Everton FC - Fan's Views

I have just heard on Radio Merseyside that the River Alt has burst its banks in Valley Road Kirkby. In addition, the area is suffering from a sewage overflow due to heavy rains. This forsaken location is where Billy No Dough wants to relocate to before selling up. If, and I hope we never do, we move there and the sewer overflows again will this be a case of the shit hitting the fans?

Tinker, Firstly. Now I probably could not play three games in six days, but then again I am not a fuckin athlete in superb physical condition with the worlds best trainers monitoring my fitness levels 24 hours a day and being paid handsomely for the pleasure of playing football, after all they are only playing football.
Second. In case you had not noticed we have taken 9 points form a possible 18 at home, this includes drawing our last three including Wolves and Stoke. and away we have taken 3 from a possible 12. To leave us sitting only 4 points from the bottom three. we are hardly setting the prem on fire, again. Now as for your ridiculous comments about not giving a shit about the carling cup, do you realise this is a trophy? something we have not won since 1995? Since then Leicester have won it twice!! Boro have won it, Blackburn have won it, not to mention the shite a few times and Chelsea and United and Spurs, so I guess some of these clubs, "give a shit" about it you tool! It is a trophy you should set out to win every competition you are in.

Moving swiftly on to our massive injury crisis, I'll give you Arteta, Pienaar and Jags, but you'll have to jog my memory as the the other quality players we are waiting on? Victor?? Vaughn?? These are nothing more than second rate squad players, besides it is the Managers fault if he does not have a squad big enough to compete in all these competitions. after all he has been here long enough to assemble a decent squad! But no! as he buys so much shite we are constantly rotating our squad.
Finally this is a forum for people to air their views, not all of us look at the ginger twat through rose tinted glasses, some of us go the game and witness the dross we are served first hand on a weekly basis, not just the best bits on match of the day you fuckin balloon head. Go and watch shamrock rovers and leave us real blues to suffer in peace.

I agree with Tinker I would like to leave us supporters with a thought and for those who are fortunate to live close enough to go and see the blues play on good and bad days, need to read carefully what this says.

Goethe said, 'Treat a man as he appears to be, and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be.'

One day a principal called in three teachers and said, 'You three are the finest in the system, so we're giving you ninety high-IQ students to see what you can do with them.' Those students achieved thirty percent more than the other students in the school. At the end of the year the principal called the three teachers in and said, 'I've a confession to make. You didn't have ninety of the most promising students; they were run-of-the-mill. We picked them at random and gave them to you.' The teachers naturally concluded that their exceptional teaching skills must have been responsible for the students' great progress. 'I've another confession,' said the principal. 'You're not the brightest teachers; your names were the first three drawn out of the hat.' So, why did those students and teachers perform at such a level? Because they were encouraged to believe they could!

Baseball star Reggie Jackson said, 'I'll tell you what makes a great manager; a great manager has a knack for making ball-players think they are better than they are. He forces you to have a good opinion of yourself. He lets you know he believes in you. He makes you get more out of yourself. And once you learn how good you really are, you'll never settle for playing anything less than your very best.' Today, go out and encourage somebody! Ann (04/11/09)

Mate, I understand your frustration at the moment, in fact I guess most of us do. But I have to tell you to grow up! Have you totally forgotten the nightmare of "Walter Smith"? Do you remember being so close to relegation year after year? Really? Have you forgotten?

Moyes has done a miraculous job for us. In the last 6 or 7 years we've gone from relegation candidates to champions league hopefuls!!! With very little money (I know what you're thinking, but compare us to the teams we're competing with).

To suggest that Moyes has taken us as far as we can go? Are you out of your mind???? He's absolute class. Do you honestly think Man Utd or the other clubs that have been mentioned would look at him if he weren't.

We have a star manager and should be fighting tooth and nail to make sure he stays with us!

I get the complaints at the moments, and wish like everyone else that we were picking up more points and kicking on, but the reality is most of the team is out injured. The lads who've come in have done a good job in a difficult situation.

Personally, I think we should get behind the lads and the boss and give as much support as we can.

What the fuck has David Moyes got to do? 1st, we are not a top 4 side, nowhere near it. But HE has led us to a 4th place, 6th place & two 5th place finishes, all on a shoestring compared to the teams that have finished above & around us. The Sky league consists of 3 outstanding teams, 5 good ones & the rest. Moyes' plan would seem to be to finish as high as possible so that the club continues to improve, we cant throw money around because we dont have it. In spite of this we continue to improve, we're a top six side, and whilst that isn't good enough for some fans its as good as we can hope for in the current financial situation that we're in. The mans a genius, you only have to look at some of the teams that have thrown wads of cash around trying to get into a position like ours to realise the amount of savvy this mans got.

Moyes wants us in the Champions League, winning trophies, but the reality is your looking at being very lucky ( Portsmouth winning the FA Cup when all the better teams knocked each other out or just couldn't be arsed), or gradually building. That's not going to happen all of a sudden, by that i mean 4 or 5 seasons. We need cash, lots of it, a better stadium, sorry, i've got some great memories of Goodison but we need a better, modern stadium, its becoming embarrassing. He's got control of this club & i'm glad he has too, only 3 teams have a manager running things from top to bottom, Man U, Arsenal & Everton. If we lost Moyes we'd be in serious trouble, by the way, all you critics of Moyes, you NEVER come up with the name of another manager you'd like in his place.

Every season now you get teams coming up and playing every home game like a cup tie, sitting back away trying to catch you on a rare attack & filling their sides with giants to get a goal through set pieces, but cream always rises to the top. We have got the foundations in place, that's vital, but without investment we're going to have to rely on this managers skill in getting the best out of his players. The fact is that we're not ready for the Champions League yet, but David Moyes is the best hope we've got to, hopefully, get there. Kev Clarke (04/11/09)

My Evertonian daughter Helen Tosney is the "pin-up" for August in the new Pin-Up for Heroes calander which is available to order now with all proceeds going to Help for Heroes - a charity that supports our wounded servicemen & women. I won't keep you in suspenders, sorry I mean suspense about the calendar theme so log on and dig deep for a very worthy cause.

Dear Bluekipper,

As always, keep up the sterling work, however, why do you feel the need to publish some of the absolute garbage letters written by so called Evertonians.

I refer to letters written by Mal(trueblue) and Matt (season ticket holder lower Gwladys) in the emails 338 section.

First of all Mal, who would prefer to lose 2-3 as opposed to a boring ground out result???? You are a idiot Mal.What evertonian in the right mind would rather take a 2-3 loss at goodison 'AGAIN' than a boring 1-0 ground out victory. Do yourself a favour, go watch a rugby or basketball game mate, they will both have more points than goals in a football game if thats what you really want. Wise up. Perhaps you would like to listen or read Phil Jagielkas comments before the Villa game that he would settle for a boring ground out 1-0 victory. Do us all a favour Mal, you know.....

And Matt,

You are even worse, even being in all these competitions is still not just for playing 3 games in 6 days. I'd love to see you play 3 games in 6. You reckon you wouldn't be tired???

Also (and i save the best for last) is your comment about the relegation fight and our exit from the carling cup as if it is the end for our football club. Don't make me laugh, relegation fight? if you or any other evertonian believes we will be in a relegation fight, especially having 10 or so players injured and nothing but our best players to all return to the team soon. You my friend are nothing but a total idiot. You also think the carling cup is the be all and end all???? OH NO, WE ARE OUT OF THE CARLING CUP, WE ARE DOOMED, THE END MUST BE NEAR. Stop scaremongering you cretin. You think most of us give a shit about the carling bleedin cup? Wise up. And do us all a favour, both you and your mate Mal, keep your idiodic comments to yourself.

What a total bag of shite.

Tinker (perplexed with some of our supporters) Belfast Blue.(02/11/09)

It appears to have gone very quiet regarding the 'they threw bananas at me' incident, not to mention the abuse of the young Everton ball boy.

Not wanting to sound too cynical, but should the banana throwing allegation have been proved correct, especially in these days of trial by television and CCTV, we wouldn't have heard the last of it from the media. This is the media, that loves a good story to sell papers and subscriptions and allows itself to be pulled from left to right, depending on the owner's political persuasion. They would have had a field day denouncing Everton Football Club.

So, if the race card is to be played and the usual uproar that follows, let's hear it from the media demanding why nothing has yet materialised from the police, the Premiership the FA and of course his dog.

Allegations have been made by the self proclaimed 'superstar' Diouf. Where are the pictures, or indeed the video evidence that so profusely dominates today's game. Allegations have been made, they should have been substantiated by now. I'm not going to assasinate this player's character as he's already done that without anyone else's help. Have the Club taken legal advice and if so, is this being pursued? The Premiership have been quite good at sweeping things under the carpet (according to Lescott after the Emre/Yobo abuse incident). Is this going to be a case of deja vu?Just wondering, although I can't hold my breath forever.

I know its difficult at the moment with so many injuries, so it is hard to critiscise. However, you would think that those who are playing would wear the shirt with pride and play in the position asked of them no matter what the circumstances.

Some players do appear to be lost in the position they are being askled to play in and as one of your emailer suggests Fellaini is becoming a liability as he loses his midfield position and ends up on the edge of the penalty area giving the ball away. Thats how Spurs scored against us. Albeit after the Harlem globetrotters got involved in the penalty area.

Its a simple game 4-4-2 a defence, a midfield and two strikers. My question is this! Why does Moyes make a simple game so difficult with ridiculous tactics where 4-4-2, becomes 4-5-1 or 4-1-4-1 especially at home where season ticket holders want to see their team build a fortress, with positive free flowing football, and not dire and dismal 4-5-1 or 4-1-4-1.

We have the Villans this weekend. I would rather have a go and lose 3-2 than watch a diabolical game of tactical rubbish.

Come on Moyes 4-4-2 and go for the throat and the win, instead of sitting back and getting trounced!

Mal(trueblue).....but not holdings.(31/10/09)

David Moyes is complaining at playing 3 games in 6 days? forgive me if I'm being stupid but doesnt success bring more games? If your playing all these games it means you are in cup competitions? isnt that what we want? shouldnt he be bolstering our squad to be able to compete in all these competitions? and signing players in time to play in these competitions?

We are out of the carling cup and on the brink of a relegation fight! If his hands are tied by the board he should come out and say so, rather than put us through the agony of being forever also rans. In my opinion he has taken us as far as he can now! no one can argue with the shite football that has been on display at goodison over the last few years and this season has been awful to watch. At Spurs last night we looked like Wimbledon!! Stop sulkin about being successful you ginger twat and concentrate on keeping the ball for more than 3 passes. One final point if Jo must be the worst player ever to come out of Brazil!
