Just watched MOTD . Watching Kante play for Chelsea is depressing he seems to just carried last season's form on he going to be a big player for them .They certainly look better than last year . First win for the Foxes hopefully up and running were middle of the table :smile: .
Used to have soft spot for Man City admired their fans during the rubbish years but that changed with the new money .

Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted
Everton has always been and always will be my favourite team. My dad was an Evertonian and my granddad before him was too, and he started taking me to the match when I was about 7 or 8 in the late 60s, then I used to go with my uncle in the 70s before I started going with my mates. About 20 years ago I started taking my lad when he was about 6 or 7 and he is also a true blue, but he now lives abroad and I go with my mates again now; it is something I will do as long as I am physically able to.

I don't have a second favourite team, although I do enjoy watching other games, as a neutral, at whatever level, and I do like to see Liverpool's opponents do well.

Most of the other clubs I keep an eye on involve former Killie favourites of mine.

Cheltenham Town (James Dayton)
Derby (Craig Bryson)
Everton (Wee Naisy)
Norwich (Gary Holt)

Bristol City (Lee Johnson)
Citadella (Manuel Pascal)

Wee Naisy also plays for Norwich now, but I have heard he isn't getting much game time. Not the most gifted player but better than many give him credit for, and what a bloke. He gives his own time and money to the homeless and unemployed and when at Everton, he used to buy match tickets for local unemployed people. I was on holiday recently and met a Norwich fan who said Naisy was doing the same down there.

Another nice touch he did was when Everton played Norwich on the last day of last season, it was Tim Howard's farewell game, and our players gave him a guard of honour as he left the pitch, Naismith joined in, even though he was no longer one of our players.

In the modern day of spoilt rotten footballers, he helps restore my faith in human nature.

Aye I've been keeping tabs on him there too.

Agreed that he's a limited player but you can't fault his dedication and he's got a decent scoring record. All round decent chap who I hope will return to Killie in some capacity one day. I still can't quite believe we managed to get £2 million for him, not that I don't think he's worth the money, just that we normally take the first offer on players we're selling as we're so skint.

Magennis for example, our top goal scorer last season and had a decent showing at the Euros. Let him away for under £500k. Not as bad as the business we did with Bryson, I think we got £100k for him and he was club captain at the time! Still good money I suppose, for both, but what message does it send when we're prepared to let our best assets go for bugger all?

Yes, thanks very much for getting the lad up & running for us! :laugh: Certainly saves our wingers (who now have to work a bit harder with Conte playing 4-2-4 or 4-1-4-1) from having to do all that Jose tracking back malarkey allowing them to get on with doing what wingers are supposed to do.

Can't understand how we got him so cheap tbh. He seems to have perked Matic up as well which is a nice Brucie Bonus.

My favourite quote from last year . Craig Shakespeare asst manager talking about our mid field "we play 3 in midfield Drinkwater in the middle and Kante on the left and Right "that's the work he does he must be brilliant to play with . Yes bargin buy

I now watch Accrington Stanley but i watched Blackburn Rovers for 20 odd years (from the old div 3 to top of the Prem') in the 70's 80's and early 90's. I kind of lost interest the year they won the Premiership in 1995. I know some think it's weird stopping watching a successful team, but the fans knew Blackburn couldn't hold on to Alan Shearer and the team would not be the same the following year. I became disillusioned with football and stopped watching it altogether then Accy got drawn at home to Huddersfield in the FA Cup(2003) so i've watched them since, I probably would've watched them from being a youngster rather than Blackburn but as you probably know they went out of business and didn't reform for another 6 years, working their way back up from pub leagues etc.
