4 too many

OT is a right f***ing s***hole. I went to my first away game ever there - In our end luckily. You can smell the bile on the air though. I always try and give a little bit of it back when they come to us - just a little bit of it sometimes gets me funny looks from some of our lot (who've obviously never been there!!!) The Germans had the right idea about it.

This topic makes me bi-polar Yes we'll win it - oh no we won't... Oh yes we will - oh no we won't... oh yes we won't - oh no we will...

I was most probably pissed by then. Lunchtime kickoffs are a killer. Beer for breakfast I know we we're good towards the end, as soon as we took the lead there was only ever gonna be one result. Before that though, all credit to Spurs, they made our job hard and should have taken the lead through Jenas. And like I said, if that would have happened, there would probably be some long faces around here... And yeah, I thought Kuyt's finish was alright Just like the devils buttermilk

Yup. I was singularly unimpressed with us on Saturday. 3-0 was almost as flattering as the 3-0 we suffered the other week. If Jenas scored we'd be talking about an entirely different result. Until we took the lead, Tottingham didn't look like conceeding in my opinion, and with a 1-0 lead, and a fresh Edgar Davids just on the pitch, they'd have been even more difficult to break down. Still, I reckon we're due a few slices of luck, and I liked Kuyt's finish.

It's just a jump to the left...

As you've probably heard, you we're the the best team on the day n'all. We hit the post twice, which Moyes thought was "brilliant", and you seemingly managed to get away without even giving so much of a foul away, despite 2 good peno claims. You then had Reina's juggling act to top it all off... A really good day at Everton's office. there will deffo be a DVD so don't worry. Know what you mean about a trophy. I remember when we beat Birmingham in the league cup final - it seemed like forever since we'd won a cup - it must be seem like eternity since 1995...

I had a dream last night that Daniel Agger was shot dead in a police terrorist raid. I remember thinking "I bet that copper was a bluenose, the murdering b*****d...".

I think it's all a bit off the way things have gone. I remember when I was a kid (I'm only 32!) there being the highest rivalry and both sets of supporters had a lot more respect for each other. As well as the friendly/unfriendly! banter. Now I'm afraid it has gone sour. I think a lot of the bitter blue thing rings true. If they were more successful on the pitch, they wouldn't be so jealous of our success, or feel the neet to vent their frustrations in our direction - which I'm also afraid, some of our fans don't take as a form of flatery. The straws which they clutch at - like Heysel - do nothing for them as they're so easily rediculed, adding fuel to the fire. I reckon the "friendly derby" atmosphere will only come back when Everton start to win things again, otherwise one set of fans involved are gonna stay feeling downtrodden, poor relations - which is hardly a good basis for friendship is it? I for one will get a few jibes in when we do win, but I always feel sorry for the poor f*****s. Which no doublt rubs it in further!

I seem to remember when complaining to ITV about our scheduling - they told me that 99% of the time they put an away fixture on ITV1... Seems to hold true on this occasion...

Was talk of seven but I don't remember it being settled on. 99% sure it's still 5. 7 would deffo make sense for the richer clubs some I'm sure it will happen sooner or later...

Tanking of Houllier - he's at it again. Dunno how much the "New Deschamps" cost, but he's a bargain. Maybe Rangers will be interested in the old "New Desailly" to go with him. Although he was a bargain. Sort of Rangers new boy Jeremy Clement is the new Didier Deschamps, according to former boss Gerard Houllier who added he was a "bargain".

I agree Kuyt's been overhyped. Even yesterday though, I thought he looked eager. Came to get the ball, held it up, decent control, strong runs etc. Not the best game from him, and agreed, anything over 9-10 mill for any "give him a go" player is wildly excessive. Hopefully we'll find someone similar and less well known

I don't know how the Barca scheme works - but co-incidently - did you know that Barcelona FC were founded by a lad from Crosby...

I'm more shocked that we might end up keeping all 4 to be honest. I've read somewhere before from Moro that he's fed up moving his family around. And he's really not into moving anywhere. He wants his kids to learn English, and his contract is a good length of time for them to do so. Doesn't seem to be like he's that arsed about anything else to me. I mean, he seems a professional sort of player - but his heart is not in it is it? Cisse is gonna be difficult to shift as well. Quite apart from the hit we'll have to take on the transfer fee to do it. So we buy another striker and see which one these two blinks first?

I think we're playing Crewe. That was the "next game" on the offal homepage before the Wrexham one was arranged.

Morientes is staying... bbc If he's determined to stay - as I've read because he doesn't want to keep moving his family I can't see Rafa selling Crouch. Fowler is not there for selling. Only leaves one left doesn't it? Unless we keep all 4...

Can someone just tell me what it is then. I can't stand the tench-on.

Nice one. Cheers Deathscar! (never thought I'd type that) I think thats the same image though - just bigger if know what I mean - looks the same when you stretch it (except with red header and footer). Has anyone got a higher res version? That's a big f*****g perch.

has anyone got a bigger one. Would make a nice wallpaper to stick on Mancs' desktops. And mine come to think of it...

Defoe is not the player I thought he once was. Not beacuse he's off form, but because it was pointed out to me the 2 or 3, but mainly one type of goal he scores. He did alright with that when he first came on the scene. And the one I like is the one where he cuts in from the right of the box and beats the keeper at the near post. I've seen him score the same goal loads of times. And I don't watch too much West Ham or Spurs if I can help it. Problem is - his goals are drying / dried up because he's been sussed. Pace is not everything - he has little poaching instinct, his movement isn't great - and they're the things great strikers are made of. I would be majorly suprised and disappointed if we signed Defoe for anything more than 3-4 mill. Simply as an option if Cisse gets injured, and to see if we tease something else out of his locker which no-one has seen before. Otherwise - forget it.

Are they stealth shirts?

If you cast your bread on the water, It returns a thousand fold. That's what it says in the bible, and that's what I've been told... So I cast my bread on the water, It was spotted by a froggy. All the bits he didn't eat, Just floated back all soggy.

Is there a smiley for "these poems are really starting to get on my t***" ?
