    The Bill Kenwright transcript on the troubles of Everton FC and football finance that Moyes has been getting annoyed about. A transcript of two halves methinks. A first-half of rough and tumble excitement followed by a dour rambling second-half.

    Rather worrying for Eurozone taxpayers that Deutsche Bank will not consider players as collateral but the ECB do!

    Whinging Pom :eek:

    Next time an Aussie says that to you mention Bodyline. 80 years later they are still banging on about losing a Test series. They only moan because they didn't have any decent fast bowlers of their own.

    Speaking of chin music:

    Sporting quotes were way better back then.

    "Juantorena opens his legs and shows his class" was always my favourite.

    I heard a good one today on Talksport from a listener, it got a laugh. 'He certainly knows how to stop Torres scoring goals', who is that then? Roy Hodgson of course :)
