60 Evertonians: #16.James Coyne

BIO: James is 23 year old from Melbourne, Victoria. He works in Media and Marketing and is a huge Evertonian. Q1. Why Everton? Umm few reasons, family connections but soccer/football wasnt that big here when I was growing up, then one night the nightly news came on and it showed this young kid becoming the youngest scorer in ‘04 at 16. Thats when I first became interested. I’d check how the blues were doing every so often but it was really 05/06 leading into the World Cup when I fell in love with football and Everton. Q2. I remember standing amongst a glum chain gang of fans at Kirkdale train...

Everton out of luck but in the mix

March 29, 2010

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 0 – EVERTON 0 Alan Ball once humorously and presciently observed, “I’m not a believer in luck, but I do believe you need it.” And of course luck does tend to even itself out over a season; witness Drogba’s header rebounding off the back of Saha’s head to give Everton a share of the points at Stamford Bridge. So the wailing and gnashing of teeth which has followed the game at Molineux should be tempered by the knowledge that although clear scoring opportunities were missed – notably by Osman, Saha and Gosling – at least chances were created, and created without Arteta, Everton’s most inventive, progressive, player....

Moyes to ring changes for White Hart Lane

February 27, 2010
By

Which Everton will turn up at White Hart Lane? The clueless one that surrendered so meekly in Lisbon or the one that comprehensively beat City, Chelsea and United. Having a near fully-fit squad brings its own problems for a manager; it is no longer simply a case of selecting your best eleven players, no longer good enough to rally outnumbered troops with a ‘backs-to-the-wall’ battle cry. A more subtle, thoughtful, dare we say ‘managerial’ approach is needed, one which draws on the strengths of all the squad. We are not suggesting that David Moyes suddenly transforms into the ‘Tinker Man‘, but we are saying that it is okay to...

Now Everton, reproduce this form – again and again and again!

February 23, 2010

EVERTON 3 (Bilyaletdinov 18, Gosling 76, Rodwell 90) – MANCHESTER UNITED 1 (Berbatov 16) Everton are developing a handy technique for slaying the top teams; start slowly, size them up, even allow them to land a blow, then come on strong and hit them hard with a combination of punches. Making light of the absence of Fellaini and Cahill the Blues showed that they are capable of overcoming any opposition with their potent mix of team spirit, work ethic and obdurate defending, allied to flair and skill in key areas of the pitch. Osman was, yet again, quite magnificent, on this form a call-up to the England squad cannot be far...

Everton v Birmingham; who will blink first?

Everton v Birmingham; who will blink first?

This fourth-round FA Cup clash sees an irresistable force meet an immovable object and something has to give! Everton are undefeated in six games – nine if you exclude the Bate Borisov defeat where we fielded a weakened team, while our visitors are undefeated in fourteen. A lot has happened since our one-all draw against Birmingham at Goodison five weeks ago when Bilyaletdinov‘s sixth minute strike, countered by Larsson’s out of the blue equalizer, was all we had to show from a game we dominated from start to finish. Our form has been on an upward trajectory ever since, with a point at Sunderland and then at the Emirates...

Donovan home debut could be fiery affair

January 15, 2010
By

Roberto Mancini’s City renaissance arrives at Goodison fresh from a comfortable win over Blackburn Rovers while Everton will return home buoyed by their battling performance at the Emirates. Landon Donovan, reputation enhanced, will make his home debut in what promises to be a testy encounter, while Patrick Vieira returns to the Premier League from Serie A older, wiser and certainly richer. Since he is reportedly not yet match fit and is in any case nursing a damaged calf Mancini has ruled him out of this encounter. City have won all four games since Mancini replaced Hughes: 2-0 over Stoke; 0-3 at Wolves; 0-1 at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup; 4-1...
