Wot !!!! no Everton ??

Perhaps their commentators have asked for a month or two to identify who is in their team, or maybe they just think it will take till Christmas before the team have "gelled" enough to be worth showing

They are showing the Everton game (week 2) at Man City ........... early morning oil lamps will be required in Nongers though (02:00 Tues 22 Aug)

Newcastle/Spuds/Man Utd being shown week 1 and week 2 ............ you know it makes sense

=D> Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley has told a High Court judge he is a "power drinker" who likes to get drunk. Well, at least he has something in common with numerous udon Thani Farang Residents =D>

sad new today one of the premier league's and England's finest mascot's Bradley lowery passed away today at the age of 6 years old to neuroblastoma a childhood cancer the young man fought it to the end with a smile on his face I've followed his battle on social media since it was confirmed that it was terminal for the young lad and he captured the heart of the nation with his cheeky smile I've had tears in my eyes since I found out young Bradley had passed away


RIP BRADLEY LOWERY GODSPEED YOUNG MAN

I really do appreciate your efforts , Statts, but pre-season friendlies??
They make Under 21 & European qualification games look like unarmed combat in comparison..

As luck has it I only have to hold onto my sanity until 18th. July (9 days & counting ) when I can then bask in West Country sunshine & look forward to the delights of watching Town in raw & live pre-season epics of their own... Although the Bath game might be a bit of a struggle to arrange..

Bath City (a) - Thursday 20th July 7:30pm
Weston-Super-Mare (a) - Saturday 22nd July 3pm
Peterborough United (h) - Saturday 29th July 3pm

[stattointhailand]

You can look forward to a wet weekend in Weston ........... always rains on July/Aug weekends

What do you make of 'pool playing a tourny in Hong Kong against West Brom Leicester & Palace .......... klopp trying to find out why they keep losing to this type of team ??

Everton

13 July: Gor Mahia FC (National Stadium, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) Someone's avin a larf surely.......No It's Because Our Shirt Sponsors,Are Tanzanian Based.....

[stattointhailand]

Sorry 747 didn't realise you guys were sponsored by the ferkarewe tribe ..... hope they don't provide pigmy size shirts .... at least Rooney will be at home jumping up and down trying to see over the long grass

[goodison]

Sad News indeed regarding the demise of Bradley Lowery. I recall him being carried onto the Hallowed Turf of Goodison Park when the Black Cats visited. Unfortunately the subject is too close to home for us as we lost a Grandson (Nong Bev) aged 2yrs. due to a similar illness. The two cases remind us that there are more important things in life than chasing a footy around. R.I.P. both lads, taken from us much too early.

[stattointhailand]

Just watched Le Gooners stroll past Sydney in pre - season. Scoring opened by Mertesacker after 4 mins and doubled by Le Nouveau Geezer (Lacazette) with a tap in 15 mins from time ..... well it was a froggie commentary :-"

[stattointhailand]

BREAKING NEWS

Manchester City agree a fee in excess of £50m with Tottenham for Kyle Walker, according to Sky sources.

[747man]

Rooney Opened his Everton Account after 34 Minutes in Tanzania.....But The Kenyans drew level at 37 Mins....Latest Score 1-1..

[747man]

Final Score from Dar-Es-Salam ....Gor 1 v.Everton 2 We Won The Cup......

''BREAKING NEWS'' Everton buy top mansion

[goodison]

Wazza's long range goal worth watching again & again. Never mind the opposition, thank you BBC.

Wazza's long range goal worth watching again & again. Never mind the opposition, thank you BBC.

Would appear that the power went off in Liverpool as well as Nongers during the game :-"

Final Score from Dar-Es-Salam ....Gor 1 v.Everton 2 We Won The Cup......

Everton defeat the Fuzzy Wuzzies in darkest Africa

Report by Mr Cholmondley-Warner

"In a gripping encounter Everton overcame the Gor Mahia Womens Institute in Dar Es Salaam yesterday to win the Toxteth Taxi Drivers Cup.
Roared on by a crowd of 37,which included many of Wayne Rooneys relatives,Everton took the lead through the legendary former striker when a mis hit pass to the wing flew into the net from 25 yards.
Stunned by this the Gor Maha ladies soon hit back through Miss Kali Masumba who dribbled through 6 Everton defenders and placed the ball firmly in the goals.
In the second half our Everton boys stood firm under wave after wave of the ladies attacks and broke away to score the winner through Kieran Dowell with just 7 minutes left.
Absolutely amazing as young Dowell was on holiday and only played as Everton didnt have enough for a full team.
But a magnificent win for the Everton boys which bodes well for their chances of avoiding relegation from the English Premiership next season.
Much sterner tasks lie ahead for this team starting with a tough encounter away to an Udon Expats XI this weekend but until then the Everton boys can bask in the glory of bringing more success to the British Empire."
