who's got the best haircut nowdays?

with the couple of new signings and a few ppl leaving i think the time has come to consider a v important question. who of the current squad has the best barnet?

likely candidates are:

Big Felli (still rockin that Afro)
Royston (i think its a variation on a mohawk)
Baines (the classic indie boy mop)
King Louis (if its still blonde)

Can't think of anyone else to match those boys and for me it's Big Felli every time - the man is a god on the pitch AND in the barbers :-)

na na niii - is tulisa an everton fan?

just saying cos that what the rumours I've heard are - comes from a time she did a show in Liverpool and got given a everton shirt by a fan?!

Everton 3 - Wigan 1

Great win for us this one specially with goin behind for starters. must say i feared the worst when that happened - not cos Wigan are anything to be scared of but cos it looked like being one of those days where we weren't gonna get going.

Thank god for Super Jags pulling us back into it with his headed effort - just what we needed after slipping behind to that rat De Santo's strike. and then thank god for moyes making a good couple of subs with royston and velios coming on to make the difference

really pleased for the young boy Velios - he played well against Villa when he came on and did the same again in this game. looks like moyes has found another bargain deal here - he looks to have the lot and that crucial eye for a goal. was great that royston got on the scoresheet too - on his debut too! both good goals too - we have been playing well though so no surprise and well deserved

villa game

cos i am late with reporting on this and still gutted we didn't win I will keep this short:

we played well specially in the first half when we battered them
Velios looked a bit tasty and maybe deserves to start the next few games
deserved to win so a right bugger we only drew
we seem to have a real problem against Villa these days - not beat them for ages boo!
pies were not up to usual standard apparently
someone saw Britney Spears in the crowd so he reckons

so there you go - all you need to know ha ha :-)

Hit me baby one more time

will the new boys get thrown in?

after the enforced international break (nice timing as usual!) things will get back on it again this wkd in the league. so who reckons Moyes will throw the new boys in with a big slap on the back and a 'show us all what you can do'?

my own personal opinion is a big NO! why do i say that? cos if you look at all Moyes recent signings for the last few years he normally leaves them on the bench for an eternity and gives them the last ten mins of the game to try to do something (usually when we're already losing). by the time he does deem its ok to play them properly and give them a run in the team they've either given up & gone home or have spent so much time on the bench they're welded to it

but you never know , with numbers being low and injuries building he may prove me wrong :-)

transfer day dealings

what a transfer window that was - looked like it would be a quiet one and then exploded into life for us Toffees at the end! was at least nice to see some new signings for once specially as it looked like we wouldn't have any

so lets deal with the outgoings first - yes thats you Mr Arteta. I think like most Evertonians its a mixture of emotions on this one - am really sorry to see him go as he was a fine player and wish him all the best. Seems even worse cos theres no ready made replacement for him to take over the creative area of our team. However.........£10 million for a 29 year old who has frankly being average at best since his injury?!!! yes thanks Arsene you fool , i'll take it :-) specially with getting his massive wages off the books too which will help out our Finances. and maybe with him gone it will give others a chance to shine - am thinking Big Fella here as he should become the main man for us now in midfield and might give him the chance to shine. I see the Yak has gone too - not much to say on this really , it was pretty obvious he was never gonna play much again under Moyes so might as well get some money for him while we can. Bit gutted to see Jermaine B go though - still think he would have been a good player for us and we have jumped the gun a bit there. To my mind he never really got a fair crack in the team - and even then he scored ten last year which isn't bad (more than Big Vic who plays regular right now!)

On the brighter side we have had a couple come in - biggest one of them is Drenthe on loan from Real. He looks like a good player to me and I remember he was very hyped up a year or two back so could be a very good signing. well at least add pace & cover to our left side and offer us some genuine width there for a change. don't ask me about the other fella - records show he's scored loads in the Argie league so knows where the goal is but its a step up playing here for him. Meant to be  big strong boy & quick too so hopefully will come good for us and lets face it we need some strikers in!
