WIN EVERY MONDAY MORNING OFF WORK FOR THE WHOLE SEASON

 WIN EVERY MONDAY MORNING OFF WORK FOR THE WHOLE SEASON with Yahoo! Your Goals If you’re a football fan, Monday is the day you either wake up fresh wanting to rewatch the highlights of that victory – or hide away after that terrible defeat. This Monday us Evertonians had a different feeling,  thanks to the cancellation of our opener at White Hart Lane (brilliantly written about here) we felt even more ignored than usual and the 1-1 draw with Bohemians didn’t help either… How to beat the Monday blues? Yahoo! Your Goals has stepped in with answer – whatever has happened over the weekend. They’re running a competition that...

Fellaini gets three-match ban

November 11, 2010
By

There will be no appeal against the red card shown by referee Phil Dowd to Marouane Fellaini for ‘serious foul play’. Fellaini was brought down from behind in the 86th minute by Bolton’s Paul Robinson in what looked a clear foul but retaliated by kicking out as the players tangled on the ground and the referee, who was well positioned, had no hesitation in awarding a straight red card. After the game David Moyes conceded that “It was the right decision, Marouane retaliated and it was stupid.” Fellaini will now miss three matches: Arsenal – home (Sunday 14 November); Sunderland – away (Monday 22 November); West Brom – home (Saturday 27...

August 30, 2010

The latest chit-chat has it that these two out-of-favour Toffees are on their way to West Ham, with David Moyes poised to use the proceeds in pursuit of a top quality striker to solve the goal drought that has seen the Blues so far score just once in three Premier League outings.

Was Arteta a Man Utd Target?

There’s been a lot of speculation in the last few hours about the fact that young German star Mesut Ozil’s player profile turned up on Man Utd’s site, most people are saying that like obituaries, they do them for any player that might sign – but there were some other interesting players listed in the Man Utd squad – including Mikel Arteta! The link to see these profiles – http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={FE60904B-C2A8-4E60-9B05-700DBBC29BBC}&section=playerProfile&teamid=&bioid=94383 - is interesting too. Changing the last two digits of the link from 71 upwards will reveal the “fantasy” players – but moving back down reveals normal Man Utd squad players. Did we just get a peek at The Lord of the...

Newcastle nab Gosling. Good riddance.

July 22, 2010
By

Sky sports are reporting that Dan Gosling has finally moved to Newcastle for free. I’m finished with the anger, not hugely disappointed in losing him as a player anymore, but still apoplectic with rage about the money he took off us. If he recovers in time, he’ll be able to come to Goodison for a nice welcome, after that I fully expect him to sink without a trace. If you have a gentleman’s agreement and then back out of it you are neither a gentleman nor worth having an agreement with in the first place. Good riddance.

Gosling set to jump ship

July 13, 2010
By

ESPN reported yesterday that Dan Gosling was ready to join Newcastle United for free. It looks like he’ll be getting ÂŁ25,000 a week, but the article also mentions that Everton will appeal the move and look to recoup something. If we get anywhere near the ÂŁ4 million we are apparently appealing for – it will come in very handy for both us and Plymouth Argyle – who are entitled to any proceeds of a Gosling transfer. Again, I’m sad to see him go, and a little angry too.

MOYES YET AGAIN PROVES HE IS AN ASTUTE JUDGE OF TALENT

May 26, 2010
By

No wonder managers are lining up to peek over Moyes’ shoulder (Rafa Benitez and Harry Redknapp; yes I’m talking about you) – even when Moyes’ doesn’t get his man, he still shows his wonderful scouting abilities. Last summer we were very close to nabbing Argentine midfielder Ever Banega off Valencia – there were murmurings of a possible loan-then-buy deal, but sadly it fell through. At the time. most people saw Banega as a bit of a joke, with Guardian journalist Sid Lowe saying the following: “I personally think that Banega is a very talented footballer, he moves the ball very nicely. There have been one or two occasions when he’s...

Everton & Aston Villa: 3 Step Guide to telling Man City “NO”

Some goons over at the Fur Coat No Knickers lodgings in Manchester gave me some stick about claiming that illegal approaches smoothed over with lashings and lashings of filthy lucre was the Man City ideology. It patently is. The FC No Knickers ideology is that of its owners, to get them noticed and to get on the fast track to success. The Everton ideology is the exact opposite. With FC No Knickers sniffing around for fresh blood it looks like they may raid Aston Villa or Everton again this summer, and both Milner and Arteta are thought to be targets. I’m a little worried about Man City coming after...

Pienaar is a win-win situation.

Pienaar is a win-win situation.

 Why we should’t be too upset about losing Pienaar. Rob Gordon: I will now sell five copies  of “The Three EPs” by The Beta Band. Dick: Go for it. Beta Band Customer: Who is this? … Rob Gordon from High Fidelity reminds me of David Moyes from Goodison Park. Our manager has lovingly assembled a cheap collection of classics. Arteta, Pienaar, Cahill – all bought for around ÂŁ2million each. Moyes proves again and again that you can find hidden unheralded gems if you nose around small shops, you dont have to shop at Harrods if you know where to look. Steven Pienaar. He’s 28, he has one large...
