Everton have money to spend, but just coz they haven’t follwed other sides in splashing out don’t mean we won’t buy. citeh and pompey are held to ransom coz it is common knowledge they have money to burn

DM knows he needs to replace Super Lee and probably AJ eventually, along with 3-4 decent signings, Moyes is just biding his time

Man U
Liverpool
Chelsea
Everton
Arsenal

No need to following my predictions further down the table, the Big 5 are now streets ahead. I predict Pompey anohter fine season though.

I will make sure I watch you guys a lot more next season, and if you play some nice stuff I'll be the first to say well done.

I almost fell off my chair laughing at that one. Long Ball ?!? Osman. Pienaar and Arteta. There are three names that if you knew anything about them would shout out - that we don't play "Long Ball". We actually play a mixed-direct and passing game. The Yak wouldn't have scored 20 goals last season on long ball. He likes balls to feet at the edge of the box, and crosses both to feet and headers. Cahill is the same. We only play long balls as the opposition defenders begin to look shakey (Bramble anyone or when they're flagging - you did with 3 of the Arsenal goals in January, and as someone whom was actually at the Arsenal game, 1-4 flattered to deceive really). Two were defensive errors from our lads..... recall from "one of the best defenses in the country" Also recommend you see our goal of the season against Larrisa (the team that knocked out Blackburn) in the UEFA Cup, where it wasn't exactly "LONG BALL". Also recall, we beat Zenit St Petersburg the eventual winners of said cup. Darren, you're showing how alot of people don't quite know the full story at Everton. Moyes has changed our style of play from the 1990's. And we know we have players people would love to have in their side. Just like Wenger came sniffing after Arteta at the start of the summer.... “To be honest, I didn’t watch that many, but the ones I did see it was long ball after ball, yes I know your all going to crucify me, but watching Everton is like watching a Championship side sometimes.”

For the record, I'm not a Villa fan, I'm an Arsenal fan, 1-4 say no more. I think Moyes is quality, he has turned you guys into a decent side, and I'm surprised no one else has come in for him, maybe because they are scared of him, he does look a bit hard! You board deserve lots of credit for keeping with him.

How many Everton games did you watch last season? We demolished Sunderland at home 7-1. Destroyed Fulham at home. Pummelled Newcastle at home. But for your (Villa) flukey equaliser we'd have beaten you too, with a weakened side (Mikel Arteta injured and Cahill out). I could go on and on and on! We only lost to Man United narrowly both games.... Infact the only team I thought out played us were Chelski's Zillionare mercenaries. The number of refereeing decisions according to www.rightresult.net meant we surely should have been closer to the RS than the league showed. Blackburn and the offside trap anyone?!? Anyway. We'll be seeing who comes where when the new season starts. IN MOYES WE TRUST. Come on you blues!

If they sign a decent center forward then I feel they are strong enough to finish above Everton, and with ease. I even think Pompey are looking good too, they are like Everton but play much better football. Diara is quality, we should have never let him go. Man United Arsenal Chelsea Liverpool Villa Portsmouth Everton there you go, my early predictions Villa are only 2 players short of being a quality side, Ashley Young was different class last season, 16 assists speaks for itself.

Man United
Arsenal
Chelsea
Liverpool
Villa
Portsmouth
Everton

there you go, my early predictions

The blues will strengthen the much needed midfield with the likes of Fernandes back, Fletcher and two others. Arteta is now nearly at full fitness and is a better & more influential midfielder than any of the other challengers can boast ( modric included ).
