big duncs soccer school

i hear from various sources that the legend that is Big Dunc is involved / running a soccer school over in Spain. as i understand the big man lives over that way these days so it would make sense i guess. unconfirmed (and totally made up) sessions could be:

how to be a man and take no grief from anyone on the pitch
how to terrify the other lot from over the park just by looking at them (hello sammi hypia)
how to celebrate by winging your shirt over your head and look cool as fuck whilst showing your tat off
how to care for your pigeons
how to be what a footballer should be unlike these modern nancys and mercaneries (which we thankfully don't have at everton anyway)

as you can tell i am a massive Dunc fan and love the big guy to bits - i think i would prob faint if i ever met him ha ha! :-)

another win Everton 2 - Blackburn 0

Yet again we have another fine run in to the seasons end and our form , as in previous years, is mint. happy days :-) the boys obviously prefer playing in the sun ha ha as this time of year is always good for us.

Am well pleased whenever we beat this lot cos they are one of the nastiest , dirtiest teams around if you ask me. another fine performance from Ossie - come on Capello you can't seriously leave him out of the next England squad if you are really picking on form and not on favourites?!!! he would be a revealtion on the international stage and be just what england need to progress in the major competitions. thought Maggie looked good again as well and i think next season will be good for him. i really like the three in behind Beckford at the min - ossie , billy and maggie are all tricky , skillfull and just worry other teams which is mint. with Beckfords pace making room for them to advance with the ball and shoot or pick a pass it is a good team and formation for us and should be used now as our normal one i think.

big game next but almost past the other lot from over the road now - in your face Dogliesh!! :-)

summer transfers

its gettin towards the end of the season and as usual all our thoughts turn to transfers - who's coming in and also who will be going out. its always exciting , always frustrating and never easy!!

so who should be shown the door with a fond farewell and thanks for everything - while hopefully making us a big wedge of cash to re-invest in their replacement? word round here is that Billy is the number one that fans think should be out - although i would have to disagree personally. played in his right position regularly i think he'll come good but it seems most have run out of patience with him. he should make us a good bit of money if he does go and shouldn't be too missed as he's not a first team regular. the other one i hear mentioned a lot is Big Vic - seems everyone has had enough of him too. too slow , too lazy , too rubbish i hear everyone hear cry so seems like he would not be missed either. probably wouldn't make us much but at least would be off the wage bill. other candidates seem to be King Louis who is generally thought too old and injury prone for another season and Johnny H who is still about as popular as Hitler with most fans!

and who should come in? well i've not heard anything definate yet so no names to pass on really. you sort of have to go the fantasy football route and think who you would personally like here. maybe tempt that new Brazillian lad they're all on about over eh?

Murder at Molineux - Wolves 0 , Everton 3

And it was us doing the murdering thank god!!! i spoke to a couple of the hardy souls who follow the boys away regular and they told me that , although Wolves had good possession and spells of pressure, the result was never in doubt. we were just too classy and good for them.

as we all know it was a magic spell leading into half time that allowed us to wrap it up and take control. well pleased that our main man Becks scored - lovely little run and flick header to put it away. what about Big Phil lashing in the second too - he doesn't score many but they're always worth a look when he does. a lot of the boys think he meant to cross it but i hope not or it might have had somones head off how he hit it! and then the icing on the cake was our man from behind the iron curtain smashing one home. Now we all know Billy is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle as he can look amazing one moment and rubbish the next but the way he strode upfield and put that away was mint. i think he really needs to be played in that role just off the front man in a more central area to get the best out of him.

special shouts this week - well my eyes and ears on the terraces gave me two tips for it. first up is the man of the moment Ossie. now i know i have gone on about him for the last few weeks and don''t want to sound like some obsessed fan but he had another stormer. he should be in the England squad on this form and I actually think international football would suit him more than the Premiership. his guile and quick feet would be just what Capellos load of wasters need next world cup. also the new lad Maggie got a good write up - he's quick , direct and full of running which is refreshing and always good to see.

if you ask me that other lot from over the road are getting worried now we're steaming up behind them - would love it so much if we finished above them and 'King' K****y the twat :-)

Everton 2 - Aston Villa 2

what a game eh?! and why is it we always play well against the Villa but can never manage to beat them in recent times? this game was no exception although to be fair they played their part and were dangerous for most of the game as reflected in the score.

would it have been any different if Becks 'goal' off the underside of the bar had been given? maybe so - it was a bit unforgivable though of our entire defence to fall asleep and let Bent run off the back of them straight after though. i thought we'd recalled Big Joey Yobo for a minute cos that was the sort of stuff he used to get up too. his movement was good no question but we shouldn't have just let him go and then start to panic when he was clean through.

great game & goal from ossie again though although i can't believe Friedel let his shot through - his wrist was limper than Louis Spences for that! great nerve from Bainsey too to put the Pen away to level it - all he needs is a haircut and he'll be alright ha ha :-)
