David Moyes will probably have a very limited budget again this summer so we thought we would give him a hand with his transfer wish list.

The Times have followed on with the third in their series of “Greatest Players” lists with a Toffee related one, and it has some shockers. Bald goon Tommy Gravesen somehow manages to get his foot in the door, Anders Limpar and Wayne Rooney both slide in above Tim Cahill, and somehow Tony Cottee – viewed by many Evertonians as being pretty cacktastic – gets in too. Notably absent are Duncan McKenzie, Peter Beardsley, Derek Mountfield, and Paul Bracewell. Despite all these mistakes, it’s actually a pretty good list. I won’t tell you who made it to the top spot – but then again – if you’re a true Evertonian you should know anyway!?!
So what do you think of this list of Goodison Greats – good or gash?
It wasn’t the greatest of Merseyside derbies, but was very much job done as far as Rafael Benitez was concerned. Two excellent strikes from Fernando Torres ensured a deserved victory for Liverpool, while Everton continue to look shoddy defensively and now face one of their key players being suspended for the next three matches. But does he deserve to be? [Read the rest of this entry »]
Both halves of Merseyside are waking up this morning clutching an empty whisky bottle, nursing a pulsating hangover and a furry tongue, and desperately trying to remember through the fuzzy and painful memories – how exactly they blew it over the weekend.
Everton were first up on Saturday and did a brilliant job of convincing everyone that they were going to win at a canter – going one nil up against the Hammers after just over ten minutes through a classic Yakubu belter. However, Everton trailed off, let West Ham back into the game – and could have even lost with young lad Freddie Sears hitting the post for the Irons. Almost as bad as the pitiful one point haul was the fact that the Toffee’s lost Tim Cahill to an injury that could see him miss the mother of all six-pointers – the Merseyside derby.
Jump over to the Liverpool camp and they had an even more rancid weekend, getting thumped 3-0 by United will always hurt, but having Macherano sent off, and thereby suspended for the derby is pouring ridiculous amounts of salt into the wound. With the FA looking into giving the Argie even more punishment, Mascherano’s decision to go ape at the most inopportune of times, could reverberate through to the Arsenal game.
Which is the bigger loss, no Cahill, or no Mascherano.
Despite the club initially defending his actions, Everton’s Tim Cahill has apologised for his goal celebrations against Portsmouth on Sunday. After putting the Toffees into the lead for the second time, the Australian wheeled away, making a handcuffs gesture which was a tribute to his recently-jailed brother. The Guardian now reports that the player is starting to feel remorseful about his actions and didn’t want to cause any offence.
“It was a spontaneous and emotional reaction but was only intended to signify to my brother that I was thinking of him and missing him,” Cahill said today. “It was not intended to cause any offence to any other party and I wholeheartedly apologise if any offence was caused.”
Perhaps one should be forgiving of a goal celebration done in the heat of the moment, but it’s probably right that Cahill has held his hands up on this one. After all, footballers shouldn’t use the attention they get from scoring goals to make tributes to a family member who has been found guilty of a very serious offence.
The Times report that Everton are standing by Tim Cahill over Sunday’s goal celebration against Portsmouth. The midfielder appeared to make a handcuffs gesture after putting the Toffees ahead, in a tribute to his recently-jailed brother. This was not to everyone’s liking, although the club appear to have no problem with criminal relatives being sympathised with on the field of play.
An Everton spokesman defended Cahill from criticism that the celebration might be seen as inappropriate. “Goal celebrations are a personal matter and up to the player to decide – no-one dictates what the player can do as long as he stays within the laws of the game, as long as it doesn’t result in a caution,” he said.
“It clearly was a very personal thing for Tim Cahill. Anyone who saw the pictures will see he was emotional and it meant a lot to him.
“As long as he keeps getting the opportunity to score goals, that is important. Tim is a highly intelligent young man and makes his own decisions and saw fit to send a message to his brother, if that’s what he was doing.
“He is a very articulate young man and will have weighed up the pros and cons and decided to do it because it was a personal and emotional matter.
“I am sure Tim was fully aware that some people would not be in favour of what he did before he did it.”
Surely there’s more things to get upset about than how a player celebrates a goal? Or do you think footballers shouldn’t take advantage of the spotlight to promote an issue which some would find distasteful in the extreme?
