just a quick posting really, think I covered about how covered in bruises I am, well fell down the stairs this morning from top to bottom. It was Paddy's first day off in months and thought he might have been awoken from his pit but he never came to my asistance, so he either thought there she goes again or never heard me.
Something very exciting connected with the blues could be happening for me and peter later on today... I don't want to divulge, if It comes off all will be told at the weekend, I am a superstitious girl and am worried if I say then it won't come off.
Went to Tesco at 10.30 last night,finding the new Old Swan Tesco just a bit too handy for wasting money and bought a top CD "Best Band Ever" lots of good tunes, and ended up missing the "Sopranoes" thanks God for E4 repeating stuff. Another Good programme is "Six Foot Under" but have lost track a bit with being away in America.
Anyway a special dedication to my mate Ged, who will be at his last game for 4 months tomorrow. He has a season ticket next to me in the St End, and is travelling round the world for 4 months to all sorts of exotic locations, Austrailia, LA and Singapore etc. Good luck to him and Sam (no connection his girlie called Sam also). Going for a few pre and post match drinks although not too many as Ged has early start and Peter starts his Coaching course on Sunday and I have a possible trip to Nottingham Sunday later on to see Oasis.... watch this space

wow, what a night last night was. The poor old woman next door will think murder was being commited. Paddy downstairs screaming at the radio and me and peter on the upstairs radio with Peter telling me to turn it off every two seconds, me putting it back on and inbetween shouting down the stairs to Paddy etc etc. We ended up in the next round of the Worthington Cup after a penatly shootout, a disallowed Wayne Rooney goal which ended up with a penalty and an own goal from what I must say has become an even madder looked Pistone than before and a Kevin Campbell goal in the first 10 minutes. I thought I was going to have a heart attack - was shaking like a leaf by the time we had got to the end of the game.
I must comment now on the Rooney supersition I have. Every football fan has their superstitions... well, I've had a few in my time which included getting to the ground at 1.30 when the st end was standing only and having to have a cheese barm, also brushing my teeth just before I left the house before the game... loads of them. My latest one is my "Rooney Shoes". A pair of Nike trainers I got in America and wore to the Arsenal game, yes, Rooney scored first premiership goal, 2nd time of wearing them was Leeds Rooney scored 2nd premiership goal and last night when we were loosing I got changed and put them on and yes, he scored a third albeit disallowed but he did get a penalty and scored in the shootout! So, they will be getting worn on Saturday too!!!

sorry, the pub by Highbury is " The Drayton" and here is a link to Kieran's blog

I am seriously guilty of abandoning my blog since last week, but have had internet connection problems at home. Anyway, my blog is now back, up and running.. apologies
Well, I don't really need to mention how good stuff is for life as an Evertonian at the moment! Absolutely wonderful thanks to a great win - (which took us 51yrs) at Leeds on Sunday. I still have the bruises to prove how mad stuff went when he scored.(need I mention his name?" Had a nice journey up there, we drove up on Sunday morning and anybody who knows me will know how much crap I eat, but sampled the delights of Burger King Leeds!! Not as nice as Florida but a girl can't complain. Anyway on the pub score, a few pubs round the ground, went to one with salt in the title was'nt really impressed with it there and then tried to get into the Old Peacock, but they stopped any Blues going in because they were singing.. it is like this at every away ground when we are away.. just follow the noise and you will find a pub with a load of blues in.. The best I have been so far in away pubs is the Cap and Gown by Aston Villa - it was so packed in here I could'nt move my arms and went into the ground smelling of Stella and a pub by Highbury (if I remember the name Kieran Lamb who has his own blog and is a gooner bless him put a link on from his to mine to his will be well impressed). Me and Peter went there for my 30th in May on the day they lifted the Premiership title trophy and had a great time with the Arsenal fans who we owe a debt too for Michael Thomas stopping the other team in this city winning the league in 1988. On the subject of this, there is a great book and film by Nick Hornby called Fever Pitch which tells the tale, its really good.
Anyway back to Leeds, we had a great view of the pitch and was impressed with the team especially David Unsworth and Radinski although I panicked to hear Alan Stubbs was back and Moyes picked him over Weir but I suppose a bit of competition is what Moyes is trying to install. Click here for the When skies are grey match report. We did'nt get home until later, mainly we wanted to celebrate and also we went to view Paddy's (my brother) mates Penthouse. Now I remember Tony when he was at school and he is an exiled Blue in Leeds, whom got relocated and was lucky enough to get an absolute brilliant flat, think of our Dock appartments in Liverpool and you will get the right idea. It just seems really strange for my little brothers mate to be living in a penthouse flat!! We then went to another pub were the previous night there were a load of bikers! Paddy was joking about my Parka saying they would think I was mod! Luckily the bikers were not there but it was very pleasant.One thing annoyed me and that was on talksport I felt Everton got no credit for how well they played and it was mainly Leeds fans saying how poor the team was etc and Veneables had to go, they are very upset over Bowyer but I don't understand why.. he was going to sign for Liverpool in the Summer and yet they are adament that he loves Leeds and wants to play and that it is Veneables keeping him out of the team.
I could'nt sleep on Sunday night despite being exhaused I kept re-living the game in my head over and over again, especially the goal. and I just can't believe how well we have been doing. To be 6th in the table is great, to have a wonderkid like Rooney is even better, and David Moyes could do no wrong at the moment - things are looking up!!
On to other matters, was disapointed that "The Office" has finished - I definately thought Tim and Dawn would get together and also, I am certain there will be another series.... I think David's pleading may have give him another chance. Off now to ring my exiled friend Nikki who is suprise suprise a blue but living in Spain for a year as part of her Degree!! I will be gloating about seeing Rooney's goal in person!!!
