Aston Villa Preview

The day is almost upon us when a section of our support transmogrify into a fully blown, self important, living and breathing Kopite, after all, ''Its Time For Change, Its Time For Protest...''. Its at this point they all don the extra large Tesco Tee's and make that noise that the Winkie Guards make in The Wizard Of Oz: ''OHHH WEEE OH, OHHHHH OH....'', hold hands and walk from The Spellow to the ground together, all 42 yards of it.
  GET OUT OF OUR CLUB!


Its interesting to see the goalposts shifting with each weeks protest from The Blue Union, they're settling for better dialogue with fans and an interim board being appointed to find a buyer for the club now (rightly scoffed at by the Clubs Chief Exec yesterday), after receiving deserved short shrift and suspicion from the majority of Evertonian observers. Good luck to them and their ''campaign'' and all that, but the whole damn charade is getting ever more toe curling as each public statement is released, not to mention having more than a faint whiff of ''birthright Kopite-ism '' and pre-pubescent B.O. lingering around its members/followers/believers. STANDING ROOM ONLY, they cried! If you are convinced this board is doing wrong by the club and its motto and you vehemently disapprove of their actions, the only way to protest, is to stop giving them your money, don't buy the shirt, don't buy a programme, don't buy a pint, don't go the match. Otherwise you just look like a gratuitously militant blowhard. 


Onto the football. In terms of players available for the Villa game, its looking a wee bit threadbare up top when after some may say Moyes hastily spinning Yakubu and Beckford last week, Victor Anichebe has gone and got injured for Nigeria on the international break too and will be out till christmas, the poor fucker just cant get anything right. No doubt it will be another incident to lampoon Everton's resident Jonah wholeheartedly with when he next pulls on the shirt.

Expect then a 'sooner than probably what David Moyes would have wanted' debut from Denis Stracqualursi or ''STRACA'' as he seems to be getting scouse-ily monikered, because Louis Saha will be tweeting from his mystery virus sick bed, cheers Louis, if ever i need somebody beside me in the trenches mate, ill tweet you and see if you're available. Villa will probably welcome back Darren Bent from injury, who just like Mark Bright or someone else from days of yore, just fucking loves playing against us.The clinical bastard. There was also a scare on international duty for Leighton Baines who was feared to be missing for the game, but that seems to have passed so we may see him and new boy ''R.R.DRENTHE''(me neither) tear-arsing down the left gamely together. WHOOSH!





It'll no doubt be a twat of game. They usually are against these and the Villa fans will crank up the banter to defcon level one million pre/post and during the proceedings, but our new arrivals will bring a sense of intrigue and hope to the minds of those still swilling sweet nectar on their gullets at 2pm, rather than stamping their feet impatiently on Goodison road demanding ''stuff!''. We could have done with pulling together on this one, but lines are being drawn in the sand and the divisions will start to bear their disruptive fruit.


Hopefully the management team and the players can ignore the plight of The Blue Union and its website plugging doomsmiths and concentrate on winning football matches and going home to their surgically enhanced wives and girlfriends to count their dough in their Scrooge McDuck money vaults.


Up the fucking Toffees.
