The Mail Bag

Silly Season

Wow. It really is the silly season. The latest is that we have people freaking out of a grainy photo of Alan Curbishley talking to someone with......wait for it.....dark hair!!!!! Oh shit Arteta has dark hair doesn't he? West Ham want to buy the entire Everton squad don't they? Oh crap he's gone.

Well no, he isn't. Apart from the fact that I find hard to determine who is in the photograph, I am more inclined to believe the words of the people involved. Egghead Magnusson only yesterday assured evryone that he was not trying to sign any Everton players (at this time). Arteta has frequently insisted that he is happy at Everton and that the only reason he would leave was if Everton didn't want him to stay. David Moyes is building a competitive team and I am sure that he knows the venom he would feel if Arteta were to go.

Please, for the love of god, don't freak out everyone. With no football on offer it seems that a few of us spend our time with predictions into the future. Let's just calm down until we hear something official and not get carried away with what is clearly now the silly season!!

Worst time of the year for me. Our Davey with money to spend, its like a paragraph out of Luke Rhinehart's "The Dice Man", you never know what you're going to get: A Beattie or a Mcarthy, a Krøldrup or a Lescott, you know what I mean... I hope he comes up with Snake Eyes for all our sakes.
