This game was preceded by a moving tribute to Everton fanatic Rhys Jones, whose tragic death has touched the hearts of the whole city. Rhys's beloved Z-Cars anthem was played ahead of the traditional You'll Never Walk Alone, before the players, fans and Rhys's parents and brother stood through an emotional period of applause.

It might have just been Toulouse but 4 goals OMG 4!!ONE11!! from the Reds today is leaving me very optimistic about their premiership chances. Hyypia played and scored as well as Crouch and Kuyt(2).

I think the exposure it is getting there with the tribute and all is more of an indicator to the diminished gun problems there. I think you'd see the same outcry here in the states.

David Dein sells his shares to a Russian owned company.

Looks like Dein is positioning himself to get back into the club. Very interested to see how this plays out.

Breaking news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has retired. It's on the skysports site. Absolutely gutted. The man is a living legend.

I was very sad today in seeing this. I finally got my internet back on after it being out for a week. GG Ole, you were awesome and was respsonsible for our greatest moment. It saddens me with all of the injuries he had and that he just couldn't make it back from them

this situation is [censored]

[AJW]

Lots of last minuet transfer action
Chelsea: Johnson out leaving Chelsea with one RB and Essien as cover unless Alex can play there?
Middlesbrough: O’Neil in from Pompy ok they needed a right sided midfielder and he can play there.
Wigan: one big donkey out Folan 1 mil, one big donkey in M Bent loan seems like good business to me.
Villa: Curtis Davis joins on a season long loan, great for Villa I cant see why WBA would allow it though. Also Zat Knight £3.5 they were mugged.
Everton: Gravesen in on loan for the season probably won’t have the same impact he did first time around.
Portsmouth: Johnson in O’Neil and Stafanovic out. Surprised by O’Neil looked like a useful squad player to me.
Man City: D Mills loaned to Charlton for 3 months should have made it the full year has no chance of getting in the first team and is on big money.

Even if Johnson stayed, they'd have only one RB [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Chelsea also confirmed that they aren't going after Ronaldinho.

I read somewhere it's to save them money. Luton have a sell-on clause with him, so by getting Villa to pay a chunk to take him on loan instead of the entire fee and a permanent move they waste less. No idea if it's true or not though.
