Not true at all. At the bottom, every game counts... And gets dissected even more. Unless you're trying to ignore reality, which may be the case for some Hammer types. Expect a tight, scrappy game. 2-1 Everton.

Phil Brown-- Rumor is, he's on his way! Or at least out of his job...

Guys-- I listed the MLS median back on Monday. How is it we're still arguing about it? The fact is, however you calculate it, the vast majority of MLS players are way underpaid.

To follow up on the above: Looks as if MLS players are prepared to strike. Not clear how the timing of this impacts Donovan: MLS players have voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike if a collective bargaining agreement with the league is not reached in time for the season openers in two...

Buy Landon Donovan, and maybe you'll boost US interest, and get a Yank billionaire. Now that's a good investment...

With Portsmouth not even applying for a UEFA license, 7th is looking good for Europa. And Everton is looking better and better for 7th!

The median figure I heard was $86k or around 56k POUNDS. Either way, it's not much for a pro athlete. Has anyone heard anything about Moyes's trip to LA? Is that a rumor or a fact?

This kind of post has been popping up on various American sites. But frankly, I think the underlying assumption is wrong: It seems to have more to do with the writer's hopes and dreams than with Donovan's. You just have to look at LD week in and week out to see that he is happy at...

The back pass was an exceptionally nice touch. LD was in the same spot and could have blasted that one home, but wanted to give a nice gift to a young teammate. Good move--and good team spirit. He's happy at Everton....

What I do hope is that this lights a fire under Moyes to complete the deal with LD. That would be the best outcome from that article....

In answer to your question: The MLS and the players are currently deadlocked. The players get paid ridiculously low wages pretty much across the board (around 55K pounds-- a year!). On the other hand, soccer isn't a big ticket item for us. As said before, in the US system, the league is a...

OK-- so I stick by my prediction.... :)

So is there in fact any NEW news about LD's future at Everton?

Good point-- very limp first half.... At least some spirit was recovered in pt 2.
