		<description><![CDATA[On The Guardian&#8217;s website is an entirely feasible portrayl by Andy Hunter of Everton Football Club&#8217;s current status.  Based on the sale of Arteta on Wednesday and the evidence presented by the club and that indicated by the actions of the club management over the last couple of years, there&#8217;s no reason to doubt this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=topbalcony.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8671625&amp;post=969&amp;subd=topbalcony&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
