• 28th: Everton Reserves get walloped 3-0 at Aston Villa and slip back to sixth place in the Pontins League Premier Division. David Weir, Don Hutchison and Scott Gemmill all play for Scotland against Germany in Bremen, where the Hutch stuns the entire world with his match-winning goal. Michael Ball and Francis Jeffers were on the substitutes bench for England 1-1 draw in Hungary.
• 27th: Everton's Youth Team win the home leg of the FA Youth Cup semi-final 1-0 against West Ham United but fail 1-3 on aggregate.

• 25th: Michael Branch has been arrested for being drunk and disorderly in Matthew Street, Liverpool.
• 24th: Everton finally break free from the relegation mire by destroying rivals Charlton Athletic 4-1 in a crucial Premiership run-in match-up, and thereby chalking up a second double for the season. Kevin Campbell got another two goals, bringing his ration to more than 1 per match. The match also signals the start of Everton's live audio commentary via the Internet, courtesy of Virgin.net which was basically a disaster for most punters.
• 23rd: Joe Parkinson has been told he can finally start light training after an agonizing two-year absence.
• 21st:  Wally Smith stands up for Everton Badboy, Ollie Dacourt before the FA Disciplinary Committee on a good day, and comes away with only a £2,500 fine and a smack on the wrist, but NO BAN!!!
• 20th: Everton's Youth Team crash 0-3 in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup semi-final away at West Ham United. But Everton get some good news in the Premiership relegation scrap, with Charlton losing 1-4 to Spurs at home.
• 19th: Everton Reserves beat Nottingham Forest 5-2 at Goodison Park, with Cadamarteri bagging a hat-trick and Michael Branch straining his hamstring. Richard Dunne and Joe Parkinson are back in training after long injury layoffs.
• 17th: Everton travel to St James Park and return with a priceless 3-1 victory over Newcastle United, thanks to two goals from Kevin Campbell, a penalty save from Tommy Myhre off Alan Shearer, and a brilliant first-time volley from Scott Gemmill at the death. That's the first double of the season!
• 14th: Everton Reserves draw 0-0 at home to Blackburn Rovers. Paul Gerrard returned from his long loan spell with Oxford United to take up the Reserves goalie jersey. Gareth Farrelly also got a game after a long layoff due to injury.
• 13th: Everton want to appeal against Marco Materazzi's red card v Coventry but in FA parlance it was only a yellow card offence, so no appeal is possible.
• 12th: Major suspension trouble looms for Everton Badboys in the relegation run-in, where both Materazzi and Dacourt will miss the last three matches. Barmby and Gemmill will also miss a match each. Everton Reserves lose 2-3 at Stoke City. Everton Under-17s lose 1-2 to Watford and are knocked out of the FA Youth Academy National Playoffs
• 11th: Kevin Campbell's two goals win it for Everton against Coventry City, despite the best efforts of the referee Rob Harris to influence proceedings, booking five Everton players and sending off Marco Materazzi after Darren Huckerby dived. Ibrahima Bakayoko scored for the Ivory Coast as they beat Congo 2-0 in the African Nations Cup.
• 10th: The other also-rans down in the Premiership relegation mire – Charlton, Southampton, Notts Forest – all lost today, which  is good news for Everton.

• 8th: Everton's Youth Cup team will meet West Ham who beat Arsenal 4-0 in the replay of their drawn 6th Round tie.
• 7th: Everton Reserves lose badly 2-5 to Sunderland. Nick Barmby's booking v Liverpool was apparently his fifth of the season, although no-one, including our Everton Badboys page, lists more than four yellow cards... If correct, Barmby will miss the trip to Newcastle United on April 17.
• 6th: Everton's Under-17 team finished 4th in Group A of the FA Youth Academy Premier League, and qualify for the national playoffs.
• 5th: Just what is Walter Smith playing at? He drops Michael Ball and plays Tony Grant! Everton unsurprisingly crash 1-2 at Goodison Park to Sheffield Wednesday after Franny Jeffers scored another excellent goal. But stupid backpassess by Unsworth and Materazzi gift a precious win to The Wednesday. And a solitary goal from Graham Stuart for Charlton away at West Ham lifts the Addicks above Everton, who slide ominously into 18th position.
• 4th: Both Everton badboys Ollie Dacourt and Nick Barmby are walking the disciplinary tightrope tomorrow: Barmby has 4 yellows, Dacourt has 13.
• 3rd: Everton's 5-yr spell over neighbours Liverpool finally ends in predictable fashion with another bizarre team selection which included the useless Michael Branch, and way-too-late substitution by Walter Smith in the160th derby match. Final score: 2-3 with goals from Dacourt and Jeffers. Debuts for Gemmill and Campbell, bringing the total numbers of players used this season to 35 – an all-time club record.
