Mole, you have often said that your owner don't have any ambition and is only interested in making money (selling players, sponsorship for stadium etc.). So it's unlikely that Padrew will be sacked (unless they are mired deep into relegation). So what's the options!!! Do you think most (including yourself, in privet) fans have resigned to the fact that they will remain stuck here??? I mean, is there really any other way???

Everton have expressed their excitement and "cautious optimism" about a particular site they have been looking at with a view to building a new stadium.

Last year the Toffees revealed they were exploring locations for a new home in collaboration with Liverpool City Council.

And club chief executive Robert Elstone said at Everton's 2014 General Meeting on Tuesday that, while a series of sites were being examined, one - which he refused to name - was being focused on more than the others.

A team of external advisors, including planners, architects, designers and regeneration experts have been consulted on the proposed venture, with the viability of a new 50,000 capacity purpose-built ground inside the city boundaries of Liverpool under consideration.

Elstone said: "The stadium remains a big priority.

"We're not ruling out any of the sites that we've identified and that the council has presented to us, but there is one site which is getting more attention and has been getting more attention for a number of months.

"It has been worked on very carefully, diligently and in some detail by not only Everton, but by the council and by advisors, planners, architects, designers, cost consultants, regeneration experts and solicitors. So there's a lot of work going into something that we're very excited about.

"We need a council being supportive financially and supportive entrepreneurially as well. At the moment there are signs that they are being that, and that's to be welcomed and we're delighted with that.

"We hope it comes to fruition and, if it does, I think it's something that the city and our fans will be very proud of."

Elstone was keen to emphasise that the risks, and debt, associated with any move away from Goodison Park were being contemplated by the club.

He added: "The board is currently looking not only at this opportunity but also the associated risks and the debt that the club may well have to take on to deliver this, which may or may not be the right thing to do.

"That's exactly where we are in terms of the project at the moment - that consideration is ongoing by the board.

"But, in summary, there's a degree of optimism - perhaps some cautious optimism - but a degree of optimism.

"We wouldn't be investing what we're doing without thinking it had a chance of success, and there's a commitment as always to share information with our fans as soon as we can."

"I would not like to take anything away from Aaron Ramsey but we lost a number of other players in the same period and altogether I think that would harm the chances of many teams," Wenger told reporters.

"We would love for the season to be longer. We were top of the league but lost too many players at the crucial point of the season."

Three league wins on the spin have put Arsenal back in the driving seat to claim the fourth Champions League spot, with Laurent Koscielny, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud all finding the net during their win over the Magpies, and Wenger believes his men are now capable of taking six points from their final two games of the season.

"We had some problems at the start of the game, trying to find our way through the defence," he added. "When we found an opening we became stronger.

"We are four points ahead of Everton and we want to take maximum points from now until the end of the season.

They have a fit Lukaku  so that's also a positive. Barkley really needs to pick up his form though for this game. He's been garbage lately. McCarthy is fit and firing as well

Osman can step in for Barry and there won't be that much of a drop off.

Mirallas will be the biggest loss. Hopefully Deulofeu can have the game of his life.

Howard
Coleman - Stones - Jagielka - Baines
McCarthy - Osman
Deulofeu - Barkley - ???????
Lukaku

Naismith or McGeady in there probably. Not sure who else they have with Pienaar and Mirallas out.
