Take it back about all the slagging off I Gave the board this should be the most exiting season for a long time. I think it will take a few games to get the players working together but I see no reason why we should'nt make 7th place and European football.

With Arnautovic, Hernandez and Keita deals looking ok would this be enough to satisfy our fans. For me if we can pull these deals off I will be very excited and rate this as our best windows for years. It will show the other teams the intent by our board to lift the club to the next level but what will it mean to some of our youngsters and will it have an effect on the likes of Noble, Carroll, Sakho, Byram and Adrian and Randolph. There are rumours that Adrian might go with Newcastle looking at him and Randolph being looked at by other clubs but for me I would keep Adrian and maybe let Randolph go out on loan just in case Hart decides next season to go elsewhere. Of those that hopefully are coming in Hernandez is the one that excites me the most, he is proven in the premier league, can score goals and is exciting to watch. Be interested if these deals come off what everyone's starting line up would be against Manu in the first round.

Who the Fricking hell is Baldy apparently he is our new striker from Lazio, some one else I've never heard of, hope he is as good as ZZZZZZZZZ za and lets hope he is up to Calleri's very high standard. I thought we were only going after proven premier strikers this season, please tell me that this transfer, is G&S having a Giraffe (laugh)
AS for Adriane and Randolph I cant split them I think that I would go fo Adriane but if he left for Palace and Premiership football I would 'nt blame him. I just hope Randolph dont end up at Newcastle and we end up losing the pair of them its World Cup year and this is not going to suit either of them, as Adriane has been capped recently for Spain and Randolph will want to keep his place if Ireland qualify. I wouldnt mind having a vote on this one Nev. Its Adriane for me, But leave Baldy out of it though!

Just seen that all the West Ham friendlies in Austria are being televised on Premier sports for£9.99 the 1st game is on Monday 17th July

Both these players say they want to stay in North London and fight for there place BUT Arsenal are shelling out 45 mill on Laccazette 50 on Lemar another 50 on Van Dijk so its obvious that the supporters are going to want to see their new signings so unless they are really unlucky with injuries and it does happen (look at Ayew) Walcott and Giroud are not even gonna get a game. Both of them want to play for their country, and I dont think Its going to be at Arsenal. So when these 2 see that they aint gonna get the chance to play for their country and it gets to the end of August and they still aint played, that when the frustration will creep in and these 2 will become available for 55mill Arsenal don't need them and Wenger will be looking to recoup some of their money back for Lemar and Co. Its a dodgy tatic Giroud and Walcott have both said they want to stay in London, kids about to start school if we got them then I'd say that was a good bit of Business but very risky. Will Giroud go to Everton at that stage of the window, and if they pay out for Siggusson I think they will be all spun out as they have really spent a shed load of doe this season, I think it it will all go down to the last day of the transfer window and it will be all about holding our nerve

and if not should the board resign?

Obviously we all know that they got a reported £75 million for Loukakou, but they spent 30 mill on Pilkington. Then bought Michael Keane and Klassen and it looks as though they are going to nick Giroud off us as well as putting in a bid for Sigusson for 32 mill
What worries me is we have all ready got rid of a lot of dead wood and a lot of money of the wage bill but when are we going to spend it? and replace Nordtvedt Valencia Calleri etc. It looks like we are going to have a very depleted squad, and in December I think its all going to hit the fan with at least 4or 5 first team players out ( If we are lucky!) there are 9 games in December and all our academy players will be out on loan, have we got the right strategy here? It seems to me that if we don't start signing now some of our Targets they are going to be gone, and we will be panic buying like we did with Zaza and Calleri Hate to say it but we don't seem to have learnt a f*cking thing from the mistakes we made from last season with Bacca. Wish our board showed the same commitment and belief as the one at Everton, I know time will tell, bla bla bla, but I think we are being to patient here, and its all right saying, "Keep Calm" and just lay back it will work out at the end of the transfer window, Slaven has his targets. But I for one are getting really worried and if SuGo dont put their hands in their pockets and spend about 70 mill, we are in his words going to be "Flirting with Relegation" and we fall by the wayside which is the Championship football. So wake up and lets see some thing positive. COYI

Tragic,puts life into perspective,just 6 years of age...R.I.P Little Man

More than a third of Premier League football fans say they regularly watch matches live online via unofficial streams, according to a recent BBC survey. The poll suggests younger adults are most likely to say they stream matches via unauthorised providers. Nearly a quarter of all fans surveyed regularly watch matches online via special technology, such as Kodi boxes.

In March, a High Court judge granted an order for the UK’s four biggest internet service providers to block access to online servers with football streams, making it harder for pirates to switch streams when they are shut down.

Last season saw the biggest drop in live Premier League TV viewing figures for seven years, hitting both Sky and BT. Sky saw a 14% drop, while viewing of BT channels dropped by 2%.

Sky is scrapping its numbered sports channels and replacing them with themed offerings focused on specific sports – led by football, golf and cricket – as it combats falling viewer numbers with a branding revamp and a cheaper viewing package.

The retirement of Sky Sports 1,2,3,4 and 5 and the introduction of a new package two-thirds cheaper than current prices represents a major shakeup of the strategy of Rupert Murdoch’s Sky a pay-TV powerhouse.

The new offering will result in the launch of themed channels, like Sky’s existing dedicated Formula One channel, for its top-flight sports including football – which will get two channels – golf and cricket. A new channel, Sky Sports Arena, will host other content including rugby and tennis.

A key part of the strategy is that it will let Sky entice new pay-TV subscribers reluctant to fork out up to £49.50 for its cheapest sports package. The new strategy will allow Sky to charge £18 for its cheapest package – although the whole Sky Sports bundle will remain a costly option.
In reality, the Premier League and Sky are fighting a losing battle with the illegal streamers which will only end one way.

The music industry took on the pirates and lost. Out of it came legal Itunes and Spotify. The film industry too tried to stop the pirates and out of the battle came Netflix and Amazon. The Premier League and clubs will soon have to accept that a legal way needs to found to stream all Premier League games to supporters in the UK and worldwide.

In the future, Premier League club themselves may sell their TV rights direct to supporters on legal streaming platforms either in a pay per view model or a season ticket for all games home and away.

i have only ever watched matches this way a few times as the constant freezing of the screen etc just put me off but the last paragraph in this article interests me greatly as i had amongst my friends been spouting about what supporters of all clubs would like and that is to see there own team play not man utd/liverpool/chelski tv which sky love showing...of course the option to watch big clashes would still be there for all but lets face it unless its your club you are only interested in watching other teams play when its against you..they have the tech to do this now so how difficult will it be to get fans to part with money for a season ticket to watch your favourite team.

You are a passionate Everton supporter, how would you feel about Rooney re joining the club ,all the talk this morning is about just that ,think i would be slightly pissed off ,all the abuse he got over the years for being a traitor ,remember the t shirt ,"once a Blue always a Blue "? The next season he was at Old Trafford ,how can they welcome him back with open arms ?l
