Everton 1 - Man Utd 0

Everton v Manu..Most pundits predicted a draw for the clash of the 4th vs the 3rd placed team..The last time Manu battled with Everton at Goodison, they outran Everton and smashed it 3-1..(That was the FA Cup)..This time around the bids are higher..Everton looks to secure it's 4th Champions League position where else Manu would want to gain 2nd place ahead of bitter rivals, Arsenal..

The game didnt dissapoint since the kick off itself..Both team were in pacey mood and it was end to end stuff..Both teams having fair shares in the game..


Timmy's first half attempt on goal which was cleared off the line by Wes Brown.




Big Dunc did it 10 years ago and he's still doing it!! The goal came in the 55th minute when Duncan Ferguson rose before Rio Ferdinand to meet Arteta's free kick and divert it into the net past the helpless Tim Howard. Everton 1 Man Utd 0!!


G.Neville is a fucking arsehole!! He has always been immatured and has huge amount of stupidity installed in him!! Kicking the ball at the fans? Com'on UR A PROFESSIONAL!! Every player gets sticking from the opposition fans!!

It's ashame i couldnt watch this game live..sigh..Every soccer site reports of this game as simply being end-to-end stuff..5 more games to go..Com'on Everton, secure the 4th spot!!

For the official match report, Everton 1 Man Utd 0

Everton 4 - Crystal Palace 0

Let’s start in the style of Sesame Street. Today’s lesson was brought to you by the letters J and V, and the number 4.

---------------------------------------------------
The first win for Everton in the 4th month of 2005

Everton wins by 4 clear goals to Crystal Palace

We are 4 points in front of the RedShite

The Toffees still 4th in the table

Once a Blue, 4-ever a Blue.
---------------------------------------------------

Everton took full advantage of the fact that fourth place obsessed, but patently not good enough, Liverpool lost again yesterday, thanks to a last minute goal from Kiki Musampa. With the game being a day later than their rivals’ yesterday’s results set things up nicely for Everton.

Knowing a win would put them four points clear again, they went at Palace with gusto, in a slighly changed 4-4-2 formation. Gary Naysmith came in, suprisingly for the Italian, with Hibbert, Stubbs and Weir completing the defensive line-up. In midfield, Arteta took his place, alongside Osman, Kilbane and Cahill. Up front, Ferguson partnered Marcus Bent. The man making way for Ferguson was Lee Carsley who found himself on the bench, alongside Watson, Wright, Vaughan and McFadden.

With the change in formation offering a little more in the way of creativity, it didn’t take Everton long to test Crystal Palace. Kilbane trying one from long range that just missed. However, the goal that Everton craved came after 8 minutes. Palace’s goalkeeper, Gabor Kiraly handling outside his area and Mikel Arteta stepped up to send the ball screaming into the top right hand corner for his first goal for the club.



An early goal was what was needed in order to settle the nerves of Evertonians on and off the pitch, but the game didn’t really light up to be anything special in the first half. Ferguson forced an excellent save out of Kiraly, and Osman should have scored, but headed over when well placed, and that was really it as far as Evertonian highlights are concerned. Palace had a couple of snapshots.

Everton went into the break 1-0 up, and reasonably comfortable. Alan Stubbs was forced to leave the field of play after 26 minutes after injuring his arm. He was replaced by the versatile Steve Watson.

The second half took off in great fashion when Tim Cahill slammed home the second goal from 18 yards, and ten minutes later headed the third, following good work from Kevin Kilbane to all bit kill the game. Palace could have pulled a goal back, but Torghelle was unlucky to see his shot come back off the post, and Wayne Routledge should have done better than put the ball wide when well placed.







With fifteen minutes left, James Vaughan was called by David Moyes to replace Gary Naysmith. James Vaughan aged 16 years and 271 days made a piece of Everton history, becoming the youngest ever Everton first team player, beating Joe Royle’s long-standing record.

He certainly was keen to get involved in the action and had a shot blocked as the blues pressed again. However, with four minutes of normal time remaining, Osman and Kilbane linked up, and when Kilbane put a cross into the Palace penalty area, there was the youngster, Vaughan to divert the ball past Kiraly and into the net for Everton’s fourth goal of the afternoon.





In that moment, he broke two more records, taking his afternoon tally to four. He beat Wayne Rooney’s record as the youngest ever Everton goalscorer, and he also broke James Milner’s record as the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Premiership.

So, Everton score four goals, to win four-nil, and that fits perfectly into the Sesame Street tie-in up top.

Asia Tsunami Disaster

The sign is pretty obvious isnt it? Well, Boxing Day and look what has happened..This Asian Tsunami Disaster swept through several coastlines as well as lifes..Just yesterday one might just be enjoying with the entire family on the dining table for a good XMas Dinner and the day after, half the people that was on the table might have well been swept away from this disaster. Just a couple of weeks ago, 110 long-finned pilot whales and 10 bottle-nosed dolphins have been found dead after beaching themselves on Australia's island state of Tasmania. The Marine Biologist experts was not certain what causes whales and other ocean mammals to beach themselves and perhaps, just perhaps from my opinion that this could have very well been the first sign of this whole disaster..Sharks are guided by heat and Pilot Whales are guided by Deep Water Currents aka Thermohaline Circulation (I did some research). Oh Well..It might be or it might not be..

Anyway, on the day of this disaster my day was fine, i actually was in Great Ocean Road where its right next to Indian Ocean. Freaky eh? Oh Well shite happens..Anyway, gathered some information from various sites..And here's what i gather with so far..

Tsunami comes from the Japanese tsu (harbor) and nami (wave). Tsunamis are often incorrectly called tidal waves, but tides have nothing to do with them (though the damage may be worse if a tsunami hits at high tide).

A tsunami (pronounced tsoo-nah-mee) is a wave train, or series of waves, generated in a body of water by an impulsive disturbance that vertically displaces the water column. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, explosions, and even the impact of cosmic bodies, such as meteorites, can generate tsunamis. Tsunamis can savagely attack coastlines, causing devastating property damage and loss of life.

Tsunamis are unlike wind-generated waves, which many of us may have observed on a local lake or at a coastal beach, in that they are characterised as shallow-water waves, with long periods and wave lengths.


Recent tsunamis

1946: An earthquake in the Aleutian islands sent a tsunami to Hawaii, killing 159 people (only five died in Alaska).

1964: An Alaskan earthquake triggered a tsunami up to 20 feet tall that killed 11 people as far away as Crescent City, California and caused more than 120 deaths in all. More on the Web.

1983: 104 people in western Japan were killed by a tsunami spawned from a nearby earthquake.

1998: A Papua New Guinea tsunami killed roughly 3,000 people. A 7.1 magnitude earthquake 15 miles offshore was followed within 10 minutes by a wave some 40 feet tall. The villages of Arop and Warapu were destroyed.


Asia Tsunami


Asia Earthquake Explained

Indonesia is prone to seismic upheaval because of its proximity to the "Ring of Fire", an area around the Pacific Ocean basin where tectonic plates intersect and volcanoes erupt.


The quake occurred close to the island of Sumatra. Two tectonic plates, the Australian and Eurasian plates, meet just off Sumatra's south-west coast, grinding together and sending periodic seismic tremors through the region. At 0759 (0059 GMT) a violent rupture occurred on the sea floor along a fault about 1,000km long.


All along the rupture the seafloor was shunted vertically by about 10 metres. This movement displaced hundreds of cubic kilometres of the overlaying water, generating a massive tsunami, or sea surge. The wave then fanned out across the Indian Ocean at enormous speed.


The 9 magnitude quake, which was the strongest in the world for at least 40 years, wreaked havoc across the whole region. Walls of water, tens of metres high, slammed into coastal resorts thousands of miles apart. Surging seas and floods were reported as far away as east Africa.

Everton 1 Liverpool 0

The 200th Merseyside Derby..

Everton and Liverpool have a 200 games old tradition of football rivalry and it all begun since 1894 although Liverpool was established in 1892 but they finally played Everton 2 years later and just for the records, Everton won that first game..

It's the Merseyside derby and it's probably one of the most important games in the season calender and i'd never want to miss out on this..

I got on to Tatts Pokies along Chapel Street at about 11.15pm as the game starts at 11.30pm..The Melbourne Blues werent able to organise any live game meetup as many were away for the weekends of some shite..But Blues around other states of Australia organised some pretty good meetups..Brisbane Blues, Sydney Blues and Perth Blues..All had their very own live game meetups..All i manage to pull out in Melbourne is just 4 Evertonians together for this game..Oh well..Better then none..

The Merseyside Derby is one of those games that gets me so excited but when the game is actually being played, i'd have that tiny little voice speaking to me telling me that i should be away from the tv and just watch the final score..Skip all the drama and heart stopping moments..So much pride is at stake on this matchday..

Everton 3rd and Liverpool no where near to be seen..The Merseyside Derby normally have a numerous yellow cards being flashed out, a few red cards being thrown out occasionally and a few punches being thrown out at Liverpool players..(Not that Everton favours boxing but its just that Liverpool players are so shitty they simply am not capable of punching back..Oh well, regardless of punching back or not they do get send off as well..)

The game begins and Everton held on to some pretty good possessions but never really tested Liverpool's goal in the first half where else Liverpool had lesser possession but manage to sneak in a few shots to test Nigel Martyn..


The first half came to an end and both teams still couldnt break the deadlock..

Lee Carsley broke the deadlock for Everton in the 68th minute when Osman set up the Carsley and his curling shot from 20 yards beat Kirkland.

And seconds later Riise had to kick off the line from Cahill as Everton went for the kill.


I'm telling you..This is TEAM SPIRIT!! You have never really seen this sort of celebration..The spirit, the togetherness..


I did mention about some punches might be exchanged but not this time..It was just a little pushing and look at how dramatic Liverpool players were..Although i do admit that Big Dunc is probably just asking a little bit too much..I reckon that Moyes probably brought Big Dunc in to stir things a little..Strike fear into Liverpool and scare the shite out of them in broad day light..lol..Myself and my fellow Evertonians were simply giggling while watching this as there were a few Liverpool fans around as well..Oh well..


Need i say more? Big Dunc!! He has an Everton tattoo on his left arm and that tattoo speaks out loud!!

Everton is now SECOND on the table after Chelsea as Chelsea and Arsenal drew in a controversial 2-2 match..Everton second on the table and is a team well worthy for that position. This just goes to show what can happen when you've got 11 players willing to work for each other week in, week out..

Christmas came early for Everton..Have a Merry Blue Christmas.
