I don't speak for all Toffeemen but when we play you it's the one fixture - and I'm serious - that I personally don't mind losing if it means you lads can finish ahead of United. If we can hold on to Fellaini this season I'd be surprised. He's a CL standard player and if we can't finish 4th...

You're welcome, lighter shade of blues... Knowing us though we'll sell Fellaini before the end of the month.

Thanks for all the kind comments, lighter blues. I suspect we had to do something to make up for that gutless surrender at Wembley last week, hence we had a go at United. And best wishes to you for the rest of the season; I really hope you win the title.

Chaps, you're very welcome (from this Evertonian). I hope it's some consolation for our win over you earlier in the season.... AND... best wishes for the run-in. Not going to be easy but you have to believe and none of this over-respecting them carry on, you know, the way we do every time we...

From Germany's "Kicker" (Monday 24th): "Even on the day after, the fans, players and officials of Manchester United must feel like it was a horrible nightmare. With a 1:6 scoreline, the English record and reigning champions were violently rolled over on Sunday during the prestigious local derby...

Kenwright is under pressure for many reasons, one of which may be because news of the Sheikh's alleged early approaches was leaked via back channels and Evertonians are understandably incandescent with fury over the matter. So the more cynical amongst us might view his recent "revelations" as...

Not sure if any fellow Evertonians have mentioned this, but Kenwright is alleged to have thrown up a wall of absurd NDAs that disgusted the Sheik's legal people. The inference being - at least to some of us - that there are bizarre secrets at the EFC board that are not allowed to see the light...

Yes, it appears that red was foisted upon them, that blue and white (or white and blue) was the colours they originally wanted to play in but that the local footballing authorities made them wear red. Makes sense of why they occasionally have a lot of blue on their kits (esp. mid to late 1990s)...

Good to hear the City fans were well received and enjoyed the beer. I've had some great times in Bavaria too, particularly in Garmisch Partenkirchen... Everything is blue and white (flags, poles, ribbons, tents, etc, etc) - can't quite understand why Bayern Munich are not a blue-and-white club...

You mean Bayern are more "eingebildet"?

Bild (a trashy German rag) is tonight featuring an article online entitled: "Finally an opponent for Bayern" and the expectation that Neuer will have something to do at last in the form of trying to stop City's "sharp-shooters". Link (in German): <a class="postlink"...

Okay, I'm an Everton fan (remember us? we beat you 3-1 in the semi final of the European CW Cup in 1985, back when we had a real team) and I will try to be as objective about this as possible. Robben and Ribery - the so-called "Robbery" combination at Bayern - are major creative forces, but I...

Agreed. All footballers are mercenaries. And I'm so sick of all this crap about buying success; isn't that what every club has been trying to do since football began? We lost against the strongest City side in decades and that's fair enough given the disparity in the quality between the two...

Good luck City from this Evertonian! I detest Bayern as they're part of the established elite who want to rig the rules to make sure clubs like City can't steal any of their global market share. Bayern rely heavily on the overrated Ribery and the perennially knackered Robben. Their defence has...

Where are Corinthians getting the money from, though? I hope they're not functioning as a "staging post" for a move to Chelsea in January... As for wishing to be near his family, I'm not convinced given his previous whoremongery.

Oh City! Well done, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart: I was delighted for you chaps after all the abuse you've received from that lot from Salford over the years. I know what it's like to have a red shadow cast over beautiful blue, but now I hope you can go on and in turn knock a...

He'd be the very ticket for your midfield and he's currently telling Bayern he's in no rush to extend his contract, as he wants to see how (or if) they strengthen their squad in January, as his goal is to win the CL (with or without Bayern). Uli Hoeness is warning other clubs off though, saying...

Even the trashy German "Bild" is bashing you lot: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.bild.de/BILD/sport/fussball/international/2010/08/15/manchester/zahlt-100-mio-fuer-ein-0-0.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.bild.de/BILD/sport/fussball/ ... n-0-0.html</a>...

Hope he settles in quickly and does well for you lot. He's done some daft things, but I actually see that as a combination of intelligence and a passionate personality just malfunctioning a little because he's still young.
