Cahill - Great Buy

I would just like to say what a spirited performance by the lads against Chelsea. Tim Cahill was the embodiment of that spirit and I have been mightily impressed with his contribution since he arrived from Millwall. He has that winning mentality that seems to be instilled in all aussie sports people. I think his kind of attitude is rubbing off on the rest of the team.

I for one turned my nose up when Moyes signed Martyn, Killa, Bent and Cahill. I thought we should have been aiming a bit higher but how wrong I have been. These players have all shown loyalty, commitment, skill and hard work and should be commended. Moyes has also demonstrated his skill in the transfer market.

Cahill has proved a far superior purchase to the other midfielders I wanted Everton to bring in, Ferguson, Emerton, Carrick and Sean Davis who have all failed to deliver at there respective clubs (some through no fault of their own i.e. injury or not being played - Carrick). Tim has made an instant impression - CONGRATULATIONS TIM. Thanks Martin. (11/11/04)

Thanks From New York

I'm writing on Friday afternoon in New York, with the Chelsea match just hours away now, and if I learned anything from my three days in Liverpool last month, it's that most of you are already on your way to Stamford Bridge. I'll be rooting with you from the States, I promise.
Just wanted to let all of you know again how much I appreciated the generous treatment on my visit. I couldn't have imagined a better trip, and the Blue Kippers were a big reason why. Can't wait to get back there soon for another match and another day (and night) of pints with you all.

Anyway, I'm finally registered on the Blue Kipper message boards as well, so I'll make the occasional appearance there as well -- I might post this so it's available to the folks whose emails I don't have. Hopefully in a month or so, when (as I told most of you) our first son is born, I'll have some photos of him in his "Tiny Toffee" outfit I picked up from the Megastore to post on the site as well. Hope everyone's well, look forward to hearing from you. Ryan Jones, New York Blue. (11/11/04)

Sunny Blues

Recently I was in Benidorm. Walking along the sandy beach, I heard several scouse accents, all playing footie. Noticing two lads in Everton shirts, I decided to ask them for a game. "Yeah mate. red or blue?" I told them I was a true blue and joined their side. As things turned out, they were playing reds v blues. We won the game 12-4. I scored an hat-trick, kicked sand in the eyes of a red shite, got bevvied up and built a sand castle. Happy days. Great site lads, keep it up, from Duncans pigeon. (11/11/04)

Everton Supporters - Simply The Best

What great support we had on saturday I would like to thank the fella behind me who had me in stitches with some of the songs he was singing. Like 'We're gone win the league'. At first everyone laughed, but as we all started singing it felt great. I went home singing it all night and I couldn't get it out of my head all weekend.

So whoever the fella was at the back thank you for keeping us going the whole game. You had us creased up hopefully your going to Arsenal. Does frank lampard really take it up the ass?? Any way I was proud to sit and watch our team supported by some great fans, and I loved seeing the Chelsea fans looking very worried. We didn't lose this one for me. It was a clear message that Everton are back. And. (11/11/04)

We Do Trust Moyesy

Kevin Latham has it right, we do trust in DM. The last time we had a "team of no stars" that won a few games was in the mid eighties. The media cast that back-handed jibe when we were 13 points ahead of the rest of English football in 1985! We are a long way from those heady days, but we are playing good stuff and- hopefully - January will give Moyes the chance to extend his excellent record in the transfer market.

We just won't go away!

What can anyone say about what Davey Moyes & the players have achieved so far this season? All the media, TV pundits & so-called experts are still waiting for our inevitable slide down the league. Well I've got news for the whole sorry bunch of them - it ain't going to happen! I'm not sure whether losing our "One-man team" status (i:e selling crocky fat-lad) is having such a positive effect on the squad or that the team spirit & confidence are back with a vengeance from 2 season's ago but something somewhere is working big-time.

I really do wonder, if over the last 18 months the rest of the squad must have thought sometimes ...." It doesn't matter how I play, boy-wonder will get all the lime-light anyway -so why bother?" - Or was it reading all the Pre-season doom & gloom made them think "We are better than that". Along with the couple of new signings , it's the same squad but with added commitment & a real self-belief that we can go out & beat anyone. If anyone ever doubted Davey Moyes ability in the darkest hours of last season, (well be honest many did ). It's now apparent that this man is truly the best in the World just now! Just keep smiling Blues! Richie Deane. (03/11/04)

Quality For Europe

The improvement Everton has made we love it. What has to happen now. Players bought by Moyes excellent. Next on the menu if we keep the pole position we still need players of quality if we have any chance in the coming years of maintaining a hold on Europe. Fuck did I just say that. From rags to riches its unreal. Still love the idea we are rubbing shoulders with the big spenders. It's really pissing all the other wannabes off. Thank you all for the work carried out. COYB. John Lea. (01/11/04)

First Game

Bloody hell, what a game, it was my first ever and i got in the Park End!! We didn't win, but we didn't lose either! The atmosphere was awesome! It was great when Bent scored for us, an the Everton crew chanted back at
the Villa shite! I think Grav played well, an we cant lose him! Come on lads, I've been a blue before i was in the womb, keep up the good work. Steph. (01/11/04)

In Moyes We Trust

Like most Bluenoses I'm pleasantly surprised that we're sitting 3rd in the league, and even though I'm writing this before the Villa game, we'll stay there whatever the results do today. But there are too many gobshites out there who resent the fact that we are where we are - we've proved too many people wrong by not scrambling at the bottom. Well, to all you gobshites, we're there on merit. And had we beaten Spurs (which we should have done) we'd be second now, level in fact on goal difference with the best side in the league. Way above the redshite, way above the Mancs and their Everton cast off.

But are we given any credit? Of course not. We're a good battling team with tremendous spirit, they say. Fuck off, I say. Because we've also been playing some classy football this season, the likes of which we haven't seen for a good many years. We've moved the ball around well, supported the player on the ball, moved well off it, and played a great passing game. Oh, and we've won away 4 times and October hasn't even ended.

Sky TV who, as you know, invented football in 1992 (Year 1), must be shitting their pants in case the redshite, Mancs and the Skunks (who they also invented as above) don't make any sort of a challenge. Even if they did we're good enough to withstand it. No, we don't fit in with the "profile" that Sky and the media want, so we're called a team of workers and compared to greece in the Euros as an example of what team spirit without skill can do.

Take no notice. We ARE a good side, and the bubble WON'T burst. Yes we need a squad with more depth, but we all know that Davie M will sort that come January. And speaking of David Moyes, is any praise too high? He must be the best manager in the league bar none, as well as being a dignified one and a credit to our club. Get him signed for years and pay the man what he's worth. With him in charge we will be back where we belong challenging at the top. We've had so many false starts over the years but Davie is there now.

So, fellow Evertonians, let them say what they want, we know the true picture. We should know by now that we'll never get any credit whatever we do because we're not Man U or Arsenal - or even Newcastle for that matter. Fuck them all, we're Everton. Ferguson was talking about tradition last week - what does he know? Before The Busby Babes in the late 1950's they were no marks, City were the big Manc team. If you want tradition look no further than your blue shirt. We're on our way back, in Moyesie we trust. Keep the faith you chosen ones. And hello to me old Irish pal Jackie Murphy, a great Evertonian. Kevin Latham. (01/11/04)

Players Are Too Old

I am obviously amazed and delighted at the start to the season but I do think that we have to really lower the average age of the players sometime soon. We have done splendidly despite the lack of pace and guile but effort will not do it alone. I think we need at least one good, young, pacy centre back to play alongside Yobo next season and a play maker in midfield.

We had an average age of just under 30 against Norwich and it was well over that when we subbed Osman and Cahill. All great sides build while they are winning and if we have any ambition for the next few seasons we have to drastically alter the present team. I am afraid we are really threadbare if we have a couple of injuries.

Our two young squad players Fox and Gerrard are both only 18, so we need players in the 23 to 27 age bracket.
Otherwise this season may well be just an Indian summer. I am not being pessimistic, I think I am being realistic.
Does anyone agree? Trev Lynes. (30/10/04)

Yobo - A Star

Went the Preston game, managed to get in although I was at the turnstyles at 7pm! Joseph Yobo was my man of the match last night, he won everything in the air and he remains calm and controlled on the ball even in situations when your sitting there with your arse on the outside of your pants. Now this is just a thought. As Stubbs and Weir are playing well and keeping young Joey out the side, why not try him in Carsley's holding role on Saturday against Villa. He'll do a good job and there will be a bit of height in midfield? Anyways, Up the blues, Keep the Faith. Greg, Maghull. (30/10/04)

Hibbert Having A Great Season

I'm not sure if this will be on the website in time, but just in reply to the email sent in about Tony Hibbert after the Norwich game! I thought he was brilliant, just the same as he has been all season. Ronaldo never got a kick against Utd, neither did Zenden or Berger in fact. Tony Hibbert had an awful season last year, but he has been one of Everton's best this season. Don't understand why people get on the blue boys backs when we are 3rd in the league, everyone is playing for each other, and everyone is playing well. Apart from Norwich look how many goals our defence has leaked!!!!!
Get behind the blue boys and lets bring the glory days back! Alan Shaw. (30/10/04)
