    New Crest Consultation

    Netromelo: nice work! Bottom left is also my favourite of the four designs. Only problem is the tower. Looks more like a lighthouse. Hopefully the club will be convinced to get rid of it in the next design.

    Ross Barkley

    Strong analysis in just over a minute. You have to love a player who doesn't sulk over a mistake, but rather keeps going working to correct it. One of the great things about Barkley is that he meets error with the same level of eagerness as he confronts success. He's going to put everything...

    New Crest Consultation

    I wonder what the badge would look like with the Dixie Dean-era monogram combined with the tower in the background?

    Everton confirm rejecting 28M for both Fellaini and baines

    If this must come to pass, then I'm hoping another club gets in on this act. In that case, it puts paid to United's strategy and maximises Everton's opportunity to profit from the incident. One more loss will have Arsenal trying to spend like a Viagra addict in a brothel. They may never...

    Everton confirm rejecting 28M for both Fellaini and baines

    Wouldn't want Martinez to face life without retaining at least one of those two. Replacing one player in the short term is difficult enough, especially when the selling clubs know both your need and how much money you have to fill it. Replacing two like Fellaini and Baines may be a bridge...

    Players who you have an unexplained love of.

    McBride. Didn't play long in an Everton shirt. But I loved the way he went about his business. Tireless worker and absolutely fearless when an opportunity for goal arrived.

    Liverpool 3-0 Everton. 13th Mar at 20.00.

    Absorb their pressure, hit them on the counter, and watch the self-doubt flow through RS.

    *Rumour* Nike the maker of next years kits?

    Hope not. Nike only goes up to XXL on shirts and some of us who resemble NFL offensive linemen need at least an XXXL option like we have at present.

    New contract tim Howard 2016

    He covers up much of the mess made by the players purporting to serve as a defence ahead of him. Better keepers? Yep. Joe Hart is fantastic. Also like Szezesny at Arsenal. But no Keeper will emerge mistake-free when you put a set of defenders consistently prone to mis-hit clearances or...

    Everton 2-0 Chelsea. 11th Feb at 15.00.

    Let us hope they continue aiding and abetting Suarez-created chaos.

    Sir Landon Of Donovan

    I agree with Wynalda's comments, to a point, as it concerns wanting LD to stay at Everton. But he has never struck me as a player who views playing full time outside of his home area in California as a career ambition. I just appreciate the fact he shows up in an Everton shirt and gives it...

    Everton 2-0 Chelsea. 11th Feb at 15.00.

    Great day. Everton impose their will on Chelsea and RS make absolute arses of themselves at Old Trafford. Chelsea are a reflection of their manager: physically timid, constantly complaining, and easily intimidated.

    Straq's last two performances

    There was an extended segment around the middle of the first half when it seemed like we were allowing City to dictate the terms upon which the match would be played. Straq changed all that with his play at that point. It put City off their typical course of action and, as you said, raised the...

    Sir Landon Of Donovan

    No doubting Andorra and the Faroes would get killed. But several nations in UEFA who miss out on the Cup would qualify with ease within CONCACAF. The Ireland side who lost through the auspices of Henry's hand comes immediately to mind. Comparing the two on a competitive level is like...

    Sir Landon Of Donovan

    To be fair, UEFA is a far higher standard of football than CONCACAF. Donovan has numbers, but those are inflated by the competitive level of CONCACAF. Doesn't mean he isn't a great player; LD has been absolute quality and has had a positive impact on Everton. The World Cup performances speak...
