Judas does well for the Devils

Wayne Rooney launched himself into the footballing stratosphere with a debut hat-trick for Manchester United in a 6-2 victory over Fenerbahce at Old Trafford.On this evidence, Sir Alex Ferguson would have made a wise investment if he had spent the next two years' transfer budget on the 18-year-old, instead of the bargain £27million which prised him from Everton last month.

Never, in all the years of this illustrious club, can any one player have made such a startling start to their career.

Two brutal first-half efforts were followed by an incredible Beckham TM free-kick seven minutes after the break to ensure Rooney left the Theatre of Dreams with a match ball, a place in history and the adoring chants of 60,000 voices ringing in his ears.


17th minute- Thumping finish from Rooney, top stuff. He ran onto the through-ball and powered the ball into the roof of the net from just inside the area. No chance Rustu, 2-0 United..

28th minute- Another special goal from a special player. He drew Umit into the challenge, which created the space and he had no hesitation in firing the ball into the bottom corner of Rustu's net like an arrow. Absolutely superb

54th minute- Unbelievable stuff. Rooney does his impression of David Beckham to curl a free-kick into the top left-hand corner of the net. 4-1 United, Rooney an instant hero

81st minute- Bellion remained calm to latch on to Rooney's fine flicked header to send him through, he closed in on goal and slotted in from the angle. And that's number 6


"It was an outstanding debut, It is something you dream of as a manager for a player to play in this way and to score in this way in his first game. If he does that, it makes you very happy and you're a very lucky manager. Rooney is still very young and maybe he will become the player of the century. He is at the beginning now though." Fenerbahce coach Christoph Daum shrugged off the defeat to pay tribute to Rooney.

So Shan and all those Manu fans out there, so tell me is £28m really that much or is it simply a fucking bargain?!!

I watched the highlights on the tv. I honestly thought that after watching player after player leave Goodison, Rooney would be just another one and with the club doing pretty well, I thought i'd be over the whole sad and sorry saga and forget about him. How wrong was I...

When he scored, there was none of the delight he showed when he scored for us. Does that prove the kid really has no soul or does it prove that despite getting everything he claimed he wanted, he’ll never love playing for a club as much as he loved playing for Everton? Whatever the reason is, it matters no more.

Right now I just feel numb..
Your once a blue, always a blue..Only time will judge that..

Portsmouth 0 Everton 1

Tim Cahill does it again!! Everton's tremendous start of the season continues and is steadily positioned 3rd in the league!! With 4 points clear of the 4th place and only 3 points away from leaders, Arsenal. No, im not saying that we are challenging for the title YET.. I'm glad the club have finally overcome its fear of height..That probably explained why all these while (since 1985?) we never really got to the top end of the table..

The game was shown live at Fox TV!! WohooO!! But sadly, the pubs nearby my place does not fancy opening on Sundays!! Had to dig my way to Northbridge and found this brilliant sports pub!! Had that Everton game on and poor Denise and Azah was there as well..And yet again, everytime with my Everton kit im bound to make some new friends..And this time it's Adam and his vietnamese-looking gf!! He was simply delighted to bump into another Evertonian and we had quite a chat and of course the girls were just left figuring the meaning of football..

Only managed to catch the first half of the game as the Pub closes at 12midnite!! And as for some, it's 10pm!! My gosh!!


Apparently it seems that at the stroke of midnite, the bartender will turn into a horse, the waitress will turn into mices, the Dj will turn into a lizard and the bouncers will turn into pigs..Ok, sorry about the lizard and pigs (couldnt recall what other animals were there in Cinderella)..Well, rushed back home and straight to my laptop to check the livescore update..


David Unsworth, former Everton player..One of my fav players..Meeting some of his buddies..feels weird though to see him play against us..


Yes!! He did it again..He scored yet another away win for us!! What joy it was when Cahill name appeared on the livescore update!! A brilliant cross from Lee Carsley, and a brilliant header from Tim Cahill on the 80th minute mark!!


In Everton, there's no such thing as a ONE MAN TEAM anymore..The team have been well united ever since the departure of Judas Rooney..The transfer afterall, seem to be the best move so far..

Bristol City 2 Everton 2

Carling Cup..On the paper, it seem like it was to be a cruising win for Everton which was true for the first half as Big Dunc scored from the spot on the 30th minute.



Leon Osman limped off just before the break to be replaced by Nick Chadwick and on his first touch, Good ol' Chadwick scored the second goal for Everton..



After the break Bristol hit back at us immideately and managed to pull one back on the 49th minute through a fast move down the Everton left, followed by a fierce incoming ball resulted in an own goal by Tim Cahill or Alan Stubbs under pressure..

The lead was then surrendered on the 53rd minute when a cross from the right, met by Leroy Lita in the box to slam it home for an equalizer. 2-2.. There was not be any further defensive slip ups as both teams battled through and in the 80th minute, Everton was awarded a penalty as McFadden was being fouled in the box. McFadden came up and took the penalty and the keeper guessed well and saved the penalty!!

Extra Time was to be called to try and break these two teams but none of the side brokethrough to score in extra time.. The game was to be decided through penalty kicks..


Everton's first kicker, and Watson's shot was well saved..


Coles' shot hit the bar and Everton could very well wrapped up the game if Carsley scores..


And he does!! Carsley scoring it to make it a 4-3 win on penalties.



Everton through to the next round.

sleepless in sydney

This is one shite that shane boy wrote the other day and thought that since i jus watched dear ol' Man United taking the 3pts against the shite (2 Brilliant headers from Silvestre secures a 2-1 win), i thought might as well return them a favour. Here's something good that i reckon you all should have a go at..

"dear all...
recently, i have come to learn new things about myself. I dun dispute the fact that there's always someone i this world who would have to live a life without a love of life-partner. I strongly believe i fall in that category. Maybe when God made me, one of the life qualities he left out was love. Heck, i dun blame God at all. Maybe i was brought here for another reason, a reason i dunno just yet.

Dun get me wrong, i think it's a tragedy if someone lives a love-less life. How can anyone not have love. Apparently, there are few who belong in this category. I pray very hard that none of u guys join me in this not-meant-to-find-love category. I hope u guys find someone - your love.

For those who have someone in their arms and do love them, i beg u not do anything to destroy your love. I damaged probably my only chance for true love with an angel who i believe only walks among us once a lifetime. I let my stupidity take over my common sense and let her slip through my fingers. That is a mistake i have to live with. I do hope our paths will cross again.

I know there are a few ppl who thinks that single life is the best. If u have a partner and think this way, that means u do not love him/her. Coz ppl like me who are not as blessed as many of u, are deprived of that magic.

If u love someone, accept them as who they are. Forgive their mistakes, as to err is human. There is no perfect man or woman, but there's a perfect partner. I believe i let my perfect partner run away from my loving arms. Dun make the same mistakes i did, i urge you.

If u love your partner, never hesitate to tell him/her that u love them. When you are holding hands, hold like you are not letting go. Same goes for your embraces. Look into their eyes and pour your feelings out. There is no shame for doing so guys! It proves your sincerity. Dun get scared of arguments, they are just tests that will make your relationship stronger, provided u pass the test.

As for me, i just have to live out my life knowing i wasted a lifetime chance to share love with one of God's greatest creation. I'm still young, so there's plenty of time for me to wait for our paths to cross. If i dun have her this lifetime, pls pray for me guys that i'll have her in my next.

If someone were to win her heart, i'd like to congratulate you. She really loves you. Just make sure you dun break her heart. If u do, i'm coming to kick your ass! The man she loves will be luckiest man in the universe. I can only dream to be that man. I'll envy him. She's truly an angel. You are gonna be blessed with her touch, her kisses and her love.

I guess my mission in this life is to be an entertainer. I love making ppl laugh. So maybe i might end working as a clown. I'll update u guys on that one. Haha. So that's my mission now, even if i have to do it alone.

Yes i'm gonna miss her. She already owns my heart. And i doubt i can love another. I cannot afford to suffer another heartbreak. My heart cannot take it anymore. But i can continue being a friend to everyone. But love?? nah...I never gave up on love, although tough times tested my love for the past year. It's just that love gave up on me.

If u see this angel around, just tell her that i miss her and i love her to bits. Hope that one fine day, she'll learn to have the faith and trust to love me too.

So guys pls. If u found your love, dun let him/her go. For those who haven't, hang in there. You probably have not found your love yet. Like i said, i found mine and lost it. So that's pretty much it for me. I hope that guys dun end up like me.
Good luck ya'll and take care..."

~Sleepless in Sydney~
(Shan, 2004)


I wish you best of luck my good pal..I've seen you throughout the years and how patiently you tried and the efforts you put into making the person you cherish is simply magnificant and perhaps, this angel that you perceive is probably simply not meant to be yours..Maybe..Maybe not..Im no psychic..I cant tell the future but nevertheless, don't ever give up on love regardless of how much it might hurt cause when you finally get the fruits out of it, it's simply an undescribeable feeling!!

You'll find your way ol' chap..And whoever that lucky lassie that u'll be with is certainly one very lucky girl!! Keep the faith my good man!! Cheerios on our brotherly friendship!!

missed out on live game gathering..

I came back home after watching the Southampton Newcastle game last night and could only get the latest score line via the internet where else the lads back home gets to watch it live on TV!!! Arghh!! Stupid FoxTV here have shitty soccer progammes!! Can i get Astro here?

The meetup was a great meetup from the feedback i hear thru our message board, we got ourself an OFFICIAL EVERTON Cafe cum Pub!! The Cafe is still rather new, i think about 2-3 months old..The owners are all Evertonians though..All three of them!! Bye bye to Home&Away Pub at Hartamas, you did well to serve us..Will NOT miss the glory glory manu theme u play!! lol..

Everton 1 - Middlesbrough 0

Really, tell me who needs Wayne Rooney? Certainly not third-placed Everton after this stunning battling display to extend our best ever start to a Premiership season. Marcus Bent got the goal that meant Everton are still unbeaten since the opening day of the Barclays Premiership season while a defence of heroes defiantly withstood a fierce late Middlesbrough barrage.



In fact there were heroes everywhere. David Weir and Alan Stubbs at the back, the all-action Thomas Gravesen in the middle and plenty of supporting roles played by the likes of Leon Osman, Kevin Kilbane and Tony Hibbert. Somehow Everton have emerged from a summer of financial, internal crisis and critics who claimed this would be a relegation battle season from the off for us.

Everton controlled the game from the very beginning, could have went in to half time with an least a 2-0 deposit!!





The ball broke for Osman on the 47th minute, who found Bent on the halfway line. Bent raced away into an empty half, held off Chris Riggott, and saw his shot deflect in off Schwarzer's diving body for his second goal for the club and first at Goodison Park. It was all Boro after this, they kept bombarding the boys in Blues and McFadden could have wrapped up the game as he ran 50 yards with the ball but only for Schwarzer to pick it away from his toes!! It was a nail-bitting last 15minutes in Goodison, and certainly not a scene for the faint-hearted..

ManCity 0 - Everton 1

A week of mad mad referees!! This includes the Arsenal Fulham game where there were a handful of weird decision..But of course, none is as shocking as the Man City - Everton referee..Tim Cahill, an Aussie signed from Milwall for 2million pounds (RM 12million!!) played his second Everton game and scored an amazing header past ManCity (aka former England gk), David James!



It was a game that Everton have dominated and young Cahill found the net in the 60th minute, his first goal in such a prestige league and for such a prestige club, he was simply thrilled and ran a quarter of the pitch lifting his shirt up to his neck before the other teammates catch up with him..





To everybody's surprise and to the ManCity supporters' delights, Tim Cahill was given his second yellow card and followed by a fcukin RED!! Off u go, goal scorer..Apparently the referee was just jealous of how well Cahill's body was compared to his..

Laugh your heads off!!

Found this good shite from Charmaine's blog..

I wont paste everything but will pick some out of it..

Insanity takes hold in the lab

1. Log on, wait a sec, then get a frightened look on your face and scream "Oh my God! They've found me!" and bolt.
2. Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes & then suddenly stop and look suspiciously at everyone who looks at you.
3. Type frantically, often stopping to look at the person next to you evilly.
4. Before anyone else is in the lab, connect each computer to different screen than the one it's set up with.
5. Make a small ritual sacrifice to the computer before you turn it on.
6. Bring a chainsaw, but don't use it. If anyone asks why you have it, say "Just in case..." mysteriously.
7. Ask around for a spare disk. Offer $2. Keep asking until someone agrees. Then, pull a disk out of your fly and say "Oops, I forgot."
8. Every time you press Return and there is processing time required, pray "Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease," and scream "YES!" when it finishes.
9. If you're sitting in a swivel chair, spin around singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" whenever there is processing time required.
10. Draw a picture of a woman (or man) on a piece of paper, tape it to your monitor. Try to seduce it. Act like it hates you and then complain loudly that women (men) are worthless.
11. Try to stick a Nintendo cartridge into the 3 disc drive, when it doesn't work, get the supervisor.
12. Print out the complete works of Shakespeare, then when its all done (two days later) say that all you wanted was one line.
13. Take the keyboard and sit under the computer. Type up your paper like this. Then go to the lab supervisor and complain about the bad working conditions.
14. Laugh hysterically, shout "You will all perish in flames!!!" and continue working.
15. Bring some dry ice & make it look like your computer is smoking.
16. Attempt to eat your computer's mouse.
17. Borrow someone else's keyboard by reaching over, saying "Excuse me, mind if I borrow this for a sec?", unplugging the keyboard & taking it.
18. Bring in a bunch of magnets and have fun.
19. When doing calculations, pull out an abacus and say that sometimes the old ways are best.
20. Make a loud noise of hitting the same key over and over again until you see that your neighbor is noticing (You can hit the space bar so your fill isn't affected). Then look at your neighbor's keyboard. Hit his/her delete key several times, erasing an entire word. While you do this, ask: "Does *your* delete key work?" Shake your head, and resume hitting the space bar on your keyboard. Keep doing this until you've deleted about a page of your neighbor's document. Then, suddenly exclaim: "Well, whaddya know? I've been hitting the space bar this whole time. No wonder it wasn't deleting! Ha!" Print out your document and leave.
21. Remove your disk from the drive and hide it. Go to the lab monitor and complain that your computer ate your disk. (For special effects, put some Glue on or around the disk drive. Claim that the computer is drooling.)
22. Point at the screen. Chant in a made up language while making elaborate hand gestures for a minute or two. Press return or the mouse, then leap back and yell "COVEEEEERRRRRR!" peek up from under the table, walk back to the computer and say. "Oh, good. It worked this time," and calmly start to type again.
23. See who's online. Send a total stranger a talk request. Talk to them like you've known them all your lives. Hang up before they get a chance to figure out you're a total stranger.
24. Bring a small tape player with a tape of really absurd sound effects. Pretend it's the computer and look really lost.
25. Pull out a pencil. Start writing on the screen. Complain that the lead doesn't work.

These ideas remind me of some ideas Jem, Derr, Shane and myself have either done before or an least thought of it before..Those were the days...

The life of a M'sian toffee..

It is a very long way from the terraces of Goodison Park to the shores of Malaysia and some may be surprised to learn that there is an Everton Supporter’s Club in Malaysia. Given the dominance of Manchester United/Arsenal over the past decade and the recent emergence of Chelsea with their multi million pound signings, why Everton one might ask?

A far cry from the dismal 1990s and the club's present predicament, Everton is a club with a proud footballing tradition and history that is laced with triumph and glory. If you know your history, Everton is one of England's biggest club, dare we say the original big 5 club. An unbroken run in the top flight since 1954 (second only to Arsenal) and the first team to play 100 years in the top flight are some of the achievements that Evertonians, the world over, are proud of. In terms of trophies won at least, Evertonians can still count themselves among the top 5 clubs in England. Only Manchester United, SHite and Arsenal have won more League titles than Everton. A total of 9 League championships, a haul of 5 FA Cups which is also among the best in the country and an European Cup Winners Cup is proof of this. Who know what might have been if English teams weren’t banned from European football. Everton can also boast one of the best and most loyal supporters in the UK. Where else can you find average attendances of over 38,000 (Goodison Park capacity 40,100) for a team that finished 17th in the league?

Everton Supporters Club Malaysia (ESCM) was formed by a group of local Evertonians and is currently in the process of being registered as an official supporter’s club of Everton FC. Currently, there are over 70 registered male and female members who are located all over the country. Even though ESCM is still in its infancy, we’ve managed to regularly get together during the live telecast of Everton games and cheer on our boys in blue. We also try and organise a session of futsal once in a while. An ESCM team (Everton B) won the EPL Supporters Club of Malaysia Cup Tournament held at Sportsplanet recently, beating Tottenham Hotspurs of Singapore 3-0.

It is not easy being an Evertonian in Malaysia where most of the people around you support either Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool. Most supporters of Everton in Malaysia started supporting the club in the mid 80s and the Everton side of the time, with its sublime football was a pleasure to watch. Everton and Liverpool dominated the mid 80s and added some extra spice to the proceedings due to the local rivalry. Back then, the only live games that Malaysian managed to watch was the FA Cup final and Everton’s Championship wins, FA Cup exploits and the Cup Winner’s Cup triumph did help attract support in Malaysia. A preseason tour of Malaysia in the late 80s where Everton played the national side was a bonus for Malaysia Toffees who could at last see their heroes in the flesh. The names of Neville Southall, Graeme Sharp, Peter Reid & Gary Lineker, just to name a few, bring back fond memories. It really hurt all Evertonians that we could not play in Europe after winning the Championship. We had a very good side that had won the Cup Winner’s Cup the previous season but were denied a shot at the European Cup because of the European ban in effect on all English teams (BECAUSE OF LIVERPOOL FANS BEHAVING VIOLENTLY!!!). Howard Kendall left for Spain for a taste of European football. That was the start of the decline for Everton Football Club.

By the time league games were being shown live here, Everton was no longer a dominant force. The advent of the Internet and Astro did help us keep in touch with the fortunes of our beloved club. Apart from the FA Cup final win over Manchester United in 1995, there hasn’t been much to shout about lately but all is not doom and gloom. In David Moyes, we currently have one of the best and brightest young managers in the game and a small albeit dedicated squad of players. The thing is, we've been down this path before.

In the early 80s, a bright young manager, Kendall, comes into a relegation threatened team. The star midfielder, a young blue nose from Halewood, Steve McMahon is the hope for all blues, refuses a new contract due to poor terms and he leaves. The manager and board then start to come in for heavy criticism from the fans. Petitions around the ground calling for the chairman and manager to go. A young goalkeeper(Southall)lets 5 in at the derby at Goodison and gets loaned out before the next game. The reserve team coach (Harvey) gets promoted to try and take some of the heat off Kendall. Kendall signs two has been players that could break down at any minute and are criticised for buying the has beens (Gray and Reid). A young forward (Sharp) is always criticised by the fans for not trying. You don't need star players to win the league, cup etc. You need players to have star performances.

Evertonians are a very hardy breed indeed. We’ve been through the good times and the bad and last summer was definitely one of the worst with the boardroom uncertainties and Rooney transfer saga. Although we may be half a world away from Goodison Park, most of us realised what it means to be part of this great club. We feel the highs and lows, the hopes and frustrations, just as strongly out here. Some of us have had the opportunity to experience the excitement of the drumroll and the tune that sends shivers down every true blue’s spine. The players running onto the pitch to the tune of Z-Cars amid the roar that reaches a crescendo. It is a sound that makes every hair stand on. As the saying goes, Evertonians are Born not Manufactured.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum.

It's exactly 5.36am..And i can hear clearly the beautiful chirping that birds make early in the morning..It's still rather dark out there but the air is simply fresh..Never realised that it could be so calm and peaceful at these hours..One would probably not realise such an amazing sight especially when one just got back from a couple of pints..Gimme about an hour or two and i'll see how things go..If it permits, i'll go for a walk..It just seem like im in a completely different place..

It's amazing how things can brighten up..

It all seem to be yet another frustrating and gloomy day..Didnt bother to surf any Everton sites as i've had enough of it..Everton sites: One of the depression sources..It doesn't help when my hsemates are all out..Just me and this huge hse..Haihh..No human interaction once again..Opened the mailbox and that's where the fat bills turned up and waved ever happily to me!! *bas3rds!!* Rang my friends and either they are not in or they are in gym!! SAD, eh?

Well, to the little things that brighten my day up..Calculations and budgeting of course got me going and a little more steady and, 'hey! It ain't that bad afterall'. Playing soccer further ease the frustration and worries..Hey, soccer is a pretty good cure ya know!! And finally checked the Everton site and it just got my spirit going again when the Everton boys are simply so optimistic and together!! Weeeeeee~~ :D Sorted certain issues with this friend of mine..Well, didnt exactly sorted it out but just erased things i guess..(Derr & boys: No, not gay!! No musshy mushy make ups!!lol!!) And wolaaa...A not too bad day afterall.. :)

The fight against the dark ages are on the way!! :P Brighter day tomorrow? *fingers' crossed*

Feels like the world have just fallen on me

The past few weeks was not the best of times i went through..

Frustration..Anger..Dissapointment..Confusion..Rejection..Missed Opportunities..Fat Bills regardless how i tried to oppress it..Grrr!! There goes half my leisure money..

Things just does work according to plan..Why? The times of darkness have begun for me..The fight for better times will now be in call and i've got no idea where to start from?!

Only time will make things better someone said..But i don't reckon this is going to apply to me..Time is killing me!! Why must i wait..Why must i sleep and wake up facing the same matters..Knowing that the matter would still be facing me and smiling right towards me!! Why can't i just resolve it? Why must there be barriers? Why must there be 'rules and procedures'?!

How the fcuk do i get things straighten up? I thought that i was getting on the recovery path just few days ago..

I guess i was just being naive..

What sins have i committed to be punished in such manner?

If only it went through..



Benni McCarthy.. Top-scorer in the Portuguese league last year and more importantly, helped Porto to clinch the prestigious UEFA Champions League..

It would have made the Rooney transfer less sour but now it's salt to the wound..ouch..

"The deal was done, I had agreed everything with Everton," said McCarthy on Tuesday. "I was expecting to go to the Democratic Republic of Congo (for Bafana's 2006 World Cup qualifier on Sunday) buzzing, thinking about going to play in Liverpool."

McCarthy was even supposed to go to the British Embassy in Pretoria on Tuesday to finalise his work permit before the evening's transfer deadline.

Then, at the last minute, lightning struck in the same way for a third time for him. According to the striker, Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa decided he did not want to let his No 77 go.

McCarthy's dissapointment

Goin..Goin.. Gone..

31st August, Wayne Rooney has officially become a Man United player. The transfer which cost ManUtd £20m possibly rising to £29.5m depending on appearances and achievements. For many, such a sum is way too hefty for an 18 year old but to be fair, he’s a great long term investment and furthermore he have signed a 6-years contract. Well, that's from a neutral point of view.



Now from an Evertonian's point of view, Rooney and ManU Makes me sick!! Wayne Rooney has been at Everton for nine years. He had seen it all in Everton and the sad fact is that he had seen enough. Rooney’s ambition, arrogance and greed could not be satisfied at Goodison Park in its present state. Wayne Rooney is a totally different person to the one who thrilled us only a year ago. He has become a person with an attitude and ego that I have been told the club is better off without. His head has been filled with shit but he, and no other, has let that shit in.

It’s always sad when our best leave, but the only thing to blame here is the worst elements of human nature. Too much – too soon – too young. Everything that happened after that was as a consequence of him not wanting to stay at the club he once loved, when the wheel started turning it couldn’t be stopped.

In Everton’s hour of need, Wayne Rooney has turned his back on the Club when it needed him most. That is how Evertonians will remember him as. I’ll never forgive Wayne Rooney. He hasn’t lied to us but he has shown the fans utter contempt on a club that was willing to do anything for him. Never in a million years would I have believed that Rooney could twist the knife while it was stuck in so many Evertonians' hearts!! Shame on you, Wayne.

I feel absolutely gutted.


This jersey was up on ebay on Bank Holiday Monday and its simply sickening..Shame on you Devils!!
