Sorry to be part of the 'conspiracy', but our table also shows Man Utd in 5th and us sitting below them in 6th place (equal with West Ham). Perhaps you're not looking at the full table, which should make it clear...

For teams that are equal on Points and Goal Difference (GD), the next differentiator is Goals For (F). Guess what: Man Utd have scored 6; we have scored only 4. That puts them above us. No conspiracy.

Half a pint of cider for £3.80. That would be even more shocking.

What really worries me though is how Kev J is progressing. Things seem to have gone very quiet since the window shut, or possibly the front door with locks changed following his trial in Southport.

And how Moyes could have gone for that nice Belgian lad Vadis Odjigja-Oboe, who we will never be able to pronounce, and who renders the spell-check useless, I have yet to work out. Early doors though. I can wait.

Isaac Newton. Possibly related to Keith and Henry (Michael please note EFC reference).

Eric - 'the press' is never going to give us anything. Many a so-called newspaper is fiction from front to back. They make money for their owners to keep their jobs. They live in the pockets of their 'sources', and also line those pockets. Its incest.

So never expect 'respect' from these people. Not part of the job. And in any case, part of our club's job is to take on their mates and beat them. Only then will they have to take any notice of us.

It was rumoured they where putting up the prices, it came from a reliable in-cider.

When the moon shines
On the cow shed
And we're rollin' in the hay
All the cows are out there grazing
And the milk is on its way.

I am a cider drinker
I drinks it all of the day
I am a cider drinker
It soothes all me troubles away
Oh arr oh arr aay
Oh arr oh arr aay.

It's so cosy in the kitchen
With the smell of rabbit'stew
When the breeze blows 'cross the farmyard
You can smell the cow sheds too.
(Oh, I've never smelt nothing like it in all my life!)

When those combine wheels stops turning
And a hard day's work is done
There's a pub around the corner
It's the place we have our fun.
(Arr, we'll have some fun 'n' all.)

I am a cider drinker
I drinks it all of the day
I am a cider drinker
It soothes all me troubles away
Oh arr oh arr aay
Oh arr oh arr aay.
(Come on, get a couple of pints down 'ere then!)

Now dear old Mabel
When she's able
We takes a stroll down Lover's Lane
And we'll sink a pint of Scrumpy
Then we'll play old nature's game.
(Ha ha ha!
Oo arr!)
But we end up in the duck pond
When the pub is sized to close
With me breeches full o' tadpoles
And the newts between me toes.

I am a cider drinker
I drinks it all of the day
I am a cider drinker
It soothes all me troubles away
Oh arr oh arr aay
Oh arr oh arr aay.
(Come on everyone, get up 'ere then!
Ha ha!)

I am a cider drinker
I drinks it all of the day
I am a cider drinker
It soothes all me troubles away
Oh arr oh arr aay
Oh arr oh arr aay
Oh arr oh arr aay
Oh arr oh arr aay.

Let cider be the spice of life!

I'm glad you bothered to post your annoyance at the price of beverages these days. I myself have been stung recently by a land lord who I can only imagine, had been sniffing glue.

£4.15 for a pint of Estrella... the beer of Barcelona it may be but I didn't think I was funding Messi salary.

"A large one?"

"Yes please, why not!" says I flushed with success after a good round.

"£6.50p please. Anything else?"

"Yes. A chair. I feel faint"

Although to be fair, that did include the deeds for the hotel. I think...

I only mentioned my horror and revulsion at the price of a pint of cider as I suspected a reaction to assist this thread. Not that I "Harp" on over these things (get it?).

Anyway, "Skol" holidays are over and I'm not "bitter" about the weekend result. Shame - but just a blip.

Those RS don't half "w(h)ine" on about things though.
"We've had no money to spend - not like yous lot."
"Suarez - it was defo a pen, like."
As usual, they can dish it out but can't take it.

I looked at him with a face that clearly said '10 euros for one fucking Heineken?!'

To be fair he was a bit embarrassed. Fair to say we didn't stay ther long!

Where the hell are some of you buying alcohol? Jesus.

Even in the trendy bars and restraunts you don't pay more than a 2 quid.

In my local it is 1.30 for a pint of tusker. I watched the Man U game there had 9 pints and a kilo of roasted goat for 15 quid. What a night.

In my local back home I can just about get 5 pints for that. Get yourself out here they have every game on DSTV, heaven.

Only Manchester United (54) have taken more shots than Everton (53) this season.
* They hit the target with only one of their 13 shots v West Brom on Saturday.
* Leighton Baines has created more chances for teammates (16) than any other PL player this season.

Bainsey is worth £20m all day long.
