Big Dunc is back!!!

OMG how exciting is this?!!! News on the fantastic Toffeeweb site is that the Big Yin is back where he belongs at Goodison. this has got to be the most exciting couple of days ever - first the Roses reform and then this. am so happy - like all Evertonians I absolutely love Dunc and am so pleased to hear he's back where he belongs. is apparently just informally working with the academy while he does his coaching badges but i would love to see him involved with the first team asap. give them all the shake up and fire in their bellies they need!

Big Dunc for manager in a few years time anyone?! :-)

Jimmy Mac

'Jimmy Mac when are you coming back' as the song goes. well right now as it turns out! the boys seem split 50 / 50 on this - some think its a backward step and shows how desperate we are to be bringing back an older version of a player who wasn't good enough first time round. others (including me) think its a good thing - another player into our stretched squad who can play in a few different positions and has premier league experience. he also has creativity and the ability to unlock defences which is lacking at the min.

will see how it all turns out but should be good :-)

Please let me be back in Goodison when I open my eyes

Chelsea game

we were gash , we lost - end of story! to be honest i didn;t expect anything with how we're playing at the min and being away to them lot who we can never seem to beat. time for a shake up of the team Davey according to all the lads. why not start with a more attacking formation and give Gueye, Strac, Velios, Barkley, Drenthe a go from the start? can't be any worse than whats happening with the current lot he picks!

rooneys dad

this is old news a bit but was talking with some of the boys re the alleged (I will repeat that in capitals as nothing has been proved as yet and he is an innocent man for all we know so is ALLEGED still) rumours re Rooneys dad and betting irregularities. how does this relate to everton i hear you ask? well i'm sure some of you still remember wayne used to grace the goodison turf before he buggered off to supposedly better things.

thing that struck everyone was that if it relates to games Shrek was involved in then it would be very interesting indeed. cos then the spotlight of truth would surely come his way and a few other players in the premier league  too i bet. who can forget the betting scandals in cricket specifically Hanse Cronje? and even in our game with the Grobbelar allegations? and didn't Fash the Bash get accused too as well at one point? (i will point out as well that these were totally unproven allegations and these two were found completely innocent too)

YMCA Its Fun to Stay at the YMCA

would it be so outlandish  to think match fixing goes on in our beautiful game with the amount of money involved now? is up to you but i know what i think - but that is just my personal opinion of course and i have no evidence to ! back it up

Billy

whilst i was looking at the scores from last nights international footy i noticed that our lad Bily scored for Russia last night after coming on. and it got me thinking about this enigma of a player we have in our midst at Everton. its fair to see he's not everyones cup of tea and hasn't set the world alight in his stay with us so far. so the question that springs to mind is: is he rubbish or he is decent?

i've always thought and still do that he is a very good player that is made to look bad by not getting a good run in the team to settle in and being played out of position. i also think he's being asked by Moyes to do things he's not good at and should not be in the team for - such as tracking back and tackling.

its fairly obvious to me that he is an attacking player and needs to be played as such in a central position just off the front men (the famous 'in the hole' position) where he can use his skill and creativity freely to carve so chances out and get some shots in. does anyone hit it better from long range than him in the current squad? i think not and is crazy not to have him playing where he can use that

It doesn't rain like this in Siberia

that derby game

this is the first day i have felt able to post after the debacle that was last weekends game versus the dark side. i'm not going to go into the main talking point in detail again as everyone knows about it by now and knows it was one of the worst decisions made in recent history (strangely a lot of the others were against us too?!) at least the red card has been rescinded now but doesn;t make up for the three points lost or being beaten by them lot at our place! i managed to watch this one and we were looking pretty even up until the sending off and could well have gone on and snatched a win i think. 

i think the bigger point it raises is the issue of cheating in the modern game - or gamesmanship as the pundits and newspapers who wish to sweep it under the carpet when used by one of their favourite teams call it. i think we're all in agreement that the way Suarez went down and writhed around was a disgrace and directly influenced the refs decision. this issue needs sorting now as it is a cancer that is slowly killingthe game and sending out the wrong signals to kids & society in general.

my solution? i've heard a few good ones but i think anyone who goes down like Suarez did should have to go off the pitch for at least ten minutes and not be allowed back on till after that time. after all if you're hurt that bad you would need at least that long to recover surely? in regards to general diving or conning the ref i would give them a five game ban if on review they were found guilty of it. well they can rescind red cards based on the footage after the game why not this too?
