I'm pretty sure there is lint in my navel, but I haven't checked in a while.

I can't remeber if you're American or Irish? But is it a holiday for the yanks? In the UK, it's just a 'normal' day, where we have to work but are also pressured into doing something 'romantic' for the other half. Same thing in the US, and as far as I know, every other western country and beyond. Seems like men have been hoodwinked on a global scale

As for my plans, I'll be tending bar and watching with amusement as the men pick up the tab all night long

Somewhere along the line, Valentines Day became almost completely about the women, and pleasing them. Seems like they just sit back and let the guys sweat it out, running around trying to do this, get that, reserve this, etc. And be original. Or traditional. Or both. Just don't screw it up. None of this applies to me personally however, because I'm happily single And if I did have a girlfriend, she'd have to view this holiday with the same level of contempt that I do!

I'm assuming if this went forward even on a trial basis, it would be lower Holte? And would they actually install rails, or simply let people stand?

Ronaldo made him a better player

Adebayor is making AVB look like a total muppet

Liverpool defending needs a serious overhaul

I guess that's why it's in the cheapo bin, eh?

Anyone played this? It's on sale on Steam at the moment...

Be safe Dom, it's looking very nasty down there

Derek Jeter announces he'll retire at the end of the season... another narcissistic player wanting a season full of ass kissing tributes. I sincerely hope he gets roundly booed at Fenway.

Mata looks useless in this United team. Wasted money so far, IMO. And how crap is Rafael?

This side of the pond it's Arsenal/Man U, I can only assume that's the one you'd get too?

Worst song ever? You decide...

Yep, and looks like all the fixtures are under major scrutiny now

Mooney-as-verb

Hard to watch that ^

It never ends for you guys. I hope you finally get some stability and continuity. (Always had a soft spot for the Browns)

This seems like the type of game that we'll actually win in spite of being a really bad side. We're a bad side with flashes of quality, and it'll be enough to keep us from being relegated. Three points from this will go a long way to that end.

Everton for me, during Moyes' tenure consisted of a lot of players I really wanted to have at the Villa. Loyal servants of high quality as well as a lot of grifters every club has easier access to, but they didn't necessarily make them fight for top 6. Tim Cahill was picked up for 1.5M, Tim Howard cost 3M, Phil Neville 3.5M, Steven Pienaar 2M, Phil Jagielka 4M, of course Leighton Baines at 6M, Joleon Lescott 5M, Mikel Arteta 2M and so on. Marouane Fellaini was expensive at 15M, but he was always feared and coveted by most clubs when he was at Everton. Looks totally lost at United, but let's not forget he has played a total of eight games in the league for them. I guess it was Moyes who also brought in Seamus Coleman to Everton. He was basically working on the same type of budget Paul Lambert has now, and we see what kind of players a better manager can get into his team if the kit is spent properly. It also shows how huge of a step it is from managing a mid-table club with little pressure, as opposed to a top club demanding the trophy every season. Good post, Pap. Moyes consistently did fantastic business with transfers. Given his resources, what he achieved in terms of bringing in quality without breaking the bank is to be applauded. Had he been in charge in 1995, Everton would have been strong contenders for the league and CL qualification.

I would have thought OGS was smarter than to have taken this job. Wrong club at the wrong time, and the fact that they are almost certain to get relegated will hurt his reputation. He easily could have waited until the end of the season and window shopped about 6 clubs who would probably have had interest in him.
