      @AdamJ lingard's still young.. give him a chance..  😃 😃

      @AdamC well i'm more happy that they've managed to signed him instead of dicking about with money, contracts and all that crap that shitward is doing. i'll take what he did at sporting with a pinch of salt because not many great players overseas do well in the premier league.. but definitely looks promising..

      Well there was that Ronaldo guy…..

                Well I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you said correctly, but it sounds like you're saying that not many foreign players do well in the premier league?  I don't think that could be further from the truth.  This would imply that most of the best players in the league are UK based which is just not true.  The premier league is full of quality foreign players and is probably the most non-domesticated league of the big 5.  If you look at the player of the season awards over the course of the Premier League the vast majority of those players were foreign players.

                Ruud, Cantona (as Giles mentioned), Ronaldo, Henry, Van Dijk, Salah, Aguero, Schmeichel, Ljungberg, Suarez….the list goes on.

                Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying, but to say foreign players don't do well in the premier league is just not an accurate statement.

                  i think what i'm trying to imply was that there's a lot of brilliant foreign players in the premier league. However, while that is the truth, there's also a bunch of foreign players that struggled to adapt to the pace and physicality of the premier league. What i'm just trying to say is, let's give them a few games under their belt before we try and predict how we'll they'l do in the EPL..

                        You guys are 25 points ahead. Don’t think any “assist” was necessary

                          True story, but it raises the possibility of winning at Goodison or the Ethidad. Not that any of that is important in the long run, but either would be fun!

                            @neph93 one of my mates is an Evertonian and my step-dad is a City fan.  Both of whom are absolutely dreading those possibilities.  A guard of honour from the reigning champs is looking increasingly likely also  ::)

                              When the PFA looked for someone to run their PR, did they choose a candidate who had headed the ball a few too many times?  I don't think I have ever seen such a pathetic argument, unfortunately I susect the aresholes who dreamt it up have been congratulating themselves on their flash of brilliance ever since…..

                                  isn't players pay cut between the clubs, the agents and their players anyway? i know the EPL has no salary cap unlike some leagues (ML, A-League etc.) so why do they even have a say?

                                      ahhh right. i suppose i'd rather a player offer their sacrifices than to force them to sacrifice. i'll have no doubt most would do the right thing anyway..
