Cracking debate/expose offered up by Stan Collymore regards Everton tonight. Finally, what a lot of Evertonians have known for a long time regards the non-sale and lies given by the club officials is now out in the open for all to see what a shambles & charlatans they really are. Well done, Stan!! The piece was due to run for an hour, 2 1/2 hours later they were still talking and taking calls.

Do you have a link where I could catch up on what was said?
 
****. It sounds like Wilshere is out for a while. He's supposedly in Dubai receiving treatment for an ankle injury. It's unclear from the rumours whether it's another stress fracture or ankle ligament problems.

Well that could make a bad season a whole lot worse!

I wouldn't go that far. Attacking midfield is the one place we have good depth with Jack, Cazorla and Rosicky. It's a loss, but not a season ending one.

I didn't listen to the show but I've been impressed with Collymore on the radio.

I know it's fairly trashy but I listen to TS quite a lot and I often think he tries to take debates over and above the level of the average caller / listener.

He did a heartfelt show a few weeks ago about Gazza. The reason it caught my attention was because he was talking about how he and Gazza both feel they would have been better placed to avoid the problems they went on to have had they gone ahead with their planned moves to United under SAF rather than Liverpool and Spurs respectively.

Watch it! I hope Arsenal win, who knows, but I'd like them to win for Wenger's sake.
 
and nice one Danny s***tu, would love for him to get to play a Cup Final at Wembley.
 
m'on the gooners as they say up here:)
 
Our away fans are immense! So loud for just 3,500 of them. I only wish we could scale that support up to fill the emirates with. Sadly there's a gulf in class between the two sets of fans.

We were never going to go through this tie, but I love the decisions Wenger has made to drop Szczesny and Vermaelan. They've been excused mistakes for too long.

Away fans are almost always louder Jamie, put a few thousand 'nutters' together and its amazing how often they out-sing the home fans. Just a by product of stadium layout these days.

Give me a road trip any day!

A product of all-seater stadiums, in the old days people who wanted to sing etc would gather naturally together, now people are split all over mostly.

Sometimes though it just depends where the microphones are - I've been at some games where I can't hear the home \ away fans but watching back on the telly they are all you can hear.

Never say never! very unlikely I'll grant you. My first ever QPR game was a 5-5 draw against Newcastle where we we 4-0 down and 5-3 down with a few minutes to go - so I always believe anything is possible.
 
Great fight back but just not enough in the end. Our defence was great. This is why everyone wants to see Koscielny and Per partner each other more. Jenkinson was brilliant as well.

What the referee was thinking half the game I don't know, he was on a different planet most of the time!
 
Who's the other FA Cup semi?
 
It's ok. Found it. My phone was being slow
 
Yep it was the Man U/Chelsea v City I was trying to remember.

From all the Millwall mates comments on facebook, you'd think they were on their way to Europe already.......
 
Hard luck for Arsenal, but well done for giving it a good go. :clap:

Only saw the 2nd half, but Bayern didn't look up for it. :nono:

If they play like that in the next round, they may go out.
 
Rio back in England squad, must admit I didn't think he would be invited back. Persistence pays off for him I guess. John Terry not being in the squad a mere co-incidence.

Lescott needs to go out on loan, I guess Jagielka is injured.
 
Gutted that inter went out after such a strong display. It does seem an injustice that away goals continue to apply into extra time.

Interesting England squad. Jenkinson can feel a little hard done by to miss out I think. Hopefully we'll see Welbeck start.

I've never liked that.

I'm just wondering what the Romanian for "Your support is effing shplit!" is :thinking:
 
Something nice about a full set of Premier League fixtures this weekend after all the mish mash of fixtures of late.

He can feel hard done by playing 2nd fiddle to Sagna this season!
 
Absolute shocker from the ref to award a free kick for a handball that happened well within the penalty box!

Absolute shocker from the assistant ref in the 1st half for disallowing an onside goal;)
