The Mail Bag

Latest on Leighton

I've just read (on bbc) that not only has that corrupt barcode bulldog chewing a wasp beat us to the signing of Alan Smith, he's also trying to gazump our bid to land Bainesy!

I left my job today... some of the lads there bought me a nice bottle of malt ('Oban' for the connoisseurs out there)... the top has just been popped off.

I have a bottle of Oban on top of my fridge. I’m saving it for a rainy day, and I know theres been alot of them lately.

Im sorry to say that I’ve lied to you. The Oban is gone, I drank it. The bottle on top of my fridge is in fact ’Strathisla’

Im so sorry.

It seems that the Barcodes transfer strategy is wait and see who Everton are interested in and then bid for these players. Parker, Smith and now Baines! Still doesn’t seem to do them much good if Scott Parker’s form at St James’ is anything to go by.

It’s a fucking joke. It’s a another false bid by BK. His upto his old antics again. It’s another smoke screen to keep us fans happy. BK do we look fucking happy? Where has all the Sky money gone? We haven’t bought any new players apart from Jag. We haven’t cleared the clubs debt. We haven’t built a new stadium. So where’s has the money gone?? Answers on a postcard please!!!

I must admit, if we miss out on Baines this club will look like a joke, especially as he was clearly at the Bremen game and fans hopes have grown about the signing.

I belive Bk has invested it all in a new saturday night tv program. Dont know what its caled yet but from what i hear, they will pick be holding auditions to find a new rooney, shortlist then go on telly and show thier skills with the winner getting a year contract with LFC & £60k per week - BK stunning plan is to offer the runners up a contact with Everton a free shirt and a voucher for KFC

the only way we’ll get Baines, is if the sale of Beattie goes through. That also depends if Newcastle don’t beat us to his signature. What else do you expect from a club that’s run by a bunch of puppets???

I live in Newcastle. I’ll pick up the local Gazzette, if there’s any news regarding Baines and Newcastle, i’ll keep Toffeeweb informed.

Matt Jansen’s kicking about on a free transfer isn’t he?

I know his fitness is questionable but he would be alright for nothing wouldn’t he?

Fuck it(although a little tipsy)...i’m available! I played as a schoolboy for Chester as a lad and although i’m not as quick maybe as i once was (now 25) i reckon i’d have the beating of VDM...drunk or not!

I play three times a week, I could do a job even if I do say so myself.

Do you think there will be a new stand at Kirkby called the Tesco Value stand?

Steve Claringbold
12 Posted 03/08/2007 at 17:16:32

Sean, nost of the time VDM is pissed himself so nobody would ever know if you were as well.

Will we get clubcard points everytime we buy a seat in the Tesco Value stand?

Will they sell Tesco own range sandwiches?

These questions need answered.

(latter stages of drunkardness...reminiscing!)

...When there was a rumour about 10yr ago that we were gonna be sponsored by the dogfood company ’pal’. I rememebr taking a load of shit from the reds i knew at the time...they’re gonna be ripping us for years if we get moved to that friggin’ tescodome!

Get used to those uncomfortable seats Al, that’s what they’re putting in the Tesco Value stand.

With a melancholic laugh...haha. As funny as everything appears through Oban-goggles, this stadium things done my head in.

For me it’s a travesty that the majority of supporters have let/are letting the crude American sports’ style of economics uproot OUR CLUB as if it was just some wall-mart sweat-shop or summit!

Further to my earlier posting,my impecable source says that when Dave Whelan signed off tonight he had got Everton’s bid up to £5.8M but that was their final offer.Bet he’ll take it if his RL team lose tomorrow!

The Tescodome will be used in the summer as a baseball park.

Incidentally, I know where all the moneys gone. Everton have been buying players, unfortunately those players are playing for the Everton Tigers basketball team.

Hope he does take the £5.8m Mac.But for the sake of another 200k,we could have probalby signed him up over the weekend.
