Before last night's final pre-season game the press were unaminous that there would be a backlash against Lescott.
I didn't go with any intention of booing him. Although like most people on this forum resigned myself for the worst and was very concerned about the implications of such a transfer... He's 2 players for the price of 1 you know!?
Lescott got a huge cheer when his name was read out and a chorus of: "There's Only One Joleon Lescott" as he changed ends before kick-off. I was by the director's box which is very close to the pitch and clearly saw him getting emotional.
I still think he wants out, but having watched Moyes' post-match interview I'm convinced he's going nowhere in this transfer window. I wonder if The S** would print that story with as much gusto?
There's clearly an adenda by the media to knock this Club down. The fact all Evertonians applauded Lescott shows again how great supporters you all are.
