sad news has been announced regarding one of Evertons most loved and injury prone youngsters, James Vaughan. Reports are coming out that we are going to sell him for a couple of million to Norwich within the next few days.
Have to say I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it is shrewd business by Moyes to offload someone who is injured all the time and so never plays or is a useful member of the squad to keep on the payroll. And to get a reasonable fee for him to is smart dealing also and would allow us to reinvest it to get someone who isn't such a sicknote. But...........part of me is sad to see the boy go as I, like a lot of Toffees, have a fondness for him and a hope that he will still come good given one more chance. The lad is a goalscorerthrough and through and quick with it which is really what we are missing. I guess he was so hyped up when he broke through into the first team a few years back that we still want to believe he can fulfill that potential with us a la Shrek the Third (unlucky at the weekend by the way Wayne ha ha)
but as with everything in life business is business and nothing lasts for ever so I guess it's just the right time for all involved to part ways. goodbye and good luck Jimmy :-)

whos going down? and who can we nick off them?
it's getting towards the end of the season now and the relegation issue looms large for some clubs. luckily not us but we could be involved in the sense that we could pinch some good players off the teams that do go down.
so who could we get in theory? well i think we all agree a striker or two would come in very handy next season. in light of this then i would take DJ Campbell from Blackpool as he is quick and knows where the goal is. also that Ba at West Ham looks good and I wouldn't say no to Carlton Cole either. i also like that Zigic from BHam - yes he's a is lump but i think he has some skill too and scores.
other players that spring to mind who i would like are Adam and Vaughan from Blackpool, N'Zogbia and McCarthy from Wigan and Parker from the Hammers.
only thing is we have no money so prob won't get any of them!

and the season ends with a.........whimper!
not too much to say about the game at the wkd against West Brom - suffice to say the boys have gone on their summer hols early by the looks of it ha ha! i didn't get to this one but a couple of the lads did and apparently I didn't miss much. as above the boys seemed to not really be up for it. i guess we've got seventh and not got any chance of sixth so in some ways its understandable.
but having said that this is our club they're playing for and are handsomely rewarded for it and so should be able to motivate themselves for games. it would be nice for us to end the season on a high after all and take some confidence into next season. oh well onwards and upwards :-)

Everton 2 - Man City 1
another fantastic win for the boys and particularly pleasing to put one over on big spending City again ha ha! as the goodison faithful sang 'Lescott , Lescott whats the score' oh well i'm sure his luxury mansion and garage full of cars made him feel better last night the twat!
truth be told it was a classic game of two halves though - we were not that great in the first and were probably a bit lucky to go in only one down. now common sense tells us that Moyesy must have got stuck into them at the interval as they were a different team after the break. although Big Dunc had made a highly public visit to Goodison for this match so maybe he got in there and shook a few of them up. can imagine how Big Dunc having you up against the wall by your throat and telling you to get your finger out would motivate you ha ha. so glad he was there by the way - living legend whatever anyone says and always will have a place in my heart.
anyway second half we slaughtered them - the catalyst on the pitch seemed to be a particularly crunching tackle from Jack and the resultant flare up. they don't like it up them Captain. the other thing that seemed to swing the game in our favour was Tiger Tim coming on. not sure why as he is only half fit and a bit rusty but it just seemed to unnerve them and make them panic. he won the free kick that we equalised off - fine delivery into the box and great header from Sylvain. and what about the winner eh?! Little Ossie continues his fine form of late with a great run and header that flew over their keeper into the net. fantastic lad!
the best thing for me then happened actually after the whistle when a proper bust up occurred which resulted in Nev giving Mancini and Platt what for in no uncertain terms and having to be held back. seems like they were trying to have a go at Shay and our Captain wasn't standing for any of it. well done Phil - its that sort of spirit and sticking together that makes us so much better than any other team.
