We should have lost because we didn't play well but I don't think the goal should have stould. There was a second striker who was in an offside position, Torres was onside. Although the second striker did not touch the ball, he was interferring with play as three everton players ran to him leaving a bit more space for Torres.

They are worth more now than they were if you kept the original packaging !

I remember watching Live and Kicking years ago and they said they were going to have an under water roller coaster (in a tube) where you fly past sharks.. I fell for it but I was about 9 at the time!

Alan Nixon in today's mirror wrote how a shared stadium is beneficial to both clubs and how Kenwright must have cringed yesterday hearing Liverpool supporters singing "Your not scousers anymore".. Nixon's leaked Everton news in the past; such as Rooney to Man Utd and Beattie to Sheffield United Maybe it's another one of those times?

http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Foo...ent-on-status-/ Everton star Mikel Arteta's agent is convinced the midfielder would be a regular for Spain if he was playing for one of the top four sides. The former Paris Saint Germain and Rangers midfielder has settled well in England after a yo-yo start to his career. The Spaniard is playing his fourth season for The Toffees and his representative feels he is deserving of international recognmition. "He is one of Everton's shining stars and one of the highest rated players in The Premier League," Ibanez told Diario Vasco. "Mikel Arteta deserves better. Let me explain you why. If he was playing for one of the best four clubs in England or Spain he would be an international under Luis Aragones. "I am not exaggerating anything."

Ok.. Scallies are also known as Chavs/Neddies depending where you are from.. Courts Kids are a collection of 12-16yr olds who hang around the Magistrates courts in Liverpool (usually goth/emo/punk hardcore kids) smoking weed and downing occasional pill. The incident wasn't that local, it was in Lancashire, a guy was getting battered by the scallies and victims girlfriend tried to defend him but she received head injuries and went into a coma, never to wake up. I beleive that the victims representative tried or is trying to class it as a hate crime (as the catalyst for the fight was for someone had a different fasion/music taste),

The away fans would have a field day knowing there is a Felony in a scouse team !

I was sickened to hear that a girl had been killed because she dressed gothic. Even more so when I found out that the murders parents had been laughing about it! I suppose something like this was always going to be inevitable when you see the clashes in town between scals and the 'courts kids'. There are some sick people out there. On a lighter note, I found this on her tribute site and it made me laugh.

Apparently Phil Neville was spat at three times during the course of the game by Liverpool fans.

I was right, unfortunately!

As good as lost, we've only got one fit striker in the Yak and Neville and Carsley are the central pairing in midfield.

I've been playing Super Mario World on SNES recently and I have to say it's just as good as I remember it, a truly fantastic game.

Actually, I think Derek McGovern only got the job because of his brother?

I can't see Andy Hunter wanting to destabalise the club seeing as he is an Evertonian! I think it's just it's a window of opportunity with it being derby week to write about the club and he's used it to highlight the boards inadequacies.

Moyes and Everton have more at stake than victory Three points at Anfield would be a start in quelling uncertainty over manager's future Andy Hunter Saturday March 29, 2008 The Guardian Everton's challenge has diminished of late but the reward for them if they qualify for the Champions League has risen above financial gain. It might well be the prize that dispels any uncertainty about David Moyes's future as manager. The 207th Merseyside derby will be laden with consequence tomorrow. Moyes, despite protestations to the contrary in the past, is not a plucky underdog with nothing to lose at Anfield. The Everton manager is yet to taste victory across Stanley Park and must end that barren six-year sequence just to regain a one-point initiative over Liverpool in their scrap for the final Champions League berth. Defeat would effectively kill that parochial competition, though, leaving Everton six games - including Arsenal away and Chelsea at home - to overturn a five-point deficit. Of greater consequence for the club would be Moyes coming to share the belief that he has struck a glass ceiling in terms of achievement and possibilities at Goodison Park - an open debate which he himself has fuelled. He has asked to see the colour of Everton's money before extending a contract which has only 12 months remaining beyond this summer. Such a request is to be expected of a fiercely ambitious manager who has transformed the age, value and ambitions of Everton's squad since 2002 and it is not born of avarice, given that the Glaswegian is talking transfer funds and not an exorbitant increase in his salary. He has not threatened to quit if Bill Kenwright, the chairman who has broken the club's transfer record every year for the past three seasons, comes up short and only last week he assured supporters that "the ideal scenario would be to sign a new contract and stay". Yet the ideal scenario is as complicated as the impending challenge of winning at Anfield. There are three avenues open to Everton to provide their manager with the funds to sustain Champions League challenges and to stay ahead of the emerging, wealthier pack of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Portsmouth: a new stadium, new investment, and a place in European football's premier competition, where Moyes's only real influence lies. "It is hypothetical at the moment but there is no doubt it would have a major impact on the club financially if we were to qualify for the Champions League," the Scot said yesterday. "It would certainly help in terms of attracting investors if we finished fourth for the second time in four seasons. Liverpool have much better finances than us but are only two points ahead of us at the moment, so the money from the Champions League is not always the answer, but it certainly helps." Since a pulsating night against Fiorentina in the Uefa Cup ended in defeat on penalties, Moyes's men have produced two tired performances and dropped five points against Fulham and West Ham. The loss of Tim Cahill for the rest of the season with an aggravated metatarsal injury was a further setback this week. The other potential revenue streams for Everton are equally uncertain. Plans to relocate beyond the city's boundaries to a new 53,000-seat stadium in Kirkby continue to attract fierce opposition. Tesco's huge retail development in the town - with the stadium as the centrepiece - goes before Knowsley council's planning department in May and Everton, who have committed £80m to the £400m scheme, may have to pull out if the project is called in by the government. Attempts to raise at least £8m towards stadium costs through the sale of their former training ground stalled recently when a planning application to build 74 executive homes on the site was rejected. The protest group Keep Everton In Our City has criticised Everton for lacking a plan B if the Kirkby project collapses, and Kenwright's hopes of attracting investors to the club will be hindered without a new, cost-effective stadium to throw into the package. All of which will not inflate Moyes's transfer budget in the summer, of course, although the evidence of progress - or otherwise - will have an influence when the manager asks the board to outline its long-term ambitions. "Challenging for fourth place again is a sign of Everton's progress," added Moyes. "We are in the mix again and we want to keep fighting to get fourth place. We are looked at in a different light now and there are signs Everton are moving in the right direction. We need to keep getting closer to the top teams if we can and we have been edging closer year in, year out." Even if all three financial options are closed by the end of the season, Moyes has not ruled out extending his contract. Prudence is, after all, what has helped improve a dire financial situation at Goodison and forged the manager's reputation for progress and astute signings. There is also the pertinent question of where the Scot could go next if the £10m-rated players he craves are not forthcoming. Newcastle United were said to be interested before opting for Kevin Keegan but although they are better resourced they do not have Everton's stability. Tottenham? Door shut. Celtic? Possibly. The top four are an elite for whom success on the continent is an entry requirement, unless Manchester United opt for another competitive Glaswegian when Sir Alex Ferguson retires. It would secure Moyes a place in the Everton annals were he to join that company without saying goodbye. Guardian

The stakes will be high enough at Anfield tomorrow, but there is a case for arguing that Everton's most critical fixture is another couple of months away. Never mind squaring up to Liverpool for a place in the Champions League, David Moyes' meeting with Bill Kenwright could determine Everton's European prospects for years to come. Contract talks have been pencilled in for the end of the season and their significance to Everton's future began to emerge as Moyes provided Sportsmail with a broad outline of his demands and made it clear that settling his personal terms may prove the least of Kenwright's worries. There is unfinished business this season to attend to first, with the 207th Merseyside derby likely to decide whether the Champions League or UEFA Cup awaits. Should it be the latter, don't try telling Moyes it would be a decent enough return for a club of Everton's means. Although his impact has been far reaching in the six years since he replaced Walter Smith, the real revolution is just about to begin — if Moyes has anything to do with it. 'If we can finish fourth, I believe we will get through to the group stages in the Champions League and do well,' he said. 'After winning eight and drawing one of our 10 European games this season, I feel we are now ready to step up. We are suited for that level of competition and it shows how far we have come. 'After about a year in the job, I looked round and just felt I had an unbelievable task on my hands turning things round here, so the progress we have made since is about as much as I could have hoped for. 'We have had lots of plaudits for our performances in Europe, particularly the way we came back from 2-0 down against Fiorentina and took it to penalties. But it meant nothing. If you don't go on and win something, you are falling short.' He added: 'I don't want to be known for near misses. When I took over, we were a club settling for avoiding relegation and that had to change. Now, there is a danger we are starting to settle for being glorious failures and I'm not having that, either. 'We have got to be more ruthless and make sure we don't lose to Fiorentina in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup or Chelsea in the semifinal of the Carling Cup. 'It is a mental thing and changing it is part of the next challenge. There is another five or six year plan ready to be implemented but this one is going to be a lot more expansive. 'When I signed my first contract, I explained the points that needed taking up. Bill went along with them and we are now much closer to being a Champions League team. But I am looking to kick on now. 'The future, as I see it, is being with a club who match my ambition and that means keeping our best players and adding even better ones. 'When you look at the cups, this is the first season we have had any joy in any of them. We need to be in semi-finals and finals regularly, just as we need to be competing at the top in the League, year-in year-out. 'Whichever way you look at it, it all comes down to money. Whether we move to a new ground or redevelop Goodison, we have to be able to generate enough income to keep adding to the squad. 'I want other players to look at Everton and see a vibrant up-andcoming young team. The likes of Mikel Arteta, Tim Cahill, Andy Johnson, Joleon Lescott and Phil Jagielka have all committed themselves to long-term deals, and I want them to be saying: “Boy, oh boy, there is some future here”. 'I owe it to them to bring in more players who can keep the improvement going. 'I don't foresee any problems and I know Bill will give me every penny he has. Like any manager, though, I am going to ask for more.' If the pressure is on Kenwright, he has already shown he can hold his nerve. 'Bill is a brilliant guy, a real enthusiast,' said Moyes, speaking at the Arncliffe Sports and Community Centre in Merseyside, opened as part of the Barclays Spaces for Sports programme. 'When we played West Ham away twice in December, we stayed down there and he took us all out to the casino one night. Ended up winning money for all of us. 'He actually played on our behalf and turned out to be pretty useful. You could tell from his face that winning for us meant more than anything he won for himself. 'That's Bill. He's incredibly generous and not just with money. He always wants to help people. Others don't always see that kindness. He won't thank me for saying it but the way he gives people opportunities in life is incredible.' The kindness extends far beyond his staff and players. 'People will contact him and say someone in their family wants to go into acting and he will always do his best to help,' said Moyes. 'Someone in football who I won't name got in touch about his daughter and she now works in one of his shows. She wanted to work in the theatre and he made it happen. 'There are some who think a manager and chairman shouldn't be so close but it has to be a good thing. We get on great but it is a working relationship. 'If things were going badly, he would be the first to say: “Sorry, it's just not happening”. He has had criticism and so have I. We have both had our low days but we have come through it. 'We are moving in the right direction but I still want answers on what the plans are for the next few years. I want to be able to see that there is something there, firm evidence that I can take Everton to where they should be.' Moyes had to deal with setbacks in the early part of the season, especially when his mother died. 'It was a difficult time and it hurt me a lot,' he said. 'I had to take her to hospital in the early hours one night and she never recovered. 'I had brought her down from Scotland with my dad a couple of years earlier and she was always such a great supporter of me and the team. 'She went to all the games at Goodison and even travelled to the pre-season friendlies in Ireland. She always really enjoyed her day out at Everton and I have to say she got treated great by everyone. They were really good hosts every time and I will always be grateful for that. 'It took me a while to get over it but my mum was tough and would have wanted me to get on with things. I had a lot of support from the players as well at the time. That was something I really appreciated.' On a professional level, he felt the loss of assistant manager Alan Irvine, who took over at Preston. 'It was disappointing seeing Alan go, too, because he was a good man as well as a good assistant manager. I will make an appointment in the summer and it may be more than one. I'll just have to add that to the list for when I see Bill.' The Arncliffe Sports Centre in Halewood has benefited from a £60,000 grant provided by Barclays and the Football Foundation.

Colin Murray - I don't like his voice :\ I don't like Alan Green or Mike Parry

I've watched a youtube video on him and he's an oddball.... up there with Tommy G! LSP8CJZyTEo When he's fouled he blew a kiss to the guy who fouled him, at a corner the keeper put his arms around him, KK moved the keepers hands up to hold his chest..

w62cwUGL32c Baines' free kick vs. Man Utd

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtm....xml&page=2

He was mates with Arteta from his days at PSG so stranger things have happened Although saying that he's not a David Moyes player imo and the wages will be astronomical.

His free kick against Fiorentina was excellent, Frey's save was better unfortunately.

I'm going to presume he will play.
