I would take an Ambien.

I frequently have to, after having watched Altidore play for the National team.

They don't call him Dozy Altidore for nothing

You always know what I mean....even when you're coy about it on other threads.

Thanks bud. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

With that said, I'd like to send a big F you to the entire Everton squad (including Martinez) for continually coming up short in major competitions and playing like absolute crap for a better part of two months now in in PL play. This is beyond frustrating for me a fan. I'd say sell the whole lot of them. End of rant.

Imagine, In an alternate universe somewhere, Danny Graham, Adebayor and Altidore are playing upfront In a three pronged strike force.

They could t strike a match between them!

I love Tim Howard, and I respect the hell out of him, but he's really starting to look his age at times. His timing and quickness are definitely not what they used to be, and Martinez is showing some misguided loyalty toward playing him when his game is not up to par. I think he will walk at the end of the season. I truly believe he's one of the best things to have happened to Everton in the last decade or so, and I will always have fond memories of him playing there.
With that said, I think it's time for a little bit of an overhaul for this squad because it's obvious that we cannot compete with the big boys in the league as currently constructed.

Thanks for the heads-up as I otherwise would have missed recording it. I’m a little embarrassed to admit to you UKers that prior to 2008, I didn’t even know who they were, much less could even spell them correctly , until a Tottenham Hotspur F.C. supporter educated me …

My only saving grace to the film nerds was that I knew the relatively obscure fact that there was a fellow in London having a film recorder capable of handling 15 perf IMAX.

Apparently you’re in Broward County? We (my family) keep a place across Alligator Alley on the water in Naples, but it’s not quite as nice as it used to be before it became *discovered* by all the snow birds.

I didn’t know Tim has slowed, but I’m sensing that after his playing days are over he’s preparing himself for a future career in commentating (on soccer matches)….something I would personally really like because I feel most American announcers and commentators vastly underperform compared to their British counterparts. My current favorites are Arlo White with Lee Dixon and/or Graeme Le Saux. I’ve learned a lot of tactics listening to them speak. Americans announcing the MLS league matches do nothing for me.
