Thanks

I see Alan Stubbs, Alessandro Pistone and Steve Watson have left. I would just like to say thank you to all three of them for helping the club I have supported for 44 years avoid relegation and restore our footballing pride. This was a big ask of the players this time last year and yet they pulled it off despite the odds. Once again, thank you lads, and all the best with whatever club you end up going to - you've done us proud.

While I'm writing - can you smell the air brothers? The war banner is in the air once more! Come on the Blues! Laurie from Oz. (12/07/05)

That was lucky!

Thank God Mark Hughes had the sense to buy Bellamy. In years to come we will all go Phew! that was close. I really don't know what Moyesy was thinking about. Did he think he could tame Bellamy? That he could become a model professional? Can you imagine him performing in the dressing room with Cars and Dunken around, there would be blood. No I'm happy he's gone elsewhere. OK he is a class player but not one for the Blues.

Transfers

Well here we go again. We find ourselves in a truly remarkable position, season ticket sales through the roof, biggest ever TV money, we do actually look an attractive prospect. But can we sign a world class player? Can we
fuck. The board have again dipped out on some talented players. Is it a coincidence that we missed out on Parker, Emre and Sissoko? In my opinion no. They don't seem to have the bottle in the transfer market as other teams. If we stand still in the transfer market you can kiss our dreams of cementing our beloved team in the top five of the country goodbye. Come on Bill prove me wrong. Two signings is nowhere near enough to get us where we want to be. Dan Brierley. (12/07/05)

No Neck, No Loss

I’m so pleased that we didn’t sign Craig Belamy. The no-necked, foetus-faced pygmy embodies all that is wrong in football: he’s a cynical, moaning cheat who’s obviously only in it for the money, and I’m certain he would have disrupted the great team spirit that helped us achieve so much last season. We’re much better off without him. Dave Cornmell. (12/07/05)

Players Wages

Until everton start offering proper salaries we will be lucky to attract any good players to the club. SHIT WAGES MEANS SHIT PLAYERS. Scott Parker wasn't being greedy, he was on £55k so why should he take a drop to play for any one else. All Everton are offering is a drop in salary and a chance to play in a qualifier that might lead to the uefa cup then obscurity again with the current squad of players. Last season of high drama we adopted the greek style of play that worked well but it took us a long time to change after grav left and we nearly blew it. If we don't properly strengthen the squad for the coming campaign I fear the worst, I don't know if my nerves will live up to another season like the last. At the time of writing we haven't signed any one of note hence my frustration in this letter. Chris Simpson. (12/07/05)

Transfers

I'M SORRY, BUT OUR TRANSFER POLICY IS FUCKING SHITE. AFTER ALL THE SHIT THAT WE HAD TO PUT UP WITH LAST SUMMER, IT IS NOW LOOKING LIKE WE WILL START THE MOST IMPORTANT SEASON FOR DECADES WITH LESS PLAYERS THAN LAST YEAR!!! WHY CANT WE TIE UP DEALS IN ONE GO INSTEAD OF LETTING EVERY OTHER FUCKER KNOW WHO WE ARE CHASING? EVEN THE SHITE ARE TAKING PLAYERS FROM UNDER OUR NOSES!

THE BOARD ARE A FUCKING DISGRACE. THEY SHOULD ALL FUCK OFF AND LET SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN INSTEAD. HOPE I'M WRONG BUT DONT BE SUPRISED TO SEE US OUT OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BEFORE SEPTEMBER IS OUT. PAY THE PLAYERS WHAT THEY WANT OR RISK SEEING THEM KNOCKING US OUT OF ALL COMPETITIONS WHILE PLAYING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE! DAVE. (12/07/05)

Bellamy

On Hearing the new that Angry head, girls hair Bellamy has gone to Blackburn, I cannot tell you how relieved I am.
My opinion is that he didn't have the bottle to join Everton. He knew he would have to keep his mouth shut and be part of a hard working honest bunch of lads who stand no bullshit and get away with nothing. For me I think he made the best decision for Everton and I wish him all the best at Blackburn. He has done us a massive favour. I still believe that Tommy is coming home in the next few weeks. Sean. (12/07/05)

TWO EQUATIONS

DAVID MOYES BEST MANAGER IN THE PREMIERSHIP + EVERTON F.C. FINISH FOURTH IN PREMIERSHIP =
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL.

SCOTT PARKER SIGNS FOR BARCODES (14TH) + MOUTHY BELLAMY SIGNS FOR BLACKBORIN ROVERS (15TH) =
SOFT OPTION WHERE NOT TOO MUCH EXPECTED OF THEM.

THEREFORE NO BOTTLE. BEST WISHES TO EVERTONIANS EVERYWHERE. DYLAN MORGAN

Scratching Around On Transfer Deadline Day

Yet again it appears "Dithering Dave" has failed in his latest transfer targets. We go from being favourites to sign the likes of Bellamy and Sissoko to all so rans. There is clearly something amiss here. If this were a new thing it wouldn't be a worry, but this is reminiscent of the Sean Davies fiasco of two closed seasons ago. Whilst we have no concerns over Moyes's ability to get the best out of his current players, surely this failure to attract players is a serious concern.

It is all very well bidding for the likes of Parker, Bellamy & Emre, but if we aren't going to pay the wages they are unlikely to join us. There will not be many fans out there who would accept a 20% wage reduction to move from one company to another - the same applies for footballers, although on a completely different scale.

Forgetting about Champions League/UEFA Cup we desperately need quality signings to try and maintain a healthy league position next year. If we are serious about signing a player go all out to get him, but if we can't afford his wages in the first place then forget about it and don't waste everyone's time and build false optimism amongst the fans.

Regrettably I can see us scratching round on transfer deadline day getting second rate players that other clubs overlooked. Regards. Chris O. (12/07/05)

We Need Numbers

We are all on edge about the squad right now, who is coming in and who is going out. The fact is we need some numbers in, our squad is too small for the extra fixture demands now we are in Europe. Stubbsey and Watson will be missed, we now hope Kroldrup will fit into the back four, maybe a long term partner for Yobbo with Davey Weir not being so young. I am hoping Morretti can come in and give us some new blood on the left, Pistone was never good at going forward, couldnt cross a ball, ( OK he did set up Dunc against Notlob, but one good cross all season?) and his link up with Killa never produced much.

Our midfield made me proud this year, and after losing Tommy (my MOTM so often) Mikel Tater seemed a perfect mix in there, and well suited to the European style of play, I would still like to see him sign on. Naysmith getting a three year deal is a suprise to me especially with Pisto and Watson going, both better players.

And then we come to Mr Bellamy, his pace and finishing are without question a big plus to any squad, but the gaffer and players lay a lot of importance on squad stability, a good team spirit got us far this year, so I trust the boss to get it right as he usually does, though the jury is still out on Biffa, the six million dollar man.

So to summarise, we still need bodies in, but the right ones, panic is never good so we must hold firm and trust the new boys coming in will gel with the squad and be as good a result for us as Benty and Tiny were last season.
Come on you blue boys, lets keep building on what we've got, things might just come good again this year!
Andy, Deganwy, Wales. (12/07/05)

Be Patient

Lets not get carried away. Last year was a great finish, Moyes has ten years to turn this club around. It's taken twenty years to fall behind. So lets be patient my fellow blues! COYB. John Lea. (12/07/05)

You Can Keep Yer Greedy Bastards

Stevie G is he staying or going???? Who gives a fuck, I`ve been watching events unfold from out here in Brazil with interest, as the shite try to prove that they are still a big club by hanging on to their no-browed underachieving skipper.

I actually think it`s a good thing for us if he stays, I know they fluked the champions league, but [please god] surely that can't happen again, and lets face it with him in the team they`ve never achieved fuck all apart from that freakish game.[ oh I forget they won 17 trophies in one season with houllier or was it 20??] Hopefully he`ll stay forever and screw the club he 'loves' for a new contract and an extra 10-15 grand a week every three weeks as he has done for the past few years.

As for the mighty Blues missing out on Parker was disappointing but do we want some prick like Gerrard?? lose two games and he`s reconsidering his future, unless of course he gets a pay rise, maybe I`m being unfair to Parker, but judging by the choice he`s made by joining the skunk pantomime he`s a greedy cunt and were better off without.

I for one support Moyes transfer tactics 100%, sure we`ll miss out on a few, but whoever comes wants to come, and that`s got to be better, anyway like we say have faith in the Moyes. We`ll be ok, while them bunch of pricks with their greedy skipper and Spanish mercenaries underachieve under their tactical genius [Harry Kewel in the final!?!?] of a manager. Onward and upwards. COYB. Blue in Brazil. (12/07/05)

Everton Shirt Appeal

I understand I have left this late, but I am due to go to Russia next Saturday to do some voluntary work refurbishing a run down, but fully operating orphanage, with a charity group called 'Komso Kids'.

I went last year with the group to refurbish part of the orphanage, and it was sad to see these children with no possessions that they can cherish. I gave my Everton shirt to a young girl last year, and intend to do the same
this year, but I am looking for anyone with old shirts I can take over to give out to a new breed of Russian Evertonians, as other scousers who go over with loads of Redshite shirts, it would be nice to drown them out!

I was wondering if it was at all possible to maybe appeal for old shirts on your site that I could take over next week? If there maybe any possibility of running with this could you contact me on email address cmoodyefc@yahoo.co.uk.

Kind regards, Chris Moody. (12/07/05)

Skitz

The fella in the pic with our new commercial manager, i understand he's part of bluekipper.com
I sit near him at the games and he's off his head!!! He once had a go at this fella for swearin n complainin all the time, and then he's goes and does it himself 5 minutes later! He goes completely mad and has a kind of 'skitz' if you could tell him to calm down so he doesn't give himself a hernia it would be good not only for the people who sit near him, but for his health!!! Let me no how it went when you broke this to him, if your still alive! cheers John. (12/07/05)
