The Derby

Where do we start? Bad day all round. Timmy out for the remainder and we have not got a clue feed the yak? If we can?(NOT) The midfield is not there the last few games. What can we do? Bring on who? We have got no one at the min, harsh but face the facts! We can only hope that one of are midfielders stand up and earn there contacts i.e. Arteta (who I have on the back of my top) Come on lad? and the rest of the midfielders, Pienaar, Fernandes, Osman. The one's who are more likely to get a goal do there job (SHOOT) and you may score! COYB. Good luck to all the teams playing the r.s. the next few weeks. They're shite. LOL. David Harrison.

Tommy Gravesen

Please forgive me my ignorance on this but why is Gravesen at the Club. He can't get a game, even when we are chasing the game today, he was togged out behind Moyes? Don't lose the head on this question please - Could Moyes not go for broke now and have Gosling, Van der Meyde on the bench? We need something different lads and we need it quick because Portsmouth are closing!!!!! Christy. Irish-Toffees. Dublin. (31/03/08)

Passport Holder

Received my passport holder today - ace. Can't wait to use it on my hols to Greece in July - miles better than Geordies wobbling round in their barcode tops or RS wearing 4 scarfs in 100 degree heat !! Just pull out the passport holder in a bar and totally outclass them.

However it has more uses than holding a passport on holiday :
Keep credit card in it
Keep euro notes in it
Keep the phone number of that nice Geordie girl who hates her fat fella in it
Keep plant seeds in it for transporting back home
Keep small amounts of "green" in it for nights out
Keep spare camera memory card in it.
Keep apartment key in it.
Keep a pic of Bob Latchford in it
Keep a condom in it.

The list is endless - what a useful piece of holiday kit!! Cheers (or Yammas). Ian Seddon. (31/03/08)

Right Result Last Season

Does anyone know where we would have finished last season in the “right result” league table? I suspect with all the “refused” AJ penalties we would (should) have been in the Champions League last season! COYB. Derek Pulford. (31/03/08)

Golden Goal

A few years ago there was a poster advertising the golden goal. The poster went from the programme then onto the walls around gwladys street and i was never able to get hold of the image. It was a picture of the Gwladys Street end at the start of a derby match wen were beaten 3-1, not sure what year it was but we had the plain grey away shirt with 'one to one' on the front. I know this because this is what I was wearing in the photo as I was the guy painted in gold whilst the rest of the crowd was in grey. My dad and brother were also on the picture and I was hoping if there is any chance on earth that anyone would know how to get hold of that or even better have a copy in an old programme because being computer illiterate we didn't manage to get the thing onto a hard drive back then! I know its a long shot but even a date of the programme it was issued in would be a big step to finding it again. Cheers. Mike Liptrot. (31/03/08)

British Players

Why has David Moyes released 8 British players from the reserves this very afternoon when saying that he wants to sign British players???? Hypocrite. Helen (31/03/08)

WHY BOTHER TO TURN UP?

I don't know about you but, I am sick of all this biased coverage of the derby. The redshite have been installed as such clear favorites it makes you wonder why we'll bother to turn up. WHY? How many home games had the redshite won this season up until the end of Jan? Not taking the last 2 games into account, since the start of this year the Blues have been in Championship form. The link posted by Paul Jamieson "the right result" shows clearly how well we have done this season.The shites' "bit of a run" ended last weekend. Yet we've had all the comments from former shite players, some snide, and some delusional. Rednapp jnr " Spurs have a better squad than Everton" Hanson at the end of MOTD "Liverpool will beat them" Beardo (surprisingly) "I'd like to play alongside Torres" explaining that his teamates love him more. I have heard no comments by ex-evertonians. I have not seen any gobshite comments from Stevie G Laaaa. He normally spouts some verbal diarrhea before derbies, maybe he's saving it for the weekend papers. WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR! Lets shove those comments up their arses. COYB. Rhodris-dad. (28/03/08)

The Right Results

Thought people might like to see this website http://www.rightresult.net/ to see just how much we have been robbed this season!! A big up to all the Blue Noses working here in the NCH Manchester - Cherryne, John, Frank, Jamo, Chris and Mark!! Paul Jamieson. (27/03/08)

Well done lads....kick on for fourth spot now!!

I've not written for a while, I've been a big critic of David Moyes for a good while now. Based on past experiences its been difficult to find anything positive about him or the way the team had performed, so much so that I quit posting messages for fear of blowing a gasket! That said I would just like to pass on my heartfelt congratulations to Moysie and the team for such an excellent performance against Fiorentina....the best team definitely lost and it would a great pity if a team like the Italians managed to progress to the final and, perish the thought, win the cup...they were crap but as is the way with continental teams penalties beckon.

That said I don't hold any of the pen takers at fault for the loss, they couldn't have done anymore so to Yak, Jags and the rest....forget it, move on, stuff Fulham and break the hoodoo at Craven Cottage and then kick on for fourth...don't forget lads you play as a team not as a bunch of overpriced individuals run by a fat wine waiter who seem to rely on crass goalkeeping, poor opposition displays, connivance's of referees to send players off and also two shite referees in particular name Clatt and Wiley who between them have robbed Everton of three additional points at least.

If at the end of season those points lost are the deciding factor on which cup we go for in Europe, for I fully expect us to qualify for one of them, then I say bring on video refs and put uppity knobs like the two mentioned in their place..simply they should have banned for the rest of the season or at least sent down a league or two, again for the season. I have always loved the Blues, I have always hated the 'shite'. Their arrogance, ignorance call it what you will has always stuck in my throat. Be it Emlyn Hughes and his infamous ' Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic' routine, through to Gerrard and his 'We're better than they are' outburst of a couple of years ago and ending up with 'Small club' Beneathus. They are all gobshites. I am proud to be an Evertonian, it drives me round the bend..that goes without saying...but what a club, what a team, what supporters..believe you can do it lads and you will. Bugs. (15/03/08)

Forces Blues

Thanks for posting piccys of our boys away from home. Just to let you know Kenny Dinning (pictured at Yuma) worked at Goodison car parking since he was 14 years old. Keep up the good work. Regards JR. (15/03/08)

Proud Blues

JUST A BRIEF MESSAGE TO SAY THAT WE WE’RE FANTASTIC AGAINST FIORENTINA AND THAT OUR BOYS DONE US PROUD. HERE'S TO MORE OF THE SAME BUT WITH A BETTER OUTCOME IN THE FUTURE. SUPER BLUES. COYB. FTRS. BIG DOM. (15/03/08)

Help Needed - Away Day Blues

My name is Jonathan Mumford and I am a lifelong Evertonian. Having attended various Everton away games over the years with a work colleague of mine David Cregeen we were thinking that it's about time there was a compilation of away day stories printed about our beloved club.

Our aim is to devise a book of funny or interesting stories from Blues fans. The stories can be about any away trip involving Everton, be it the
trip there or back or even incidents during the match. We have already met up with some famous Evertonians such as Colin Harvey and spoken to others such as Alan Stubbs and Stuart Barlow. We have also recently been interviewed live on Citytalk with Jon Keith.

Clearly we are in the very early stages of developing our idea but we have up to 20 stories already mainly from friends. We are therefore looking to put our idea out to a bigger audience. As regular users of the Bluekipper website (by far the best around) we have decided to come to you to ask (plea if needed) for a small hyperlink and maybe one of our stories to be posted on your site with the aim of acquiring more stories from fans.
We would be massively grateful if this were possible. Send your stories to our website www.evertonistheteamtofollow.com

Many thanks in advance. Best regards, Jonathan Mumford. (15/03/08)

Fiorentina Game

The report by Graeme Holmes was tops. I'm a shareholder with the best club in the world but don't have time to contribute too much to the Blue Kipper phenomenon of a fans eye view of the, not just best club in the world, best SUPPORTERS in the world. But so many genuine people/friends have I met. big shout to the Runcorn lads who take care of me when I get to the games. Billy Bod. EFC, ftrs. (15/03/08)

Euro exit

Hard luck lads, you came so close. A lot of young lads gained valuable European experience this season and it will stand us in good stead for next season, provided we keep the squad together and even manage to get enough money together to expand a paper thin squad. Whilst we don't have the budget to compete with the shite(we can't afford three top flight referees in our squad), we have shown that we can compete where it matters ; on the field. Bring on the derby, we'll beat the redshite. Even after they get their obligatory penalty. Proud to be a real scouser, blue to my DNA. Paddy in Tobermory. (15/03/08)

Off The Ball

The 'Pompey loon' was in the Carisbrook after the game singing "we love you scousers we do" and getting his photo taken, he looks even worse close up! from Paul, Litherland. (15/03/08)

CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE

One of the many great features of BK is the fact that no matter how scathing fans are in their criticism BK invariably puts the message on their web-site. We care about our club. We are passionate in our pursuit of our team playing quality football. Over the course of the past few seasons along with many others I have had a go at David Moyes. His dithering decision making at times, his team selection, his less than positive attitude with a one nil lead etc. I accept that it has taken nearly six years but I must redress the balance and hold my hand up. David Moyes has stopped the flow of e-mails on the web-site and in doing so he has transformed us from a regular relegation outfit to a top six team playing good football. He obviously has a plan. The chairman has referred to it several times. The chairman has backed him to the hilt with time and money. It has taken a while to get over Rooney and his scum bag agent doing the dirty. Ask yourselves who would you rather have in the team Rooney or Yakubu? If Yakubu was English there are a few whose International career would be over. Benitez has spent £146m in less than four years. Moyes has spent £79m and got back £51.9m so he obviously pleases the board. We have not won anything yet. When we were losing regularly invariably the finger was pointed at the manager. Therefore the manager must take the accolades for creating a group of players who blend together, work for each other and have it within themselves to achieve honours. JACK WARNER. LIFELONG BLUE.

I Love Mikel

The trophy which Arteta won was brilliant and if mikel could get more that would be better. Mikel is always the one who gets the trophies so that's why he's my fav player and I would always count on him to do anything in a match. Hopefully some other players would be awarded trophies because that would be a great honour to them 'n' the club 'n' the fans. Soon, if we do, we'll be going to the top!!!!!!!!!!!!To Mikel Arteta. I luv u to bits and hope u win more trophies!!!! Lots and Lots of love. From 10 yr old Everton fan. Faye Wilson. (15/03/08)

Thanks & Good Luck Stubbsy

Just a quick one to say thanks to Alan Stubbs and good luck. Thanks for coming back in the first place after” Billy bluff s dodgy contract small print “. You turned our defence back into a water tight defence. Just wish you could of had a trophy or three to show for it, but something feels like you’ve still got unfinished business at our place, so good luck mate you can get the trophies when you are back. Thanks again Alan! James. (15/03/08)

My name is Rob. I come from Poland. My hobbies include football. I am writing to you to find out more about club. Your Team is my favourite team and I have liked him for years. I would be really pleased if you would sent me: pennant, badge individual photos of the players and a photo of your team if possible, old tickets from match. I would be pleased to add the materials to my collect. Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely Rob. (15/03/08).

Snods

Just read the Paul Mac tribute review and was wondering if someone could pass ont he story of the miracle of the disabled fans in the last day relegation game against Wimbledon. I know I should know already but somehow I've missed that one... Danny M. (15/03/08)

Extra Matches

Don't let these money grabbing conmen fool you, the proposed 'additional' fixtures idea is a mickey take. The Clubs that will benefit most will be the so called 'big' clubs. This will be the start of their breakaway 'super league'. Why not come out and be honest with us and tell us that the one game will eventually increase to half a dozen or more a season.

If they're not happy with the monopoly they already have, then let them break away from the Premiership. These greedy clubs have been shoulder deep in the trough and they're still not happy and they're desperate for more. Let them wander off and let them milk the rest of the world's mugs. I would be quite happy to see them break away. I can see many benefits to the clubs left behind.

I can't see the likes of Sky walking away from the cash cow that is the Premiership. Once it has been increased to replace the clubs that leave, normal service will be resumed. At last we have parity in all competitions. We may even have officials that aren't swayed by the 'big' clubs. How many hard working Evertonians can afford to travel half way around the world to watch a game of football? When that number is increased to three or four, what then? Don't be fooled by these proposals, they're not for the good of the game. Money talks. Eddieparkend COYB. (15/03/08)

Everton in New York

What Phil Neville drinking these days? He says if the Blues were to play reading this saturday in New York the stadium would be filled with about 20,000 Scousers most of us work hard all week to manage to get to Goodison and the odd one or two away games in this country. That is unless he's paying and you can count me in. Les Mac. (15/03/08)

Derby Tickets

Just been on ticketbroker.co.uk and wondered how come they have got tickets for the away end. We all know the redshite need $$$$$$ to pay there masters but who is selling from our small allocation. ps if you've got £275 spare buy one in the home end. Robbie. (15/03/08)

Matches Abroad

Premier league matches abroad! What is going on? Only last season we heard the pundits and FA whinging about too many games being played and how it affected the national teams. Managers of the "big" four spouting how hard it was on the players playing so many games. So now we may have another smack in the face for the loyal supporter. Already we have the situation of TV dictating when matches are played, now we have the possibility of an important game being played on the other side of the world. I am sure they will be queuing up to watch Fulham vs. Wigan!

Scenario----- Everton win league by 2 points Shite 2nd Villa 6th Fulham bottom
Draw for final match----------- Everton vs. Villa in Singapore(couldn't spell Beijing) summer 40deg C we lose
Shite vs. Fulham in Melbourne winter 18deg C shite win
shite win league! I am sure we would be happy with that........ It would cause riots on the streets with me in front of the mob!!!

Scudemore is a pimp and he is prostituting our clubs. The premier league has already devalued the Football League over the years. The Clubs money men have been shown a £ sign again and are all in a trance. Reality is people like winners and not losers. Foreign "fans" would follow the successful teams. I lived in Canada for 5 years and every Canadian I met who liked soccer, was a manure fan. The live game showed on TV on a Sat. morning at 10am (5 hrs diff.) was, as long as they were playing on Sat., ALWAYS manure. A few ex pats. like me, wrote to the TV station to complain, without success.

The bottom line is that the successful clubs would generate far greater revenue which would further enhance the divide between top and bottom, rich and not so rich. (is there a conspiracy theory in here? G14 disbands giving up their superleague idea, a few months later they get the chance to spread their wings all over the world. If Wigan think they will generate the same revenue as manure then they must be smoking skunk). Will the FA cup disappear? They never showed it in Canada while I was there. This could be the thin end of the wedge. If the games prove successful, the foreign TV channels will offer even more money and then there will be more games played abroad. What if your season ticket was only for 10 games? Here's another thought, what time of day will we get to see the game on TV if it's in Melbourne? I won't be able to slag anybody for being an armchair supporter will I!!!!! The further I get into writing this, the more annoyed I am getting and the more Corona I am necking.

Kirkby suddenly seems a helluva lot closer than a home game in Miami!!! What about the West coast of U.S.? Having a ale in the Pacific takes on a whole new meaning (Plug--hope that gets me a free Guinness on Sat.) END OF RANT. Rhodri's-dad. Rhyl. P.S.

Bad Ref

I've heard that Wiley's incompetent accomplice has been suspended from all premiership games for the remainder of the season at least. The football league are all too ready to deduct points from teams over malpractice. How about they consider reinstating points that we have been swindled out of by malpractice on the part of their appointed officials. By virtue of the fact that Wiley and his chum have been suspended, does this not amount to acknowledgement that Everton were indeed victims of injustice? Anon. (15/03/08)

Hello From Florence

I am a Fiorentina fans from Florence, but , since I started watching English football I'am also an Everton fans. I grew up watching English football since mid '80s, when Everton had a big squad and got 2 english league titles under H. Kendall's era. I only want to say you "good luck" for the match against us. It is a game I was dreaming for a long time: my local club against my english club. I spent many hours to explane to my friend which is the first and the only one real club in Merseyside, because most of them only knew about FC Red shite. I hope you will enjoy Florence . Fiorentina and Everton nowdays are in a similar situation: both are trying to get in to the "top four" in their national league . Both have a lower budget than the top four clubs , (Inter, Milan, Roma , Juventus - Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Redshite) but they are doing a great jobs to fill the gap. So, I would have liked to meet you in the final game at City of Manchester Stadium. But we have to play now, so,I hope we will have 2 great games. David. Florence. Italy. (02/03/08)
