What will we say on Friday ?
Comments (33)
I just read that Pienaar is fit to play tomorrow. Good news for optimists but it means we now have everybody fit so WHEN we are eliminated tomorrow night what excuse will we have come Friday ? Oh we're missing Shandy Andy and Nyarko is still probably under contract to us and is just on loan somewhere so once we get those guys back.......
This season is a piece of crap. It seems like we go through this every other year with Moyes and whenever we've had enough someone says "Remember Kendall was on the line in 84 bla bla
bla" Look I am not blaming Moyes and I have been telling myself that same story about 84 for the last 13 years... so let's be honest: the seasons over.

For god's sake... can't we actually just wait? Bide your time at least until we actually have a result?? Un-freekin-believable!
That?s right! Un-freekin-believable! Yes, we are out of the "mickey mouse" cup which we can?t even compete. YES, we have not beaten anyone at home and got only one point so far. YES, we have a fucking small squad. YES, we were held by Leige and now have to score and even win in Belgium. YES, YES, YES..... the season is over.
Why can?t you bide your time until we have a result?!?!! Because you have just predicted it and snatched away an article content from Toffeeweb!
But, is it the end of the world...NAAAAH....we still have next season...COYB!

Season over? Never! There’s much more fun to come - watch this space!
New players need to bed in!
Cahill and Pienaar aren’t match fit!
Arteta still has a stomach problem!
Moyes’ dithering over his contract affects team morale!
Lescott should play central defence / left back!
God there’s loads of excuses.

Oh ye of little faith!! Let?s get behind the lads - if we can?t be there in the flesh we can support them in our minds. Let?s wait and see what the outcome is when the final whistle goes. Remember, it?s not over until the fat lady sings or in this case Blue Bill!!
Well, I don?t know, Kieran has a point here - this match could go anyway, win lose or draw - anything can happen in football, "you have to have a clear strategy, policy" in the words of David Pleat! Anything could happen - and probably will including balloonists landing on the pitch, the referee breaking his leg, no one turning up because the match tickets stated KO 6:40 on 9th October ......
Pienaar is not match fit mateys, he?s had no reserve team action and his inclusion in the squad just shows how desperately thin we are in midfield!
I?m not making excuses already for tonight but I just want to make a point that people seem to choose to ignore on this site.
Hibbert and Cahill have been reintroduced to the first team without any reserve team action, so they along with Pienaar in substance are still in their pre season and not match fit! I?ve heard Moyes state recently that Arteta is still not match fit after his stomach injury, and Yobo plus Osman are suffering with repetitive strain injuries to ankle and knee respectively I believe. Vaughan and Baines are also still struggling for match fitness
When will people learn that football is not black and white, no one on here seems to entertain the idea that this lack of match fitness is a factor for our poor start!
Only Newcastle have started the season with a worse injury list than ours.
I?m convinced that when we can field 11 match fit players (we?re no where near yet in midfield) our form will improve and we?ll climb the league.
Unfortunately with this seasons injuries we?re in a similar place to Spurs last season, and on a positive note look at how they improved when their players recovered.

Come on guys,
its gettingt ridiculous, what Kieran would you be happy if we lose so you can come here and say "I told you so"
I dont know whether this is some kind of masochism, waiting your team to lose so you can go to TW and gloat about it? Whats the point supporting Everton?
Most of the contributors here are waitng Everton to slip to start berating the team, when we were winning and showing title winning form Jan-March 2008, there were days without any new contribution to TW, now we lose some games and everyone becomes so clever - " We are shit, we are useless,etc"
If you want Everton to lose so you can feel better fair and square - real Evertonian

What?s a boy to do? Only just been told that it?s an early kick off (our time) this evening. Should I watch a shower of hapless yellow clowns and buffoons blunder about getting into all manner of unbelievable scrapes..... or should I watch the Simpsons?
I think we will go out tonight - though my heart is trying to convince me we will nick it in the 90th minute and win 1-2.
Keiran - I’ve been to Pitesti, damn nice place too. Is that seriously hot chick still on reception at the Holiday Inn? Finest woman I ever did see.

My first post on what promises to be a memorable day for Everton. Not surprisingly, I do not share the total negativity of this thread as I am sure we are more than capable of ?bringing home the bacon?. Contrary to popular opinion,we cannot attempt - or need - a gung-ho approach to this fixture and for once, Davey?s proven tactic of ?keeping it tight and hope to nick one? will meet with universal approval. Therefore, I suspect that the starting line-up will show only Castillo for Fellaini as a change from Saturday with Saha ready and waiting in an emergency. Of course, if as rumoured, Pins is available we can expect him to figure at some stage.
This is a game for pragmatism in which ?going down gloriously? will have no merit or reward. But what we can be sure of is that whatever team takes the field it will be that best equipped, trained and briefed to do the job! IMWT.
COYB!
I’ll admit I’m not optimistic about tonight and lean towards pessimisim at the best of times, but at least I’m willing to wait and see what happens. Seriously, some people need to get a grip. Watch this space.
My prediction: Moyes will be a hero again by ten o’clock tonight!
Richard Dodd - ?best equipped, trained & briefed to do the job?
What's that then - " och Aye just hoof it to the Yak, any problems don?t ask me as I?m working on my contract demands with me agent."
Richard, stop posting bollocks & get back to work as the tea lady in the Everton Public relations office will you, Mr Ross is gasping for a cup of tea.
Oh and if you?re lucky your favourite Mr Kenright might pinch your bum when you bend over the filing cabinet!

Alan you could have both if we picked the following team
Replace Tim Howard with Millhouse in goal minus the glasses of course
R/B has to be Ralphy instead of Phil, twin centre halves Lenny & Carl, left back Smithers !
Midfield, Barney Grumble or AVDM, Nelson and Willie for some bite and on the left Monty Burns.
Up front Homer to replace the Yak ( same size shirt ) and Apu.
Manager has to be Mo, obvious. Assistant = Ned Flanders Okeley Dokeley
All looked over by Mayor Quimbey with a suitcase full of cash

Darren Boyce - and just exactly WHEN do you exepct us to have an injury free squad? Given the fact that our sqaud is tiny to begin with, on top of the fact that we have so many injury prone players such as Vaughan, Shandy, Cahill etc I think we will be pretty fucked.
People say Kendall in 84 was near to losing it- he hand’t been in teh job for 7 years then though.

Kevin Jones - Your ’Dream team’ has just given Kenright an idea.
If Kirkby falls through he could move us to the Walmart parking lot in Springfield !

Darren, you’ve actually seriously repeated my joke excuses! Unbelievable.
Richard Dodd is just Tony Marsh?s alter ego. He must be, he can?t be real.
Why do you even bother to say you support Everton.
What sort of support are you showing now, when you are all happy to come on here and say "we are going out" "the season is over".
We might get beat, we might Draw, we might even will. At least wait till its finished.
I am sorry but some of the people who post on here are a disgrace.

Terry you need to lighten up. I Don’t remember saying on my comment we’d lose. In fact if Barney has a good game on the wing, you could be celebrating tooooooooo
It’s the HOPE that kills ya, I’m tellin ya... Don’t let the HOPE get on top of ya... it?ll pep you up like a stiff Whiskey and then grind you into a withered wreck.
I have decided absolutely 100% to accept what ever happens. I am definitely and without doubt NOT going to get into a flap this time.
I am not going to move furniture again to contain breakages on landing shortly after the Rippling Net causes an unplanned flight from Sofa, through stratosphere and back to earth .
Que Sera Sera literally means ?Whatever? as opposed to a statement that we are going to whatever city is hosting the Cup Final this year (as long as it rhymes with Wembley) ? I am not going to let the hope get on top of me? I am not going to?..
dream of the YAK with arms folded or Tiny Tim punching a corner flag or ?..bugger it?s starting?. I can feel the flutter in the gut, I can hear the big band warming up with the start of the Z Cars theme? I have Grand Wee Team To SUPPORT running across me fevered brow?.. ?.. It?s a heart thing ? don?t matter if the head says DOOM and GLOOM and SACK THE BOARD? me heart says GET IN THERE and COYB and IMWT and BRING ME A BEER and THANK GOD I?M A TOFFEE??
Tomorrow ??? Watch this space.

By all means come on and moan if we actually lose. But let?s at least give the lads some proper support in the meantime! Cast your mind back 12 months and think about how a sickening derby defeat galvanized us then.
What I?ll be saying on Friday if we win:
Great stuff, Uefa Cup run ... can?t wait
If we lose
Shit happens, got beat by a good side. Can now concentrate on the league. Bring on the barcodes!
Try and look on the bright side or you?ll drive yourself nuts.

Kevin.... what kind of a blue do you call yourself ? No place for moleman ? Are you insane ?
Does anyone know where I can watch the game online? For free?
Richard Dodd
Why doesn?t Moyes just completely concrete the goal and then he won?t even have to pick a team containing 10 defenders? Hope to nick one indeed - fuckin? shit!

Alan, they aren’t excuses they’re valid reasons that contribute to our poor start.
Joe, I don’t expect us to ever have an injury free squad, I’m merely pointing out that our small squad is carrying many more not fully match fit and injured players than we ever did last season hence the poorer performances in comparison. Even though you’ve shot me down I still believe its a valid point.

Well here’s another valid excuse - our manager’s shit.
Kieran,
I’m sorry to say you’ve got it wrong, not all of the players are fit; Sandy van der Meyde..... now there’s a player that could make all the difference......

Stephen Stuart,
I’ve had a quicve read of the rules book and apparently it’s forbidden. Otherwise that would’ve been a good shout :-)

Well I gave in... I pulled up the armchair and told the kids to watch Poetry in Motion.... Instead I got umm I tried to explain this to a 6 year old... My head said... "the team that tries hardest wins" my heart said " we was shite" ... same thing i suppose.... ANYWAY... now that it is July 2009 I hear we are going to sign all the best players... really looking forward to.... [please fill in the blanks]..... AND BEFORE YOU SAY IT.. I have supported Everton for 42 years and never have I felt this F**k’d off with what is going on..... No Manager Decision... No Stadium Decison.... DONT TELL ME I HAVE TO WATCH A SPACE
I know what i would be saying to Arteta on friday, your not taking anymore corners you gutless shithouse. World class !! dont make me laugh, world class players do it in big games not like him, Last minute we have a corner goalie goes up and he hits low to the near post, he is totally over rated, i’d swap him for fernandez in a hearbeat.
It is well and truly over now!
