Neither am I, if I'm honest.
It's actually quite pleasing that Beckham has been dropped. He's been a model professional for many years now, and I'm certain he wouldn't want to win his 100th cap for the sake of it; I am sure that he would rather earn that honour, but battling for his place. i.e. don't give him a cap just cus of the number, but give him it because he is the best we have, and, as such, it will mean a lot more.
Quote: Eat_My_Shirts @ February 1, 2008, 2:30 PMI remember when the coca-cola league cup used to have a special quality! And that wasn't even that long ago. Look at it now, it's just used by premiership clubs to give their reserve side a run out.
Although Everton took it quite seriously this year.
That reminds me, Everton also lost a League Cup Final (after a replay) against Liverpool, during the 6-year period I referred to in my last post. Oh, and we were League Runners-up behind them twice during that time as well!! Thankfully, those years also saw us managing to WIN two League titles, and the European Cup Winner's Cup, along with the the F.A. Cup I mentioned. It'll be a long time before we have another 6 years like those.
By the way, I didn't realise that editing a post made it appear back to the top of the forum. Is this a new thing? I don't remember it happening before.
No, no changes have been made.

It only happens when yours is the last post in a thread. I've studied it.

I'm really surprised that Liverpool went to such lengths to stop Everton playing in the European Cup.
Don't depress me! That whole thing had a massive effect on us. We had the best team in our history, and missed out on the big one (and it really was big in those days, as this was back when only the winners of Europe's respective leagues were allowed to compete). It also led to us eventually losing our manager, Howard kendall, and our biggest star, Gary Lineker (after he had just scored an amazing 40 goals in the league, and had beaten Diego Maradona to the Golden Boot, at the World Cup), who both gave in to the temptation of getting their deserved chance of competing in Europe back, the only way they could, by leaving Everton and England, and going to Spain.
Looks like I've just put this back at the top of the forum, by coming back to add a new sentence to this last post.
