Landon Donovan vs. Brad Friedel

Why?

“You get a player like a Landon Donovan, who in my opinion chose to take the easy road and stay in the States. It’s much harder to ply your trade over here,” Friedel told the BBC. “(The Premier League) is the best league in the world to play in, and this is where (Dempsey) got better in my opinion. This is where he became one of the best the United States ever produced.”

“The profiling in the States sometimes is a lot more to do with sponsorships than what you actually do on the field," he said. "And listen, I’m not trying to take anything away from Landon because Landon has been absolutely magnificent for the U.S. as well. I’m just saying he gets a lot more notoriety because it’s sponsorship-driven over there.”

MUST. WATCH. TV.

Hope Landon puts a hat trick by the sucker.

EDIT: Grant Wahl's Twitter: On Jan 11 Donovan and Everton will meet Brad Friedel and Tottenham Hotspur. That game had better be available in US.

Problem with is that Spurs are still going to anihilate us.

Bloody hell. I forgot that Saha has skill. The way he took that second goal is second to none. Why can't THAT Saha play for us right now!!!! He hit that ball so hard, it was passing Cech when he finally reacted!!!

 

[McBain]

Hells bells whats he going to?

Okay, dumb question for those who have bought kits off the website - do I just personalize LD's kit by listing his name and number manually? Or will he eventually show up for kit purchase when he finally arrives on loan? I don't want this to look any different if I personalize manually - it shouldn't right?

This is frustrating.

He will show up later. If you want to get it now.. Just personalize it. Might cost you like 3 USD more. I wait till he shows up in the list. Probably cheaper after Christmas as well Kay..

God can you imagine this Everton coming back from a goal down to Chelsea to win 2 1? Not likely. We just go even more defensive so not to concede more.

Thanks bud. It costs an extra $7 bucks, which isn't horrible. There is a 20% off sale right now which seems decent? Do kits go for any cheaper than that?

My main concern is making sure it doesn't look any different than if the player was on the list. It shouldn't, right?

P.S. And by the way, as a marketer, this is beyond stupid. He should have been available immediately for Xmas - if even the orders had to cost more or be placed on backorder. Money lost as I had to hunt around to figure this out.

EDIT: I placed the order. Didn't want to wait any longer, and want to have my new shirt on 1/4. You're welcome Everton - enjoy my American $$.

I want a moment like this when he scores for us....

Ah Americans....for some reason I get a really happy emotional feeling from that vid. (I'm not gay)

watching as an american everton supporter was crazy. was so nervous, and he scores just after a missed chance. have never screamed after a goal like that. my brain could barely process it.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

they did one of these s.t. discounts last year, then when it ended had a sale where they went even cheaper.

we should start mithering le coq now about anything we would like next season such as Black Watch, would save their 'designers' the bother.
