    Part of me really pities the man. He might eventually come good. I doubt it, but you never know. Either way, he was given this massive price tag by a manager clearly at the end of his tether here, and then just given no chance to live up to the expectation. So ultimately, he'll end up being...

    Famous people you went to school with?

    I knew Gaskell was there anyway but I remember reading an article about Gaskell and Imiolek in one of the rugby mags or online, and they mentioned it and I'm reading it like "hang on, that's not THAT far away, I thought it was always the kids who lived miles down south who would make it in...

    Famous people you went to school with?

    Sandbach that isn't it? I play rugby myself and I remember meeting James Gaskell back when I was like 15-16 and he was just starting through at Sale, working on different techniques and that with him and Lee Imiolek who I believe was also at Sandbach?

    Let them. I heard they were looking at Colin Kaepernick anyway so I wouldn't make bets until nearer the time.

    Exactly. Look at the footage of Tom Brady's combine and it's like they found the whitest nerdiest kid they could to showcase. Yet he's one of the greatest of all time.

    Someone also flies up draft charts at the combine. I put very little into it personally. You only need to see the footage of Tom Brady's combine workout to see how pointless it is.

    Everton v Newcastle. 3rd Feb at 1945.

    "A bit Scott Gemmill". To this day I don't even know what Scott Gemmill ever actually did except be the son of Archie. Like he always seemed to be there in the starting XI but I could never figure out why.

    Everton programmes/WSAG fanzines

    WSAG is still a personal favourite for all things Everton. Always gives a few laughs and that. They used to have a piece by Saint Vesp in there like every issue which was always good.

    Going to be honest I'm not liking the sound of this. 13.5m is a lot of money for someone who is by and large a bit of a one season wonder in what is by and large a fairly substandard league compared to the Premier League.

    Five things that annoy you about modern football

    1) Fans who go the match and film the whole thing on their tablets. 2) If you finish 3rd in the group stage of the Champions League, you drop into the Europa League. It's like a reward for failure. 3) Teams going and scouting all over the world for kids, and then not bothering to play them...

    Martinez Slams Mike Jones’ “Unacceptable” Performance

    But the point remains. That second half saw 6 goals, 6 substitutions, and a couple of injuries such as the one to Oviedo and the few to Costa which definitely ate up a couple of minutes each. If we were to add time on for celebrations we'd be looking more towards double figures for added time...

    To be fair I always liked Al Davis. Except when it came to the continuous hiring and firing of coaches. I don't agree with that, I don't think it gets anyone anywhere.

    Martinez Slams Mike Jones’ “Unacceptable” Performance

    I don't buy that concept of adding time on for celebration. If that was the case there'd be 5 minutes plus added on every week.

    Covers better than the original

    Proud Mary. The original by CCR is decent, but let's face it Tina Turner took it to another level. Isn't Amy Winehouse's version the cover?

    Kroenke was never interested in staying in St Louis despite what anyone may say - he never even met with city officials to discuss staying there. The strangest part of this whole thing is that the league's LA Committee voted in favour of the Raiders/Chargers project in Carson, yet the Rams move...

    The Cowboys are abysmal without him. I like Romo, but I think he's badly let down by having a very disappointing supporting cast outside of his O-Line, Dez and Witten.

    He was MVP in both his wins, and in fairness he did play well in the second one. The first one was more on his defence and him being bailed out big time by David Tyree. Regular season there's no contest. Peyton's teams have consistently won 12-13 games a season and the Colts completely fell...

    It gets him more in the Jim Plunkett company. The fact Eli has more rings than Peyton is quite unjust if you ask me. His defence has usually come up big when needed, and some of the luck he's had is Kopite-esque.

    Relatively simply nobody can match Manning statistically. He also has 5 MVP awards and holds nearly every passing record there is. There's no doubt he's one of the all time greats but because he never won the big one more than once, he'll never be held in the same regard as Brady and Montana...
