Usmanov

[Connor]

Looks like it was a genuine back page story by the Guardian, that was picked up by the scum.
Both have now pulled it.
Perhaps they received a phone call from a lawyer acting on behalf of Usmanov, Mosh or EFC denying it's accuracy.
This story won't run in any credible publication tomorrow but it may well be, partially at least, truthful. For example the official sponsorship may not name USM directly.
We'll find out the truth in due course.

Erm

Well then you're in luck

And yes, we can see a wumming too

I owe you an apology, it's real.

Thank god.

 

[Deco]

It's actually happening.

 

[Elong]

absolutely ecstatic... nice one

Am I allowed to be ecstatic too even though I'm not a local?

The BBC has tomorrow's Gossip Collum up already and that's a bunch of story's from tomorrow's papers, with links to be pressed, so if they gave tomorrow's transfer 'news' from the back pages, why is there no link to this story?

Well as its been confirmed by a few outlets, it looks as though there was an embargo until 12am, thats why it wasnt anywhere else. As I say, they probably didnt count on eagle eyed everton fans spotting it on a Millwall stafium story.

It's a deal Mr Usmanov. Welcome to Goodison. Can you give us some idea what sort of naming rights you had in mind?
------------
I demand to be named in the team for every match without fail.

I owe you an apology, it's real.

Thank god.

I'd gloat, but we both know you were on the wind up anyway

This thread is one of GoT's finest, well done all. @Moomin played a blinder.

Hand on heart, I thought we got wummed by that lot. All the stories got pulled, info was from a photo.

It looked and smelt fake

Because we don't own Finch Farm there are no Premier league rules being broken.

 

[thebluenosebolt]

this place is terribly bad for the heart.

 

[summerisle]

Nice jacket.

I owe you an apology, it's real.

Thank god.

You are my horse as well, I was backing you.

Turned out to be a three legged pony.

Oh my dear God and I foolishly thought Christmas was over

 

[Elong]

I owe you an apology, it's real.

Thank god.

It looked dodgy at first, skepticism should be natural to any Everton fan.

Supposedly because we don't own Finch Farm there are no Premier league rules being broken.

Yep
