to Your Good Signings Mr. Moyes thank you for giving Everton hope for the future. The signings you made have been the difference. Lets hope we can now look to the future with a team playing beautiful football. John Lea. (20/04/04) Shake It Like A Polaroid Picture Is this an Evertonian, atheist, socialist and dare I say it deeply republican website? If it is then I am in heaven, metaphorically speaking of course. Greg Doyle - Top Balcony season ticket. (20/04/04) White Socks Please Just like to say well done to the club for securing the new kit deal with Umbro and JJB sports for the next few seasons. If it turns out to be the profitable deal where told it will be, it can only be good news for the club and (hopefully) add a bit of weight to Moyesy's transfer kitty. Not to mention a better quality kit, minus the bluey-grey collar!!! Plus, come on Umbro, any chance of WHITE SOCKS!? Great site lads. Gary R, Park End (18/04/04) Woman and Football Great
article Jenny. I have seen some
womens' footy on TV from the USA (if I remember correctly) and was very
impressed. I definitely would watch footy like that here, if it was well
organized and of a decent standard. As for women playing with men .. well
I wouldn't rule it out. It would take an exceptional woman simply because
of the physical side> of the mens' game, but there have been many examples
in the past of Any chance
of getting some shirts ironed? Derek Rothwell (18/04/04) Can the gentleman who e-mailed Blue Kipper (Steve I. we think) regarding the above please re send the details again. Your e -mail was accidentally deleted. Thank you. (16/04/04) Hello from New Zealand I was wondering if the Ray Jones you have playing for you is my cousin Ray is one of five brothers and I think lives around the Black Bull area. Could you ask him as he owes me a christmas card from the time that I came over in 1998 and had a few ales with him and the lads but he has not written back to me. Ron Dunne. Timaru. New Zealand. (15/04/04) Ronald Bradley I have
been trying to find any information on the Everton Reserves team 1950-1951
as my father used to play for them.His name was Ronald Bradley, i would
appreciate any information you can give me regarding this as i had match
tickets and other documents stolen during a break in at my home. Thank
You. A. Bradley. (15/04/04) Hi. A
link to your interview with
Derek Mountfield was posted on a Cork City FC web site and illicited
a response that Derek might be Great Friday Fantastic result on Friday, and the first half was a joy to watch. It does go to prove that on our day we can reach the highest level of quality. Although the second half was an anti climax, the first half was exhilarating, and it was nice to see goals coming from other parts of the pitch. Keep it up Moyesy, with the likes of Rooney, Faddy, Gravesen and others we have the nucleus of a squad who I believe can go on to bigger and better things. Oh and the shit 'eds got beat aswell, in fact Good Friday, it was a Great Friday. Keep up the good work lads, your site is fantastic. Joe, Auckland N.Z. (11/04/04) Start Faddy After
watching Faddy's performance against Spurs on Friday night, is he not
worth a start against Leeds on Tuesday. Our relegation fears have eased
somewhat now, so will Moyesy, or should Moyesy leave the Duke on the bench,
and keep the side unchanged. Tossing - Early Hours of This Morning Prior
to match day, I just can't sleep, obviously I get the odd moment now and
then, but the rest of the night I am picking the team, do I a make a better
job of it than the manager I don't know. Anyway I can't wait until the
time comes for my lift kindly supplied by my fellow members of the Reddich
supporters club, which arrives in the 'Pool to give us time for a jar
or two and soak up the atmosphere before the game starts. Shake It Like A Polaroid Picture Thank you for yet another fine piece from this most erudite of Evertonians. My only serious quibble is that rather like DM’s apparent unwillingness to use a bit of guile in his handling of certain players, perhaps MBE could have waited until season’s end to say all this. However, now that the cat is out of the bag it really is time for us all to get behind the manager as he shapes the future of the club. There will be many Evertonians who won’t like what MBE is saying, still less what DM is going to have to do to stop the rot caused by players who have begun to believe that they are bigger than the club. My own view is that DM should trust in youth a little more. How right was Joe Royle about “Big Dunc”? Let’s give Chadwick a real run in the team if Jeffers is not going to make it and if Campbell is no longer a force. In midfield, where we all berate the lack of a player who understands that area of the pitch, is it not time to try young Osman? At the back we should build around Joseph with Pistone alongside him (when he is fit, Peter Clarke when he is not!) and Tony Hibbert on the right. At left back we should play Naysmith until the end of the season when it’s time to do a deal that takes him to Rangers and brings Michael Ball back home to Everton. Thank
you to all the Blue Kipper team for all the hard work you put in to making
the site so interesting and informative. Everton
are currently 8th in the playforyourclub.com table, its a small game where
you have 15 balls and have to volley in as many points as possible. EFC
already have 2 titles in the bag with spurs having 3 and the redshit,
oh the redshite have 2 (looks like it now) I cant stand to see this and
we need more evertonians playing. Matt. (09/04/04) Shared Stadium Much as it goes against my wishes to share a stadium with the sh**te, seems its our only hope of moving to a new stadium. Goodison is so tired looking we are becoming a laughing stock and maybe if we get a new stadium our players may be able to keep their feet on the pitch instead of slipping at the vital moment. Fred Stafford. Park Ender. (09/04/04) I think... Having
just read MBE's article on Mr Moyes's
good work at Goodison, I agree, it is about time we got rid of the overpaid
so called 'super stars' (contracts permitting) who for some reason are
given the Captaincy and think it all ends with deciding which way we are
going to kick. Then forget the major part of the job is to cajole and
help raise morale in the team when things aren't going well, and they
could do with a kick up the back side if necessary. Running Track. My Arse! What
the hell is the obsession with running
tracks? Look how hard the government and councils tried to force wembley
to have a running track. it seems every time a new stadium is to be built
some moron who probably has never been to a football match is crying out
for a running track. What is the point in putting a track inside a 65'000
capacity stadium, the track will hardly ever get used, and if it did how
many paying spectators would turn up (unless liverpool is planning an
olympics bid we don't know about)? Manchester City had the right idea,
move into the stadium and get rid of the ridiculous running track. Shared Ground "My source" tell me that Liverpool are very reluctant to share a stadium with us BUT the council have said they would withdraw the £41m they were going to invest unless they share with us. Everton seem to be happy with a share because we are basically trying to save as much money as possible. We don't seem to be in any position to fund our own stadium (which makes the King's Dock episode laughable) and our board sees this as the only way forward for us. The dilemma for LFC is that they either share with us or they will have to get their new ground without any backing from the council. I personally don't mind the ground share - I'd prefer my own ground but I am not opposed to the shared ground because it will generate more revenue for us. Everton's lack of hospitality is shocking. That new trailer parked up in the Park End is sad effort to accommodate the corporate hospitality. Every new ground I have visited has had "boxes" running right around the ground because the clubs know they have to squeeze as much money out of the punters on match days as possible. The only
thing I cant get my head around is that the Dixie Dean lounge will have
to be next door to the Bill Wankley lounge! Why Are We Skint ? I'm
getting more and more pissed off. It looks as though yet again we are
going into the transfer window with no money whatsoever. We've a squad
of over 30s, willing but limited and only three decent players under 30.
I want an explanation how a team that has never been out of the Premiership,
a team with the fifth best average attendance (better than Arsenal), with
very low wage levels for the Premiership, is in this plight. This is not
Leeds Utd. who have spent profligately, this is the most economically
sensible team in World Football. M.B.E. on Moyesy I've
just read his article, and it's a
fine piece of writing (I won't insult him by calling it journalism), well
done; nice plain English, may that continue. Basically, it's all what
we've known or heard or felt over the last season. I thought we would
be getting away with another 40 point "what's going on at the Reebok?"
season, but the second season was going to be harder, we all knew that.
The attitude of older players that MBE talks about sound spot on; we've
seen it in where we work, even the pub, they can have a bad influence.
If this is the case, Moyes will cut out this cancer as soon as possible
- there can be only one manager. Team v Geordies I have just seen the game against Newcastle. And we were very unlucky not to get something. A perfectly good goal ruled out by the linesman and some first class performances especially from Mad Dog. But my God what is DM playing Unsworth and Campbell.? Everton have a number of good players and one great player but unfortunately we have RUBBISH as well. What a pity Pistone did not play alongside Yobo as he did in the derby game because Unsworth was awful. And I think that Campbell knows he can no longer do it. Michael Weir. (06/04/04).

Photo: EVERTON POWER GAME Quote from M.B.E. on the EVERTON POWER GAME: "Allegedly Gregg is the one truly successful businessman on the board and he failed to deliver when it came to the crunch. Why should anyone believe Grantchester could do any better? After all Abramovich has twice as much money as he, and has delivered nothing of any note at Chelsea." Well Mickey I wish someone like that would come and deliver nothing of any note to Goodison Park. Mike Kendrick. (03/04/04) Gravesen Off? Firstly,
brilliant site, I check it every day without fail, anyway, I am an Everton
fan from Portsmouth. My dad was a carpenter in Germany, yes similar to
Auf Wiedersehn Pet, and I was raised there with my brother who is also
a blue. All my dads work mates were from Liverpool and were all Blues,
they kind of indoctrinated us into supporting the Blues and we've not
looked back since. Anyway enough of my brief history, the reason I write
is that my girlfriend is Danish and she just called me saying that a paper
in Denmark Play To The Whistle How many points have Everton thrown away in the last 10 min's or so. I just cant believe our defence on set pieces surely we can do better. Nigel Martyn as good as he as played all season must take charge of the 6 yard box from the 1st to the 90th plus. We could have been in a great position only for these last minute Fuck ups Gerry Maguire Ont Canada. (03/04/04) What Do You Think? Have your say! e-mail bluekipper.com |
