Thursday ToffeeLinks

I have a confession, I hate Thursdays. I have to work 9 hours and it seems like the whole day drags by slower than a Phil Neville attack. Yes, tomorrow is Friday, but it does nothing to help quench my thirst of freedom as I am chained to the desk of the corporation. Enough of my moaning, time for the Everton news.

Barkley Mature Beyond His Years - Everton FC

See here in the U.S. these comments are normally followed up with getting arrested or photos from Majorca. I'll put money on Barkley not being that guy.

United Expand Search for Left Back - Liverpool Echo

This is the definition of silly. Moyes is trying to pull his best Mancini act and failing miserably. Add in another 10 million quid and come back David.

Ian Holloway Charged By FA - The Guardian

This is my shocked face. Expect Holloway to continue his fantastic shenanigans all season.

Power Shifts To Clubs - Daily Mail

Apparently all you get for whining now is a bag of cheese and a training kit for the reserves.
