It appears that the Toffees were either outbid or failed to land a number of transfer targets this summer. Everton fans certainly don’t appear to be particularly happy with the lack of activity on deadline day, and it appears as though it will be an uphill struggle to finish in fifth place again this season.

It’s not much fun being a County fan at the moment. The Rams were a laughing stock in the Premier League last season, winning just one match all term.

Newcastle United manager ‘happy to have striker back’ after Ipswich deal falls through: Do you agree?

by stresster on August 26th, 2008 | 257 words | 3 comments

With Michael Owen, Mark Viduka and Obafemi Martins at the club, Newcastle are seemingly blessed with attacking quality, although injury seems to be persistent for the former two players.

Glenn Roeder may have the appearance of a fourth grade geography teacher, but you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of the Norwich manager. The former Newcastle and West Ham gaffer has done a tremendous job at Carrow Road to date, and he’s managed to keep them in the division as a result […]
