Moyes

The Blackburn game was a fucking shambles. If Rangers want Moyes I will gladly drive him there myself. Shifty. (09/01/07)

Blackburn

At least we got a penalty. Oh dear. Spencer Bishop. (09/01/07)

Cup run? Don't make me laugh!

As soon as I read Irvine and David Moyes talking about a cup run alarm bells started ringing. They were up against a side that had put a decent run of results together and it was never going to be easy. And so it proved. I am not one of the "Sack Moyes" brigade, not yet anyway, but I now fear that the best we can look forward to this season is mid table again. Not really good enough in my opinion. I keep hearing talk of the small squad etc. so surely the answer is to get some players in ?

I do realise it is not ideal to buy in the January window but needs must and we definitely need somebody in midfield. I suspect that Phil Neville would have done the trick but he is stuck at right back due to injuries. What has happened to Stubbs and Cahill ? I read on here, albeit rumours, that both may feature in Sunday's game. Instead we had the three Scottish stooges on the bench again. I am sure that Blackburn were quaking in their boots at the prospect of facing any of these three. My main fear is that another season of mid table mediocrity will see the likes of Arteta, Cahill and possibly others looking further afield. A slightly down Blue. John. (09/01/07)

Lee Carsley

Why does this guy play for Everton. He's useless; please post this on your web-site, is it just me? Can't anyone else see he can run, can't tackle, contributes no skill to a game, every chance he gets he misses, he's not good enough to play for us. Mick Joseph. (09/01/07)

The David France Collection

Whats all this bollocks about the David France collection. For fucks sake Blues (you in particular tight arse Kenwright) put your hand in your pockets and buy it outright. Something as unique to Everton should be owned by Everton. We should’nt be pissing around trying to raise funds to purchase it. But this is what we have come to expect off this pathetic sham of an excuse of a board. More mal administration. We can afford to give Bully upwards of half a million pounds (what the fuck for) but we have got the begging bowl out to try and preserve our heritage. I’m sure any self respecting Bluenose who had the funds available would willingly shell out the appropriate readies.

The tight arse twats will be asking us to stump up for players next using the same excuse as they are trying to use for the collection that it belongs to all of us so we should contribute. Do the decent thing for once buy it (if you are struggling Bill put aside a bit of wedge you’ve got lined up for the new stadium) and give it a rightful place in our new home. Where ever that might be. Chris B. (the original Wirral Blue). (09/01/07)

Shambolic Performance

I have seen some poor performances over the years, but yesterday's leaves me gobsmacked, Mark Hughes was either very confident or just plain spawney in his selection of his side to leave out six players and totally destroy us regardless of what our manager says ie the ball was at fault, we were the better team, and best of all "they only had four or five shots" we had chances many many chances but its the same old story,we lack the killer instinct in front of goal. Never mind with the words of our manager ringing in our ears "I am happy with what i've got" the gate of 24000 for a untelevised match will be even lower for the televised match with Reading this sunday.fans will vote with their non attendance. as i am writing this Mr Moyes on bbc radio merseyside has added to his stupid quotes "Its a sad day for Everton football club & David Moyes and myself" says it all. Norman Merrill. (09/01/07)

Blackburn Horrendous!!

I can’t think of any other manager in the Premiership, Championship, League 1, 2 or Conference for that matter that would have made NO CHANGES at half time!!! 3 Nil down to an under strength Blackburn at half time in the only Competition left to us that could secure European Football (because we ain't gonna finish in the top 8!) and he still chooses to start the second half with the same team.

Very, very disappointing. Taxi for Moyes?! Chris Watson. (09/01/07)

Time Running Out For Moyes

Once again the Earl of Shrewsbury(David Moyes) has displayed his total dislike of cup football. The main reason is because for the most part in order to progress in cup competitions teams must attack to achieve a result. I have written previously about The Earl's lack of attacking ideas. Against Blackburn it was Classic Moyes thinking. We are losing 3-0 and Valente is carried from the pitch. Moyes immediately brings on Gary (I am a Jock) Naysmith. No disrespect to Gary but apart from Moyes was there anyone else in the 25,000 crowd who could see Gary getting us back into the game? Answers on a postcard to... Moyes has not got a semblance of an attacking venture within his being. In the recent game against Boro we had one shot at their goal in the whole of the game. It was a free kick by Valente at the Park end. In the time that Moyes has been here Venger has produced TWO teams playing attractive successful football. Apart from Tugay everyone of the Blackburn players were over six foot and yet we continue to pump the ball into the air.

I would like to think that some time during the week Moyes will watch the video and count how many times AVDM played the ball into Osman's feet in second half at the Park end. Osman never hit the target once. The positive being that AVDM played his part and provided the service the negative is that Osman was not up to it. I counted 5 separate occasions when he failed to hit the target. Alex Ferguson is nobody's fool. He signs the keeper from WBA and gives Edwin van der Sar a new contract. Is there a chink in Tim Howard's game in view of the number of shots from out of the area that seem to find the way into our net? Ask Fergie why he does not want him? This team and the fans are screaming out for an enforcer in the middle of the park. Everyone of us can see that except Moyes. New stadium. Get real. The fans are begriming to vote with their feet. Knowing Moyes's liking for positives, Tim Cahill is nearly ready to return and AVDM is more than worth a run in the first team but will he get it? JACK WARNER. LIFELONG BLUE. (09/01/07)

Sort Your Subs Out

Moyes is leaving the substitutions too late. He should have put James vaughan on at half time and went all attack instead of leaving it for 11 min. Tim Howard never Had the best of games neither. Cmoon. (09/01/07)

Blackburn Game

Just like to say what a load of pure shite I have just come back from watching. I just can't for the life of me understand Moyes tactics. Some bad school boy errors there. God help us against Reading and Wigan. Col the blue. (09/01/07)

January And Out Of The Cup

It's January, it's third round FA cup and I've just turned the radio on. Everton 0 Blackburn 3! and all before half time....shite! It seems from the comments to my last mail posted in September last year that you can only give any opinion on the Blues if you go to watch them. That said I'm going to spout off regardless. In September I had the audacity to criticise the ginger haired clueless one for selling Killa without replacing him, pointing out that the squad was even smaller than the previous season. My assumption was that if you sell then you have a plan to replace, you know..think ahead.. but was I allowed to air this opinion knowing I had the support of other fans who felt the same....was I bollocks! My biggest fear was reaching that scenario of injuries kicking in and decimating the squad at a crucial time of the season Everton would fall flat on it arse..hence 0-3..Fa cup, at Goodison..shite!

This season is again boiling down to another one of absolute under achievement, the team is just not good enough, the tactics employed are just not good enough, Moyes could not motivate the skin off a rice pudding and as for that sorry excuse for a chairman and his board of simpering gits, each protecting their little piece of the pie, just what are they doing to this club. Everton can't advance as a force in the Premiership because everyone is shit scared of change, forget Goodison, move on, build a new stadium away from the ghosts of the past and find someone with the money and drive to invest in Everton and provide proper funds for quality players who will bring back success to the club..As for Moyes, he's had his chance, he had his chance the season we got back to Europe and he was showed to be lacking in everything that was needed, being able to buy quality, in time and injury free for our most important season for a decade. He didn't..okay this season he bought two good players but it just was not enough..we needed more, especially in midfield if only to help out Arteta.

I want the Blues to win and do well, its so frustrating to write this, the anger I feel is immense. especially towards the board. They are just completely goosing this club. It's January and if this result doesn't tell Moyes to buy players to see us through to a highly unlikely European place then forget the season, stay at home and paint your 'Goodison for ever' banners or whatever it is you do because at the end of the day Moyes and the board will see that it means 'f' all. Just wait for the end of the month when ginger will come out with the annual 'well we tried right up until the last minute' shite. 0-3 before half time...christ! Bugs. (09/01/07)

Big Brother

Just being a saddo and watching celeb big bro live and Donny Tourrettes has revealed that he's a Blue. Maddie McColgan. (09/01/07)

The David France Collection

The appalling response at the recent AGM to a question regarding the David France Collection (DFC) – ‘we haven't got 2 million hanging around' was both inadequate and disgraceful. It is unequivocal, there is no debate, securing the collection should be, must be, has to be, the first priority of the administration. God knows what Evertonians must be feeling about the shameful response by the club to this incomparable collection of heritage. I lie awake some nights in a disbelieving cold sweat, dumbfounded at why we have not purchased the collection, built an annexe in Liverpool museum to house it, and petitioned the Pope to confer a sainthood on David France. To be honest, if I had to choose between avoiding the collection being broken up or Everton avoiding relegation, I would take the collection. The pain would be unbearable either way, however football teams have transient lives, will bounce back, success will come again, but once the collection is dispersed, it will be permanent.

The current administration has a unique opportunity to immortalise themselves – On visiting the DFC in the museum I could say to my children
and grandchildren when we stand in awe in front of a 1906 cup winning medal or Dixie's England caps - 'maybe no trophies, but they were the ones who gave us the collection, always be grateful'. One week's wages donated by the first team, the revenue from one home game, a % of income from the next few transfers, everyone pays a tenner extra admission for the next two matches, and the deed is done. But I, like so many others, continue in a naive, deluded cloud of innocence to believe that this collection of football memorabilia, actually matters. As Forest Gump says, “Stupid is as stupid does”, and I and us continue to does nothing.

Why aren’t all the Everton website's and supporters clubs organising a campaign - each of us take 20 photocopies of A4 to distribute at the next game screaming 'Save the Collection NOW! to hold up at kick off. Beg Alan Stubbs to raise the awareness of the collection among the players and get them mobilised, somehow; Boycott a game. Lets do something, anything, but some form of direct action is desperately needed to make the point that the poverty of action by the club and the players and even the supporters is something we should all be ashamed about. We should be prostrate apologising to the ghosts of Geary, Sandy Young, Cresswell, TG Jones, Dean, Mercer, and Labone: Hickson, Alex Young, Ball, Kendall, West, Reid and all those great players who continue to benefit from the ongoing hospitality and adoration of us all, must now, like us, turn their attention to the greatest challenge presented in the clubs history – let us make no mistake about this – the purchase and securing of the David France Collection. If we fail, future generations will question not Wyness or Moyes, but us, the supporters of 2007. This is now our responsibility, the burden of all Evertonians … we fail or succeed … this is going to be our legacy. Denis Byrne. (09/01/07)

Penalty

I’m not being funny but I’m fuming with the ref’s more than ever. What’s the deal with not giving us pens. I think the FA need to step in something needs to be done. What’s the prem coming to. It’s a joke. They are spoiling our season. It doesn’t seem to be any other club but us that there making an ‘example’ out of. Only a ref with gut’s will give us a pen now. So who will step up to the challenge or are they all just shit bags. Sorry needed to get it off my chest. Born Blue. Emma Tippingx. (09/01/07)

Fifth Last Year

Thought you might like to know that there’s a new feature at www.evertonresults.com – a Premiership League table covering matches played in the 2006 calendar year. It makes interesting reading from an Everton perspective (well, I think it does!). Steve Johnson. (09/01/07)

Cash In On Beattie

I could see that Beattie was out there inhabiting a shirt and occupying one of the eleven spots. But I failed to see a single worthwhile contribution from him during the 60 minutes he was on. Given that he was on the starting line-up, I expected him to make a real effort to make a case for a place. Very disappointing. Coupling his apparent lack of any real desire with his appalling statistics plus the emergence of VA and JV, I join the people wanting to get some cash for Beatts before he devalues his market price any further. Tony McBride. (09/01/07)

Big Vic

Why did Moyesy drop Big Vic for the City game after his brace against the skunks? Beattie looked out of form and Anichebe made all the difference when he came on. Adam, Isle of Man. (09/01/07)

We Shall Not Be Moved

My time being a blue has flown. This team will prove we shall not be moved. Just received the Official History of Everton FC. Brought memories flooding back. We have not been as strong for many a year. All we can hope is that Moyes team building will prove our patience will be rewarded. COYB. John Lea. (09/01/07)

Man City game 1st January 2007

Sorry to bring this up again, but Mr Moyes, once again, ( as he did at Portsmouth last month ) picked the wrong team at City, YES, we all know our squad is threadbare, but to choose Biffa ahead of Victor, spoke more of spite than anything else, yes, Victor looked out of sorts against Newcastle work rate wise, BUT, he did score two goals, and as a striker, in my opinion has earned his paycheck.

If we want to quibble about work rate, we have only got to look at the greatest centre forward I have ever seen at Everton, Big Bob Latchford, a lazy goal-hanging striker, but he did what he was paid to do, score goals.

Once again no Plan B, sorry to be a pain, but it all lies at the foot of Mr Moyes, indecisive, and no lateral thinking methinks, a point was an absolute must yesterday, to keep the present run continuing, now we have an extremely difficult game against opponents who are full of confidence, who will believe they can come to Goodison and win on Sunday. I hope I am wrong on this one !! The Busy Fool. (09/01/07)

Gwladys Street Or Kirkby For Vaughan

Please boys will you start spelling words correctly. Recently certain words have been used time and time again, but spelt incorrectly. If you are putting forward an argument on an emotional subject such as the ground move, or who should be Everton's new strikers, your stance is greatly undermined by these words being spelt incorrectly. The words in question are KIRKBY not Kirby. VAUGHAN not Vaughn. Worst of all GWLADYS not Gladys or Gladwys or Gladis. Any more and detention for you. Headmaster. (09/01/07)

Barton For Biffa

Personally I like Biffa, even though he's overweight, lazy and slow, he's still got something that you can't help but like. However he doesn't fit into Everton's style of play where everyone has to give 100% for 90 mins. He's an old fashioned striker, and while he may be OK for other teams he's just not for us. Barton on the other hand looks taylor made to play in a darker shade of blue. With players like Cahill, Arteta, Lescott, Yobo, Howard, Johnson, Andy Van and the futures of Big Vic, Hughes and Vaughan we need to keep adding top class players to the squad like these! No more mediocre signings like Beattie, Davies and Carsley. Even though these two have done alright in the past they're not going to keep us up there consistently! Jake Bamber. (09/01/07)

Story of the Blues

At 44 I have seen more silver wear than all but the usual 3 suspects at the top and the shite. I stopped going to the games a few years ago. why? Not winning? No, it's just not good enough. Moyes has done well to keep the club where it is, but it's never going to move forward with him. He lacks the balls to move on. Who the hell told him we can defend and win on the break? or hold onto a 1-0. Nil Satis Davey boy. Imagine what Martin O'neill would do with these players plus to 3 or 4 more we need that he can attract. Ask yourself. Would you sign for moyes? The club probably has the highest number of stay away supporters in the world, over the decades, the same pattern emerges time after time, develop, build team to win, sell it. Some goon wants to invest a bucket of cash into Man City. Hey Bill. Go find us a goon please, we all know you love the place but you are stifling it now. I don't doubt you for a moment, but you don't have the $$$.

As for Gary Speed, does anyone actually think the lad wanted to leave? Grow up, same shite with Wayne, we needed money, make the lads look bad and hope it washes away. I still remember Bally in the 70's, who cried the most? Bally or my old fella who binned his season ticket that day and didn't return for 15 years. Hint of the day for Davey Moyes. Go and try and win a game Dave, lets attack teams, score goals and worry about conceding as and when, lets face it we concede anyway. Credit where it's due, he has brought some great players to the club, Cahill, Johnson, Lescott looks a solid prospect, but for fks sake Dave, lets just go for it. You will have us hanging from the rafters to get in again. So come on Dave, give me a reason to come back, any reason, just 1. BlueMik. (09/01/07)

X-Factor

Not once this series (in fact not much any series!) have I seen the poxy X-Factor, but seeing as that little prick from Brookside was on, I left the program on for a brief moment, while changing channels, to hear if he had a good voice? The run up to his song he sang in the semi final, was all the usual Bull shit you get from some scouse quarters! You know, "I grew up with this song", "I want to give something back to the people of Liverpool" (Yer right! even the ones that bullied him in school!!)

So then the little Jimmy Osmond, Rhona Cameron, Butch Patrick lookalike tosser leads us into the first line of the Shite anthem.. "When you...!" That's as far as I got.

I guess this little fart is a Red? If so I'm not surprised in the least. If he's a Blue?? Jesus, he should be banned for life for singing that thing and 'Giving something back to the people of Liverpool!'.... Some of them lad, some of them. Just a thought... Chasey. (09/01/07)

Rene Aufhauser

I've just been in Salzburg this weekend, a lovely town and home to the Red Bull Salzburg FC. Got talking to a local who knew about Everton and he was referring to a certain Rene Aufhauser who once joined EFC during a pre-season tour of Austria some years back. It rang a bell. Anyway,
Aufhauser is now a regular in the Austrian national team, in his own way a bit like others that had brief flirtations with our club and ultimately went on to better things elsewhere (Matterazi, Dacourt, even Stefan Rehn). What did make me chuckle was the translation of Aufhauser's core skills on the Red Bull website.

"outstanding shot from the second row". Brilliant. PLAYER ASSESSMENT BY GIOVANNI TRAPATTONI AND LOTHAR MATTHÄUS: 'René is equipped with a good head ball. He is capable of working the entire 90 minutes, and he has an outstanding shot from the second row. The ball needs to move a little more quickly with him.' Nick Smith. (09/01/07)

New Year 'in and outs'

Never one to moan but.....after the recent Pompey game, it's patently obvious that we need reinforcements to the squad. The best part of the midfield was 'missing', mostly due of injury. The players that came in and the 'strikers' (Beattie and McFadden ha ha) that are playing lack quality and imagination. We need at least six new players to come in, never the mind the two that Moyesy is suggesting we are short of. We've already witnessed the latest disaster that was our excursion into European football. This was a result of shortsightedness, when the manager and the board thought we'd be able to compete on both fronts without increasing the size of the squad. We are now struggling to compete on one front .

This might sound brutal, but in order to raise revenue, we need to offload Beattie and McFadden. Someone on this site recently suggested that Beattie wasn't fit to lace Brett Angell's boots. Buy that man a pint 'cause he's spot on. He's been here for two years now and done absolutely f*** all. I keep hearing the same old story that he's going to come good. Well now I'm pissed off waiting. Mcfadden has been here twice as long, yet Davey still thinks the sun shines out of his hoop. Get real matey!! Eddieparkend. COYB. (09/01/07)

Moyes

Moyes has to go now. Too many faults to mention. Just had enough of him. B.Lea. St Helens. (09/01/07)

Rooney Cash

Not sure if this is right, but I think when we sold Rooney part of the deal included a clause where Everton get £1.5m or something if he signs a new deal. As he's just signed one, do we get the cash then? Cheers Dan. (09/01/06)
