Does anyone know why Moyes isnt giving the lad Vellios a chance. Played superb every time he has come on and tonight would have been a great opportunity. Would also have liked to see Barkley get a few minutes too.

What do you recon fellow blues?

Rossaldinho {Ed025's Note - it was a chance missed for me mate, i agree that vellios, and barkley should have been given a go while we were cruising..

Big vic off to reading on twitter. Would you get rid ed? {Ed025's Note - to be honest..NO...unless we bring in someone better..

Why even post this garbage, Eds? Even rumours need some credibility and given Victor's recent performances and the comments of DM and others it seems drivel to suggest he's moving.
Concerned Citizen {Ed025's Note - its a rumours site citizen...what do you expect mate.. :)

Big Vic is coming good, we need him

Doesn't look like Heitinga is going anywhere soon so can we stop saying he's in holland or whatever. great victory sunderland/Bolton here we come feel sorry for Ross should deffo send him back out on loan, if he's not going to play when we're 4-1 up at Cheltenham when will he! Also great to see jelly back on the score sheet! COYB

Why has Barkley not had a run out tonight?surely it was a good chance to give him at least a half? Does moyes not fancy him? Is he not training well. Few Wednesday fans I know said he was their best player this year!
Yorkshire blue

Check there web site fans were moaning about him not tracking back as well as players running past him so maybe we need to loan him out for the rest of the season and get him some proper first team experience after all it done ossie no harm

Don't like to make up silly rumours or speculation but was there anything in that wave Baines give to the crowd it looked like a wave of goodbye. Or was it merely just acknowledging our fans, just thought it was strange what do the rest of you guys think. Savefc

Baines will sign new contract if he was gettin transferred wouldn't hav played .why would anyone want to leave, moyes has said we don't need to sell, players look like there really enjoy playing .we, ll bring two players in forren n o vadis n mite lose hetinga .

The first nine words in your email sum it up perfectly....

George

You Don't like to make up silly rumours or speculation, but you still go ahead anyway. Unbelievable some people are.

I think it was a wave of acknowledgement of a job well done mate so don't worry ok hes blue through and through tell him eds coyb

He does that everytime he scores!
Joe EFC

I think you're reading a bit too much into a wave of gratitude there pal...

Murf

For god's sake, don't be ridiculous, he was just acknowleding the fans, is is not allowed to have a bit of a rest, he stayed on the bench, if you noticed, he had ice on both legs.

End of the season will IMHO be when DM, Baines, Fellaini, etc., will be making decisions about staying or going. I expect that some decent-sized investment for the squad would also influence DM. As several people have said, qualifying for Europe (especially CL) will be a major factor. With just one game a week from now on (mostly at weekends barring replays and rearranged matches) - and if we avoid injuries - we have a great opportunity for a strong second half of the season.
Once a blue, always a blue.

Can anyone recommend a decent internet site to stream the game from? We've got it on Sport+3 off wiziwig at the moment and its like watching a New Order video its that erratic. Domingo {Ed025's Note - first row sports mate..

Or download sopcast 3.5.0 and stream the sopcast channel off wiziwig its the top one decent quality aswell mate

As an exiled Blue, always watch the games on VIPbox.tv. They have several links for all games and the quality is excellent

This Mohammed is a cracking little player Yano looks
I've he could cause us a bit of bother 2nite. LIAM!!

How wrong was I then. LIAM!!

Thought they were surprisingly poor to be honest. Going well in the league and we weren't at our best, expected a little more from them. Very happy to ease through with no knocks (apart from bainesys reoccurring ankle bruising).. Ready to go for Swansea now!

Did what we had to do.

07 Jan 2013 19:31:48
Heitinga didn't even make the subs for tonight... Perhaps he is off then?

QB

Injured.

Quiz question in the daily post, name of the man who just had a hand transplant. Answer = clue, L S anyone know the answer. thgfest

Mark Cahill. Doesn't have L S though, so I don't know.

Mike {Ed025's Note - louis suarez does though mike..

Yeah ed. I figured it out after I posted. Thought it was a bit of a weird question to ask.

Mike

Think the answer=glue not clue laa ha ha! LIAM!!

It looks like footballers aren't the only people changing positions this transfer window; Bill Kenwright has been dropping a few hints lately about selling his majority shares in Everton. Apparently he has been made an irresistible offer by someone in the Sheffield area and with it being Christmas recently he could really do with the spare cash...

Word is the mysterious bidder is the self styled kareoke king of the north, the Indian tycoon Getuppta Singh.

Don't think david villa as ever played at goodison pal

07 Jan 2013 18:01:58
I really like coming on this site because of the great sense of humour from the majority of you guys. None better than Mike, I love to read his wacky outlooks. Keep it up mate.

Micky blue eyes

If he could keep it up, then he would have better ;-) things to do than posting on this site.

We will see after friday then"if no signing then we all pretty sure it was a red

Hi guys, I've been searching for a football site associated
with the toffees where you can remain anonymous. I am a pro footballer and have been offered an 18 month contract by Everton football club, I've not fully completed my full medical yet but don't envisage any problems.

I've not had much time on the pitch as of late, but I am fully fit and ready to play. the manager has given no assurances in terms of playing time, just to take my chance when I get on. my position is centre forward.

I am fast, I work hard, I have played for a big club and have had the experience of playing in your wonderful Stadium with its unique atmosphere, so forgive me for not signing off at this moment but hopefully I will be able to leave another post on Friday when the deal is signed and contract finalised.

Ed?

QB {Ed025's Note - search me mate..

Does anybody believe that? Mike B {Ed025's Note - whats not to believe?..

Ha get lost you kopite I'm pretty sure a pro player wouldnt come on here and tell us that they are signing for us...this is complete garbage!! {Ed025's Note - why are you so doubtful?...the guy has said nothing wrong, or abusive, benefit of the doubt and all that..

Darren Bent?

BitterBlue

I calculate 12 grammatical errors. The bracket for a real footballer is 3-5 per sentence. Sorry, I don't buy it. {Ed025's Note - it could be chris kamara, or paul merson.. :)

Can't you check to see if this poster has previously posted on this site Ed? If he hasn't then his post is certainly more 'believable'. I personally think if this is a genuine post that it is Darren Bent, fits the bill...

BitterBlue {Ed025's Note - hard to check bitter...but a good guess..

Why would Darren Bent sign an 18 month contract? It's likely to be someone who is injury prone or who is getting on a bit.

Have a laugh

Why would any pro footballer search out a site that you can post without leaving a name or signing upto a forum just to write some criptic clue?

if its a 'done deal' by friday then we will all know on friday

07 Jan 2013 17:19:18
Fast works hard and has played for a big club, that rules out andy carrol then!
Ste c {Ed025's Note - love it ste..

What a complete load of rubbish!
Ste Old Swan {Ed025's Note - it is a rumours site ste...lets wait and see..

Never heard so much garbage.

07 Jan 2013 18:30:28
Straq is back!

Saviola? Quick, has played for Barca and Real, played at Goodison for Benfica

Since when has Darren Bent worked hard? He has to be one of the laziest players ever.

Cant believe some people are actually thinking this could be real!

I enjoy speculating new arrivals from time to time but please stop suggesting who could be responsible for that message. It's quite embarrassing. Somebody on a wind up! Don't bite!

The poster who said 'since when has Darren Bent worked hard? He has to be one of the laziest players in the Prem, ' if it is Darren Bent do you honestly expect him to describe himself by saying 'I'm very lazy, infact I'm the laziest in the Prem!' Think about it mate....

BitterBlue

Any sensible guesses?Who fits the bill? Is have to go for Dj Campbell? Not saying id want him but at least realistic.Rob Walker

Hope its not Michael Owen bigging himself up, ha.

Darren bent an OAP not 18

Bitter, youre saying think about it...well if you thought about it you would realise it is a wind up stop taking it seriously!

I'm just joing in the fun and having a guess, obviously any sane person could realise that this is probably a wind up, but there's always a possibilty that this could be real

BitterBlue

I reckon 3-1 is on the cards tonight lads ! hopefully 3-0 if we can coyb

07 Jan 2013 14:53:42
Ive bin thinkin bout the players and the teams weve had here under moyes. Ppl seem to think this is moyes best team, i personally thought the team wiv jags, arteta, pienaar and yak was jst as gd but 4 injuries. If you could pik a team out of everyone who has playd under moyes what would it b? Im really struggling wiv mine but would go wiv martyn hibbo jags lescott baines donovan carsley arteta pienaar fellaini jela/yak subs howard distin mirallas dunc yak/jela neville osman any thoughts danny

Westerveld
Neill - Kroldrup - Senderos - Gardner
Naismith - Gosling - Tie - V D Meyde

Mike {Ed025's Note - trust you mike :)..

the yak the first season he joined

bench of martyn, jelavic, osman, fernandes, donovan, coleman, distin, johnson (going to get slated for this but could never fault his work rate)

07 Jan 2013 14:02:46
shall we have a sweep on how many games (or minutes) Mirallas last this time before injury?
I am a blue but he's starting to do my head in lasting half a game each time. {Ed025's Note - you are very fickle..

Bit over the top that mate he was with out doubt r stand out performer b4 the injury hes prob the most exciting player weve had since kanchelskis and your slating him. the club mite have rushed him back for all we know!

Hes doing your head in because he has an injury? bloody hell, get a grip

07 Jan 2013 13:57:45
I think Darren Bent would be worth a 6 month loan...just to give Jelavic a bit of pressure
Also think we need to give Heitinga more support...wasnt so long ago he was player of the season!!

07 Jan 2013 13:42:51
All fellow blues, I was trying to get to sleep last night and my mind started to wander onto Everton as it normally does, and kept me awake for another couple of hours, anyway I was trying to work out our best team and set up with our current crop of players, this is no easy feat believe me and I am suffering now after 3 hours sleep and on a 12 hour shift, right what formation, what right back, what right wing, who sits behind Jelly etc etc, cabbaged my head, anyway I have come up with mine and its a 4-4-1-1 formation, please remember this is mine and I know some people will Knock the formation and also my inclusion of Hibbo and Ossie but I rate both these guys so here goes:

HOWARD
HIBBERT-JAGS-DISTIN-BAINES
MIRALLAS-GIBSON-FELLI-PIENAAR
OSMAN
JELAVIC

Lets see what ye got fellow Blues, Mike looking forward to yours especially mate

Degsy

The Slovak Casillas
Coleman - Jags - Heitinga - Baines
Naismith - Gibson - Neville - Gueye
Fellaini
Anichebe

Mike

Come on Mike, surely that's not the best you can do.

Degs. I'm happy with yours, but i can't understand why it took you so long. Most of those are shoe ins. Get your head down straight after the final whistle mate.

COYB
Toffee ace

To be fair Toffee, it was harder picking that team than if I was doing it properly. As the first 11 almost picks itself.

Mike

And that took you two hrs ?

07 Jan 2013 15:07:32
Hey last nameless poster, so you agree with me or do you struggle to put more than one sentence together

Degsy {Ed025's Note - the latter i think degsy..

Mike you're right on that one. Just be nice if we could have them all fit. Then we can all lose a few hours sleep celebrating some silverware

Right, don't shoot me fellas, but would any of you take Torres on loan? I know he's played for the reds, and that he's flopped at Chelsea, but I reckon he's still a top striker and I think he'd bang them in for us! Just what I've been thinkin...be gentle with your responses...please.

Murf

Leave.... Just LEAVE!

07 Jan 2013 13:48:08
Murf top surname mate, same as mine kidder.

Torres is probably on 250k per week at Chelsea mate so if they footed the 200k then I would gladly accept him at our great club for 50k per week

Imagine what Moyes could do with this lad, there would be no softly softly approach like all the other managers have done with him and failed, a short sharp kick up the backside off Moyesee would do his confidence wonders, god was he good in his first two seasons Torres, remember him shrugging Rio off and scoring lol

Anyway seriously though mate it isnt gonna happen

Degsy

Yeahh I know it's never goin to happen, it was more of a hypothetical question..just think he's a good player who could do a job for us, regardless of his past.

Murf

07 Jan 2013 10:36:12
If you ask me Naismith is an absolute bargain for a free. But if I'm being totally honest he wouldnt be worth much from what I've seen of him this season. Can't fault his work rate tho. The sooner mirallas is back the better. Hope he's fit for st marys

He's (Naismith) simply not a wideman, that's what it is..he'd be much better where he's more comfortable - in the middle of the park, either being the striker, or along side him. Hopefully he gets the chance to play there tonight!

Murf

49 millon in debt? Who is to blame?

Capitalism.

EFCWhitesocks

Aah yes, bring on the gulags and secret police of communism - we'd all prefer that :)

Peter Johnson

49m in debt, one of the lowest debts in the prem and it is dropping, was up around 60m not long ago

people really need to actually read whole articles regarding debt and income/wages etc instead of just reading the headlines!

49m debt is at the end of the 11/12 season before the cahill deal, before the rodwell deal, before the nike deal, before the increase in season ticket sales this season, i'm getting fed up of repeating myself over and over one this one
