-neill-names-final-squad-for-ireland-s-summer-internationals.html That's a busy summer that.. Dublin, London, Philadelphia and New Jersey and they're all friendlies.

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-marc-albrighton-set-7142574 It seems Everton could be offering more than Villa were prepared to.

Southport too..

Wrexham added too.. http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/article/friendlies-bolton-everton-14.05.19-1564372.aspx

It surpised me that it was 0-0 at half time, the final score was 2-0 to England.. although it was a pretty close game. England will meet Scotland or Netherlands in the final.

It's Wales' answer to Blackpool.

I retweeted Adrian Bevington's (Hodgson's boss) response to the article, he says it's bullshit as talks haven't took place or been suggested.

Ledson and Kenny start. Portugal have won 9 consecutive competitive games.

I noticed that Sky are going to televise it this year (we're not in it - Liverpool are). Typical.

Two Everton players in Tyias Browning and Luke Garbutt have been called up to the England U20 squad for the Toulon Tournament.

At 16:30 BST, England will play Portugal in teh semi finals. It'll be shown on Eurosport. Gemmill's Scotland have also reached the semis and will play the Dutch.

Apparently it earned the club £1.3m.

C'mon Arsenal!

Took me a while, but I got it too.. only because I've had old issues of the Beano where the price of it was written with a "d". I have no idea what the "d" is short for though. I imagine the change confused many people in the 70s. It's bad enough for me knowing metric, ordering £2s worth of sausages in the butchers and having to specify I mean £2 in money and not 2lb.

I presumed that's what he meant in the first place.. I thought he was just being polite.

Did anyone ask what it was?

The coach of the Panama team Julio Dely Valdes told ESPN that they asked a fan to run on the pitch in their game against USA when the USA were attacking in their World Cup qualifying game in an attempt to prevent them scoring, the fan did what was he was told but it was behind the the action on the pitch and the goal was scored - it sent Mexico to the World Cup (and prevented Panama?). Sportsmanship in the Central American region..

I do have one complaint though, why are they using Xavier's School for Gifted children as a home? :shaking fist: Would it have been that difficult to find a different building?

What are you saying, that Van der Meyde was a failure or something?
