Yak's back

Last updated : 08 February 2008 By Les Roberts

Apparently he missed his train and the traffic was a state, loads of cones
everywhere and not one bloody workman in site!

As a contrite Yakubu apologised to the incandescent Moyes, Joseph Yobo was apparently stood behind the Everton manager, tapping his Tom Tom, and mouthing that he should have tapped in the fastest route, avoiding roadworks.

Anyway, the Everton striker will not even make the bench for tomorrow's
visit of Reading and will be hit by an £80,000 pound fine.

Think about that for a minute, it's two weeks wages but it's eighty-thousand pounds!

I sometimes think that with the figures being bandied around in Football
it's easy to lose sight of just how much money there is in the game.

But that's a rant for sometime next week when I get round to writing
something about these proposals to play a league game a season in Qatar or somewhere.

There¹s going to be a cloud over Yakubu for the next week or so, a bit like that lad in Peanuts, but he's our top scorer, has looked mustard for some time now and, when he starts scoring again, it'll all be forgotten.

The thing that Moyes is really enraged about is that the emergency transfer
window has opened, so clubs can get players in on loan in emergency cases ­they're given a little metal hammer to open the window with and everything ­ and he's wasted his time getting a replacement in for the Yak (below)…

Got any spares lad?
