Everton: Champions League? You're Having A Laugh!


Newcastle's inability to convert clear-cut chances into goals, lack of discipline and self inflicted wounds at the back brought another defeat on the road and with it thankful pats on the back from Everton who are now almost guaranteed that last Champions League spot. Should Liverpool fail to beat Arsenal at Highbury this afternoon the Toffemen will be England's 4th representation in Europe's premier competition next season.

If they pass the minefield of the qualification round that is. They only need to look at wor lot to see how easily one can balls that up.

And what does that say about the Premiership and more significantly our very own club? It says it all in my opinion. All credit to David Moyes and Everton for their fantastic and well deserved season but how this shower of journeymen have risen from the clutches of near relegation last season to 4th says more about the state of our game and indeed our own club than the actual talent of the Goodison side and the ability of Moyes as a manager.

Newcastle and the rest of the League ought to be ashamed. Everton with a poor to average squad, arguably the thinnest in the League and with a game plan that should come with a parental warning sign have shown up the League and United for what they are - distinctly poor. The top three aside, the self proclaimed best League in the world is a shower of sh!te.

And so are we.

Good luck in Europe Everton, you'll need it.

Ending on a slightly positive note, there is hope for all of us.

Kluivert On His Way?


From the BBC:

Dutch international striker Patrick Kluivert has confirmed he will leave Newcastle at the end of the season. The Magpies have an option to sign the 28-year-old for a further two years, but he is set to leave after a disappointing year at St James' Park.

Kluivert is wanted by a host of Spanish clubs including Valencia, Seville and Real Betis, but has ruled out a move to Turkish side Fenerbahce.

He told the News of the World: "I am going back to Spain and not Turkey."

Kluivert arrived at Newcastle on a free transfer from Barcelona last summer.

He has started only 14 Premiership games for the Magpies, with 10 appearances from the bench, and scored six league goals.
