Arsenal LB Santos is ruled out, and so joins full backs Sagna, Gibbs and Jenkinson on the injured list.
If ever there was a time for some pace and attack down the Arsenal flanks, this is it. Got to harass Arteta and not let him have time and space, and a good hard volley on Walcott should shut him up. Lets see how well Heits knows RVP from international practice.

I would be happy with a draw against arsenal, they have played very well recently and we will have to up our game to get something from the game, i hope drenthe plays. Any news on how long rodders is out ed?

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - i would bite your hand off for a draw bez...rodders has a hamstring pull, hopefully only a week or two..

Team I wanna see face Arsenal:
-----------Howard------------
Neville--Jags---Distin--Baines
------------Fellaini------------
Coleman---------------Drenthe
-------Barkley-----Cahill-------
--------------Saha------------

I would start Hibbert, think he's had a decent season but I like the rest of the team

Ye i thought that at first but then when i had a good think hes gonna either be up against Gervinho or Walcott so i think Neville is the right man considering hes the only RB that can handle Gareth Bale

Top three Blues players of all time:
Neville Southall
Alan Ball
Trevor Steven

Worst...
Brett Angell
Bilyaletdinov
Tony Thomas

what do you think?

We cant be that harsh on Bily, he has played out of position for 2 years and when played in his natural role behind the striker, he has delivered the goods

Best...
Nev Southall
Dixie Dean
Alan Ball

Worst...
Mikel Madar
Per Kroldrup
Stuart Barlow

He's never played behind the striker for us?
Toffeeboy

Anichebe gotta be the number 1 worst player for me 1 goal in like 3 seasons. Is that right?

Surely Beattie should be in there as one of the worst

Elstone on transfer funds for january, "there is money within that existing budget to strengthen in january, is it asmuch as we would want it to be? Probably not! But there is something there which would see some tangibe improvements"

Ok so kenwright and elstone have both said money is availiable and moyes was saying he isnt sure? What the @#%& is going on? I think with elstones recent comments there is money to spend in january but not alot so we will hopefully see one permanent signing and a couple of loans! Whats your thoughts ed?

No rodders or osman on saturday so moyes should push cahill back in to midfield and stick vellious up to with saha or play bily in the hole!

The only hole I'd let Billy the lazy Russian play in would be the one that the council have dug down the road, I'd even throw them 20 quid to fill it in while he's in there! he's absolutely useless, there's more movement, pace and commitment in the corner flags at Goodison !!

I notice jags has been bemoaning that everton have no money bbc sport to improve squad and note vidic man u is out for season .note the great jags has 10 caps for england and every time we have established international they then end up at other clubs surely not beacause possible england dressing room tap ups but thats only my opinion But rooney lescott trevor stevens .gary steven .gary lineker even jeffers all left etc etc prob all coincidence ..anyway seems man u need a jags type player and then baines england left back will poss follow ..how many caps has rodwell got ..lets hope barclay stays uncapped for a while ..Great club Great fans keep going but this coincidence of always losing our england caps is worrying.any views on this u lovely blues ..tp

Howard
Neville (c) jags distin baines
Fellani
Coleman bily drenthe
Saha
Vellious

Or maybe rodwell intead of bily, but i just want to see how he is in a central role i think he would be more useful!
Might not have any money but that team oozes quality and pace! Looks alot more attacking than the s**t moyes sends out every week and all i did is drop hibbert,cahill and osman!
