But they are 4 points ahead of us so how does that work?

Sounds like your criteria for being a legend is that have to die. Dixie Dean for sure. Labone (probably). Ball (also probably) but where does that leave Kendall and Harvey? Kendall will end up being a bigger Everton legend than all but Dixie Dean (I think). Then theres Alex Young, Fred Pickering, Ray Wilson, Bob Latchford (ok he didnt win any medals with us but he was a true HERO in the 70's. The name Latchford and Eveton go hand in hand. Then theres a multitude of 80's players Neville Southall, Trevor Steven, Kevin Ratcliffe, Graeme Sharp among many others. So who deserves it? I'd like to see a Dixie Dean stand (has a ring to it but would probably end up being the William Ralph Dean stand). ALSO would love to see a Goodison STAND. Maybe a ST. Domingo's Stand. AND I would really like to see St. Ruperts Tower incorpoated into the design somewhere. (perhaps one of the corners) but would be too expensive I suppose.

Thats amazng, were you there?

Nice one! I cant say I've read it either. Every now and then in a hotel room I have flicked through bits, shook my head in disbelief then gone about the task of living my life.

I find that statement funny. I know SO MANY people who say they are either Protestant or Catholic yet dont believe in God. Mekes you wonder how many of the 37% of people in England who say they are Christian actually believe in God. Probably down to about 25-30%. To carry on the interesting religious facts. DID YOU KNOW that once upon a time Priests were allowed to get married but in the 12th Century the Church banned this because they found priests were leaving their property to their wives and children, Property the Church wanted. So they invented a rule which saw the church get richer. And I also read somewhere that in the bible it says the world is flat. Then theres all the violence CONDONED by God, including rape. Terrible book, not one you'd want to run your life by. At least most people know its fictitious. Sadly some believe it to be true and they are the worrying ones. One example in the bible - God becomes angry with David, and has David's wives publicly raped by David's son Absalom. God later has David's other son rape David's daughter. In 2 Samuel APPARENTLY. Thank god (or whoever) for google.

Dont like the grand old team idea but thats just me coz I dont like the song and the way the song gets churned out all the time (Overkill). It sounds good when the fans sing it but that recording is woeful. Forever Everton is a better song and more original. I like the "Founder member of the football league" idea. How about 'kopites are gobshites".. or on a more serious note "Liverpools first club" or "Liverpool's Premier club" which means the same but just sounds better.

Youre very sure of yourself. Still a long way to go before its signed, sealed and delivered.

Someone with a clue, dont care where hes from. What about Colin Harvey? Too old to be a "hands on" coach but get him in as a tactician.

Maybe the man who shagged the bike was a PEDALPHILE (sorry, that was bad).

His favoured position may be centre midfield but from what I've seen this season he is a much BETTER right back. He has been shite in midfield. Perhaps he'd be a good midfielder in the lower divisions (or in a crap team like Sheff. Utd) but at the level he's at now he is a SHITE midfielder. If he wants to play regularly then its not going to be in midfield, but he could actually make the right back position his own. It seems he has a choice, Right back or bench warmer?.

Its called KARMA. Now as long as we win tonight that will erase some of the hurt from Saturday.

Great to beat the Aussies again BUT I have just heard that they are up to their whinging antics again. Apparently they think that 3 points for a drop goal and a penalty should be reduced? WHY, coz they cant kick? I can see the reasoning behind reducing the points allocated for a penalty. But the drop goal is an exciting and skillful part of the game, 3 points is fine for that. I seem to remember them WHINING at the 2003 world cup too. (about Englands 'kicking' tactic). TWATS. Honestly they behave like the Redshite.

He looks shite to me so far. He does give the ball away a bit much and seems downright unco-ordinated at times . BUT he is being played out of position. His only good game for me was at right back v Bolton so I'll reserve judgement for the time being. Basically I'm not convinced by him yet but I suppose he can only improve from what I've seen.

Thing is he's usually one of the better refs. He lets the play go but today I felt he let way too much go. He was a twat today.

Fucking Liverpool! Fucking Ref! Fucking Beenitez TWAT! Deep breath.............................................................................................................................. How jammy are Liverpool? And they wonder why we hate them so much. I've never jumped on Hibberts back too much in the past but he shouldve been first to that ball in the middle of the pitch before Gerrard went on and won that 1st pen. Hibbo hesitated, fatally and the rest is history. We get told these things even themselves out, perhaps they will over the course of the season but rest assured we wont get the luck v Liverpool. 1977 semi, Milk Cup 1984, Hutchisons disallowed ARSE goal 1999ish, and now the Lescott penalty 2007 (and I'm sure I've missed a few). Fucking gutted. Yes we'll get over it but I feel like shit right now.

When I read you dislike Chester I was going to ask you WHY? But then I read the next line and saw you have a soft spot for Wrexham and all became clear. Do tell me though, is the hatred between those 2 teams purely geographical or does it run deeper than that. If so, please spill the beans. I'm very curious.

1. EVERTON 2. LIVERPOOL and to a lesser extent OXFORD for 1986 and CARLISLE for 1976 ish (cant remember exactly when). 3. Theres a few I suppose but none in particular. TRANMERE I used to like them but I'm sure they dislike us so thats them out. BURNLEY but only coz Martin Dobson came from there, apparently its a shithole though (so says John Cooper Clarke). PRESTON N.E. because of their history, would like to see them come up. NOTTS FOREST purely for the Clough era.

Yeah, Poor Sammy Lee. Couldnt have happened to a nicer bloke. I'm happy with our draw. Weakest teams in our group we play at home and we wont have to travel all the way to Russia or Greece. Group E seems to be the toughest group; Bayer Leverkusen, Sparta Prague, Toulouse, FC Zurich & Spartak Moscow. Think it will be tight this one, glad we avoided it.

To be fair to Arteta, he didnt really have much support in midfield did he? Yes he had a bad one but Moyes tactics didnt exactly play to his strengths.

Wey Hey! We're through (somehow). Well done Big Vic, Now thats how to do it! Yakubu take note. I still think theyve played better though.

Baines (finally) for Yakubu. I am certain they will have more chances. If I was a betting man I would put money on them to get another. At least with that sub we look more balanced now.

Get in. Now isnt it their turn to score?

Jags off, Vic on. Which is good BUT isnt our midfield going to be lightweight. Get ready for even more long balls.

Get that Yakubu off, useless. As is Jagielka. EDIT;^^bugger, yoy got in there before me. Great minds..............

Its just too easy for them. We DO NOT deserve to go through. Fucking Everton
