Who did the fans and players want? I bet they wanted someone of the stature of Mourinho didnt they?. Liverpool fans are so deluded.

Kenny Dalglish.

[GiRTh]

Kenny Dalglish.But he's already on the board right? Why not have him as Director of Football and give a young manager the chance?

[MissKittyFantastico]

Who did the fans and players want? I bet they wanted someone of the stature of Mourinho didnt they?. Liverpool fans are so deluded.

Dalglish. He really wanted the job but they told him not to even bother applying because they didn't want him. He works in the youth academy and is club ambassador as well.

I agree they are deluded, they looked down their nose at Roy and thought he wasn't big enough to manage their club. Poor guy didn't stand a chance.

Funny thing is Mourinho has said on record that he wouldn't touch Liverpool with a barge pole, said he'd rather manage Everton or Villa or a club like that. Reckons Liverpool is cursed or something :laugh:

[DDRickyDD]

Apparently, no matter what the result of their Europa game tonight, Roy Hodgson has been told he must resign as Liverpool manager. Frank Rijkaard is reportedly going to be announced as their new manager.

Where did you hear that from?

[MissKittyFantastico]

Where did you hear that from?

Originally from my mate who knows someone that works at Melwood (Liverpool's training ground) but it's been all over the internet today.

[Mystic Mock]

Hodgson needs to be at a mid-table side, our expectations are too high for him.

Carragher off injured, never thought I'd say this but it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

And David Ngog vs Cannavaro, Ngog's going to score tonight and prove himself as a top class striker :)

rafa benitez killed liverpool,plus no money to spend.

[Locke.]

Benitez was a good manager, he just had one bad season. If he was still with us now we wouldn't be so low in the league.

Old school baby.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Rooney has just signed a new 5 year contract keeping him at Utd until 2015.

Looks like all that bull**** about wanting to leave was just to secure better terms for himself. Fair play I suppose. Still a gob****e though.

[MissKittyFantastico]

He's made Fergie look like a fool, never thought I would see the great man have to bow and scrape to keep a player, people are right when they say the players and agents hold too much power these days. Also shows what a dire situation United are in, no money for new world class players (which is apparently why Rooney wanted to leave, funny what a difference being offered a shed load more money makes though eh?) mahoosive debts, they're definitely on the slide.

I'm just relieved it's all over tbh but Fergie deffo has pulled off a masterstroke to end this farce quick enough for everyone:p.

[setanta]

What an absolute farce.

[Mystic Mock]

rooney and fergie probably came up with this story together and then in the last miniute rooney signs.

[alc09]

Well said, Ian Holloway. I've just watched that press conference and every word of it's true, he's got it spot on and brought the whole thing back down to reality.

It's amazing how, at that level, it's all about player power. It's not about the club, the fans or the passion. How can you, like Holloway, said sign a three or four year deal and, a year or two in, decide that you're ****ing off? How?

Wayne Rooney is a silly, overrated player with no class who's become a spoilt, obnoxious **** and he's being horribly, horribly advised.

No doubt the United 'fans' will change their opinion from him being a useless scouse **** to being a top quality player again. :rolleyes:

[setanta]

and so what happens to the statement Rooney made a few days ago? Is that suddenly forgotten about? Such an absolute joke.

[GiRTh]

His agent must have engineered it. Even though I agree with Holloway you have to ask how Alex Ferguson, of all people, was out manoeuvred like this. Ten years ago Rooney would have already been out the door.

[MissKittyFantastico]

The difference is 10 years ago, United weren't in the **** like they are now financially, they weren't relying so heavily on two players in Giggs and Scholes who are surely in their swansong season or near to it, if Rooney was sold would Fergie even see a decent chunk of the money for new players or would it all go towards paying off some of the massive debts they have? Fergie's hands were tied and Rooney being the disloyal little gob****e that he is, has just played a blinder. It's everything that's wrong with the game today.

The Man U fans are so fickle, they'll go from some of them lying in wait for him outside his house ready to lynch him, to chanting his name like the dumb sheep they are again next time he plays. He's played the whole lot of them like fools.

[Locke.]

Are Utd fans going to forgive him?

[setanta]

Not sure David. The next match at Old Trafford with him playing will be very interesting.

Tranmere in trouble again, could really do with a win against Walsall tomorrow. Might actually go to a few of their games this season they aren't that far away from me.

Have a feeling Torres will get that long overdue goal. Don't think we should play him up front on his own either, Ngog deserves another start in the league.

[bbfan1991]

I like Big Sam, he's from the same town as Wagner! (random fact):joker:.

Kitty what do you think of the Toffee's chances against Spurs and going OT did you watch SD?;).

Well we don't know if Arteta is gonna be fit yet, got to have a late fitness test, Pienaar is recovered from his groin strain though so that's a bonus :) I think it'll be a tough game tbh, I would usually say whoever scores the first goal and keeps the momentum will go on to win but after the way they came back in the week through Bale....I reckon we can nick it though if we play like we have the past couple of games.

I have a confession, I haven't watched any wrestling for weeks :blush:

Yep I'm happy at the moment, we've got the best goal difference outside the top 5, if we can keep the clean sheets and keep scoring that could make all the difference come the end of the season ;) Better than last year when we were on -6 after the first game :joker:

Is that when Ashley Young is moving to Wolves?

[King Gizzard]

No that is when we sign all the best talent from the French league

[King Gizzard]

The Irish on here should be happy, Ciaran Clark has opted to play for Ireland instead of England (hes good enough to play for England) he only has an Irish grandparent or something, but yeah, hes great, and he ll probably play with Dunne for many moons to come (you can get rid of McShane yipee)

We don't have any money (surprise surprise), although Moysey has his eye on one or two young strikers from abroad he could get on the cheap/on loan but apparently the door is open for Landon to come back on loan again, and he wants to so long as he feels fit enough so that will do me nicely, made a huge difference to us last season :)

It would be nice to have him back but it's a shame that he can't be bought permanently as he is the main face of MLS (Beckham aside).

Oh I would be straight out buying another shirt and putting his name on it :laugh: I think they would possibly let him go but it would cost waaaaay too much for a 28 year old, well 29 by the end of this season. They priced him at £10 million before the WC, would probs be more like 15+ they'd want now. Not gonna happen.

[30stone]

Amazing free kick from Baines..


Howard what you playing at :( ****ing hate vdv

[MissKittyFantastico]

I'll take that point, terrible mistake from Howard to let them equalise but Bainsey's free kick was amazing.

They were better in the first half, we looked panicky and not composed on the ball really, second half was all about both team's defense, both had chances but good defending from both sides. Fair result and we move up to 9th place for a couple of hours at least :hugesmile:

Van der Vaart is a knob. Just had to get that in there.

Getting worried about our injury list again, Yak limped off today as well as Coleman, Arteta out, Heitinga, Cahill, and Jags all not 100%, Rodwell, Anichebe, Osman, Fellani, all out for a few weeks at least. Starting to look like last year.

Still, unbeaten and only 1 goal conceded in last 4 games, happy enough with that all things considered :)

[DDRickyDD]

How bad were West Ham? They couldn't even pass to their teammates in that 2nd half. Preston won against Palace despite nearly throwing away a 4-1 lead, limping over the line 4-3. Swansea kept up their good form and moved into 3rd, they look like a good team and could be the first Welsh team to play in the Premier League.

Tomorrow, I think Stoke City will 'Stokify' Man United. The match will either end in a draw or a Stoke win, can't see Man United winning. Liverpool will lose 3-1 at home to Blackburn and Roy Hodgson will be sacked and replaced with Rijkaard after the match in my opinion. Celtic will be beatan 3-0 at home in the 'Old Firm' derby. And Man City will beat Arsenal with Arsenal have all the possession but not managing to score enough goals.

[30stone]

As much as i want to be above united i would rather see the scum lose today.


I would love if we could draw or beat city would really prove haters wrong about us..

Boss Roy Hodgson has been handed a £60 million transfer warchest.

The Reds boss can splash £30m in January's transfer window, after thrashing out the financial package in top-level talks with the club's new American owners, John W Henry and Tom Werner.

There will be a further £30m advance for the summer sales and Hodgson has earmarked the defence as his main problem area.

birmingham have got to keep picking up 3 points in the next 3 to 4 games.

[DDRickyDD]

Gareth Barry is an incredibly ordinary footballer, not sure why he is any where near the England side.

Perhaps it's because the manager likes his accent?

200+ million spent and they're still sh*t!

S***? Their 4th in the league. Do you expect them to never lose a game?

Feyenoord suffered an incredible 10-0 defeat at PSV Eindhoven in Sunday's Dutch league action, making it the team's worst Eredivisie loss ever.

Feyenoord will be relegated in my opinion. They have sold all their best players due to their massive debt and have to play 18-21 year old's from the youth team.

Fair play to the United fan on the pitch after their winner at Stoke, superb stuff.

He will probably be banned for life now as it's illegal to enter the pitch.

Ashley Young would be a great signing..
I think You should go for Fernando Llorente 6 goals already this season (second in la liga) would work great with torres and a great attacking option.

Glad Cardiff won the Leeds 4-0 and now level with QPR:D.

Smashing it 10 goals, double messi...

Would be good as most likely would be a free signing.

I think Stevie P will go abroad Ben, Spurs are after him as well, as they were in the summer but I think unless we qualify for Europe he'll be off to somewhere like Juventus, who are reportedly interested, rather than another team in the PL.

Arsène Wenger believes Samir Nasri has everything.

The French midfielder has been one of Arsenal’s most consistent performers this season, scoring seven times in his last seven appearances including the opening goal in the 3-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.

Wenger insists Nasri’s impact at important moments added to his obvious natural ability mean he has become vital to the Arsenal team.

“When you analyse Samir Nasri he has all the qualities and he now adds efficiency to his game and that makes him a great player,” said the manager.

“He scores goals, he gives assists, he can go one against one, he can pass, he is all that you dream to have as a football player.

“I am convinced [he is a better player than when he came here] because he is more efficient in creating chances, in the final balls, his vision has improved and he is quicker playing forward.”

Goal.com UK has learned that the Uruguayan striker is targeting a move to England after setting his heart on a return to the Premier League when the transfer window re-opens.

It is understood Atletico are reluctant to sell the former Manchester United flop but both Liverpool and Spurs have been made aware of the £15 million-rated striker's availability.

I should hate this guy... Ex Utd player, knocked us out the Europa League in the semi final last year... But I'd love for him to sign for us, He is a bit old to be spending 10+ million on though.

[30stone]

Arsenal done well Fabregas made the difference.


Our keeper was nothing short of awesome. Kosilnchy or whatever was also quality.


Walcott and Bendtner finding great form.

Van Persie and Vermaelen back within 3 weeks, its looking up,



on another note, Joey barton went in on Fabregas to hurt him, there was intent no doubt! Horrible *****.

[bbfan1991]

I haven't saw any of the highlights due to watching The Apprentice but well done Arsenal:D.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Forlan would be an amazing signing for you David. £15 million for a 31 one year old though? If you could get him for say 9 it would be worth it though I reckon, he's got probably another 3/4 years before he starts to lose form.

Good win for Arsenal again. Fabregas and Walcott had a great game.

[DDRickyDD]

In the League Cup draw, Man United will get Ipswich at home while Arsenal will get Aston Villa at Villa Park. You just watch...

[30stone]

Now to west ham, last time was 2 - 0 up and drew 2 - 2 to west ham hopefully we get a better result.

Estimated dates for injured players..

Robin Van Persie - November 7th.
Thomas Vermaelen - November 10th.
Aaron Ramsey - End of November
Manuel Almunia - October 30th.
Frimpong - The whole season.

Will be glad when its down, wont be able to hide behind the fact we dont have a full squad when we lose games though, Chelsea 9/10 players injured 6 of which were starting 11.

That is the team that will win the Champions league, the only team in a top flight league in Europe with an 100% record, Valencia were lucky not to lose 3 or 4-0 but they won't be so lucky at their ground, Kenny Miller hat trick 3-0 and then united will be destroyed as well. Arsenal will be ripped apart in the last 16

Unbeaten season so far and 100% record in the league, Arsenal would be shaking in their boots after witnessing what rangers did to celtic last sunday

[bbfan1991]

What laughable rumours linking United with Pepe Reina:rolleyes::laugh2:.

ToMo got the Boro job then, he's worked with half of that squad before but still got a hell of things to do:).

[DDRickyDD]

I don't think Arsenal would beat Rangers at the Emirates because Rangers would put everyone behind the ball and defend all match. It would probably end 0-0.

[30stone]

Arsenal would beat Rangers, and absolutely demolish Celtic.

[Novo]

Kenny Miller 13 goals in 12 games, The Poor arsenal defence would be ran ragid

[30stone]

Aaron Ramsey returns to action against everton reserves in 10 days time, but.. is unlikely to make first team until the new year.


Van persie though could be back within 2 weeks.

[30stone]

Defoe And Robin Van Persie could both be back to play the North london Derby at the Emirates.

Thomas Vermaelen Remains out.

Ledley king has no return date yet.
Dawson and Woodgate are both sidelined for now.

[bbfan1991]

I wonder how Khumalo will do for Spurs?, he impressed playing for South Africa at the World Cup:).

[DDRickyDD]

He'l be rubbish in my opinion.

Arsenal will easily beat West Ham 2-0 with goals from Nasri. Chelsea will beat Blackburn 2-1 after coming from behind. Everton and Fulham will both beat Stoke and Wigan. Man City will beat Wolves 1-0. Tottenham will take the lead against Man United but Man United will get a penalty late on because Crouch will look at the referee wrong. Man United will then miss it but the referee will ask it to be taken again due to to him missing. They will then score it.

In the Championship, Cardiff will draw 0-0 with Norwich. Swansea will continue their good run by beating relegation favourites Crystal Palace 5-0. Preston will draw 4-4 with Leicester after Preston beaing 3-0 and 4-3 up. Barnsley and Hull will be share a boring 0-0 draw with both Yorkshireman beaing happy with the point.

Everyone rush to bookies you could all become millionaires if you follow my tips.

Chelsea 1 - 0 down..

Arsenal get a late winner through alex song 1 - 0

Chelsea get 2 back beating blackburn 2 -1

Wolves get a great win against man city 2 - 1

Everton beat stoke 1 - 0

Fulham beat wigan 2 - 0 thanks to a double from dempsey.

[30stone]

4 - 3 to Reading might actually watch the league 1 show tonight lol.

[30stone]

Reading into play off positions.. keep going :)

[Mark]

Good for Reading.

Weird how they were 3-1 down and looking to be in 13th post game. Yet they come back and win 4-3 and move into 6th. That's how close the Championship is at the moment.

[30stone]

Good times, just like liverpool..

If they were to win they move up to 8th..

if the win 7 - 0 they move into 7th lol.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Not a great game for us tbh, although we played some really good football at times, but I hate Stoke even more now. Time wasting after 40 minutes played when the score is 0-0 - really?!! Disgusting, dirty, negative, time wasting assholes, I hope they go down.

On the plus side, feed the Yak and he will score!!! Hopefully he'll start banging them in for fun now. And we're up to 7th :) Could do with all the games tomorrow being a draw.

Glad United won:D, Nani should have been booked for going down and a free kick should have been given to Spurs but it was given and as a fan you want luck to be on your teams side;).

Rubber Gob shouldn't have been allowed to go mouthing off to the linesman either when the ref went over to talk to him. It's this sort of crap that makes me hate Man U.

It's harsh but you have to play till the final whistle;). Besides if the roles were reversed and Spurs were 1-0 up at OT but were given that goal they wouldn't be complaining but the goal should not have been given:nono:.

I just don't like negative teams, same applies to Wolves, although they did well today beating City (anyone who beats them I'll be happy for!) :hugesmile:

Hmmm yeah I agree, we have got players all over the park who can score goals, but at times again today I thought we were gonna have one of those games where we couldn't find the back of the net. If Yak came back into the form of his first season with us I wouldn't be so concerned. Would need him to be banging them in to get decent money for him if he wanted to go, Saha wouldn't bring us much return, only player who would right now who has spoken about maybe leaving is Heitinga, would pick Fellani over him any day anyway, and we could get a decent striker with that money. Or we could play Landon as striker short term when he comes back in Jan ;)

Yakubu has always been a decent player:), shame the injuries he has had last couple of seasons got in the way. Beckford has a lot to prove, however that Seamus Coleman is very impressive:D.

[DDRickyDD]

What's so funny?

Liverpool will take the lead against Bolton but Bolton will come back to win 2-1. Aston Villa will beat Birmingham with a last minute winner and Newcastle will beat Sunderland 2-1.

Problem with Yak is he's got a tendency to be a lazy bastard :laugh: Moyes has said he's given him a kick up the backside since he came back from the WC, and it seems to be working, for now. Not sure if Beckford will come good or not, he needs game time, maybe in the FA Cup depending on how far we get.

And Seamus is a cracking little player :) That loan spell at Blackpool did wonders for him.

Everton have agreed terms with Azerbaijan teen sensation Araz Abdullayev, his club Neftchi Baku have confirmed.

The 18-year-old midfielder will start on an initial three-year contract, with the option for two more seasons, when the transfer window opens in January.

The move is subject to a work permit, but his status as an emerging talent who was capped internationally at just 16 stands in him good stead and Neftchi expects no problems.

Sportsmail first revealed Everton’s interest in July and Neftchi say an agreement was reached after talks at the weekend.

Abdullayev has signed a preliminary agreement, which should be formalised in the next 10 days, and his club will only receive a substantial fee if he catches the eye in England.

Neftchi vice-president Tahir Suleymanov said: ‘We did not plan to earn from Araz Abdullayev because our concerns are about the development of Azerbaijani football. But if he moves from Everton to another club, Neftchi will receive some of the fee.’

Abdullayev shot to prominence when scoring for his country’s Under 21s against Scotland.

And, after 2 red cards, 2 substitutions, a halt in play for the penalty and he adds on just 2 minutes?! With no strikers on the pitch, we need to us Brunt's accuracy efficiently the second half. We're not completely out of it yet.

Timmy Cahill is the best header in the game. It's official :)



"If the law of averages prevails then the corner flag at the Stadium of Light will be in for a serious beating in a few weeks’ time.

In theory, Blues midfielder Tim Cahill would have just maintained his ratio of notching a headed goal every 6.4 Premier League games and the Aussie will be celebrating in familiar style.

Following his headed goal in the dying moments at Birmingham City last month, Cahill now has 27 headed goals in 174 appearances in the top flight.

And that ratio of one every 6.4 games makes him officially the most lethal header of a ball since the Premier League began in 1992.

Not even famed exponents of the booming header like Alan Shearer or Blues legend Duncan Ferguson found the net with their head as regularly as the 5ft 10ins hitman.

“It came as a bit of a surprise to me to find out, but it is something I am very, very proud of,” Cahill told the Evertonian. "It is massive honour, but it isn’t something that happens on its own.

“It happens with the help of the players I have around me. I always talk about Bainesy, and he is very important to me, but it is the whole team as well.

"Players like Phil Neville and Mikel Arteta, the whole team in fact – they all provide me with the opportunities to score. So as long as I can keep doing it, great.”

A glance at the top 10 shows that not only is Cahill is the only midfielder, he is one of only two on the list who are under six-foot tall.

He puts his aerial excellence down to two things - footballing intelligence and, more importantly, practice.

“I suppose I started young and scored a lot of headed goals as a youngster and I worked hard. I was scoring goals with my head long before I was at Everton, even before Millwall, when I was back in Australia.

“Working on my technique, doing basic training with Steve Round, getting crosses in with Bainesy, Phil Neville, Seamus or whoever, these are all things which help me.

“Working hard on your fitness is important too to keep you going and to make sure you keep making the runs when someone else is tired and blowing.

“It is all about timing also,” he added. “You watch the greats like Lineker, Shearer and Platt and they were great players who arrived late into the box.

“I think for me, I just never give up. I am always trying to make that run at the right time. People may think I have got no hope of getting there and suddenly the ball hits the back of the net. It is all about making sure I make the right run.”

The earlier mention of Leighton Baines is also telling. Another staggering statistic shows that of Cahill’s last 15 goals for Everton, nine have been supplied by the left back.

Everton's Tim Cahill has been assisted in nine of his last 15 goals by teammate Leighton Baines


It’s a contribution which hasn’t escaped the attention of the grateful recipient.

“Bainesy is an exceptional player,” he says. “I think I'm lucky because I've got a relationship with him where we work together a lot on the pitch to try to make things happen.

“But I think I am lucky as well because he's got that special left foot which can create chances and put those chances on a plate - hopefully for myself to finish.

“He's a great player and someone who is not only effective in defending but going forward as well - he does give us that different dimension.

“I'm very happy to have someone like that on my side because I rely on him a hell of a lot.”

[bbfan1991]

Yes United won 3-0 in Turkey:), well done to Spurs too beating Inter Milan at White Hart Lane!:D.

[30stone]

Thought rangers would lose today, valencia to much flair even without the star players

[bbfan1991]

I had to miss the matches due to having work to do:(, saw goals on the news but I can watch Arsenal or Chelsea tomorrow:laugh2:.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Spurs did well tonight! Decided to watch that instead of the Man U game in the end.

Just had a massive debate with some liverpool fans over the fact that Phil Neville had Gareth Bale in his pocket during our game against Spurs weekend before last, whereas Maicon (supposedly one of the best defenders in the world) was left looking like he had lead for feet by him tonight :laugh: And they still say that Neville is past it and ****e, deary me.

[Mystic Mock]

birmingham drew with the scum last sunday away from home which im happy with.

lets hope birmingham beat the scum at st.andrews.

[30stone]

Every player in my team champions league fantasy football.. failed tonight lol!


Maicon is definately one of the best in the world.

Maicon is definately one of the best in the world.

Maicon is quality but I rate Alves and Sergio Ramos more;).

[30stone]

Maicon is just like a stronger alves.


Ramos is pretty great.

I used to hate maicon deny how quality he was but he is.

Not sure really, still i love sagna lol.

Rangers will still go through in second place, they will win there next two games, Home to United and away to bursaspor

[Chels]

I find it so hard to believe Gareth Bale is Welsh... what a little monster he is ;o

Marry me Gar? :')

[Novo]

To be honest i feel sorry for him that he is Welsh, he's never going to have a decent international tournament run, almost as bad as Poor mario frick playing for Leichenstein

gareth bale and craig bellamy could help wales make it further than usual.

Don't be stupid, as a team they are one of the worst in europe

[MissKittyFantastico]

Rodders was back playing in the reserves for us against Blackpool today, way ahead of schedule, Anichebe as well, beat them 5-0. Same on Saturday please!!

Rumours that we're about to get Charlie Adam from Blackpool, arguments over contract mean he could be on his way out, and Moyes brother is his agent lol. Don't think we need him tbh but could be interesting to see what happens. Loads of players we're rumoured to be looking at for January.


Arsenal losing! Walcott scored a cracking goal but Eduardo put Shakthar ahead. Good game so far. Chelski's looks like a boring game.

[Mystic Mock]

Don't be stupid, as a team they are one of the worst in europe

well manchester united has survived off scholes and giggs in the premiership this season,so why cant bale and bellamy do it for wales?

[Locke.]

Utd have other great players that at the worst are still better than the other 9 Wales players put together

[Mystic Mock]

that is true,but i wouldnt call them great,i would put most in the birmingham side though lol.

[DDRickyDD]

Yeah me to. I watched Wales play (I think it was Bulgaria) a few weeks ago and Bale had to try and take on about 5 players by himself as the other Welsh players simply aren't good enough.

Don't be stupid, as a team they are one of the worst in europe

Totally agree. Can't wait till England put 5 past them in March.

Chelsea comfortably through to the Last 16. Arsenal lose but will surely annihilate Partizan at the Emirates in a few weeks. Tottenham's result last night means they have a better head to head record than Inter. So if they can win their remaining two games they will win the group which would mean they would be seeded in the Last 16 and play the 2nd leg at home. It would be a great if they could get to the Q-F and got drawn to play against Arsenal. Real Madrid got a last minute equalizer against AC Milan which sent Mourinho running down the touceline in celebration.

[30stone]

Aaron Ramsey will be wales' star in 2 years no doubt!

Phil Neville has taken over Twitter, this has been going on since the Spurs game Tuesday night and he was still #4 in the worldwide trending topics yesterday :laugh:

Everton skipper Phil Neville yesterday became an unwitting internet phenomenon as he emerged as one of the hottest trends worldwide on social networking site Twitter.

Sat at home watching Tottenham’s Gareth Bale destroy Inter Milan and Brazil right-back Maicon on Tuesday – and probably feeling quite pleased with his own recent display against the electric Bale – the Blues defender was no doubt blissfully unaware of the storm brewing in cyberspace.

With tweets raining in to praise Welsh wonderkid Bale, Evertonians – and football fans in general – waded in to point out how the 33-year-old Neville had succeeded where the hapless Brazilian had failed.

The result was a comic frenzy with users attempting to out-quip each other with Neville being portrayed as a superhero following his shackling of the Spurs winger.

The former England man became the hottest topic in the UK before trending worldwide, leaving bemused internet users across the globe asking: ‘Who is this Phil Neville!?’

Even Landon Donovan cottoned on to the surge of interest in his former teammate, tweeting: ‘Phil Neville is trending?!? What has this world come to?!?!?!?’

Log on to Twitter to follow Phil’s conquering of cyberspace, and make sure you follow @youreverton for updates all day every day from Goodison Park.

Below are some of the more amusing Phil Neville tweets.

EFC_Tanuki: ‘The Queen sings God Save Phil Neville.’

ste butler: ‘Death once had a near Phil Neville experience.’

SenorDawes: ‘Phil Neville doesn't mow his lawn, he dares his grass to grow.’

Najem66: ‘Some people say magicians could walk on water, but Phil Neville could swim through land.’

JoeWager: ‘If Phil Neville was from Sparta, '300' would just be called '1'.’

Craigtoptoffee: ‘If Phil Neville had been on the Titanic he would have melted the iceberg with his stare!!!’

Jonahblues: ‘Phil Neville doesn't wear a watch. He decides what time it is.’

Stuney86: ‘Phil Neville & Superman had a fight, the loser had to wear their pants over their trousers.’


What a legend.
