All female fans should go the match with their boobies out FACT!

Nope!

If the Chang deal is supposed to be tapping into the Asian market they have it all so wrong, I've been in Asia (Singapore) for 5 months now and spent a lot of time in Thailand which is where our hotel is located. Chang is massive here it's on tap and bottled in every bar in Thailand, bottles in every bar in Singapore and readily available in supermarkets. I've also recently become aware that Chang are big real estate owners in Singapore including a string of hotels. Can I find anywhere to watch an Everton game? NO! Can I find anywhere to buy any Everton Merchandise? NO! Have I ever seen anything with Chang and Everton on here (billboards / advertising)? NO! It's disappointing because the premier league is massive in Singapore and Malaysia, not so much in Thailand but on the whole Asia loves it's EPL. I really think if we are going to renew the Chang deal then a far better marketing side needs to be put in place. This is an untapped market everybody supports ManU, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and a small following of City due to their recent success. The Kitbag deal really holds us back too, the shops here could be flooded with the royal blue of Everton holding a sponsor that everybody knows but there really is nothing! Another thing which I thought the other day while watching the piss poor Asian games, was we could send the youth squad over here to take on the full Asian national sides on a pre season tour and the boys would run all over them. They have no games to play because they never qualify for anything apart from tin pot tournaments they arrange between themselves so they would love it and it would really raise our profile while the main team were doing their usual trawling of america. Which by the way I think is a waste of time now as the American league is growing and has some great players so why would they be that interested in the prem?

Come on boys and girls it's Derby day. We march across the park, let out a battle cry and go to war. We are far better this season than worrying about other teams and go into the derby at Anfield every year with a long injury list. We need to win this one and we will win this one I'm saying nothing more!

I cant believe how unlucky the lad is, he's been outstanding since he got his chance. I've been on twitter and facebook and wished him a speedy recovery, proper gutted for him in world cup year. He will be back medicine is so much better than it was.

Sort the bog out they were grim!

37 pages that's one long shit!

Source: Echo website Id like to take this opportunity to thank the Everton fans from the bottom of my heart for their support during my time at Goodison. They gave me their backing from day one and never stopped believing in me, which is something I will always remember. To score on my full debut in that memorable game against Tottenham was very special, and the feeling of Goodison that night will remain with me. I believe the scoring run which I went on during those first six months is the real Nikica Jelavic and Im pleased the Evertonians were able to see and appreciate what Im really about. Everton supporters have a special way of making you feel like one of them, and even when I was not in the team in more recent times I always felt they were behind me. Playing for Croatia is something I also take huge pride in and with a World Cup on the horizon I was in the situation of needing to play more games to make sure I remain in Niko Kovacs thoughts ahead of the tournament in Brazil. Unfortunately that wasnt happening at Everton, and Roberto Martinez was very honest and up front with me about his thinking. He listened to my concerns and said he would try and do the right thing for me. When I went to meet Steve Bruce I realised it was the right move to a club with the potential to become a top Premier League outfit in the coming years. Steve's ambition was clear, as was his desire to see me playing and scoring goals. While Im sad to wave farewell to Everton and all my friends; both in the changing room, around the training ground, and the fans in the streets, it is time for my next challenge. Im only pleased that I was able to say goodbye with two goals in the FA Cup win against QPR, and share some special celebrations with them one last time. I hope to be celebrating many more goals in future, and Im excited to get going at my new club. But you can guarantee the Toffees will remain in my heart. I hope they can go on to fulfil their ambitions this season and I will always look out for them. Hvala vam i sretno (Thank you and good luck) Nikica Jelavic Nice to hear another person has been touched by the blue boys.

I've got nothing against it. TBH Blue Bill has wound me up over the past few years but really, if he had any cash would anyone be complaining about him? I've got dirty kopite mates who have praised our community and charity work in the past few weeks, the kids at Goodison and the pic of Bobby leading the old dear out of her house for the Everton street party were 2 that got everyone talking. I'm proud of our club, Bill is proud of our club and after listening to The Everton Podcast with Martinez the other week I have a new found respect for Mr Kenwright. There has to be something about him that successive managers keep praising! Shout it from the rooftops, we are Everton FC and we are cut from a different cloth than the majority of Premier League teams these days.

Didn't we have to pay anything for the loans of Barry and Lukaku? Plus we don't get all of the Jelavic an Vic money up front do we?

Policing has a lot to do with it as the constant reinforcement for Liverpool City Councils no standing policy, why they feel the need to get involved I'll never know?? People don't sing sat down unless it's Westlife perched on a stool!

Bit harsh don't u think? Would your opinion be a little different if England announced their squad for 2022 and a string of players decided not to go because of the heat? After all it's their choice right?

This makes me want to cry I really hope not

That'll be a 'fun' away game!

I'm quite happy with this I think he has the skill and RM wont let him play until he proves on the training ground he can look up and pick the right ball. His only downside is how wasteful he can be with the final ball and in a team that's passing as slick as us at the moment he's going to have to turn it up a notch! Not going to set the world on fire but a solid signing IMO I look forward to seeing him prove himself.

Is Titus Bramble still getting a game in the top flight? That boy should never ever have been employed by a top flight team!! Just searched him, he is without club. ABOUT FU**IN TIME!!!

Anyone know if the latest news means a break in the season or us all playing with the reserves for 2 months?

Has anyone listened to the 'Followtonians' podcast with Martinez? I cant link because my work PC is blocked for most things. It's 1 hour 22 mins long, I'm half way through and I'm completely in love with the man, no bigging up Everton just plain football sense it really is worth a listen.

I have a lot of respect for what Moyes did at Everton there is no doubting he piled the ground and laid a solid foundation slab at a club that has struggled for years. I questioned his tactics often, he played many players out of position and pushed aside many a player in favor of his favorites and that, lets get the sub undressed 7 times before finally bringing them on in injury time thing he did drove me crazy. Credit where credits due tho he steadied the ship, gave me a European tour and put in a shift for my beloved club. It's a pity he turned the second he walked out the door and now tbh he will get what he deserves, if he turns it around at utd good on him and if he gets the sack I'll laugh my lil man boobs off. He is the past and Bobby's brown shoes are the future! Onwards and upwards later Moyesy!!

I'v just watched his post match interview in a crowded suite at Goodison, the lad is full of confidence, plays well and is getting praise of everybody. Bright future for him and us methinks!

The power of positive thinking is immense Mike so this is all I can offer, you were a top bloke back in the day when I was a serial poster and your still here offering the voice of reason. Best of luck with the treatment and here's to another 25,000 odd posts

I'm with MikeO Oviedo over Pienaar all day for me!

Me too I actually had a few non alcoholic pints with him and Watson in the away end at the Nuremberg game away in 2007 top blokes both of them. Loved it when he threw those crunching tackles, shit football or not I have very fond memories of the dark 90's. Just spotted my error there I was talking about Parkinson!

Hahaha you have no chance with the allocation we will get. Not Even 50% of our 100% supporters clubs will get a ticket!

*I've had a quick look but if there's another thread just shift this over* I've been really impressed this week with Everton's charitable events, we've done the annual visit to Alder Hey Children's hospital. There's been this Everton Street party thing going on around Liverpool and a friend of mine who is a school teacher and a home & away Liverpool fan, works at Halewood Academy told me we had an Everton party for a kid who had brain surgery recently where Sylavin Distin came and presented a signed shirt to the lad. Do we lead the way in terms of football clubs with these activities or is there any others who have raised the bar for the people in their communities?
