Blue 250

In the papers a couple of days ago was a story about Dave Thomas (Everton winger of the 70's).He looked pretty fit, problem is he's slowly going blind.He was pictured with his guide dog, infact the story was to raise awareness of his condition and the need for guide dogs. Interestingly mentioned that at every medical he had during his football days eyesight was never something checked.( guess this must be the same for the refs !). The article got me thinking back to the 70's and Dave of moulded studs and socks rolled down fame, flying down the touchline, sticking the ball directly onto Latchfords head. There's recent talk about Gerry being a great crosser of the ball, but I don't think I'v ever seen a better crosser than Dave Thomas.

Middlesbrough 1 Everton 2. Lukaku.

Oh dear Billy, wrattled you a bit ! You're only subjective about him know because he's made you look a twat, wipe the egg off your face and get ovet it.Just waiting for him to make a mistake so you can jump on him is embaracing, grow up. At the moment any story about Everton just about always revolves around Lukaku and just about everyone on here wants a team built around him.Evertonians want him to stay......you'd rather he left I'll say no more. I thought you were a Wigan fan ! Shall we start the who's been to the most Everton games before Lukaku was at Everton ? you'd lose. Tell us again, what sort of game did Lukaku have against Stoke And oh dear, the ' he bet against Everton ' line, grow up you idiot, faries don't die when you bet against your own team, you just make money..........so you can go and watch more Everton games, oh but you don't do you!

Read it and weep Billy ! There is no bigger name at Everton than Lukaku, you might have wanted him shipped out for a loss because you couldn't see his quality, and you've waisted years slagging him off, but when I talk Everton to any football fan at the moment.........it's Lukaku they are interested in and maybee the manager, but mainly Lukaku. Seems most on here want to build a team around..........LUKAKU ! Someone quote this so Billy can take a squint.Should be worth another 2,000 posts about how Lukaku turned a corner because he took his (Billys) advice. Oh, let's save him some time, YES, we know Lukaku didn't have a great game at Stoke......funny thing is I don't recall too many other Blues pulling up any trees that night, but hey let's just slag Luakau........our £80MILLION beast.

Not looking forward to the day an £80million bid comes in, at the moment Everton is 'Lukaku'.......not Baines, Coleman, Barkley etc, whilst they 'are' good players, it's kind of all about Lukaku.Would be brilliant to build around him, but ask yourself, why wouldn't a mega rich team see £80million for a 23 year old who will improve as a bargin. We will have to show huge ambition to keep this lad, maybe we can do it.Signing a new contract doesn't mean he will stay, we need to remember that. There has been some Bullshit written about him, but most could see what he was capable of, well done Rom, you've got the football world looking at Everton, your scoring loads of goals..........and if you did leave us will make us loads of money.

We've still got to play the rs, could be the game that makes all the difference.

Afraid my wife's niece used to do this, buy tickets for any event then sell them on, pissed me off.She was certianly one to spot an opportunity, during the Wimbledon tennis tournament she used to vacate her house and rent it out to the players, had some big names stay and made some good money.Her husband was related to a 'player' wife danced with him before a big match, trod on his foot......and he lost the game, I always blamed her for that ! Back to 'ticket touts', should be stopped.

Yep, he's rubbish.

Great cross from Rom, is there anything he can't do !!

Happy days.

Everton 3 Bournemouth 0. Lukaku.

Noticed that piece of music was composed in 1878.........that was two good things that came from that year then.

Very good, my radio is usually fixed on classic fm. Are you the artist as well, spotted some paintings in the background.

Stoke 1 Everton 1. Barkley.

Robles and Davies should hold their place in the starting line up until they let their form slip.
