He's another one of these players like Freddy and that homesick Dutchman. The fans think he's better than he really is. It's been a theme on Mol Mix for many months that he's fallen out with Mick etc but I just don't think he's that good. Even if he's had enough, he would surely still do as well as possible to put himself in the shop window? This is life in the Premier League I'm afraid. I think I enjoyed us being in the Championship more where we could beat crap teams each week On 21 November 2011 12:22, Rog & Reet <rognr...@exemail.com.au<mailto:rognr...@exemail.com.au>> wrote: Looked like Milijas has had enough and couldn't be bothered anymore.

Mick did seem remarkably positive about the performance and convinced we should have got something from the game. I would disagree with him on both counts. We didn't create anything, although (as always) looked more threatening when Fletcher came on. I was surprised at how ineffective Milijas was - its not even like the ball was never going through the middle. Rita just feels sorry for me I think Rog. She's watched Everton through some pretty dire periods so can relate to my current pain. ________________________________ From: nswolves@googlegroups.com<mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com> [mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com<mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com>] On Behalf Of Rog & Reet Sent: Sunday, 20 November 2011 10:08 AM To: nswolves@googlegroups.com<mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com> Subject: [NSWolves] Which planet is he from?
