ironically they have both just asked to leave for a bigger club on my footy manager...and i've sold both the ungrateful gits

Good effort. I'm Port Vale atm. Just got James Wallace on Loan. Finding it hard to get out of League 1.

What Station did you hear this being reported on?

Talkshite?

This isn't Football Manager mate.

Can you qualify your best captain in the game comment? A captain to me is a leader on the pitch, an example being Dave Watson. Someone who leads by example, taking the game by the scruff of the neck and pushing the team. Neville is none of these, he is constantly 1 of the worst on the pitch for our team in terms of skill and what influence he brings to the result. Possibly 1 of the worst club captains ever in the history of Everton Football CluB

I hate to say it but when you start describing what a great Captain is all I could think about was Gerard, how many times has he done just the above when they've been on their arse in games.

I also have a theory that he is on the Arsenal payroll

He's Stoke bound.

+ I wasn't even blagging it, I was actually moving to Malaysia.

 

Anyone know the clubs policy on refunds because I doubt I wil be able to go midweek with work the next day?

 

All it says on the official site its that the tickets are valid for the rearranged game

I got a refund for the Birmingham game that got called off around Xmas last year. I called the club and told them I was moving to Malaysia and wouldn't be able to make the the fixture. They gave me a FULL refund.

Canna fault them for that.

BASTARDS. That could actually prove to be more important than some may thing.

I think a one year deal is a way of saying "we're not 100% sure about you".

Agree, but if he's got any minerals he will see as that way himself and work harder. I'd love to see Baxter make it with Everton. I've got him on Twitter and he strikes me as a decent young lad. On the pitch I haven't seen enough of him. Maybe that will change this year.

Disappointed with that but not surprised.

Josh McEachran will hopefully come into his own at Chelsea, would love to see him get a chance this term.

Also, Ryan Shotton at Stoke. Scored recently for them in Europe. I'd like to see him get more time.

You wouldn't even been considering him if Stoke wouldn't have bagged in on a free mate. My boss is a West Ham fan, he couldn't speak with more negativity bout the Upson.

However, there are other free signings I'm a bit frustrated at us not even taking a look at (as far I'm aware anyway). What about the likes of Carew, Sebastian Larsson, Johan Elmander, or Hitzlsperger?

The 2 Manc teams, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea will take the top 5 places.

 

The term 'TOP 5' will evolve this year - mark my words.

I'd agree with that. I can't see the us finishing above Spurs but I couldn't see us finishing 4th in 04/05.

A few injuries and we are up shit creek.

Everton v Sheffield United - So this will be played on the 22nd right?

We need Guye, Barkley and Vel, Val, Vellio, Vallio, fuck it, the Greek lad to come real good. I'm talking about in the shape of the iconic 90's "You'll never win anything with Kids", Man Utd good.

If not, then like someone said above, keep out of administration & keep Moyes.

I have had enough of Tim Cahill. He is always in my football manager office moaning about something

 

Too much training, doesnt like Barkley, wants to talk to Arsenal

Yea but don't sell him. Any money you'll get will go straight to the banks!

Thanks for posting mate, good read. Can't help but thinking where we could have gone with qualification. But thats Football isn't it? Ifs & buts.

Tut.

Everton will outlast all my birthdays, marriages, births and bereavements. It will outlast all my friendships. It is one of the few constants I will take to my grave. I don’t say that in a ‘Everton till I die’ way, either. Why a football club arouses such devotion and loyalty (you’re far more likely to leave your partner than your team), is beyond me. Perhaps it’s the association with one’s childhood. Like a lot of things, I feel I should have grown out of it. But I haven't. Damned club.

Nail. Head.

It's a family thing, something I share with my Dad and one of the only things he had in common with his. Its the memories Goodison holds for me as a Kid, Z Cars, Duncan Ferguson, David Unsworth & Gravesen, Scouse Pies, those blue stones that go around the pitch, Everton mints, Chang, OPERATION GOODISON EXERCISE, The Wilmslow, "Everton's gonna win the cup, big Dave's gonna lift them up, Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, Horse Shit on the Bullens Road, Stanley Park & the Color Blue.

Do we all actually agree that we can get 7th this term?

the thing about messing up team spirit has always seemed media led to me.

apart from dabo, for obvious reasons, he doesnt get a bad rep from other players.

and by all accounts the only time he gets angry with his team mates is when they arent pulling their weight, which i have absolutely no problem with at all.

Good Point.

I really am stuck in two minds when it comes to Barton.

No one can question his Footballing ability. I watched the Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal game and he practicality dragged the Skunks along by himself. We are in the shit. If we don't sign him I seriously think we won't see one addition. So that's why I want him.

However,

He's a Gobshite. The one thing every player at EFC says is just how great our team spirit is. I'd hate for anything to spoil that. I do wonder if Moyes has spoken to some of the Senior players about this, Nev, Tim, Mikel, Howard or Silvan to see what they think. Then if Moyes does meet him tomorrow, I hope he reads him the riot act about how to present himself at our club. The last thing we need is him coming in and creating waves.

If he does sign I do hope he gets shot of that silly mustache, this isn't 1943 Joey.

i think the original quote about aj and beattie was taking the piss mate.

I hope not, I just spent five minutes writing that. Twat.

Looking back now. Yes. But that isn't my point. At the time when they were brought they would have been classed as assets wouldn't they? I mean, I might be wrong here, but I'm sure if you can sell something then it's an 'asset'.

Asset = "Anything tangible or intangible that is capable of being owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset"

When they (AJ & Beats) were brought, we all would have assumed they could have produced 'revenue' if/when they were sold. I mean, Sir Alex actually considered Beattie, but opted for spending his cash on C. Ronaldo!!!
