On Sunday, Chelsea will host Everton in the final round of fixtures in the 2012-13 Premier League season. An interesting caveat about the match is that both sides will likely be markedly different next season Everton manager David Moyes has already agreed to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United while Chelsea will part ways with Rafa Benitez at the end of the season.
One of the most coveted players in the Premier League, Marouane Fellaini, followed through on a promise he made earlier in the season.
The Belgian powerhouse had vowed to dye his magnificent afro silver if Everton fans raised £25,000 for the club's official charity, Everton In The Community.

This Sunday, seventh placed Liverpool will host sixth placed Everton in another installment of the Merseyside Derby. With the season winding down, not only is this match important for bragging rights, rather the match is a pivotal decider of which club will represent the English Premier League in the Europa League next season.
I don't know about you, but I really enjoyed the game last night. I know, I know, it's bad for us given that picking up only one point drags us back within range of Spurs, as well as Chelsea. But the game was a keenly contested match between two proper, competitive teams. Everything was played on the edge, and that makes for an enjoyable spectacle.

Even after the disappointing 3-0 defeat to Wigan in the F.A., Everton's season has plenty left in it. The Toffees are one of the few teams in the conversation for European football next year sitting in sixth two points behind Arsenal in fifth and six behind Tottenham in fourth with a precious game in hand on both.

Everton will host second place Manchester City at Goodison Park on Saturday. Both teams had good starts to the season, with Everton occupying a spot in the top four early on this campaign. Manchester City have consistently lagged behind league leaders and eternal rivals Manchester United.

My favorite matches of each Premier League season come down to the fight for European qualification. I find these matches have an even greater intensity than any final, including the World Cup. There is no holding back. Win and you'll have the chance to play in the exclusive Champions League. Lose and it's oftentimes a season that almost was.
We've seen Tim Howard and all he has to offer several times, but if you ever catch us complaining you have permission to take all of our Sergio away from us. Promise. Everton FC have wisely capitalised on the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon, meaning there are scores of randy women about, and put out [.
Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath put together a solid second season in Major League Soccer, his first as the team's regular starter, and while his team's season ended early, the young netminder's education continues.
MacMath is in England, where he will begin a three-week training stint with English Premier League side Everton FC, sources told SBI.
In a blow to Everton, FIFA has blocked their loan of Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe from Club Brugges. Everton,
meanwhile, are considering other options to either push the deal through and look elsewhere. Here

There were not many surprises when Arsenal confirmed their official squads for this season's
Premier League campaign, except for the inclusion of the midfielder Craig Eastmond, who featured in
Arsenal's 3-0 defeat of Everton in the U21 League on Monday. The other surprises for me are
Sebastien Squillaci and Andrei Arshavin, who everyone thought would [.
United travel to St Mary's to take on Southampton this weekend, and are 1.57 with Betfred to come
away with all three points. They have won on their last four visits in all competitions, and having
got back on track with a 3-2 win over Fulham following their opening game defeat at the hands
of Everton and in reality should prove far too strong for The Saints.
It won't go down as the most memorable of Premier League Saturday's but it was certainly

There was always something that left an uneasy feeling in the pit of the stomach about the post-Olympic craze for slating 'football' for its attitudes and behaviour, and there is still discomfort whenever anyone starts to discuss 'decency' with regard to the moral vacuum that is a professional sport-cum-business.

Given the evidence of the first 3 games, where do you think we will finish in the league this
season?
Today's post is a look at our rivals, starting with the current Champions.
Manchester City
Man City have strengthened in areas which Mancini identified as weak Garcia, Rodwell, Sinclair
and Maicon arriving with the very average Savic, Johnson, De Jong and a few others leaving.

Manchester City
Man City have strengthened in areas which Mancini identified as weak Garcia, Rodwell, Sinclair

The close season is traditionally a time where clubs jettison their weak players, replacing
them with footballers with the skill to take the club one step further, whether that be to qualify
or European competition or avoid another year's relegation struggle. With that in mind I thought it
would be interesting to see which clubs decided a wholesale change would be preferable to keeping
faith with the players who toiled their way through the 2011/2012 season.
Which Premier League is the biggest spender in the last decade? You may be surprised by the
results. According to a recent survey by Deloitte, Premier League clubs have spent more than
£4.4bn on players since the transfer window was introduced...

It seems that Belgian players have taken the Premiership by storm this season, and although Eden
Hazard and Thomas Vermaelen have been extremely impressive in the first few games, neither were
quite as imperious as Marouane Fellaini when Everton beat Man United in the first game of this
campaign. The Belgium international has been steadily [.
Well it's that time of year again...Christmas. The lights and decorations get hung, the holiday traffic creates jams and the stress and rush of shopping for the perfect gifts begins. If you happen to have a lady in your life that is also an Everton fan, then you are in luck.

Craig Levein and his Scottish charges failed to secure a vital home win against Serbia on
Saturday.
Both sides huffed and puffed, but in truth they game lacked a real spark. Man City defender
Aleksandar Kolarov was key to the majority of the Serbs' good play while new Stoke man, Charlie
Adam, did his best to make things happen for the Scots.
The clash of two unbeaten teams playing attractive, attacking soccer and it was the Baggies
walking away with the full three points. Deservedly so. They were the dominant team bossing Everton
in the midfield because of the excellent Youssuf Mulumbu. And a constant threat down the flanks
through Peter Odemwingie and Liam Ridgewell.

Wit the injuries Newcastle have so far suffered this season in just a short three weeks, we may
see some experienced players playing out of position, and it's either that or bringing in some of
the talented youngsters Newcastle have at the club at the moment. Will Bigirimana keep his
place if Tiote not fit?
There was no other way to title this post. There had been around a million home fans (or so it
sounded) in full voice at the St. Mary's for 92 minutes, and yet this is the line that prevailed at
the end. There have been reservations expressed about this man's move to such a direct rival,
including on this very website, but now it doesn't seem too odd anymore (and
that's not hypocrisy.
