You may get your wish.

Don't kill us plea.

Unless forced to sell players, Everton should remain in the top half. They've a promising, young midfield in Fellaini, Rodwell and Barkley, but Fellaini will be well gone if Everton don't start winning. Troubling financial news for Evertonians though, the club is just such an unattractive buy with the 45 million in debt and the need for a new ground.

The bit about not wanting to be Blackburn is just Kenwright being a misguided Evertonian. For me, Blackburn is on the way up, and Everton, well, have some serious issues to address before pulling a Leeds and finding themselves in the third division.

Nothing to do with John Williams being best mates with Kenwright then.

Everton have a solid/decent squad plus, importantly, a good manager - their assistant manager Steve Round is highly regarded in the game too.

That's some serious optimism, right there. Blackburn being described as 'on the way up' is usually followed by 'in flames'.

Hope you're right...!

Chickens coming home to roost eh?

Barclays have come to their senses it seems and are calling their football debts in. Just a pity they and other banks lost them in the first place.

I hope Lukaku is a success at Chelsea after seeing this video

Good luck to the lad!

Surprised nobody mentioned we should go for Bullard after he was sacked by Hull

Been a bit of a naughty boy apparently!

[Stuart]

+1 for Lukaku, -1 for Bullard!

[Tom]

I approve of Newcastle being denied a pen, anything to wind up Barton is OK in my book

[HemelRover]

Bad news for us with Koschelmy(sp) going off after 15 mins for Arsenal?

I thought the same. Arsenal badly need central defenders.

[Ricky]

Still think they'll go for Dann first.

[John]

Brum have financial difficulties so the price may not be as high as initially suggested (for Dann)

[Amo]

Or Wenger will just sit on his hands, as per, and sign nobody.

[RovertheHill]

Dirty, dirty Arsenal. Couldn't be happier for Arsene Wenger after his years of moaning.

Watching this game, two of the biggest clubs in the country, spending lots of money and paying high wages, and it's just not very good. Best league in the world? No, I don't think so - just overpaid and overvalued

[Tom]

Frimpong looked class until the red.

That goal just sums up Arsenals luck at present

[Eddie]

2-0 down and game over. Arsenal look to be in big trouble. If they lose Nasri and don't bring in any quality players then they could easily be looking at a midtable finish.

West Brom beating Chelsea

Less than 5 minutes gone though

Reid having a good game for West Brom, Mulumbu looks even better though.

[cn174]

Mario makes some friends at last...

[alexanders]

Martin Jol not the best start either. Fulham lose 2--0 to wolves.

[Iceman]

Wolves go top I think

[Nelsta]

Friedel expected to be starting tonight for Spurs.

Macs with another £10mpa in the kitty, new training kit sponsor DHL.

Only 5 main shirt sponsors are higher in the PL.

There's been a few rumours about that.some say 4 million a year and some say 40 million a year.

'Frimpong'? Wasn't he a friend of Rupert Bear?
