What about Anichebe's shot in the 1st half !!!!! Can only remember the ball going over the shed end about once before in my years going there.

A mate of mine from Waterford just found the ball in his back garden.

Speculation: Sky Sports sources understand Leicester City have made a formal bid for Everton striker Jermaine Beckford !

i need a bit of advice from the everton community here. i m heading over to goodison with a few mates for the game v united in october. one of the lads booked the trip through celtic horizons and got the tickets from them. as the only united fan in the group i d prefer not to be in with everton fans (though i m sure youre all very nice upstanding people!:D) does anyone know if it would be possible on match day to swap over to the away section by asking stewards or contacting the ticket office in advance? cheers

I would doubt it. Away tickets are usually only sold via the away club, so you'd have to go via Man Utd to get those tickets and they generally only go to season ticket holders or if you have a number of home game stubs (most clubs work this way). They won't let you into the away section. You could just be anyone wanting to start trouble for example....

Sit with your mates in the Everton section, don't wear colours and keep your celebrations discreet and have fun!

You'll be fine I'd say. Our captain on the day (Phil) will be a lifelong United fan, so logically people shouldn't be too troubled by one in the stands

did you see him on sky last sunday with his son and oul fella in the away end at the hawthorns? phil is our man on the inside, remember his o.g. in 2007 that turned the league for united? my everton mates were convinced that it was a conspiracy!!

From experience I very much doubt you will be able to swap it over.
By the way if the stewards find out you support Utd and are sitting in the Everton end they may also eject you.

Seen it happen a good few times there where someone couldnt control themselves when the oppostion scored and the stewards would be over asking the person to go quietly and then a rain of abuse from the home fans.:pac:

That was all forgotten with THAT tackle on Ronaldo. Changed our season as well. Don't think Phil is that great a footballer but he makes a big difference on the pitch for us with his leadership. He's a top professional.

In fairness to Neville his career has taken off since he went to Everton. Moyes must take a lot of credit for the way he made him captain nearly straight away. Do you reckon Moyes is grooming him for a coaching/management role eventually?

Exactly Ciaran.

We have a lot of deluded fans with their heads in the clouds. It's very hard to be interested in the football played at the club the last number of years with the club in such a critical situation.

Who will be starting up front tomorrow?

brian_rbk

Saha I would imagine ... btw it's live on Setanta Ireland.

The optimist in me says Saha and Beckford, the realist reckons Saha on his own.

While I'm imagining line-ups...

Here's what I hope for;

---

Howard

Hibbert - Distin - Heitinga - Baines

Coleman - Fellaini - Osman - Arteta

---

Saha - Beckford

With Cahill and Barkley coming on if we need a game changer.

And Anichebe sat on a plane somewhere.


Here's what I expect;

---

Howard

Neville - Distin - Jagielka - Baines

---

Rodwell
Coleman - Fellaini - Arteta - Anichebe

---

Saha

With Bily and Beckford coming on after 70 minutes to try and rescue a point.

brian_rbk

Coleman won't be there anyway - still injured isn't he?

FYP!

with anichebe, BILLY, and yakubu brought on with 10 mins to go to try get all 3 points.

You're quite right. In my infinite wisdom I had forgotten to take injuries into account

In that case I can see Osman on the right and Bily or Anichebe on the left, with Arteta in the middle.

You know, if we could combine Bily and Anichebe into one player, we'd be on to something.

Barkley starting it seems !!!

Jesus wept. I have no other words

welcome to the world of Everton FC...

Is the season over yet?

x in the city

Starts January 2012.

eh i dunno

Jaysus just watched the highlights after been away all weekend. Looked shocking and can anyone see it improving? Debating throwing money on us at 16/1 to go down as i think this is gonna be one long season. Depressed after one game :mad:

x in the city

meh

fellaini, arteta, and cahill not at the races

give em a few more games... erm like january.

friggin hell, Everton should have prozac as sponsors.

eh i dunno

Jags out and Ridgewell in :mad:

Can see a lot of us battling alcoholism and depression this season lads

eh i dunno

: Mucha, Hibbert, Baines, Heitinga, Jagielka (c), Arteta, Barkley, Osman, Fellaini, Rodwell, Anichebe.

Tonights team Not confident and if we lose Bill is in for even more abuse

eh i dunno

3-1 win....hopefully we can kick on from here. Would still sell Jags if Wenger offers over 15m

Good to see Victor scoring tonight. He's a sack of ****e but a goal might help his confidence.

eh i dunno

Everton team to face Blackburn: Howard, Neville, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Heitinga, Arteta, Fellaini, Osman, Barkley, Anichebe.

Need a win big time today

x in the city

Everton to win, Blackburn are crap and will prob get relegated.

Better players, only question if we can bury the chances we create.

x in the city

a wins a win.

crap team blackburn, the sooner they go down the better.

impossible to play against.

hope that will give some confidence to the lads.

Can't see anyone but Howard getting confidence from that. The defense was shaky all match but done enough under large spells of pressure. Everton got very little up front with Samba and Givet coping easily for the most part.

Both Blackburns penalties were soft, but there was contact on both occassions even though Formica was looking for them.

Evertons was never a penalty, very harsh to award that, but Arteta put it away and that is all that matters really.

A win is a win as you say, as a Blackburn fan I would have taken 3 points and played like Everton, even though Blackburn were much the better team.

x in the city

its hard to play any meaningful game with the defensive negative type of football blackburn play.

a draw would have been fine and the loss is harsh for blackburn but dont like their style.

half of our team are still all at sea, once they realise the season has begun a few weeks now we might actually get better.

There was very little negative football on display from Blackburn today, I don't know how you took that from that game, other than being blindfolded with a pre-determined (as of your previous post before the game) view on Blackburn that has stuck since the days of Allardyce.

Everton will be hoping for the close of the transfer window and will be hoping that nobody leaves before then, as it is clear there is no money to spend, and might not be even if money does come in.

They can ill afford to lose Jagielka, much the same with Blackburn and Samba due to the lack of depth and experience of what will remain. Both clubs are threadbare at the moment and will have to rely on a mixture of youth and experience at various stages this season. How this fares for both we will have to wait and see.

Nowso

central midfield was terrible even billy was an improvement.

only for neville distan and howard it would have been way worse

x in the city

half of our players are asleep

arteta, cahill, fellaini, jags... to name a few are not even playing a fraction of what they can do.

we are slow starters, playing $hit and winning at ewood park is not a bad thing tho.

maybe i was harsh on blackburn, i thought they gave away many frees.

if we get good results at home there is hope yet...

yea, neville seems the only one putting in a good shift, distin also.

Lumbo

Only got to see the highlights last night. We really don't look like we've chnaged from the start of last season. The win might give us a bit of confidence and it was good that we got a bit of luck on our side for a change. Hopefully we get results against Wigan and Villa cause we're going to struggle for the next 5 games.

G.K.

Ye have signed Denis Stracqualuisi.

Not sure how I feel about this, but I guess it means Yakubu is staying put.

Or else we're planning on going the whole season with Saha and no cover (Anichebe doesn't count).

Strange move.... Tim Cahill to be deployed as a striker again?

Who knows. I'd like to think that Moyes wouldn't let Beckford go for £4m without having a replacement in mind, considering we have other players who would go for more money, and for whom there are alternatives in the squad.

Maybe this Argentinian on loan is it. His Youtube video isn't as good as Bily's... :rolleyes:

The Volt

Yak on his way to Blackburn apparently.

I've heard 2 out 2 in today so fingers crossed we aren't pinning our hopes on an unknown Argie

Peyton Manning

Strange signing is Stracqualursi. He looks great in Argentina because no one knows how to deal with him, there aren't exactly many strikers like him over there and he just bosses defences. He's fantastic headerer of the ball though which is very useful in the PL, buy can't imagine he'll have it all his own way. How much is he costing ye?
