Thomas Gravesen, Evertonian!

Once again we hear rumblings of player discontent at our great club, well Mr Gravesen I ain't seen any form from you yet to be even placed in the best 200 to have played on that great pitch. I have held back my thoughts for a week or so just to make sure my feelings aren't going to be a bit knee jerkish or even a bit thumb in the mouth, here goes. When I first heard the words of Gravesen I thought quite true we don't seem to have a plan as to where we want to go as a club and we don't have much in the way of money and I will come back to those later but Mr Gravesen (or can I call you tom) no I think I will keep it Mr Gravesen.

I couldn't give a shit if you leave tomorrow in fact I will drive you to the fucking airport, for all the blues out there please don't think I am having a dig at our great club because I love Everton but when you get these falls earning as much as they do when they say things that split our club in two like this guy has then I personally wont stand for that yesterdays result stands up to what I am saying, we have a lot of injuries at the moment and we can't get a decent team out, Mr Gravesen keep picking up your wages but just wind your neck in.
As for the lack of direction I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of Walter smith look Walter if you cant even sort out tactics please leave we looked like an amateur side yesterday made to look mediocre by a load of south London barrow boys

As for the lack of money well I'm sorry when it comes to big hitters in the finance stakes Bill ain't the man because the unfortunate facts are if you ain't,t got money the banks wont lend you any so it all looks quite bleak, the answer to that is that no it isn't because as I always say money doesn't solve problems but good management does and if we get the right person in to do that job you wont get murmurings of discontent because the guy would get rid if them before he could speak out like that and also he would always have plans for a year ahead 3 yrs ahead etc so the answer to our problem is good management and quite frankly I don't think Walter has got it I don't like calling for any persons job because I wouldn't like someone doing that to me but I really feel we need to look at someone new like the fella at Preston anyway I think I'm going on again.
Happy New Year to anyone that thinks breaths eats and sleeps Blue. Blue blood brother. (31/12/01)


Invest in the Team

Skip king´s dock and invest the money in a good team. If not Everton will go down in the first division.....and then ?? Jan. (31/12/01)


Excuse??

The official site reports that Smith isn't blaming Radzinskis early departure for our [humiliating] defeat against Charlton. So is he, like me, blaming our ineptness on our shite team and shite manager?
What upsets me more than being a shit team however, is being a shit club. We now seem to be considered no bigger than the likes of Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton, and this is un-acceptable.
What qualifications does Kenwright have to be owner of Everton? Ok, so he,s blue through and through, and has blue blood running through his veins [yawn] but this can be said of most Evertonians, but we havent got any money either!! COL. (30/12/01)


Anyone for Cricket?

Does anyone know if Everton still play a cricket match against the shite in the summer anymore? I can remember going as a nipper with me dad. If I recall, Adrian Heath, was a bit nifty with a bat...as was Sammy Lee....must be something about short arses or something. My fondest memory was diving into a bunch of little red scallies as Ian Rush came to the field...they patted him on the back as I tried to kick the big-nosed bastard in the shins.....wasn't very successful as history will show, but at least I tried. Pete Gillespie. (30/12/01)


Couldn't fault the effort.

For the first 70 mins we more than matched Utd in the match. I thought Rhino had scored in the first half and we had a couple of other good chances. Xavier and the rest of the defence were superb. However I couldn't understand Wally bringing on Ferguson in the last 10 mins - it weakended the midfield and that was exploited for both goals. I would have brought Gazza (yes I know he did eventually) on instead and left it at that- he would have caused Utd more trouble than an unfit Ferguson. Saying that though - the players gave 100% and the 1st goal was unstoppable to save by any keeper. Lets hope we can get a good run in the cup this year - thats all we can look forward too for any glory. I wish.... Scot Kearney. (29/12/01)


Dean Ashton

Everton have offered 2million and danny cadamarteri for crewe's hot prospect dean ashton,walter sent archie to watch the goalmachine against stockport,while walter watched bobby zamora against nottscounty (he scored aswell) the news is tough crewe want a 35% sell on clause in his contract so now we are thinking over it. WATCH THIS SPACE...........Leslie Ball. (29/12/01)


Saint Mickey

Is it safe to sing "Kopites are gobshites" with Saint Mickey Blue eyes lurking about the Street end? Or "We'll hang the kopites one by one...? I'm scared to fart at half time incase Saint Mickey points me out to PC McGarry and the Trumpton truncheon squad.
Don't get me wrong I'm against rascism as the next thinking man - couldn't agree more with you Mickey, but if singing songs about Houligan's heart problem sickens you then I would like to apologise for every Evertonian who for the last thirty odd years as sung whole heartedly about how "we hate Bill Shankley...and we'll hang the Kopites..
By the way, just to prove WE are different to THEM - when Chelsea stuff us 4-0 you won't find many Blues blaming the ref for giving a goal kick instead of a corner. Funny enough in the same game the ref gave THEM a corner when Cudicini clearly didn't touch the ball over the cross bar.
Then again were all whackers! Blue and red hand in hand. No difference between us. Let's forget the two heavy dollops of shit they caused and never once took any responsiblity for. Let's pretend it never happened. We're all mates - we're all the same - Who are you kiddin? By the way Goodison was rife with rascist bigotry in the late eighties/early nineties - where was the crusades then? Freedom of speech - don't make me piss myself. (Whisper it, but don't shout it because Saint Mickey and the Righteous few will nail you to a cross - kopites are gobshites). PS, keep up the good work. Marko. (29/12/01)


Last Resort........

.......I vote we all chip in and get Joe-Max a true blue tattoo right on his forehead that says "STRIKER!!!!" Then, and perhaps only then, will that spavined auld Orangeman recognise that Moore is a striker and give him a runout. I mean, how much more of this tactical ineptitude can the club and it's supporters afford???? And am I the only one who thinks the rash of injuries may owe something to Smith and Knox having no effing clue as to how to physically perpare professional footballers?????????? Paul Daly, New York and Dublin. (29/12/01)


Time to go Walter, Before Gravesen does

Smith will be so happy and why? Because with him being so negative, he will see by only conceding two goals to Man U as an achievement. He would rather fill his team with defenders, playing them out of position. Yesterday he had strikers on the bench and started with Gravesen up front. WS tactics are S**** . He removed Blomqvest from the action; obviously he must have done too much attacking. How the hell Alexanderson stayed on for so long is beyond me. We had a winger eager to get on (Tal) but unfortunately he attacks too much for WS liking. I think Everton FC should not think negative like WS, and get shut of him. If not we will be a team with 38 thousand fans happily floating around the relegation area for years to come. Walter has had his best years at Rangers and is now just coasting to his retirement. Let’s just hope EFC aren’t coasting to an early Grave. Heard on Sky Sports Gravesen has said that he could not envisage seeing out his contract with us. He said the club lack ambition and that the management will not tell them what they hope to achieve. Enough said!! Mike Connolly, Wirral. (29/12/01)


XMAS OR XRATED REPORT

DAVID UNSWORTH: HOW LONG MUST WE TOLERATE A THIRD DIVISION DEFENDER MORE SUITED TO THE RIGOURS OF RUGBY LEAGUE. ANOTHER QUALITY PLAYER IN TOMMY GRAV IS UNHAPPY AT THE CLUB AND HINTS AT THE QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT AT THE CLUB. WALTER HAS LIVED ON HIS RANGERS REPUTATION FOR TOO LONG. I SAY GET RID OF THE HUN (AND HUN REJECTS) AND HIS SIDE KNOX (KICK). KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AT BLUE KIPPER. Hughesandcompany. (29/12/01)


Subs & Smiffo

Can't believe what Smith was playing at today,the substitution of Blomquist changed the game,granted Walter was correct to bring the Swede off as he was totally knackered,but Ferguson? Why not go like for like with Tal , he works back like Blomquist was doing,the Mancs 1st goal came as nobody was tight on Beckham,you can't give him time and space,if he wanted to bring Dunc on,take Moore or Radzinski off,then his party piece he has Ferguson on the pitch and no wingers as he takes Alexandersonn off.The game was for the taking for the first time in years,on the plus side I felt we just needed a break and it could have gone our way,but if I can see the obvious why can't Smith?

Europe's Empty ????

So Walter, if the press reports are true (ahem!) you have scoured the whole of Europe to find a striker who a) is available on loan b) has a physical presence, and c) can score goals. No one there hey ? Isn't it amazing then that I've just seen that BB Rovers are about to sign Savo Milosovic on loan. Well he would not have exactly been my first choice, but if memory serves me right, he has previous experience here (surely a pre requisite as it can take months to settle), he is a big bloke, and didn't he finish equal leading scorer in a rather big tournament a few years back ???

The shite now get Anelka on loan!!! Europe sure is looking empty of quality strikers ain't it ?? If they're asking top dollar for wages, what the fuck happened to the £3.5M we were willing to spend on Hedman, or was that on the drip too. Yet again Walter, yes we are in a better position, but don't give us all this shite about searching high and low. If they don't want to play for us, fine, we probably wouldn't blame them, just be straight with us. Who next for the none in Europe brigade on loan ? Ronaldo to Bolton ???

Please don't insult us Walter, if he was available, did we have a butchers, and you didn't fancy him, tell us. Or are you frightened that he could do a job at Rovers and you don't want to face further criticism ? I haven't heard that Rovers have been searching for ages, so how have they found him. Personally, as in previous mails, I think we have enough here in JM and Chadwick, but hey, I'm only a soft prick who goes into debt every July buying my season ticket(ONLY FOR THEM TO OFFER £10 TICKETS TO ANYONE IN DECEMBER - EVEN IF IT DID WORK !). So come on Walter, quit the BS and tell us how it is, believe it or not, a lot of us are adults with educated minds. Please don't insult us.

Best wishes to you all at Kipper, and all our long suffering brothers and sisters, things are getting better, and lets raise the fuckin roof for a change on Boxing Day.
Pak End Bill. (22/12/01)


MBE

Having just read MBE's article (it took about 5 minutes) (well I was educated at Lister Road Sec Mod and the Royal Navy school - of you will learn). So it took quite a bit of taking in. I just wonder how he manages to find time to go to the matches with all the quotes from the media he spouts. I liked the one about Doug Ellis (is he Bates in disguise) surely the only chairman to name a stand after himself. Obviously MBE is one of us. Very much A TRUE BLUE, no higher claim to fame can you get than that. Jim Farley Studley. (22/12/01)


Sweet F.A.

If the referee refused to watch the video footage of the kick-off against Fulham, then how the fuck did the Fulham red card get over-ruled? We lose Davy Weir against Sunderland, the F.A. get a nice hamper this Christmas via
Harrods. Pete Gillespie. (22/12/01) See Latest News


Joe-Max Moore on!

Would Joe-Max play upfront if he was a defender? With WS as manager it would be possible. WS team selection is not suprising me anymore. You either have to be Scottish or a defender to make the pitch. With six defenders in the starting XI (4 in the defence, one in the midfield and one upfront) you can't score. We don't look dangerous coming forward. Steve Watson and Gary Naysmith are defenders and that is were they are most useful. With J-M Moore upfront and Idan Tal or Jesper Blomqvist as leftwinger I think we would have much more
creativity on the pitch. Will these get a chance on saturday, I think not, WS will surely bring on Alec Cleland as rightback and Steve Watson will continue upfront, with J-M on the bench AGAIN!

Everton youth team won the FA championship a few years back, how many of these players have been given a chance in the first team, not many, why? Tom, Finland. (21/12/01)


Just A Coincidence

A fair reflection of the match. Was it a coincidence when Pistone went off injured and Watson for all his endeavours went back to his rightful position and JoeMax came on, there was a big of movement up front. In fact the goal came from a Watson cross and lo and behold there was JoeMax to do the rest. Again congrats on no Racial abuse — lets keep it that way. We missed you Mark - hope your Dad is better.

Super Kev

Dont know if this is for defo, but i heard this morning, from a very reliable source, that kevin has slipped a disc. This of course would effectively end his career, even though he's been garbage all year, so lets all raise a glass to walter amd bill, the two wise men who gave him a £30,000 a week contract. Well Done!
4 years left on that money cant be bad, unless he walks away or get sold, but do you think he'll leave for less money???????? Thought not.

Anyone know what the music is called.....?

Hi blue boys. Good site by the way, the official one is so boring. Please could you tell me what the tune is called that goes with "Oh we hate Bill Shankly,and we hate St John, But most of all we hate Big Ron, And we'll hang the Kopites one by one, On the banks of the royal blue Mersey... Oh to hell with Liverpool, And Rangers too We'll throw them all in the
MerseyAnd we'll fight fight fight, With all our might, For the boys in the royal blue jerseys..."

Ive got my kids word perfect on Its a grand old team so they need to learn a new song thanks damo. (17/12/01)


Biased Press

As to what MBE said about journos in his post match comments was bang on. Some people already know my views on journo, and the fact that they are lower than scum. The North Wales Daily Post has turned into the Man Utd bloody daily away. (Answers why this is on a postcard please)

Anyway, things are looking better, and the New Year should be an exciting time for us. Keep up the objective stuff lads, and I might send in a photo of my new Everton tattoo! (won't beat Susie Blue thighs though; very nice)

Happy Christmas to all at Blue Kipper, and I hope to have a drink with you all soon. Keep the faith

Money Too Tight Too Mention

BlueKipper, ....OFFER HIM A NEW CONTRACT, he will play well now, because he wants to play for Portugal in the World Cup - don't forget he was one of the stars of Euro 2000. (even after that, Euro 2004 is in Portugal). When he has a good world cup and starts whinging ....'I would jump at the chance for playing at big club !?' -- we would get £5 million for him. Let him go for nothing - NO. Lets makes sure we gets loads of money if he leaves. DON'T LET HIM GO FOR NOTHING TUBBS. rgsd Paul B Watson. (15/12/01)


Rumour Mill

There has been some talk in the papers about us signing a 25 year old Mexican defender called Pavel Pardo. He is valued at about £2m by his club 'Club America'. But we face a fight from Man City and Watford for his signature. Yorkshire Blue. (15/12/01)
