i actually agree with this, especially the point of evolution, things come in cycles, its strange what an injury can do for other players, and if pointed out they continue strongly, why tamper with a winning formula, anyhow, its early days regarding our 3 big victories on the spin, lets see how we fare against pompey, also we havnt been behind yet, and thats were neville comes into it, his leadership qualities are exceptional, he has picked the players up so many times, whether it be telling them verbally, or showing them on the pitch in a tackle etc

dont mean to correct you mate, but thats 5 assists in 2, even better!! 2 corners and the pass to pienaar vs aek, and the 2 for yak and jo I went up to hull and it was relatively easy. Some people mentioned that the radio broadcasters said we wernt too good during the second half. But we never wanted to go forward that much, we just passed it round the pitch, more of a training excercise to be honest. I know it was only the carling cup, but there fans are awful. Massive relegation candidates, theres just no backing behind there team, plus now sections of there fans want brown out. Anyhow, Hull was a sh!thole, and thats saying something coming from walton, liverpool haha. We had to go to a social club because the other pubs wernt allowing away fans, like there was even any hull fans at the game the other night haha Defence not really tested until the dying minutes, so i wouldnt say that gave us a clear indication if heitinga will be worthwile as a centre half... Rodwell was great again, winning the balls 90% of the time. We retained possession well too, which we have been doing for the past few games. Someone also mentioned the radio said billy looked slow etc, think it was sharpy on the radio who said that? Bloody hell give the lad a chance, his awareness is exceptional, knows were everyone is on the park, ok, he lost possession a few times on the line, but as round says, we wont see the best from him for a good few weeks yet, and the amount of assists in 2 games, i cant wait to see him in a few more weeks! Top pro perfomance from the lads, hope we do pompey, but i have a strange feeling, its time they got a point on the board, hope not though, on sky sports too, so something to look forward to

Billy is fit and should play some part :) i hope he puts balls into the box like he did v athens, amazing!!! http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/billy-fit-for-hull-test.html

sounds like a good job to me! And thanks mate

well, the blackburn players stayed over in the radisson i think it was before the game the other night, my sisters mate works there and gets to speak to all the players, as she can serve them etc, blackburn players went into town saturday for a piss up, when there not allowed, they came back and diouf and sum other fella who my sisters mate didnt recognise went upstairs with 2 birds, later on the 2 birds got off, and diouf asked for 1 condom to be brought upstairs, my sisters mate had to take it in an envelope, unaware at the time it was a condom, and she said diuof answered the hotel door with nothing on, apart from holdin his tic tacs with one hand while recieving the envelope in the other, he then closed the door, But there was no girls in the room! My sisters mate only found out what was in the envelope when she came back down, and the next morning, they got speaking about someone, who i cant remember, but diuof said that his wife knew this other girl really well and my sisters mate turned around and said well what was that condom for in front of his whole team, they were all meant to have gone quiet haha, someone told me today he likes men aswell, i hadnt heard that before i dont think, but it seems he likes a bit of both lol :gay:

haha how about "The Pocketless Club" that might be good for potential investors haha

i dont usually reply if i dont have anything relative to say on the matter but that was funny hahaha

yeah i would go with a near full strength squad, lets not write hull off, bad start i know, but they are a premier league side, so lets not take too many chances, i think something like the CC is a comp that everton have a good chance of winning, and who wants to deny us some silverware? Im going up to hull to see the game, hope there is many blue supporters there too, Any you guys going or no of anyone going? Also good areas for a drink before the game etc?

anyone know how much he will be on with us?

excellent assessment, i couldnt disagree with anything you said!

cptn ferguson i would agree with most of your assessment of the match apart from fellaini and osman. I probably would have gave osman 6 for his endeavour, he did skin there players more times than he lost the ball, ok his final ball wasnt the best, but he isnt a wide man, hes a central midfielder playing on the line so of course his final ball aint guna be the best. Fellaini i thought showed the qualities last night that made moyes buy him from liege, he didnt relii attack he just sat deep like rodwell picking up the pieces, he slowed play down well which we needed with it bein a european match, and he passed it on, some of the balls he took out the air with great control was what i like seeing of felli. Maybe the pace of the prem bemuses him at times, but last night he done a fantastic job and was one of my motm's

he's done my head in this season with his stupid long balls, ok maybe he needs a lil better support, but i thought he was a better player than that, it winds me up, not just at the fulham match either, his accuracy has been dire with these long balls too, pointless...

me also... I think were easily capable of beating athens, it depends if our team turns up for 2 halves instead of one

your right bill im fed up of hearing, no end product from pienaar, do you watch or go the game? You wil see pienaar works his socks off to not only win possession back for the team but he also starts attacks aswell. He will take the ball and pass it on, the most effective pass is a simple one, around 8 players on the pitch for everton dont comprehend this fact. When pienaar recieves the ball 3/4s up the field, when hes not having to covers baines arse, he will get to the line and put a ball in, failing that he'll hold posession and bring other players in.

i agree, i just didnt feel safe having him there against crap opposition , never mind europa leaagu opposition

you know what, id give it to distin, he has a mouth on him, and isnt afraid to let the team know there faults. it has to be a defender or howard for me though, someone who can see the game from the back with good knowledge and experience. It wont be distin it will probably be yobo has someone mentioned, as hes been vice captain for a while

yer

i dont believe this who can play right back now? is coleman eligible to play lol

It shouldnt come down to hindsight mate, as we all knew at teh time of the subs that they were the wrong ones bily is fit, hes had quite a few games in russia, i honestly don't know why he never give him some time on the pitch, yak is no were near fit yet, it was just plain silly bringing him on when we needed 11 players on the pitch playing there socks off.. I was really frustrated yesterday, as liek everyone else, those 3 points were ares, and through silly tactics and substitutions, and not reacting to fulham upping there game, its now them who are 10th in the league...

i picked pienaar, as i thought he tried his best in every situation, unlike a few that seemed to just be goin thru the gears

do have we got this fella on trial or what? and doesnt anyone know anythin more, whether we will get him or not? we might aswell if hes out of contract, and as ppl say can be cover for our defenders

exactly that 19-0 to arteta, harsh haha

sorry i never meant you, i know thats what moyes has said and i meant it towards his comments, the way hes starting to progress with his passing ability etc, as someone else said it would be wasted in central defence

the way hes performing in the centre now, y the hell would you wanna then drop him into the central defence role. He will be a midfield dynamo once all his best qualities shine permantely. I personally cannot wait for him as a player to grow, and hopefully stay a blue aswell!
