I hove Tim Cahill, been one of our best players over the lad 10 years. And will be in the hall of fame one day....

But please, please don't say he's one of our best players ever......

Its just embarrassing.

Spot on. You too Pabbers.

I don't think Ive liked played so much since Duncan. Hes ace. He's not one of our greats though and I think he'll admit that. It's a very exclusive club to be called that.

It's the younger lids, everything has got to be "da best ting in da world man" they know no different. The twitter generation. They like to start petitions and campaigns so they feel part of something. They'll grow out of it.

Who's saying that?

I think Cahill is a legend but he wouldn't even be in the top 50 Everton players for ability.

In terms of his importance to our side up until last season, I would say he would make our top 50 easily, much in the way Arteta would and Baines and Fellaini will if they carry on like they have over another few seasons.

I've opened up another can of worms here, I see!

The point is that seemingly the older fans have the audacity to suggest that because the Everton of my era isn't as good, we can't have players we consider to be legends. My point is that it's not just about ability -- that's a kopite sentiment if there ever was one. I'll avoid re-hashing my Cahill praise and why I think he is a legend, but ultimately I do think that he is. He, like Ferguson in the 90s, is who represents the time for me. A fighting, battling Everton with a never say die attitude -- perhaps he's not a world class player, but he has a world class endeavour, sense of professionalism and passion for the club.

If older fans don't look at him or Dunc like they look at their own idols, then fair enough that's fine by me. But what these players mean to me as a blue is something beyond mere fanaticism. They are absolute legends to me, and legends because I quite literally will be telling tales of them to the next branches in the RFUS family tree.

Spot on.

Cahill will be back at some point anyway, I already half expect him to be on the pitch at half time against Utd with Z cars playing and everyone singing his name. Sounds like a good send off to me anyway.
 
Could not agree more the workrate Tim has put in over the last 8years deserves a testamonial.

Hes been very well compensated for that hard work by earning more in a week than the vast majority of us earn in a year.

Lets just wish him and well and buzz off all the ace things he's done wearing our shirt without going over the top wanting a testimonial, corner flags with 17 on them or a testemonial despite not having ten years service. There's no need for all that. He'll always be remembered very well by us and welcome back any time. He'll never buy another bevvy when there's others blues in the bar he's in. Job done.

Thanks Tim.
 
You saw that stuff about putting 17 on the corners flags as well? made me fecking cringe that did. maybe we should retire the number 17 as well hey?

Let's rename Goodison 'The Cahill Arena'. Bill can put on a Broadway show 'The legend of Tim Cahill', Lloyd-Webber can audition hopeful 'Cahills' on Saturday night prime time TV.
