Brilliant blog post about lower league rugby

Things and stuff @ 08:21 AM EST

Saw this over at My Waterloo Rugby, hope it's the first of many posts :

So why did I fall out of love with the game? The game started to lose its mojo a few months into our second season in National Division 2 back in 2004. The sense of adventure of visiting away games ceased to exist, many of these newer club grounds we found ourselves visiting lacked charm, many purely sterile.

Eusebio on Goodison Park "Best stadium in my playing life"

Things and stuff @ 04:57 AM EST

Last night was pretty depressing but loved this quote from Eusebio

Eusebio on Goodison Park: "Sorry, I don't speak good English. But today for me, for my family, it's a good day, for Benfica to play here. This stadium for me is the best stadium in my playing life.

Everton's treatment room xi

Things and stuff @ 03:48 PM EST
Everton are depressingly beatable at the moment but ultimately it's not surprising when our treatment room xi is, apart from needing a keeper, looking fantastic. Look at the team we had missing for the weekend against Bolton
Everton Treatment Room XI - 26/10/09
Hibbert - Yobo - Jagielka - Baines
Pienaar - Arteta - Neville - Bilyaletdinov
Yakubu - Vaughan

Fame at last

Things and stuff @ 05:09 PM EST
Last weekend I phone the Danny Baker Show in order to try and save Goodison and Blundellsands (home of Everton FC and Waterloo RUFC respectively) from his totalitarian demolition crews....I was less than successfull but Hey, it was early on a Saturday morning, I didn't do too bad.

Evertonians don't forget their own

Things and stuff @ 04:31 PM EST
Just a very quick notes, a mate of mine is off to Lisbon tomorrow with T-shirt highlighting the continuing hopes we all have for the safe return of Madelaine McCann.

We also have issued a special purple 3rd kit in memorial for little Rhys Jones (and as a fund raiser for the city-wide Liverpool Unites charity).

Who were the first Liverpool FC players to play for England?

Things and stuff @ 11:44 AM EST

Interesting trivia question there "Who were the first Liverpool FC players to play for England?". It is of course a trick question because 4 players of Liverpool Football Club (as in Rugby Football) took part in the very first rugby international in 1871.

Step forward J.

Good old Tim :

Everton midfielder Tim Cahill dedicated his winning goal in the Europa League game against BATE Borisov to the victims of Tuesday's Pacific tsumani.

The Australian international mimed rowing a canoe after scoring in the second half of the match in Belarus.

The Yak is back?

Things and stuff @ 07:36 AM EST

Great to see Yakubu score last night and especially nice to see him make a beeline to Mick Rathbone (Everton's head physio) and hug him. Pretty good goal too...he just makes goal scoring look so easy.

Hull looked very poor it has to be said...very funny to see Barmby get mugged in the build-up to our 4th goal.
