    We know what we are” Declan's post on his Instagram stories regarding the anniversary of our European success last year... A nice thing to do and I still like him 😀

    I will always hold him in the highest regard, also sets a perfect example on and off the pitch at a time when kids need good examples to follow. Hearing him get booed at Arsenal was one of the saddest thing a section of our supporters have done.

    I see a member of the Saudi royal family is involved in a consortium to buy Everton. Assume if it goes ahead Everton will join Newcastle in supporting City’s legal foray against the PL.

    Everton has quite a few prospective owners, there's a couple of local businessmen who are Everton supporters, an investment company owned by the founder of Dell computers who loaned Everton money in the past, an American who has a stake in Crystal Palace and another American who owns Roma,

    I don't think Everton fans care who owns their club, they just want someone to sort out the financial mess the current owners have created so they aren't struggling against relegation for a fourth season in a row or facing another points deduction

    Mostly for Mrs Grey but all cryptic crossword fans welcome to have a go at this clue I solved this morning.
    'I'm forever blowing bubbles' like East Ender reportedly not enamoured of hippy musical
    ( 7 letters )
  • Brother_SledgeBrother_Sledge
    Reportedly suggests it sounds like they hate Hair (musical) = hair hater. East Ender drops their aitches so sounds like air ater = aerator which can blow bubbles . Simples

    Excellent!!

    Sorry not to respond. I saw the clue you posted, got as far as dropping aitches and sounds like Hair (was thinking to work with 'are') when the guys fitting my new kitchen worktop arrived and ruined my day.

    Did they not get it fitted ok then?

    That's the thing with these cryptic clues that I have difficulty with; "not enamoured" means "dislike or disapprove of" rather than hate.
    I'll just have to stick to the picture puzzles. =)

    Its ok now.
    Took just over 7 hours to sort it out.
    The day's plans were scuppered!

    Sorry Mrs G not to give more time as you were nearly there. Agree with Buffy that it's not the neatest of clues but with the West Ham vibe I couldn't not post it.

    Alvarez had to be helped off with what appeared to be a hamstring after 30 minutes of Mexico's match with Jamaica
  • stevesteve
    Saw the game .did not look good seemed in pain .Or perhaps just upset hard to tell .
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Suggestiions that it's a serious hamstring tear and he'll be out for 3 months. Typically means he'll miss all of pre-season (which many have felt he needed as he struggled to get through games last season) and the start of the season too. As if we didn't have enough problems .

    Perhaps Flynn might be required more than had anticipated, if deemed good enough by new boss....

    It's a bit of a problem though; Southampton apparently want him, but they're not gonna wait around forever and if we stall too long to give J-Lo a chance to run the rule over him, they may sign someone else instead. Given how well he played for them last season, you'd think that if we are going to offload him, we're likely to get the best price from them.

    We need another CM full stop. Downes could be 15m towards that.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    If Soton actually paythat. We should give them Ings. If we mess them about we may have to keep Ings!

    A real shame for him, but a good rest is also probably what he needs

    Could be 3 months out and no pre season. So possibly not so good.
  • alderzalderz
    Yeah, of course, if it's that big an injury that would be a problem. Taking that tweet at face value though, if he misses Copa America but it's not a 'big' injury, that seems that it's not serious enough to take his whole pre-season away.

    Doubt most of our internationals on duty will have much of a pre season anyway, maybe just a couple of weeks holiday.

    The Sun rolling with Shaq O Neal looking to invest in West Ham. That's up there with the most completely left field things I have heard regarding West Ham.

    C&H reporting that Alvarez's injury is not as bad as first thought and he could be 5-6 weeks rather than 3 months as initially feared

  • Ravel49Ravel49
