I wrote this piece comparing our Roberto to DC United's manager Ben Olsen. You probably won't get any real football-related insights out of it, it's mainly a discussion of their approaches to the game and the attitudes that drive their tenures at their respective clubs. Give it a read if...

Really basic question. I haven't heard about it too often, but if a player leaves his club on a free, is he more likely to be offered a signing bonus or higher wages? In theory this would make sense, since a club would be willing to risk a fixed amount on a player, and without having to pay a...

Hi all, I wrote an essay comparing Everton under Roberto Martinez to the concept of the "absurd man" in The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. I'm posting it here instead of in the Everton forum because while the core of the essay is about football, it's mainly a philosophical essay and I sort...

So obviously I'm as made up as the rest of you that we've managed to bring him back on a permanent deal (especially just after securing Barkley's future at the club), and now that he's officially an Everton Player, I think it's worth discussing whether he truly has the attributes to lead the...

http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1737628/liverpool-free-compete-europe-next-season-losses-falling-uefa-ffp-rules?cc=5901 Basically, because Liverpool aren't competing in Europe this season and weren't competing last season, the rules didn't apply to them. Was this made known beforehand? Now...

Barry picked up his 5th yellow card against Sunderland, does this mean he's suspended against Southampton? If so, what formation should we play in his absence. The nightmare scenario has finally arisen where Barry is unable to play a game and Gibson still isn't fit. In my opinion...

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I was just curious what the motivations were for structuring the forum this way. If I remember correctly, in years past, different transfer rumor targets etc. would have their own threads. I totally get having one thread for pure conjecture...

More detailed than the top 50 list in the other thread http://www.bsports.com/football-index-english-premier-league According to the list, -Howard is the 10th best keeper -Leighton Baines is the best left back (obviously) -Distin is the 3rd best centre back -Coleman is the 6th best...

Okay guys, I finished my way through the all once and am about halfway through seeing them a second time (I'm normally not that obsessive about shows, but watching the first 4 or 5 again, they're basically different episodes) A couple questions I have / some speculation: -What happened with...

What player currently active in a European league has winners medals from the top flight domestic leagues of three different nations, and has won the champions league. I can only think of one, but there may be more than one. Not counting Becks as "active" for this Edit: meant to say...

Don't know if this should go in the potential replacement thread, I think it's big enough to stand on its own. http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1445932/dave-whelan-everton-not-big-enough-roberto-martinez?cc=5901 Well, I was pulling for them before but now I hope they go down.

D/D, have you considered this option? I don't know if either of you are familiar with Bitcoin, but it's a very simple system, at least from your end. If you're not familiar with it, it's basically an online currency that floats relative to other world currencies, it's growth is...

So I'm still living in the US, but I wanted to buy a present for a friend who had hosted me on my visit to Liverpool a couple years ago, as he seems to be going through a tough time. I was going to buy him the 1001 Premier League Goals DVD from the Online store and have it shipped to his house...

I am an American, and not too familiar with the world of sports betting. I know the answer to this is only a google away, but unfortunately my work internet filter blocks gambling websites. I placed a parlay (accumulator bet) on Everton with a (-1) handicap, and West Brom to beat Villa...

This season we have only kept 2 clean sheets (Swansea and Man United), the same amount of clean sheets we had at this point last year (in what most of us considered a terrible start). Why is this happening?

Make a starting 11 for your former or current everton players that were great on their best day, though average to terrible most of the time (for us or elsewhere). Sort of inspired by the "players that almost made it" thread ------------------Wright --Neil ---Materazzi --- Billic...

I'm not going to weigh in on the subject since I live in the US and have only been to one Everton home game, but I came across this infographic and was a bit surprised. thoughts? http://www.rightmove.co.uk/news/articles/rightmove-news/youre-supposed-to-be-at-home

Anyone watching the game? Am on the bus home now I'll be able to make it to the bar in time to catch the 2nd half, I didn't go to the game because I didnt think I could handle people shouting abuse at Cahill. Still don't know what I'll do if he scores against us, it would be heartbreaking

Since Villarreal were rather unexpectedly relegated this season despite having several excellent players, would we want to buy any of them? i don't watch la liga but i was curious if any of there players (that we'd have a chance of signing, not rossi) could be a good addition to our squad
