The summer so far may [...]

Pesky little Everton have once again had the bare faced cheek to reject a bid from Machester City for Joleon Lescott. General Hughes has signalled Lescott out as a key part of his quest for world domination. Having already claimed victory over the Gunners, Hughes was then defeated by the Roman Army as he failed [...]

Our annual will he won’t he saga has arrived, following in the feet of  Moutinho, Riquelme and Rooney, Lescott is the latest in our now traditional summer torment, and like all these sagas in the past, a sudden influx of hundreds of people in the know has infiltrated the forums with behind the scenes knowledge, [...]

Still only 38 years old and having only been in [...]

On May 30th we’ll come up against Chelsea for the third time in a cup competition in three years, only this time it feels a little different.
Chelsea vs Everton – February 8th 2006 – FA Cup 4th Round
