Cahill: Childhood Hero
Comments (0)
Thought you might be interested in Tim Cahill's latest venture: Childhood Heroes.
As you will see he has been chosen as the first 'hero' in a series of new books aimed at inspiring children in their sporting endeavours. The book can be customised with your child's name and picture. Would make a nice birthday/Christmas present for young Evertonians... provided they don't want to play for England one day! (Check the website, all will become clear)
Says a lot about Tim's standing in Australia these days. He has been prominent on TV and radio talk shows for several weeks now and has just announced he will be fit to play for the Socceroos in the Asian Cup Finals. After such a long lay-off, it strikes me that his involvement with the tournament could actually be beneficial to his preparations for the next Premier League season, with Australia favourites to win.
Now here's some homework for the Toffeeweb team. Have you ever counted up the number of transfer rumours you publish that actually come to anything? My guess is about one in fifty. And yet for some reason we ? well a large number of us ? are still fascinated by them, which is why you publish them of course.
As for that picture of Mikel Arteta - do me a favour! I some how doubt Curbishley would be hatching a transfer deal in a hotel lounge and it looks nothing like Arteta anyway.
A final point from an Evertonian abroad -- how do you pronounce Jagielka ?

As regards those pesky rumours, I did count up a few years ago and it was one in ten, but my feeling these days is that it is almost total nonsense - this close season is worse than ever, it seems to me, so I'm going for one in a hundred... which makes our Rumour Mill 99% bullshit. And one reason we started the Rumour Mill on here years ago was to provide proof of this.
But look at the incredible amount of column inches it has generated on here alone, with all the equally ridiculous (IMHO) FM bullshit so many fans seeem to feel is interesting for others to read. Not for me...
At least it gives me a chance to get a few other things done that have nothing to do with football. I've even stopped watching Sky Sports News...

Richard, I assume it's supposed to be pronounced "Jag-eel-ka" although I've heard commentators go for "Jag-ee-el-ka".
