From Utd Rumours tonight. bless.
'Potentially Utd could drop to 16th come Monday night, worrying times'.
As one of the eds would say, hmmmhaaaaaaaa!

Firstly, I wish to announce that I have sought and gained (at considerable expense) with copyright the official name, 'Meltdown Utd' so please posters as from this point the new name is,
'Meltdownmushyunited'.
With those boring legal bits out of the way, c'mon Everton we have a real chance here of doing big things this year. stuff Europa we must be setting ourselves for challenging for the big one and as I posted last week, WHO have we to be afraid of?
Would love to see DM's face if we blagged it this year!

Why would we be blagging it Mushy, I think we have a real opportunity this year.
COYB.

I would not disagree with you on that Mushy. Chelski are so so, Man City seem to be Jekyll and Hyde, and meltdownmushyunited (copyright observed!) are in a total mess. Reading their banter page it seems the tide is turning with regards to giving gollum time, I think he is going to be hard pressed to turn it around.

If results go our way over the next 48 hours we could be sitting in 3rd come Monday night. We have a decent squad, a manager who isn't afraid to give it a go or change it around as soon as it is obvious the plan isn't working, so why not? This could be a year to remember for us. let's hope so!

Thanks Wtg,
Have waited since the 80's for this year, we have only one fear and that's fear itself. If we can do something this year the dark days of poverty maybe gone!
Going to sleep now to find out when I wake that Utd won 3-0 and Baines is refusing to play against Newcastle!

Just a quick note to those who watch the games online - whether it be all the time or just a few times a season:

On the post about firstrow being blocked on Virgin, someone (I can't remember who) said something about ads, as well as the chance of malware. The answer is an AdBlocker. All browsers (well most of them - Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari, etc) can get them. On Firefox, go to the top left and click the 'Firefox' button, then click 'Add Ons', and finally click 'Get Add Ons' before search anything along the lines of 'ad blocker'. My personal preference is AdBlock Plus. And in case you're wondering, it's free.

Likewise for Chrome. Go to the Chrome store (Google it if you can't see a link in the browser's tool bar) and do pretty much the same as Firefox (by searching for AdBlock).

As for other browsers (Safari, IE, etc) just Google along the lines of 'AdBlock for (insert your browser here).

Once installed, restart your browser and go to any live stream and see how all the ads are gone. Happy days.

Thanks for not posting a piece on David Moyes.

Not only was Moyes at fault with Rodwell (for his injuries by training him too hard), Jelly (for making him run around too much), Barkley (for not letting him out of kindergarten).I also heard that Moyes was to blame for global warming, the Syrian chemical weapons and the Kenyan shopping mall terrorists.
Come on Blues let's show a bit more dignity and remember what the guy really did in taking us from bottom six to regular top six. OK I accept the way he left us could have been handled better and a few things he has said since were let's say not very diplomatic. But blaming him for just about all the worlds problems seems something the dark side would do. not us. let's support RM and let Mr Moyes move on with our thanks.

Lets see if you feel this way we come January, take off your moyes tinted glasses, move on accept he is trying to carve out MU with the best Everton players
and then we can talk about dignity!

Paddock Neil

Of course he is Paddock Neil. It is his job. Like it was his job to do the best for Everton when we paid his wages. Like I say, he has been a bit naughty regarding the way he left. He has also been a bit naughty in going to press about which players he wants. That is not Everton's way. We have never done it that way. Manchester United have always done it that way. This is not just Moyes. all their managers have always done it. Fergie did it. I suggest it is their policy. I suspect they will come in for Baines again and I suspect they will have to offer a lot more than last time. I also suspect that if they do, Baines will NOT sign a new contract and try to run it out to leave on a free. or even force a move by handing in a transfer request. Will you turn on him then?

Am with you neil sorry degs

Im on the fence

I love to hate the guy

Are you a Moyes fan or an Everton fan Degsyp? I'm sure there's plenty of room with the prawn sandwich brigade at OT should the former be the case.
Granville.

Granville: fetch a cloth.

Granville, please do not ever say something to me like that again. I just messed up all my emails when I read your post. I am 45 years a Blue so far and hoping for a few more. Resorting to insults like that from Reds I can take. But a fellow Blue cuts to the bone.
Degsypulford

I apologise profusely if I've offended you Degsyp, I wasn't for one minute questioning your love and affinity to EFC, but your seeming obsession centring on Mr Moyes is quite strange, he's gone.
He was great at motivating a team and picking up bargains but I feel he's out of his depth at MU. He believes his own hype too much and is getting ahead of himself, he's achieved nothing so far of note. He's also tactically and technically naive, IMO.
All he's done since he's left is insult and belittle us, and he's burnt his bridges with many a fan, me included.
If you're happy to hear him spout this hateful drivel about our club, then fine, but he's gone, nothing to do with EFC. I just find it strong that some still have any positive feelings towards him and continue to talk about him in glowing terms.
I HAD great respect for what he did for our club, but since he's gone it seems like the past 11 years have counted for nothing in his eyes. Without us he wouldn't be where he is today, he could, at least, afford us a little respect.
Granville.

* I just find it STRANGE * ^ should read

Apology accepted Granville. Like I say I am 56 and have been through some harrowing times supporting our club. Mike Walker and Walter Smith both so very nearly took us into the 2nd division (now known as Championship). We had some dreadful players and yes I support Moyes for the fact he turned our club around and when he left, we were in a MUCH better position. I wished him well and still do. Yes I am irked at the way Baines and Felli were approached/tapped and the way Moyes himself was approached. But this goes on in football with lots of clubs. Real Madrid tapped up Ronaldo from Utd for instance. Since Moyes left he has surprised me with a couple of quotes though. but then again Stubbsy surprised me this week with a quote. It happens. Like you say we should move on and get over it. That's all I was also trying to say. Move on and get over it. Wish the guy well and stop blaming him for everything about our club that is wrong. We are certainly in a better position now than 12 years ago when he took over. and quite a bit of that is down to Moyes. The terrorist incidents/inflation etc are not down to Moyes. I think the word I should have used is perspective. Good luck Granville and let's hope for a big win Monday eh? Good feelings this year eh?
Degsypulford

Let's hope so Degsy, I have a good feeling about this season and am hopeful of progress, though I am realistic enough to know it's going to be difficult to surpass our former manager's 'achievements' this early in Roberto's tenure, but so far so good, but still very early.
I too remember all too clearly the dark days of Walker and Smith (having been fortunate to witness 2 league titles, 2 FA cups and the ECWP) and, as I alluded to earlier, was grateful for what our former manager did in restoring some much needed pride and dignity in our club.
Here's hoping we can continue to progress under Roberto and maintain our unbeaten start to the season with a comprehensive hiding of the barcodes.
All the best
Granville.

Bloody phone, it's difficult to construct a cohesive, sensible narrative when I can't see what I'm typing. European Cup Winners Cup, you get my gist?
My main point was meant to be that he should show us some bloody respect
I'll leave it there now before I dig myself any deeper
Up the Blues
Granville.
