That?s it, our season?s knackered, I?m opening the emergency Guinness. I can?t sleep now anyway, may as well pour myself into the blackness, cursing and mumbling into the night.

Look at those goofy City fans crowded around the Sky bloke, thank Christ I?m an Evertonian. What kind of birthday is this? Still we?re Everton and we?ve seen it all. Moyes will walk in the morning, half the team will follow him in January, we?ve no money, that?s the season fucked, this pint glass is half-empty I?ll have to crack open another.

This sky fucker?s hardly going to mention us ? they?re too busy fawning around outside Old Trafford, peeking through the curtains (breaking news the United fans have already come up with a chant for Berbatov ? ?bell-ends?). I?m off to check the hyper web, just once more min... fuck, the site?s down, wonder could that mean? Doubt it. On the bright side it?s all over tomorrow ?cos I?ve had it right up to me sack with this transfer window.

And in other news.... "Everton have broken THEIR transfer record with the signing of Marouane Fellaini, the 6ft 4in Belgian international will join the Goodison Park outfit for a fee of ..... we don?t really care & now back to a group of goofy City fans... oh breaking news, David Gill just pulled down the blinds & I can tell you Joe Ledley will not be joining Stoke..." ? Sky bastards... and I?m on the phone waking me Dad.

Give me hope Marouane, before the morning comes, give me hope Marouane, hope Marouane, hope before the morning comes (or just after, either ways).

Best birthday in living memory and I can drink these pints with a different purpose. It?s going to be a long night, I wonder what vodka mixed with the wife?s floradex tastes like? Felliani ?Marouane? Felliaini I browse, ?Marouane? that gives me another idea...

Hey Dave, I posted meaning David Lynch; the off his head film producer (Blue Velvet, Inland Empire anybody?)
But then your reference to film may give knowledge to that... or indeed you are David Lynch the film producer... or we have just got our lines mixed.
Crazy post!

Nick.
I plan to recreate a derby game in the film.
All the RS players will be midgets ( Gotta have a midget in a DL film) except Pepe Raina, who will be a giant glove puppet. Rafa will be a giant Toad like lizzard who only grunts and farts.
We will be 27 nil up at half time.
To get a feel of what i want. Try Eraserhead.

Who said Evertonians have lost the will to laugh at themselves?
Well done Bradley, keep it up, and after tonight's EGM, I may be joining you on the Guinness, or something far stronger.

Well this one’s split the crowd almost as much as the DK topic.

I’ll be sending you a dry cleaning bill for these trousers as I hold you fully responsible for my trouser wetting... and £7 for the prescription (pills to help my painful sides).

Those of you who didn’t know what he was on about need to grow a brain.

Those of you who didn’t find it funny must be German.
