And a racist

Hmmm, bit of a far cry from the Suarez thread lol. Folks discussing things as adults? Nah, can't be.

I agree that there was probably an element of the 2 clashing. It could have been that Moyes preferred Saha, so Yakubu lost interest, but these are professional guys, not Sunday league players, so they should be able to put differences aside once on the pitch. He had one good comeback game, and then dropped again. Whatever the reason, he was no good for us not performing, so no point him staying. The price was the big hurt for me, but it seems to underline how badly Moyes wanted shut.

We were correct to get shut. As much as some fans are thinking "Why have we lost a good scorer" they need to remember the guy was a bone idle wage taker in his final years here, and the fact he can suddenly get in to the swing of things at Blackburn underlines what he 'could have done' here had he been arsed. Pleased for Keane about the win, though didn't see that one coming if I'm honest.

Stabbed someone while getting his hair cut?

Laughing we sold him for £1.5m. It shows too though what a 'couldn't give a toss' player he was while he was here.

Lol mate. You are quite something. You've just latched on to the forums answer to a monkey. Well done. Do people normally join a forum and set about making enemies so soon though? You're definitely an interesting specimen. Yes, you are correct as usual C. Not sure Jackson was a hero though, but I admire your couth. Yep. We need one of those.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes#Weapons_and_martial_arts Actually, it seems he was. I always pictured him as an oldish man with a pipe.

That's the bit I didn't relate with. Since when was Holmes a black belt master of the dark arts?

You worry about who we will sell next? Why worry? What happens, happens in life mate. No point worrying about it. I've not known it any different at Everton in 40 years. I'm not going to go all giddy about it now.

I tried to watch Sherlock last night, but 15 minutes in we got bored with it so watched something else. Is it worth sticking with? I mean, why is our legendary detective all of a sudden Bruce Lee? That's the bit I dislike about modern day producers. I always remembered murder and mystery. Not Hong Kong bloody Fuyey.

Is Thumpin' Duncan the biggest thug in Premiership history? By JOHN EDWARDS, Daily Mail Last updated at 09:53 02 February 2006 Comments (0) Add to My Stories Duncan Ferguson grabs Stefan Freund against LeicesterIs Thumpin' Duncan the biggest thug in Premiership history? Tell us your views here Having been involved in a scuffle or two over the course of his career, Duncan Ferguson considers it a matter of intense personal pride that he has yet to come off second best. Tales of bar room brawls, as well as the odd on-field fracas, have helped build the Big Dunc legend and he looked every inch the prize fighter following his latest altercation at Wigan's JJB Stadium on Tuesday. Contrition may have come into the equation belatedly, once the red mist cleared, but there was little sign of it in the immediate aftermath of the right-hander that brought him the eighth red card of his Everton career and left Wigan midfielder Paul Scharner doubled up. As Ferguson took his leave, just seven minutes after going on as a substitute, there was almost a swagger to his measured, deliberate stride. Far from bowing his head in recognition of his folly, he ripped off his shirt, flexed his muscles and dared anyone in the dug-out area to return his stare as he brushed past Wigan manager Paul Jewell on his way down the tunnel. No one did, although David Moyes at least wasted no time before providing a sharp reminder that his firebrand front-runner's wallet has suffered its share of hammerings, even if he has not. In two spells at Goodison Park, a series of club fines have been imposed with the futile intention of curbing his over-aggressive streak. The latest financial penalty was inevitable after Moyes studied a television replay of Ferguson's loss of control - swinging round and landing a punch in Scharner's midriff - and condemned it as indefensible. A further fortnight's pay was added to the sort of fighting fund Everton could do without. Although the £24,000 may seem relatively modest alongside the £34,000 he used to earn in a single week, Ferguson might still shudder at how much his hair-trigger temper has cost since signing from Rangers just over 11 years ago. At a conservative estimate, the total now stands at over £200,000 from his tally of eight red cards - equal with Patrick Vieira as the worst in the Premiership - plus an unofficial ninth after he was found guilty of violent conduct on video evidence. He thought he had got away with an elbow on Thomas Hitzlsperger against Aston Villa at Goodison Park three years ago, until being called to account by disciplinary chiefs and handed a three-match ban. Everton's financial bosses might quietly appreciate the unsolicited contributions, but Moyes was struggling to contain his anger as he assessed the needless loss of Ferguson for another three games on the very day he was forced to concede defeat in his search for attacking reinforcements. As the transfer window closed, Preston's David Nugent remained overpriced for his age and experience, while Trabzonspor knocked back enquiries for Turkey striker Fatih Tekke. After turning to James McFadden and Tim Cahill as makeshift strikers against Wigan, Moyes is pinning his hopes on James Beattie not only recovering from a calf strain in time for Saturday's home game with Manchester City but remaining injuryfree for the rest of the season. There was a defiant look to the Everton manager that mirrored his players' recent demeanour as he looked back on four wins and a draw from their last five Premiership games and said: "There is a spirit about them that has really pleased me and when you've got that in your side, you have always got a chance. "It was frustrating we couldn't bring anyone in, but I still believe we have the players to turn this into a good season." The other man sent off at the JJB Stadium, Wigan's Jason Roberts, admitted to being 'a little naive' after also being hit with a three-match ban for elbowing Everton skipper David Weir. Fortunately for Roberts, he will not miss the Carling Cup final against Manchester United on February 26 as a rearranged Premiership clash with Tottenham has been moved from February 25 to February 18 as both teams are out of the FA Cup. Roberts said: "Ferguson had been sent off just before me and after someone has been given the red card you always have to be a bit careful yourself. "Honestly, I really did not try to hurt David Weir - my eyes were on the ball." Is Thumpin' Duncan the biggest thug in Premiership history?

Betcha do.

Flipping eck Zoo. I'm counting to 10 then logging off lad. I thought I had issues, but you're a bleeding enigma. Don't go near the Moyes thread, or the Cahill thread what ever you do mate. I don't know if you visit forums much, but you need to get used to different opinions. You've only been here 2 minutes and you are causing world war 3 lol.

Did Ratcliffe say "Put your thumb up"? I hope he was talking to the girl, and not Gray lol.

Ha ha.

Zoo, that's twice you've taken so much time and effort, to tell me I've taken so much time and effort. I haven't mate. We're chatting amongst mates here. It's not an effort, but a pleasure. Maybe you need to lighten up a bit. As for Dunc being a hard man, well, I know a few hard men, and I'd fancy their chances against ole Duncy boy. Grabbing Freund by the throat because the ref sent you off is thuggish. You can wrap it in any silken thread you want, but it was thuggish. Not hard. Put him in an MMA ring and tell me how hard he is then Zoo.

Roy Rogers would have knocked Clint Eastwood out.

I get disappointed when I read that players think not playing will 'damage their international prospects'. I appreciate it's just the media, but should they think they have a right to International football? Surely you prove yourself at club level, in order to gain recognition? If you don't play at club level, it's because you are shit. Why should you be shit, and expect to play for your country?

Are you in prison?

Some gyms have rolling contracts. I can't be doing with that.

What's with the girl stripper? Couldn't they afford anything a bit classier.

Shit happens mate. We always think it will happen to somebody else, not us, then boom. It's no biggy. Ferguson was still a thug lol.

Couldn't really care if you think it's quite sad mate. It's my opinion, and I thought the guy was a thug. Get over it. Keene was a thug too, as was Gerrard. Do you think because we're Everton we only have saints? If there was a poll of the games top 20 thugs, Ferguson would be in it.

I wonder if Bill could throw a few million on that bet.
