Desert Island Kicks: Stuart Fuller

“Desert Island Kicks” is a pale imitation of the legendary “Desert Island Discs” format. I’m looking to nab answers from footie fans from all corners of the globe and all walks of life. You’re stranded on a desert island, what footballing memories would you take with you? I want you to pick a game, shirt, goal, player and piece of turf from a stadium to take with you to a desert island, oh and you’re allowed one luxury too. Next up is Stuart Fuller from the excellent site The Ball is Round. GAME: West Ham United 8 Newcastle United 1 from 1986.  A mad evening that saw Alvin Martin score...

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...

West Ham Chairman Sullivan in early bid for “Moron of the Year” Award

West Ham Chairman Sullivan in early bid for “Moron of the Year” Award

West Ham Chairman David Sullivan came out yesterday and gave his opinion on Yakubu’s market price. Sullivan said: “Everything has a price. You want to get Yakubu for £1-2 million and they are quoting £8 million and that is far too much. “They have to be more realistic. If they said £1-2m we might go back. We bid more at the start of the summer because we had more flexibility but, at this moment in time, having spent some of our money on other players we want him for £1-2m.” With gutter rag The S*n claiming that West Ham want £20million from Liverpool for Carlton Cole, are we to...

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 £25,000 a week, but the article also mentions that Everton will appeal the move and look to recoup something. If we get anywhere near the £4 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.

Dan Gosling:How to lose friends and alienate people

July 9, 2010
By

Now is the summer of our discontent. Summer is an atrocious time to be an Evertonian. Nails are bitten to the quick, nights are sleepless, and the fevered clamour amongst the gutter press for a full-scale Everton exodus reaches unbearable levels. With Pienaar still flirting with our offer, Arteta a possibility to leave, and Johnny Heitinga sending a volley of mixed messages our way we could be forgiven for forgetting about Dan Gosling. If you’d have asked me my opinion of Gosling last week I would have told you that he is a solid young player, and a promising prospect for the future. All that is now in tatters....

Entire Everton Squad To Leave

June 18, 2010
By

At least that’s what the press would have us believe. I find it ridiculous that journos on TV and in newspapers are constantly linking Everton players with a move away from the club, it’s as if their shallow paddling pool minds can’t fathom good players playing for Everton. The rote line is similar for every player, and it goes something like this: “Everton are a good club, but for X to really get success he has to move on.” This summer, the transfer tales have reached Pinocchio levels, with a huge slice of our squad as well as our manager being linked away. If all these players are good enough for a...

D60 Everton Player of the Season: Tony Hibbert

Tony Hibbert – Some Managers Do Have ‘Em OR How I learned to stop worrying and love our right back. Take a sprig of Baldrick, just a dash of Eminem, throw in some David Burroughs, Marc Hottiger, and Earl Barrett, as well as a nervous field rodent and a shoe. You have both a recipe for disaster and Everton’s erstwhile right back, Tony Hibbert. The current holder of the club record for European appearances – beating even Brian Labone and Colin Harvey – is also my player of the season.   Spare a thought for Tony Hibbert this summer. As we drool over the World Cup he’ll be sitting...

Everton must drive home advantage against Hammers

April 2, 2010
By

With three straight clean sheets, seven successive home wins and facing a team who have gone fifteen games since they won away, this, many Evertonians will tell you, is a banana skin waiting to be slipped on. Everton appear to reserve their best for the toughest opponents – United, Chelsea, Liverpool, City at home, Arsenal, Chelsea, City away – and tend to be more troubled by humbler opposition, when perhaps the adrenal rush is more subdued. Like their failure to close out Birmingham when 2-0 up, or play out a draw to protect a fragile 2-1 aggregate lead at Sporting Lisbon, or find the single goal that would have...
