“Somebody threw their arm up, but nobody batted an eyelid at it”, is what Alex McLeish said when asked about the Stephen Carr incident. Well, let me tell you, you little turd, the SOMEBODY who threw an arm up was your captain, and he did it to flick the ball off Louis Saha’s head with his hand in the penalty box. The reason that nobody “batted an eyelid” is...

When David Moyes announced the team to play BATE a day before kick-off, the pre match reports I read the following day were all ostensibly saying the same thing; we are playing a bunch of kids against BATE, there will be ten people at the match, their will be very little atmosphere and it will be educational. Educational I agree with, but ten people and no atmosphere...

At 2-0 to Tottenham, a side riding high on confidence and lying fourth in the League standings at the start of play, I would normally say, as I did when we played Hull a couple of Saturdays ago, that enough was enough and I have had enough. Normally we would be battling to create chances, we would be battling to pass the ball along the ground, and we would be battling...

On Sunday we saw everything that epitomised Everton Football Club. We saw players battling [Heitinga, Yobo, Distin, Rodwell, even Tony Hibbert had a good game], we saw players scoring [Louis Saha is a genius], we saw players struggling [yes, Dan and Fellaini did struggle; however, Dan did score that goal, and what a great goal, really brilliant.]. When you can control...

The last couple of seasons have seen Everton Football Club finish “Best of the Rest” in the English Premier League. We have done wonderfully well on a shoestring budget; yes, Moysie has performed minor miracles. During both those seasons the tabloids had been screaming that Moyes is the miracle man; that we have been “punching above our weight”, that David “walks...

In Matchday 4 from Group I in the Europa League, Everton lock horns for the second time in the group with Benfica, this time at Goodison Park. With the blues still reeling from the heavy 5-0 defeat at the hands of their Portuguese counterparts in Lisbon a fortnight ago, this game gives David Moyes and his squad the ideal opportunity to exact revenge for what was surely...

A young Toffees side were beaten in this seasons’ first “mini Merseyside derby” against Liverpool Reserves, as Andy Holden’s men fell to a 1-0 defeat at the Halton Stadium. It was almost as you were from the reserves’ last game against Bolton, Hope Akpan replacing Nathan Craig in the only change. The game began in a lively fashion, with Adam Forshaw and Akpan...

After three away games and three subsequent defeats, Everton are back in Premier League action this Saturday for their fourth game in ten days at home to Martin O’Neill’s Aston Villa. With the luxury of three full days off between games following the 2-0 loss to Spurs at White Hart Lane on Tuesday night David Moyes will be hoping his squad has a healthier...

Another day goes by and another tricky away trip for David Moyes and Everton looms; next up is the Carling Cup and the team playing host is Tottenham Hotspur. After two demoralising defeats in quick succession and an ever increasing injury list, Everton fans can be forgiven for feeling more than a little apprehensive ahead of this fourth round tie in north London. In...
