This article marks something of an epoch for The H List, being published as it is from the southern hemisphere.

In a frankly ridiculous bid for increased market share, Headhammer Shark and I have taken the bewilderingly radical approach of posting one author to Australia and it was I who took one for the team, typing as I am in shorts, t-shirt and 30-degree heat.

If there is one thing about supporting an "Other-16" club in the English Premier League that really makes life painful, it's when your club develops a truly great young player and the "Big 4" vultures start circling trying to take him away. In the case of Everton it's a familiar feeling and one in which all the financial windfalls don't ease the frustration. Click to continue reading...

Let the bidding war begin.

Outlets across the board reported Saturday that Chelsea have launched a preliminary bid for Everton kiddie Jack Rodwell. The number I'm seeing and I'm rolling with the Independent on this is £14 million.

Wow. Of course, it was rejected by David Moyes & Co. who value Rodwell at £20m. Hmm, a hefty sum that.

Everton will be looking to reverse their downward spiral on Saturday when they host Aston Villa at Goodison Park. For me, this is that match of the week as we will watch two normally exciting clubs battle to move up the table. Aston Villa will be looking to keep up with the title chase, while Everton will be looking to move back to the part of the table they are a lot more accustomed to.

Jozy, less tweeting, more football.

It was a weekend with mixed results for the Americans who apply their trade in the Premier League. All U.S. players who saw action or are on current rosters were only able to manage a point with their respected sides.

Everton boss David Moyes has praised his Everton side ahead of their tricky away trip to Portugal to square off against Benfica in the Europa League. Everton are missing ten players for the trip, but Moyes is confident the Toffees have the quality to cope.

Everton knew that they would be without the injured Steven Pienaar, Phil Neville, Phil Jagielka, Mikel Arteta, James Vaughan, and Victor Anichebe.

David Moyes had his work cut out for him last season as number of key players were out with injuries but he, nevertheless, led Everton to the fifth place in the Premier League thanks to the great finish of the season. However, this season hasn't had the best of starts for the Toffees even though the boss now has much bigger squad to choose from and it seems that top half finish is the best they can do this term.

Yes, that's right I said it. I honestly don't believe that Joleon Lescott is actually very good at all. The fact that Manchester City fought so long and hard for the Everton man must have had any sane Blues fan wondering what the hell was going on.

It was a cool and rainy weekend where I live, which set the tone nicely for watching a lot of Premier League football. Not that I need an excuse to watch matches, but when there is no reason to go outside, it just makes it that much easier to bunker down and ignore the world.

If it's lonely at the top, you wouldn't guess it by watching Chelsea run rampant through the Premier League in the early stages of the 2009-2010 campaign.

With a perfect 18 points in six matches and a +12 goal difference to boot, the Blues aren't letting their recent transfer ban get in the way of a rapid start.

This time its an Everton centre back who is target of vicious raid!

Everton defender Phil Jagielka was held at knifepoint and forced to hand over jewellery in a raid on his Cheshire home. It is suspected the daft robbers struck at 8pm last night because they thought the player would be on Carling Cup duty against Hull, but they were not up-to-date with their team news.

Everton have started off quite slow in the Premier League, but apparently the Europa League is a whole different ballgame. Steven Pienaar and the rest of the squad kicked off their Europa League campaign with an opening match against AEK. One would think that Everton might get off to a slow start given the immense pressure of being in such a prestigious tournament, but I guess they missed that memo.

Makes sense.

Everton centre-back Sylvain Distin has revealed that he made the decision to join the Toffees when he left Portsmouth in the summer because he felt that he was more likely to play regular football under David Moyes at Goodison Park.

There was apparently a possibility that the Frenchman could have moved to Everton's Merseyside rivals Liverpool or down the other end of the East Lancs Road to Manchester City, but he thought that the likelihood of being back-up to other players in the first-team was far too high.

A pair of extremely good value signings.

Tim Cahill & Mikel Arteta may well be the best bargain signings that the Toffees have ever made but David Moyes seldom gets the credit for these two bargain signings that together cost a bargain £3.

Dutch international right back, Johnny Heitinga, has accepted a transfer from Atletico Madrid to Everton, completing a physical just under the transfer window deadline which closed at 5pm yesterday.

French defender Sylvain Distin has completed his move from Portsmouth to Everton. The 31-year old has agreed to a 3-year deal with the Toffees and will take the place of the departed Joleon Lescott. Once Phil Jagielka returns, the signing will give the club some much needed depth on the back line. Click to continue reading...

The big clubs have been relatively quiet recently, but it looks like things are picking up on that front as the end of the summer transfer season edges nearer.

Another long-running transfer saga has bitten the dust, as Wesley Sneijder's future has been resolved, and though it may not be the ending that he wanted in the beginning, it's the one that works out best for him.

Good deal for David Moyes

Everton have secured the signing of Sylvain Distin for an undisclosed fee, subject to the French central defender passing a medical.

Both the Toffees and Aston Villa had been in the race to sign Distin, but after Villa agreed a fee with Manchester City for fellow centre-back Richard Dunne earlier on Thursday, Everton took the box seat.
