Tears flow as Tiny finally goes walkabout

The news that Tim Cahill is to join MLS side New York Red Bulls for a £1 mln fee brings the curtain down on eight years at Goodison during which the Australian played a seminal role in the reconstruction of the team in accordance with the David Moyes blue-print. His three goals in 41 appearances last season and failure to find the net throughout 2011, were an indication that his powers were beginning to wane and the newly arrived Steven Naismith has clearly been earmarked as his natural replacement. The opportunity of a lucrative move to a top MLS side and virtually guaranteed first team football was clearly attractive to the 32...

Albion v Everton: Scharner out to bag another Toffee

As someone said earlier this week, “West Brom might have held City to a goal-less draw and might play some nice stuff, but they are hardly Barcelona”….indeed, however this is still the team which took six points off Everton last season and in the process scored five and conceded one and against whom two players were red carded; Arteta at Goodison and Bilyaletdinov at the Hawthorns. They are also the club, lest no one forget, who beat hot favourites Everton 1-0 in the 1968 FA Cup final thanks to that Jeff Astle extra-time winner. They are then, in best nose-picking parlance, a bogey team. Now let’s discuss the estimable...

Clock ticking for Saha & Cahill

Clock ticking for Saha & Cahill

Despite all the negative comment, much of it reminiscent of the refrain “Doomed, we’re all doomed” from the gloomy Private Frazer in Dad’s Army, Everton embark on their customary Christmas travels eleventh in the league, better than the fourteenth of last season and the fifteenth of the season before. And there are reasons to be optimistic: Royston Drenthe just gets better and better; Leon Osman and Marouane Fellaini are bang in form; defensively the partnership of Phil Jagielka and Johnny Heitinga is bedding-down; Tony Hibbert, as usual the butt of much vitriolic criticism, is playing some of the best football of his career; running-man Leighton Baines keeps on bombing down the...

60 Evertonians: #28.Albert the Blaugrana

Bio: My name is Albert. I’m an Everton fan living in Barcelona. I’m 19 and I study law. A few months ago I co-founded ‘Barcelona Toffees’, to unite all the Evertonians living in Catalonia. I try to watch Everton when they are on TV and try to attend one game once a year (home or away). 1. Why Everton? My dad made me a FC Barcelona member the day after I was born, so first of all I am a Barça supporter. But Barça was imposed on me by my family, I didn’t choose it. Everton is the team I chose by myself. Everything started in a trip in...

60 Evertonians: 17. Liz Forster

Liz Forster Bio: - I’m a 29 year old not dull at all accountant, living in Huyton. Evertonian all my life, with a season ticket in the lower gwladys. Q1. Why Everton? Like most of us, we had no choice! My dad was a blue and as his first born it was passed on to me. My mum and dad used to run a pub and they would dress me and the pub in Everton gear for all the cup finals in the 80’s! The first game I have a memory of was Tony Cottee’s debut against Newcastle in 88/89 season. I was hooked ever since. Q2. I remember...

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...

The key to Everton’s season: losing Tim Cahill

Whisper this one quietly. The key to our season may be losing Tim Cahill to the Asia Cup.  Before you dismiss this as steaming tripe. Before you wonder why I’m happy that the only person who is on first name terms with the opposition goal is leaving. Before you click on that red x button in the top right corner of this window, have a read… Cahill is a goalscorer par excellence, a finisher in the truest sense of the word, someone always on the end of things. The man who provides the finishing touch to that perfect attack, or that beautiful cross. What our Tim isn’t, and never...

Everton seize City built on sand

MANCHESTER CITY 1 (Jagielka og 72) – EVERTON 2 (Cahill 4, Baines 19) The Everton that David Moyes built put in a welcome return last night at Eastlands delivering a victory built on all the qualities we have come to expect, but which have been missing for large chunks of the season; commitment, incisiveness, hard work and unflagging belief. Forced to play the bulk of the second half with just ten men every member of the team covered, harried and defended as City pushed forward, but even when the opposition found a way through they were met by a goalkeeper in Tim Howard who was in no mood to...

King Cahill drives his Everton to deserved victory

EVERTON 2 (Cahill 34, Arteta 50) – LIVERPOOL 0  It’s after matches like these, when the Old Lady has roared her team home, that the possibility of moving to a new stadium should be finally dispatched. In all of Everton’s glorious history stretching back through the eras of Ball, of Lawton and of Dean the one constant has been the famous Goodison roar from a crowd intimate to pitch and to players. If the memory of the intimidating atmosphere which last season helped drive the team to stunning victories over Chelsea, United and City was beginning to fade, then the Goodison hierarchy were here given a timely reminder. Move...

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 £2million 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...
