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.

The day before the day before the season and I am a bundle of nerves.
Everything kicks off in Essex against Chelmsford City on Saturday and although we really need a good start I have no idea how we are going to begin. The evidence is decidedly mixed.
Last year we struggled to score goals in the preseason and the regular season. Click to continue reading...

I was listening to some Duke Ellington the other day, and was struck by just how low our standards for song lyrics are these days. Take this lyric from Come to Baby, Do!

So pucker up my sweet
and meet your Waterloo
Come to baby, do!

How many people writing songs these days even know what Waterloo is? Click to continue reading...

Odd day. Up early this morning for a presentation in Bracknell, out to that, spent two hours talking, back again, nip down to Crockatt & Powell to say hello to Matthew, up to Waterloo, and oh look, there's Mark Schwarzer in WH Smith, buying himself a copy of The Times. In those famous hands were several Harrod's food hall bags (staff discount, I imagine).

There is talk that Waterloo have found the investment they need

Waterloo Rugby Club handed a survival lifeline

At long last something that isn't doom and gloom. If that is all sorted then it really is great news. I don't care where the team ends up, I am going to support them wherever.

One of the chaps over on the Rolling Maul National League Rugby Union Forum post this link which gives absolutely superb information on Rugby Union results & stats.
Extremely useful because the information isn't always available for very long....in the case of Waterloo, however, it might be better if the data was just locked in a vault somewhere where no-one can ever find it. Click to continue reading...

I have to say that's the first time I've ever used that phrase. On the 81 going to the match today I found a couple of conkers I'd picked up weeks ago intending to throw them onto a field somewhere.
They were in my pocket all day today and after two marvelous performances by my teams they are now officially my lucky conkers. Click to continue reading...

Everton 0 - 2 liverpool
Blackheath 48 - 12 Waterloo
Ugh, what a crappy weekend of sport. Everton got lost the derby and Waterloo got another beating down in Blackheath.
The main problem with Everton on Saturday was that their usually hard-to-play-against 4-4-1-1 was shackled all day and kept as a 4-5-0-1. Click to continue reading...

Chris O'Callaghan leave Waterloo.
HEAD coach Chris O'Callaghan has resigned from Waterloo following three successive defeats have left them at the bottom of National Two.
O'Callaghan joined the club just before the start of last season following relegation from National One.
"Chris has left the club by mutual agreement," said chairman Simon Robb. Click to continue reading...

Martin O'Keefe will be fit soon and Freeman Payne and Jan van deVenter are back at the club
Great to have these three back...Looking forward to Saturday even more now. Click to continue reading...

So we approach the new seasons and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about them. Everton have marked time for 2 months whilst everyone else has strengthened and reports from inside Blundelsands are about as frequent as those from inside Area 51.
It would appear that my two teams are becalmed...not expecting great things from either team this season to be honest. Click to continue reading...

Right now I feel that "Tommy's Army" stands like General Wellington waiting for the Hessians reinforcements to arrive at Waterloo. Except that when Wellington absolutely needed the Germans to arrive... they did. So far, no one has arrived over that hill to relieve the strain. Soehn thought some of the dealing would be done by [.

Waterloo Rugby Club look at moving ground
Can my sports clubs just stop leaving their beautiful traditional old homes please....is it too much too ask. First Everton ditch our wonderful old stadium for some souless-modern logistical nightmare out in the sticks....Now Waterloo are looking to move. Click to continue reading...

Let's start with The Yak....he looks the business at the moment. I think that's the first perfect hat-trick I've ever seen. One with the left foot, one with the right and header (in one half with no-one else scoring in between). Brilliant stuff. Yakubu Aiyegbeni take a bow.

We are now 10 games unbeaten with 8 wins and 2 draws. Click to continue reading...

Tough times at Waterloo, they got battered last week after the heroics against Blackheath
icLiverpool - Injury woe continues for coach O'Callaghan
Last week the Merseysiders were without backs and they were forced to play a back row forward, Matt Bradley, on the wing.
Neil Kerfoot has not set foot on a field at all this season after suffering a groin injury at the end of last term. Click to continue reading...

Phew, what a difference a week makes eh...last weekend England and Everton had been beaten victims of varying degrees of dodgy refereeing and Waterloo had been beaten tamely at Cambridge. Bit depressing let me tell you.
Thursday's UEFA game again Larissa was a real tonic for our battered egos so Saturday was "once more onto the breach" as we tripped out to Blundellsands for Waterloo v Blackheath. Click to continue reading...

Watched two games of rugby on Saturday and it has to be said that both results were a bit of a travesty. Waterloo just couldn't get to grips with Redruth but were gifted two tries and in the end won 25 - 19. A win is a win but again they looked scrappy. Great to see O'Donnell and Ruwers back for us. Both superb players. Commiserated with a Redruth coach after them game. Click to continue reading...

After all the euphoria of the last few days Everton and Waterloo brought us back to earth with a bump after both going down to defeats away from home.
Newcastle 3-2 Everton
Stourbridge 38-19 Waterloo
Grrrrrr Click to continue reading...

We squeezed a lot in this weekend. Our friends Helen & Andy popped up to visit on Friday night and we went to a beer festival at Liverpool Cricket Club and had a thoroughly good time. It was put on by The Beer Festival Company and was really well organised, definitely recomend it. All that fun meant I missed the England/Tonga game but WAP phones meant we kept in touch with the score and so soothed my nerves. Click to continue reading...

Hot on the heals on Lancashire's disappointment Everton & Waterloo both lose at the weekend. *Pout*.
Judging the mood of the Evertonians I know I am fearful or another Villareal effect if we don't turn it round in the second leg against Metalist. I hope not 'cause it was a cripplingly depressing season two years ago. Again, depsite being talked of as shangri-la European football might well turn into a poison challice for Everton.

Double header against the Manchester teams met with mixed results
Waterloo V Manchester
Everton V Manchester
Didn't get to see either game 'cause we were at a family wedding (who gets married during the footy season). Despite my best effort to pout about missing the sport we all had a great time. My cousin Gary and his new wife Kirstie did us proud laying on a brilliant party. Click to continue reading...

icLiverpool - Otley 25, Waterloo 15
Hmm, what's wrong with this sentence :
"Waterloo took an early lead with a penalty by Alex Davies but tries from Otley's Dan Smith, converted by Alan Greendale, and Paul Williams gave the Yorkshire side a 12-0 lead at the break."
That was always going to be a toughie, pity we didn't nick a losing bonus. Click to continue reading...

Welsh Rugby Union : O'Callaghan joins Waterloo
This is good news...him and Joe Lydon have a good pedigree although it's unclear exactly how much the latter will be involved. Need some players to come in though. We have one second rower signed up so far to my knowledge but not sure about who else.
The same could said about Everton. Click to continue reading...
