LCAB has motivated me to write something about our greatest ever post war player. I want to get rid of a couple of ghosts. The news that The Man had been sold came as such a shock; from out of the blue, that gossip started to do the rounds. Bally deserves the truth and not the lies that...

This was the day that one of the greatest Everton teams was finished as a force. We lost 2 - 1 to Liverpool in the semi final of the F A Cup, and it was evident that there was no coming back for some of the players. Some were ageing, others had a catalogue of previous serious injuries, others...

I'm not very comfortable that DM and BK appear to be so cosy together. From where comes the pressure to improve? And has that element of cosiness spread to some of the players? Something stinks here. I suspect it's a bit more complex than Round is a yes man, BK has no dosh, and the rest of...

Alexander Young. AKA the Golden Vision, also AKA as the Golden Ghost (Who's the player with it all ... Little Curly Alan Ball; Who's the player with the most ... Alex Young, the Golden Ghost). Ahem. Ladeez an gennelmen. It was a bloody cold winter in 63. Goodison had undersoil heating...

Some time ago, about 7.00 a.m. yesterday, I wrote that teams that win things don't need excuses. They just do it. As it happens, I believe that there's another few weeks to go before we can make any kind of reasonable assessment of the current mob. The jury is out. 1984 / 85. horrible...

Wonderful site which gives details even the biggest nerd won't have thought about asking for. So looked up 1962/63. Thing is, we'd done the double over United by the end of August. Had a shocker against Leyton Orient. But, by and large, we won the games we were expected to win, and a few...

Looking at the fixtures and - I guess because of today's news - just wishing that if we only do one double this year, it's over those smug, foul accented intellectually challenged persons from Villa. Oh and Newcastle. And Liverpool. But, funnily enough, Villa more than Newcastle.

If you read this, you've got to promise not to start shouting. You'll frighten the rent boy away, and it's not so easy to get the buggers to make in house calls to nursing homes. Ahem. My fave Everton team wasn't the '63 or the '80s outfits; it was the '69 / 70 crew. Won't go into...

Just a thought here, because Rodders reminds me so much of the late, great Bobby Moore. No, Moore didn't score goals and stuff. But he picked out a pass, had tremendous anticipation, and had a swagger which Jack seems to have. Moore started when he was 17 and didn't do so bad, so what...

Hi there, Stevie, Long time no speak, eh? Got your most recent message, but first, apologies for the World Cup - mind elsewhere I'm afraid. You were meant to win a couple of games but I'd had Jesus up all night with the measles, and he was being a little bugger, so I forgot to send my...

O.K., so I've been thinking about our Timothy. Not in a masturbatory way, but in a "Where does he play" way. And the more I think, the more I wonder. You see, even a one eyed donkey could work out that Arteta, Fella, and Rodwell will have to fill the centre three places. Won't they? And...

The F.A. have charged with Improper Conduct. Moyes has just been warned to keep the peace.

1970. Dad sat at breakfast like he always did, and despite mum's best efforts, the converstaion would ALWAYS turn to Dixie. "Say what you like about Alan Ball, there will never be anyone like Dixie". I'd already found a new religion called Ballism, so wasn't up for the Dixie chat, despite...
