dose anyone know what has happened to swan haven't seen him on here for a long wile eds any idea.
{Ed025's Note - i will check tomorrow to see if he has been banned muff, without knowing his IP its hard to check..
1.) 27 Feb 2016 22:13:53
sound just wondering thought he would of said something today of all days.
2.) 27 Feb 2016 23:31:21
Swans never recovered from us winning three games in a row. Spoil this whole season😀.
3.) 27 Feb 2016 23:55:49
ive a feeling you has too much stick here and bailed.
4.) 28 Feb 2016 01:57:45
Sabbatical I think. But probably banned lol
5.) 28 Feb 2016 09:40:40
woeburnblue, don't think that is it mate and don't think Swan is a big a critic of RM as I am to be fair and I am still here. You will note of late how RM is now covering his rear, such quotes as 'even if we win the FA Cup, this season would have been a failure' coming out of him is really something. I wish and hope with all my heart that our new 49.9 investor (astute business man by all accounts) either manages a. to buy the final .2 percent and/ or b. Sees the inadequacies of our present Manager and tells Bill that in no uncertain terms.
6.) 28 Feb 2016 12:41:48
Agree Dunc mate, and I hope he gets rid of the jobs for the boys that Bill let in for his nights out.
7.) 28 Feb 2016 15:57:04
Banter Dunc just banter. Hopefully a new owner will bring a change in humour on this site.
8.) 28 Feb 2016 20:14:42
Is Ed002 swan by any chance.
{Ed025's Note - definitely not coby..
9.) 29 Feb 2016 17:18:37
Just because we have a new director, why should it make players want to stay at the club? Players like Lukaku want glory now not in 5 years and even if the new investment puts money in, success could still be years away. A team has to built, you have to have a good manager, do not carried away with what has happened.
{Ed025's Note - pissing on your own parade seems to be a trait of a lot of supporters these days milomj,a glass half empty mentality and the craving of instant success is half the problem with the game, this applies to players supporters and even directors and unless that changes we will always be one of the nearly clubs, we need to look to the future and embrace the challenge imo mate...the future is blue..
10.) 01 Mar 2016 11:22:13
Lets hop so.
05 Feb 2016 23:40:22
interesting to read jags is are best passer of the ball this season most accurate I must say, all stats from 4-4-2 mag.
1.) 06 Feb 2016 00:12:21
Passing between him and the goalie, his centre-back partner, the full-back outside him, or a defensive midfielder (usually Barry) might give Jagielka the best passing record, but they're hardly defence-splitting, chance-creating, match-winning passes.
2.) 06 Feb 2016 08:54:42
Jags is a central defender, we don't want him playing defence-splitting, chance-creating or match-winning passes!
3.) 06 Feb 2016 09:54:23
bluebrum: it'd be great if he could, but I agree that he's a defender first and foremost. My intended point was that the individual passing stats are pretty much meaningless - just as are a team's possession-percentage stats. All that really counts is that as a team we create plenty of chances and score plenty of goals AND limit the opposition's chances and don't concede goals. Results - wins and points- are surely what matter. Expansive, entertaining, imaginative, attacking football is a bonus - albeit great to watch and enjoy.
4.) 06 Feb 2016 10:19:57
Id like to see him top of any clean sheet related stats tbh.
5.) 06 Feb 2016 19:30:29
the reason I said what I said was everyone bangs on about stones's passing and that is his strong attribute well to me this speaks volumes that he hasn't brought much to the team this season no matter how you pass it its got to make your team mate to start something and players are rated by there stats and most of the time stats are included in contracts by agents so its a massive part of the game.
6.) 06 Feb 2016 23:38:23
Fair enough muff. Still fancy holding onto Stones. As I said before Stones has 10+ years. Jags ain't going to go forever.
7.) 07 Feb 2016 10:50:49
It's not how you pass it its knowing when to do it. Stones is a brilliant footballer just not getting the right tutorage. I think it would probably be in everyone's best interest if he was to move on early in the summer with as little hassle as possible. I'll wish the lad well.
8.) 07 Feb 2016 20:43:32
How about just coaching him and benefiting from his fabulous talent? What footballer was ever the finished article at 21?
9.) 07 Feb 2016 22:48:33
stones has already gone in his head nbtb he's a lost cause Galloway will step into jags shoes, we have to start players who are here for long term stones hasn't a future at everton, if he brings nothing the bench, lukaku will be gone in the summer to just hope the club are planning for the future ie next season I wouldn't mind hernandez ex man utd player there ain't much around to replace lukaku because he's that good.
10.) 08 Feb 2016 16:34:07
Jeez muff your not too positive so. I'm hoping for a brilliant end to the season. Hope to finish in top 6. It will be very tough. Might give our top lads an incentive to stay. We might not finish that well but imo we are over our low point of the season.
What's the saying, hope for the best prepare for the worst. All will be revealed in the summer.
{Ed025's Note - i like your positivity mate..
04 Feb 2016 20:54:46
what do people think about brian Oviedos comments about us not coping with been in the league cup and its distracted us from performing in the prem my first thoughts was don't we ever learn from are mistakes.
{Ed025's Note - im not having that muff, i remember peter reid i think it was saying they loved playing more games as they cut back on the training mate..that makes sense to me..
1.) 04 Feb 2016 21:25:22
Can't help thinking though Ed025 that Oviedo's comments maybe somewhat influenced by his injury history. As an addendum I believe Oviedo to be one of our better players. I would play Oviedo at LWB with either Baines or Garbutt behind him.
{Ed025's Note - then he should have really stated that his opinion was based on that rather than incriminating the rest of the squad for me DM..
2.) 04 Feb 2016 21:39:46
spot on ed025 me thinks what he says is a lack of mentality and shows Martinez isn't drumming it into them just think bobby is a weak manager and far to soft, his comment of we showed a true team performance of game management made me laugh its one game try winning two or three on the trot then say that, its as if one win is enough he just duznt keep the team on there toes enough for me and let's them slack off which brings in the inconsistency so so frustrateing, I wonder if he's ever bollocked them, I doubt it.
{Ed025's Note - i think thats why the catterick,s, fergusons,s and shankley,s of this world were so successful muff, they took no nonsense mate..
3.) 04 Feb 2016 21:46:15
Fair enough. He wouldn't say it but I would and just perhaps it has something to do with the numpty we are stuck with. Up to 11th now (progress) .
4.) 04 Feb 2016 22:01:02
even kendall had his moments, brian clough was a master of keeping his players on there toes, dunc agree think Oviedo is a very good player prob would of taken baines spot if he stayed away from injury it prob would work him in front of baines, I believe a lot of of the prob with injury prone players is there mentality there mentally weak dyer, anderton, sturriage, carrol ect.
5.) 04 Feb 2016 22:23:47
Have other thoughts as well. Stones is currently a lesser version of Beckenbauer, a libero, the guy that mops up and brings the ball out, letting other players do the nasty stuff. He either has to sit as last man or in Barry's position.
{Ed025's Note - i think that could be half of the problem DM, he sees himself as a good footballer(which i believe he is) and maybe he aspires to being a midfielder rather than a defender, i personally dont think hes good enough to play CM..but what do i know?..
6.) 04 Feb 2016 23:26:29
I can see him been a lothar mattheus type of player protecting the back 4 and spraying balls around keeping the flow of the game going (stones) that way he duznt have that much responsibility defencively as yes I think he's great at playing the ball but for such a highly ratted player he's useless in the air.
7.) 04 Feb 2016 23:44:29
I agree he's useless in the air. But I think he's miles off being a Lothar Mattheus. He's too tall to be a defensive mid and would give the ball away too much. It seems he thinks of himself too highly and if he's not prepared to get rid when he needs to then we should cash in. It was a breath of fresh air seeing Mori and Jagielka putting their foot through it when needed like a proper CB.
8.) 05 Feb 2016 00:18:34
I think we're all being a bit too hard on the fella. Can all us think back to when we were 21? Any young man would do well not to let it get to his head. This is Stones proper first full season as a first choice player.
I think we have a lot to learn about him yet. I also think he has a lot to learn. Hope he accomplishes his potential.
To me he handled everything up until recently very professionaly for such a young player. The team was at its lowest since last season before the Newcastle game. You could see a lot of players getting annoyed with the way things were going. Not just Stones.
All these people mad to sell him at the first sign of difficulties make me laugh. He's young and needs to develop to the player we all expect and want him to be.
So I say stand by him and encourage him because as I said he's still very young and like any footballer at 21 needs to be developed and helped in any way possible.
Not sold off so some other team can gain from the exceptional talent that we all know he will become.
9.) 05 Feb 2016 01:36:19
I think he's possibly the best defender in the league but he needs to learn to do the simple things and combine that with his skill. I'd love for him to stay with us his whole career NBTB but don't think he wants to be here, that's the only reason I'm suggesting cashing in. I think it's more important to keep Rom because would be hard to replace him with a striker of a similar caliber. Centre halves can be replaced, just look at other defences in the league with supposedly average defenders but conceding few goals when working as a unit.
10.) 05 Feb 2016 02:27:14
I do agree OllBlue1878 if he really wants to go he'll never reach his full potential until he's completely happy with where he's playing.
Your right other defence are conceding less goals with average players which is down to coaching. Look at Moyes defence one of the best in premiership and never had a player with Stones potential.
This is really what I'm getting at, if Stones leaves he's going to go to most likely Man City or a club challenging for numerous trophies every year.
I'm sick of us selling our best players to these teams. We are never going to win anything by continually doing that.
As annoyed with Martinez as I am like most of us, I admire what my reading into what he's trying to do and achieve.
Imo he's trying to hold onto our best players who are mostly young and will get better with age. Add in more youngsters to have a confer belt of talented players coming through along with looking for value in the market for established players.
It's the only way currently I can envisage us ever returning to winning ways. If anyone has any better ideas about getting a winning team together I'd be more than glad to hear them.
Apart from a sugar daddy coming in and every year saying to the manager there's £200m get some players. I can't see any other way only the way I mentioned above or the second way with the sugar daddy. Personally I'd like to see an Arsenal type approach to the future of the club. Very shrewd and realistic in my view. In Wenger they got not only a top manager but an equally brilliant business man who had very good vision for the future of their football club.
It infuriates me that Martinez only downfall really is defence. If he got that right I think it would be fantastic. He may get it right yet. I said I'd make proper judgment on him at the end of the season. At the moment I think he's still learning himself how to set up the defence. I hope he keeps improving in that regard. Because if he does we may be onto something.
If not hopefully the next manager can take us to the next level. Who knows, there just might be a Wenger out there for Everton that has a long term vision of how to bring the club forward successfully.
11.) 05 Feb 2016 08:34:17
When I was 21 NBTB, I had already been in the Military 6 years and half way through my second overseas tour. It is called growing up fast, never going to happen to most of these lads today because they are pampered to much.
12.) 05 Feb 2016 13:02:06
I know DM how times change. The hype and pressure is totally different today than it was 20 - 30 years ago. The media responsible for a lot of it.
13.) 05 Feb 2016 19:14:08
nbtb why have you got to mention moyes in nearly every post you sent you really need to get over him mate and forget him hahaha or are you his love child.
14.) 05 Feb 2016 20:26:34
Yea I'm his love child muff. Don't mention him in every post. I actually haven't mentioned him much as of late. Only when replying to discussions about him. Haven't started a thread about him in months.
Think Degsypulford has mentioned him a lot more as of late. Just ask Degsy or Ed. I'm sure they'll clarify what I'm after saying. I'd say I've mentioned him bout 5% of my post in last month.
Think your a bit behind the times yourself muff.
15.) 05 Feb 2016 20:38:16
Muff just for you I checked my profile and the last threads I've commented. Seeing that I haven't much else to be doing at the moment 😊
In all 20, that's 5 banter and 5 rumour posts. Also in last 5 banter replies and last 5 rumours replies I've mentioned that man once in above thread. By the way DM in last comment is for duncansmum.
No harm done, eh.
{Ed025's Note - dont take things to heart NBTB, im sure muff was only yanking your chain mate..it happens a lot on here.. :)
16.) 05 Feb 2016 20:59:24
I know Ed025. Don't like taking crap though. I know, no hard feelings. Just wanted to clear it up. Forget about it now.

{Ed025's Note - water off a ducks back mate..thats the ticket..
17.) 05 Feb 2016 21:09:03
Ed25 I think nb is just biting back I think although muff probably wernt being malicious I have noticed over the past couple of weeks certain posters keep disregarding anything nb says and to be fair the guy never really looks for disagreements when he does disagree he does it rather rashionally and in a polite manner every post he puts up is hard to not agree with him there is the odd one of corse as we all have different opinions the guy obviously love the blues and we're all supposed to be brothers man.
Anyways I'm off for me dart match got a 5 leg quarter final at 10 o'clock me nerves are shot to bits it's been 4 yrs since I got this far. Wish me luck.
{Ed025's Note - nbtb is sound liam and a very good poster, the good thing with our lot is that we can take the mick without it becoming personal, ....good look with the darts mate when the athletes enter the arena.. :)
18.) 05 Feb 2016 21:27:56
ooooops touched a nerve ha soz I did say most post, no harm intended :-)
19.) 05 Feb 2016 22:54:18
No problem muff. It's all banter here I suppose. I prob offend some without realising it or intending to either.
Best of luck tonight Blueliam. 4 years eh, you never know this might be the year you break your barren run. Hopefully the same year as the Blues. Still have the FA cup to aim for.

whats with all the put the under21 out in the derby, we will get are first win there since 1999 with this team robles, oviado, stones, mori, galloway barry , mirallas, geri, lennon, lukaku, niasse then in the semi robles, baines, jags, mori, colman, besic, mcarthy, lennon, clev, lukaku, barkely and we will win both games this team is going to grow of age in next few weeks.
1.) 15 Mar 2016 19:45:36
Not bad thinking muff. I like the plan ðŸ‘.
2.) 15 Mar 2016 21:04:22
It'll be interesting to see when the WHUvMUFC replay will be scheduled.
Unless it's an early kickoff on a CL/ EL day (like the HullvArsenal replay) - or on a Monday (48 hours after their other Saturday fixtures) - then it would probably have to be the same midweek as our derby. If the latter, then extra-time, penalties, yellow/ red cards, injuries, tiredness, etc., for them would not upset us too much!
3.) 15 Mar 2016 21:31:26
how ever way you look at it, we all have the same probs and from now till then will bring problems ect its all down to who performs and want it moor plus luck it all bodes well for a good end to the season just got a felling west ham are due a blip, utd ain't what they use to be, and we are due a run of form there so many factors to get in the way we just need to take each game as it comes and not over think it.
4.) 15 Mar 2016 21:32:07
West Ham and utd both have games on the Wednesday as well.
5.) 15 Mar 2016 21:51:15
I know west ham play Watford and utd play palace haha so we all play.
{Ed002's Note - But it didn't stop you all embarrassing yourselves.}
6.) 15 Mar 2016 21:58:32
? all embarrassing ourselves don't get what you mean ed02.
{Ed002's Note - The constant bleating and whining is embarrassing. Surely you are bright enough to figure that out? Perhaps not.}
7.) 16 Mar 2016 08:05:12
I understand the game had to be rearranged and as for ED02 saying we are crying about it there is a massive difference between playing palace or watford and us playing our dirty local rivals at anulfield then a semi final at the weekend I think the players will cope and RM will make changes but once again the FA haven't exactly helped us out have they.
{Ed002's Note - Yes, it is a conspiracy against Everton. First it was only Everton being made to play a game that week, but now it turns out all of the clubs have a game that week and the whining changes to the game being too hard for Everton.
What will happen if the club gets in to Europe next season? I suppose you will all be cheered up by having even more games to complain about.
It is pitiful reading.}
8.) 16 Mar 2016 08:09:45
I think somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed!
{Ed002's Note - Perhaps you don't see how embarrassing it is to have to read all of the whimpering by the Everton supporters? This constant looking for excuses before anything happens is completely hopeless.
I assume this is to do with the City of Liverpool, as the supporters from the other side of Stanley Park do nothing but bellyache most of the time as well.}
9.) 16 Mar 2016 11:17:37
"All" the Everton supporters, Ed? Hardly. Don't let the loud minority fool you.
{Ed002's Note - Try not to be a complete jerk. It too is embarrassing.}
10.) 16 Mar 2016 23:44:19
To be fair ed002 you've done more moaning on here that the whole of these websites put together. Maybe you should stick to being a fan like us and leave the editing to the professionals.
{Ed002's Note - All I have done is commented on is the hopeless whining little bitches that many of the Everton fans are. The griping about the re-arranged game were completely laughable and extremely embarrassing. It is clear that the absolute worst thing for the fans would be the success of getting in to Europe with all of the additional games that would bring - tiring out the poor little Everton players. Previously I of course explained about the new investor in the club as the Everton fans are seemingly not bright enough to understand matters like that on their own. I am not sure which "professional" editors you are referring to. You should considered yourselves fortunate that I have answered questions about transfers for you.
I have no idea why you wish to drag this thread out even longer as I have no doubts that fans of other clubs are amused by quite how embarrassing this is for the Everton fans.}
14 Mar 2016 19:35:16
bring either of them on man utd or west ham we will beat them and as I said in jan everton v Watford final.
1.) 14 Mar 2016 20:37:52
Just what I hoped for muff 84 repeat mancs don't stand a chance lakaku will scare them to death as West Ham United it was a one off we will show them how to play football.
12 Mar 2016 06:15:55
todays game is vital for both teams who ever loses there season is over, I personally think Chelsea aren't use to this situation and it will suite everton better, plus I can't see us losing 3 home games on the bounce and revenge is on the cards please please can we turn up at goodison for once this season won't be easy and every player needs to treat this game as it should be and need to show us how much they want it, will the suffering we have endured we deserve a break. C. O. Y. B give my 7 year old son something to cement his love for you.
07 Mar 2016 06:51:54
now on the team over all, sats game was another indication that everton players aren't mentally up to seen out games even with ten men the crumble and panick all season this has happened, I wasn't expecting much from sat game as west ham are a very good team, for 35mins we were the better team then came the sending off then half time rally, second half we go two up from the brilliant lennon what a player he has been but what duz Martinez do sub him best and hardest working player on the pitch just as in west brom game Martinez stubborn as ever makes the same mistake bang west ham score 78th min we crumble this all stems from the managers attitude and back room staff why the players are so week mentally imagine if lukaku wasn't there we would playing these games with the same weak minds and no way avoiding the inevitable, plus all season we have been losing players to the same hamstring injury's at key time now that's down to the training methods and we ain't learning from them again in my opinion there has to be drastic changes in the summer surely kenwright feels the same as us he made the right call on walter smith he was close to him and am sure he will come the summer, I didn't mention pen because even the worlds best players miss them and I genuine believe it would of ended 3-3 even if we went 3-0 up we need a strong tactical manager who will take this club by the scruff of the neck and make them feared in the prem, plus let's face it only reason robles is in goal is because of fan pressure, plus sat proves its the manager and the back room staff were the faults lie.
07 Mar 2016 06:30:29
why are supporters still backing mirallas he's a liability if he's not injured he's not playing well if he's not playing well he's getting sent off, sat game was final straw for me the man brings nothing to the team at all he plays a couple of good games been saying for last few months his attitude stinks and commitment to the team shocking, supporters on he been screaming for him to be played and that's what he brings to the team no pro footballer should make that kind of challenge when on a yellow card, he was a key factor in us losing that game sat and in my opinion he should never be played in first team again.
15 Mar 2016 23:33:56
unfortunately people will buy them.
14 Mar 2016 22:30:15
perfect place I think is the land at side of switch island end of m57 and m58 plus great access to southport link with broomcross road plus a short railway line could be added from ormskirk line towards old roan station direct to the stadium massive land there.
27 Feb 2016 22:13:53
sound just wondering thought he would of said something today of all days.
08 Feb 2016 14:55:20
greatest player I've ever seen in a royal blue shirt pure world class big nev won us the league in 85 that's how good he waswas player of the year to, if he were English he would of been spoken of more highly and defo was the worlds best at the time, if he was fit in 86 we would of done the double and not them, even back then we didn't have the luck, he broke his leg in a international for wales that cost us the league and fa cup am not blaming bobby mimms but just for been in goal would of been a massive diffrance big nev been fit.
08 Feb 2016 12:21:50
robles can be are no1 he deserves the chance 8 clean sheets in 10 appearances he is very capable, begervic wants away from Chelsea but he wants first team football we just need to find a no2 i. m. o.
23 Mar 2016 16:50:45
its well documented that that's the plan murf once moshi gets his 1 more % he needs to be majority holder usmanov will jump arsenals ship and join moshi at everton, its believed the rest of the share holders welcome this to but it can't happen just yet wile moshi duznt have the final say, well that's what am led to believe how true it is I havnt a clue how it all works.
{Ed002's Note - I am sorry but that is simply not true.}
22 Mar 2016 16:24:38
totally agree jay but what I will say in his defence is he's broken his leg 3 times which is why he prob duznt do the dirty work.
