Mr
Hide Scores Again
Tommy
scored again for Denmark. After another fine performance he
smacked a superb shot into the net to give his National side
a 2-0 win over Luxembourg.
The win puts Denmark top of Group Two. Once again Tommy has
produced the form we know he is capable of, but seldom shows
it to us. (13/06/02)
Tommy
Bosses The Middle
The
Gravedigger had his Mr. Hide hat on, when he bossed the midfield
for Denmark in the derby game against Norway. Denmark went top
of the group with a 1-0 victory. His form for his National team
has been outstanding. If only he could transfer this form to
his Dr. Jekyll performances he usually puts in for us.

Another
Goal For Mad Dog
Thomas
Gravesen scored Denmark's only goal in their 1-0 victory over
Ukraine. But if you can get a look at it on Eurosports you won't
believe it because it is a bullet header from a corner. (01/05/03)
Shit'ouse
Speaks about 'That Tackle'
Our
old beloved friend Gary 'Shit'ouse' Speed has spoken out about
Tommy's tackle on Newcastle's Bernard last Sunday. As Tommy
waits to hear if he is to face FA charges Shit'ouse said, "Against
Everton you could see the referee look back a couple of times
after it happened so he'd obviously seen the foul. I just can't
understand why he hasn't given it.
"And as if that was infuriating, the one thing that no-one's
mentioned was that it wasn't even a penalty that Everton then
went on to get awarded. Kevin Campbell just tripped over himself.
"Believe me, it's not sour grapes or bitterness.
It's just very hard to take, especially when you're watching
it at home. It's gut-wrenching really.
"As you may know I was an Everton fan as a kid and loads
of my mates are Everton fans so to make things worse I got a
barrage of text messages after the game which rubbed salt into
the wound." Sounds like sour grapes to us! (10/04/03)
Just
Toolin About
Tommy
was caught with his kecks down when training with the Danish
squad ahead of their Euro 2004 qualifier against Romania on
Saturday. Danish coach Morten Olsen said the picture was unworthy
of a member of the national team. The picture was printed in
a number of Romanian papers. There will be no jokes about it
being a high tackle. (28/03/03)
Wonder
Goal
Tommy
scored with a lazy lob from 45 meters ( about 50yards in old
money) for Denmark as they whacked Romania 5-2. Romanian goalie
Lobont tried to scramble back to goal after clearing a dangerous
ball from the edge of the box. Tommy didn't hesitate, &
the ball was in the net. (30/03/03)
As
Long As We're Winning
Tommy
has lost his place to Scot Gemmill. For the last 3 games for
the he has been on the bench. He says he is happy to stay on
the bench if we keep winning.
Tommy
said :"I'm fine with being benched. The most important
thing is that we are winning. The manager knows that I'm ready,
there's no conflict between me and him. We have a rotation system
at Everton. We have played about 25 matches this season, and
I participated in 20, so there's no problem. Of course I want
to play, but I don't become more tough in training to convince
the manager of my wish to play. He knows I'm ready."

Tommy
The Enigma
Tommy
Grav, The Gravedigger, The Headless Chicken, The Schoolboy,
& Psycho. Just some of the names we've heard him been called
by the fans. They all describe different traits of his ability
as a footballer. The only problem is we never know how he's
going to play. On Saturday against Shrewsbury, we saw a bit
of the headless chicken, & lots of the schoolboy. He couldn't
pass the ball to a white shirt. He gave stupid fouls away, including
the one which led to their 1st goal. Then it was the run around
chasing the ball where ever it goes. This time a cross between
the schoolboy & the headless chicken.
When asked why he had brought Tommy off at half - time, Moyesy
said: "I brought Thomas off because he wasn't
good enough." Straight talking from the boss,as always.
I bet the air was blue as well.
Yet
in the early part of the season, Tommy was one of our better
players. In a purple patch he got The Blue
Kipper Star man nominations for his displays against Fulham
& Arsenal.
Even Mickey
Blue Eyes, one of Tommy's sternest critic made him man of
the match. His crowd waving antics are not appreciated by all,
but when he gets the ball & drives forward, & puts the
ball through for the forwards, he's an awesome sight.
We
just want him to play like this more often. (06/01/03)
Weight
Watchers
Mad
Dog's secret is out. He has been going to The Weight Watchers
class in his local Royal British Legion Club. Losing a bit a
few inches from the waist line is something plenty of us should
be doing, especially Jogger.
David
Moyes is delighted that Thomas is fighting fit and is now starting
to look the real deal.
Moyesy
said:
"He
admitted to me he needed to lose some body weight and he has
done that. His body fat is lower and he looks in real good shape
right now.
Thomas
is a very good player. He gives us a little bit of individuality
in the middle of the park which is why he came straight back
in for Tobias last Saturday.(14/11/02)
We
Missed You
It
was a bit of a shock to find Mad Dog missing on Sunday with
a knee injury he sustained in training the day before the West
Ham game. Even though the lads done well I still think we missed
him. Here's hoping he is fit for Leeds.
On
the injury Mick Rathbone said: "Thomas has fluid on his
knee and we are currently monitoring the situation."(29/10/02)
AGENT
SHITSTIRRER
Tommy's
agent John Sivebaek, the ex-Man U player, is doing a bit of
muck raking. He says that he knows nothing of a bid by Tommy's
former club Hamburg, but why say anything at all?
Tommy has been far more consistent this season and was in the
shop window across the world when we played the Mancs on Monday
night and after a decent World Cup then surprise, surprise his
agent pipes up. Well shut the fuck up Sivebaek, Tommy is contracted
until 2005 and is part of Moyesy's plans so go and earn your
commission elsewhere. (12/10/02)
