The Football.....

[Lilliburlero]

Starting to look like The Foxes are going to be ripped to shreds during the summer transfer window.

This was always going to happen, but I don`t care because they gave my son and I the impossible.

Hope you'd had a flutter too

I`m not that crazy

Double I reckon. Just shows the madness of football. Although there have been high profile cases in the City too

Football is mad I love it to bits but the money is outrageous beyond outrageous. Kids earning 20 + grand a week. Iheanacho across at Shitty his agent negotiating a new deal is asking for 150 k a week. He is 19 ffs !

I guess more fool the clubs willing to pay it, and the fans to suck up stupid ticket prices (and yes I know Arsenal are among, if not, the worst) and the punters (like me) and pubs to pay TV subs etc

I guess while you have the super rich with more money than they know what to do with wanting football clubs as playthings, it'll continue

Not sure about that move though.

Okay, I'll take your bait.....Everton's stature has declined in the last 25 years or so, granted, but we now have a new ambitious investor who seems prepared to fund a rebuilding programme in respect of the manager, players and coaching staff, and reportedly a new stadium. He seems to have convinced Koeman that his plans are sufficiently realistic for him to stand a chance of realising his own ambitions, and therefore to leave a well run and well performing club like Southampton who have just qualified for the Europa League.

Whether Moshiri's vision will pan out as he would want remains to be seen. It certainly seems that Everton will have more potential under his stewardship, but I hope our fans don't take anything for granted; names such as Lerner, Venky's, Ashley, Hicks, Gillette etc. spring to mind as examples of how messiahs can prove to be anything but.

If nothing else though, at least we have got rid of Roberto's brand of pointless passing and shambolic defending, interspersed far too infrequently with the odd moment of brilliance.

They took that photo a bit early. John Terry hadn't had time to change into his kit..........

I was a regular at Filbert Street SK pen 3 back in the latter 80`s/early 90`s before I met my wife to be. Our first born in 95 was a boy and I always bought him Leicester kits for birthday or Christmas presents. One day he came home from school (9 or 10 years old) and said to me "do I have to be a Leicester City fan" (peer pressure from his Man Utd fan school friends no doubt).. I just looked at him and said "yes" and to his credit he stayed with me and stayed with the Foxes

This vid and the bit about your father saying "get yourself a team and make it City" just blows me away

Rofl only Gooners can celebrate finishing second.

To be fair it's their best result since 2004-2005 when they again finished in second place way behind Chelsea's record 95 points.

In truth both Spuds and the Gooners screwed up big time this season with three of the big four having pretty rubbish seasons one of them should've filled the breach.

Do you think Lukaku Stones and Barkley will stick around ?

So your saying in 11 years they haven't progressed at all. He is a class act that Wenger give him a 10 year contract I say

Better stay still than fall backwards off a cliff spending how much was it in the last couple of years on underperforming players including big names like Falcao, not to mention big pay offs for a couple of failed managers?

I shall enjoy the Champions League at least while it lasts!

Koeman ... Good manager seems a nice guy/QUOTE]

He cannot pronounce the word "goal"!!!

No you've spent 10 years since the break up of the invincibles to get a couple of FA cups and nowhere near to winning the premier league or champions league. But hey least you finish above Spurs so that clearly makes you champions in your own fans eyes. I don't think paying off failed managers is mutually exclusive to Man Utd either.
