Lowensda Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 So below is the Webchat that took place with Leon Osman and Tony Hibbert Thursday 7th July 2011 Andrew Smith: Is there banter over who's the bigger scouser? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:40 LO: I'll have to go for Jose (Gromit) or is other half, Wallace. Pair of numpties. tonytwelvetoes: ossie what is your prefered position? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:37 LO: Centre midfield. Always has been. I haven't got the pace to be a winger. Although I can still skin Hibbo. AlexBrownEFC: Why didn't Tony score against Burnley instead of diving? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:46 TH: I got foulled!!! LO: I had a fiver on him winning a pen. Barry Williams: will you both play in the mersey masters for everton in the future Thursday July 7, 2011 18:47 LO: If my body hasn't packed up on me by then, I would. Its about time we bucked our ideas up in that competition. TH: I think my knees will be gone before Ossie's because I'm carrying him an awful lot. LO: hahahahah. That's not what you were saying with 20 minutes to go in the Chelsea game! Padzoid: Hibbo, what's it going to be? A last minute penalty against liverpool or a 45 yarder against man u? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:49 TH: A pen against Liverpool. LO: Pen against Liverpool. I've seen him score a 45 yarder against Utd in the youth team. He fell over it. BlueAce1878: What is your favorite Goodison memory? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:50 LO: Its hard to pick a single moment. But when you get a goal in the last minute to win a match, its special. TH: It would have to be a derby win - hard to pick which one though. Maybe Cars' game in 2004. LO: You didn't win a derby until I got in the team. phillips_efc: Hibbo we saw the picture of you and that massive fish in an Everton shirt, did you bring it on holiday with you? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:53 TH: The fish or the shirt? LO: He takes that fish everywhere! EmDeeEl: both of you have both been given the armband on different occasions, do you enjoy the opportunities to boss each other around (also- who's the best foreign player each of you have played alongside) Thursday July 7, 2011 18:54 TH: Tommy Grav maybe? LO: I love wearing the armband - Tommy Grav was class on the ball but peanut and mikey are close Sahir Sachdev: Best friend who is a player for another team? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:55 TH: I hate everyone who plays against us. LO: He genuinely does. Chaddy, Faddy or Keith Southern are mine. Graeme Lomas: Hibbo, should be due a testimonial soon? (is it still 10 years to get a testimonial??). Would you be interested in one, and who would you play? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:57 TH: I'd love to have one. LO: He deserves one. Its a great achievement - maybe you should voice it at the next home game? bucks_fizz: who is the worst player you've played with? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:58 TH: Stubbsy was one of them. haha Thursday July 7, 2011 18:59 lizforster9: Leon - have you ever got hibbo with one of your pranks? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:59 LO: No, he's usually in on it with me. And half the time, I'm doing them with him. TiaMariaTruBlue: Hibbo did you put the fish back? =[ Thursday July 7, 2011 19:00 TH: Coarse fishing you put every coarse fish back. Thursday July 7, 2011 19:01 Tom Mc A: He didn't really wear the shirt it was photo edited or what ever haha Thursday July 7, 2011 19:01 TH: haha. I took the shirt with me for the owner of the comapny that I fish with - he's a mad Gooner. BlueAce1878: Who does Pip point at more, Hibbo or Ossie? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:02 TH: Who is Pip? And why is he pointing at us? AlexBrownEFC: According to the daily mail Bily is our fastest player... surely this isn't true?! Thursday July 7, 2011 19:02 LO: Daily Mail is wrong pal. TH: Don't believe everything you read in the papers. LO: How many times do I have to tell you? I'm the fastest man at the club. TH: If the fastest man is pulling a caravan. Thursday July 7, 2011 19:04 Jack Flaherty: whos the best player in the world? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:04 TH: Ossie LO: Hibbo ry Thomas: Hibbo, i heard you scored a screamer in training once, do you think if you were given the chance of a penalty, would you take it? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:04 TH: I always score screamers in training - I'm getting sick of it now. LO: He only scores screamers against T How - he tries his nuts off against him. eano Ibanez: You guys are my 2 favorite Everton players! Leon I heard you are a bit of a joker in the dressing room, what's the best trick you've pulled on a team mate? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:05 LO: The best stunts I've pulled are the ones where nobody knows it was me. TH: Apart from me. LO: Although we did do Jimmy Comer with a cake last year. That was hilarious. Liam Ryley: who has the worst dress sense in the team Thursday July 7, 2011 19:07 TH: Nev LO: Felli - he looks like he sleeps in his clothes. Thursday July 7, 2011 19:08 PiggyplumPiggy: Leon , did you still think you were going play a big part in Everton's future even when you were playing for Carlisle and Derby ? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:08 LO: I always knew I'd be coming back. Thursday July 7, 2011 19:09 EmDeeEl: is there music blaring in the changeroom before and after a game? do you guys ever get to pick the songs? what do you choose? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:09 LO: There's always songs on. But we don't pick them. We're too old to be bothering with that now. TH: There's a playlist before the game but Vic, T How or one of the other lads sorts it. Thursday July 7, 2011 19:10 Tony Mcgreavey: who was the player who swallowed a load of sand head first in pre season a few years ago ? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:10 TH: It was Felli at St Andrews I think. LO: It was brilliant. He came down a sand dune too fast and couldn't stop himself. It was a shock for him - that was his first week and he was puking up. Thursday July 7, 2011 19:11 badlydrawnblue1878: TONY you are my favorite player Thursday July 7, 2011 19:11 TH: Cheers la. LO: Yeah, cheers m ndy_Willow: I witnessed that 45 yarder for the youth team nobody has ever believed me, at burscoughs ground it was. You have got another one in you Hibbo, do you lads still speak to any of that youth team? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:13 LO: No it wasn't, it was at Gigg Lane. He's only ever scored three goals. TH: But they won us the Milk Cup, Premier League Youth section and in the third round of the Youth Cup against United. Big goals! niel Miller: Leon: My son is a big fan of yours and he wants to know if your goal against Larissa still your favourite or perhaps the one against City in May - or another? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:15 nick18blue: What would you mini five a side team from the current efc squad and you can't pick yourselves?? Thursday July 7, 2011 19:16 LO: T How in goal, Hibbo and Bainesy, Mikel and Louis TH: So you've got me and Bainesy doing all the running then?!? TH: T How, Bainesy, Jags, Ossie, Yak.

Thursday July 7, 2011 18:17 18:27 [Comment From David NichollsDavid Nicholls: ] Hibbo, anything planned for the long awaited goal celebration? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:27 David Nicholls 18:27 TH: I think I will look out for Ossie because I'm sure he'll be more chuffed than me - I don't think I could celebrate without Ossie around my neck! (he's not here yet btw - just on the phone to home) Thursday July 7, 2011 18:27 18:28 [Comment From iphillips_efciphillips_efc: ] Hibbo, when are you going to get twitter? #GetHibboOnTwitter Thursday July 7, 2011 18:28 iphillips_efc 18:28 TH: You've got to be busy to be on twitter, and I'm not busy. Nev's all over it though!!! Thursday July 7, 2011 18:28 18:29 [Comment From JonnieJoffroy6JonnieJoffroy6: ] I'm about to order a Domino's pizza, what toppings should I get? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:29 JonnieJoffroy6 18:30 LO: I'm here now Hibbo, settle down. Spicy chicken - its what I get. Thursday July 7, 2011 18:30 18:31 [Comment From John BennettJohn Bennett: ] Have you both thought what you will do when you decide to hang up your boots? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:31 John Bennett 18:32 TH: I'm hanging on to Ossie - he'll sort me a job. LO: I'm going to buy my local pub - if anybody fancies it. Evertonians can drink free. Thursday July 7, 2011 18:32 18:33 [Comment From Sean ButlerSean Butler: ] What are your opinions on the young players in the squad like Gueye, Silva, Vellios and Barkley. Will they be able to step up and fill in the first team? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:33 Sean Butler 18:34 TH: Jose and Wallace (Beavis & Butthead) are class. They can step up. LO: I think we've got quite a few good kids here. CHances of all of them making it are slim but I'm sure one or two will be permanent fixtures in the team within the next 2 years.

Thursday July 7, 2011 18:36 Jack Flaherty 18:36 TH: pre-season is a grind. Nobody really likes pre-season but its good to get back. LO: Its good to be back - but we're half a squad right now with the internationals away. Will be great to see them back Monday. And we will kick on from there. Thursday July 7, 2011 18:36 18:37 [Comment From tonytwelvetoestonytwelvetoes: ] ossie what is your prefered position? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:37 tonytwelvetoes 18:37 LO: Centre midfield.

Thursday July 7, 2011 18:37 18:38 [Comment From Kate CollinsKate Collins: ] Are either of you considering 'bowing down' and joining twitter for the banter with everyone? Thursday July 7, 2011 18:38 Kate Collins 18:39 LO: No. Not really my scene but I have been told people are following someone pretending to be me - I can assure you its not. I haven't got the time, or be a***d. Thursday July 7, 2011 18:39 18:39 [Comment From JonnieJoffroy6JonnieJoffroy6: ] Ossie, what pranks have you pulled since you left for Austria?

CHances of all of them making it are slim but I'm sure one or two will be permanent fixtures in the team within the next 2 years. This is very telling in my opinion. Maybe the guys mentioned (Gueye, Silva, Vellios) aren't actually expected to push on like we'd hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
