It's a fine line but I think Howard has far too many "he should /could have saved that" moments in Everton's big games.

Agree with the first part - but you're a really task master if you think he 'should' have saved van persies effort. If he had saved it, which I agree was not impossible it would have been a fabulous save however, it was taken quickly and with power and on the rise from relatively close range - most keepers wouldnt have smelt it!!

I guess so, for those of you who still rely on wind up clocks.

Either way, Betfair doesn't take bets on predicting what time it is :D ....sorry, can't find a "smug" emoticon.

And, no, I didn't place any money on the Robbie Keane nonsense "prediction" from Talksport! Curious though if it affected the market?

....... anyway.

It looks like City are trying to play hardball. I cant say I really blame them. just like Chelsea a few years ago, as soon as they go for any player the prices get inflated.
10m is a bit too much I think and 5m is too little. It makes me think what a bargain United got when they nicked Van Der Saar for 2m!

Looks like its going to happen, Given wants to go, City Want him and Newcastle are giving permission to talk!

I think it'd be a great move for him...Class act, and still going strong. Anything that helps him to keep going with Ireland is good imo

Looks like Shay is trying to break the deadlock over his move to Man City by submitting a transfer request

Bellamy �14m Shay �5. I guess they want to get what they can as he's out of contract but the deal is for more than �5m.

According to the BBC Shay has signed a 4.5 year contract with Manchester City for an undisclosed fee.

Good luck to him - hope City sign some more players so they give Shay a chance to win a trophy or two.

At least now our number 1 goalkeeper will have a chance of having a good defence in front of him, I am suprised with the length of time he spent in newcastle trying to patch up Newcastle leaking wall,
I really do think they could be in trouble now, Duff should have jumped ship
