Hull City vs West Ham United: Match Preview - 21/11/2009

The H List 19 November @ 11:58 PM EST

1. Ain't No Mountain High Enough

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.

Jack Rodwell and the EPL Buy and Stash

Ginge Talks The Footy 16 November @ 10:13 AM EST
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...

The Offside - Chelsea 15 November @ 08:12 PM EST

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.

Match Preview: Everton v Aston Villa

Premiership Talk Blog 30 October @ 08:00 AM EST

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.

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

Everton should focus on Europa League

Soccer Pie 20 October @ 04:55 AM EST

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.

The Weekend That Was

Ginge Talks The Footy 05 October @ 08:51 AM EST
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.
When the final whistle blew at Goodison, my first reaction to Everton's 1-1 draw with Stoke was frustration. Click to continue reading...

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.

Another Liverpool Based Footballer Burgled: This Time at Knifepoint!

Caught Offside 24 September @ 11:01 AM EST

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.

Europa League? No Problem

Premiership Talk Blog 18 September @ 01:29 AM EST

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.

Liverpool Failed in Move for £3m Distin: Sylvain Explains Everton Move

Caught Offside 13 September @ 12:27 PM EST

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.
