Shampoo advert mane.
A monument to the hairdressing profession.

Pretty sure our budget and an extensive list of targets will already have been agreed with FDB during the process which preceded yesterday's announcement. Along with a list of secondary targets if our first choices fall through. Time is of the essence and I doubt a high-profile manager would agree to join in the absence of a considerable commitment from the club.

All-knowing, all-seeing

Parish is still the best dressed man, you don't wear the same colour shirt as your jacket Frank, at least he didn't have a black tie as well like Chris Tarrant on Millionaire - I liked his nod to pragmatism - win first philosophy second - he wasn't looking forward to splurging cash and that was b*ll*x from the beeb (stop arguing like c*nts please - the mods shud be stopping s***e like this - soooooooo boring), and he never referred to us as Cryshtal Palash or the Eaglesh so his English is coming on nicely.

EFA

Now I have lived in England for a while, but I would not consider that good English.... Mind you, there is a chap at Everton who really is "tenenkrommend" (toe bending) as we say in Dutch

You are right with the danger of taking things literally. I liked the interview he gave. I shall be honest: I am not at all sure he is a good fit for us, but I do think he is a decent bloke. Lets hope he proves me wrong!

The Dutch and the Germans (for example) often speak better English than we do because they give a t0$$ about grammar and correctness whereas many English speakers do not. However, English as a language is heavily dependent on nuance and subtleties in its vocabulary and usage and it is difficult to be really in tune with all that if you are not a native speaker, notwithstanding that English probably has more non-native speakers worldwide than any other language.
