worst thing that could happen to evertonfc

marlonpatten..... so you not going to put CAHILL in­ your team for next season then?
COYB!

Horrible. I got this injury before and it is depressing­ and painful to heal. He'll be back next year,­ better and stronger. I think Everton is the surprise of­ this season. They play good and are not scared. And I­ am no Everton supporter.

Nolan is a disgrace, I read today that he has the most­ sending offs in the history of the premiership , and­ has been booked 10 times this season already. A 3 game­ ban is not enough for this kind of two footed assault­ called `a tackle`. He could have easily ended the­ career of Victor Anichebe and his apology does not­ change this fact. So easy to say sorry, not so easy to­ become a decent pro and cut this type of 2 footed lunge­ out of his game. Hope that Anichebe recovers and­ continues to prosper.

I'm completely stunned by the Arteta news but­ we're no longer a one man team, we still have a­ midfield of Cahill, Fellaini, Osman, Pienaar and­ Neville a terrific 5 man midfield couple that with the­ capabilities of Rodwell and Gosling plus the potential­ greatness of AVD (i won't mention Castillo lol).­ Its not all doom and gloom lets push on for top 5 and­ next season with all players fit and signing Jo i­ don't think we'll need to sign many more to be­ a proper force, next years team Howard, Hibbert,­ Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Neville, Arteta, Pienaar,­ Fellaini, Osman and Yakubu . On the bench will be Jo,­ Gosling, Rodwell, Yobo and Vaughan , i don't think­ any team will fancy that challenge. COYB!!

Macca_tatts I totally agree. Nolan must think a two­ footed stamp will get him that "dream" move­ to his boyhood team. Let's face it he only did a­ Gerrard but the ref gave the decision he didn't­ wait for a panel to decide it was assault. For that is­ what it was.

why does he have to be out ANYWAY WE GOT JO BACK­ WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:):):):)

Nolan's tackle was a disgrace, the apology is about­ as genuine as Liverpool's title challenge. Watch­ what he was like before and after the red card.­ Pleading innocence and making out it was Anichebe who­ was faking it.
Loss of Arteta a massive blow but if­ the team galvanise and go into dog's of war mode­ they'll still be challenging for a European place­ and the FA cup. It was the dog's of war that won it­ in 95 so why not this year.

its getting alarming at the kind of tackles one sees of­ late in the EPL.i dont think the primary aim of any­ player is to end the career of his fellow player,but i­ am beginning to feel so.Players like marco van Bastern­ and oleguner soljeir just to mention a few could have­ had wonderful footballing years if not for injuries­ inflicted conciously sometimes by fellow players.the­ governing authorities need to come down @#$% such­ culprits and punishment ranging from outter most ban or­ ban footballers until the players they injured­ returns.sometimes u can see the intent behind some­ tackles when watching from afar and wonder if those­ player is in the right sport or career.its a shame for­ people to conceive evil intensions about their fellow­ 'human' players and execute such intensions on­ the field of play.this is not to say there are not­ genuine mistakes in terms of tackling but sometimes one­ can easily tell the motive behind such tackles.its a­ shame Nolan, wish i could tell u more

Saying sorry makes it OK then Nolan!!!! I think not.­ Nolan should be ashamed of himself. That tackle­ deserves a lengthy ban and a massive loss of wages.­ Anichebe is very lucky and there is no place in­ football for tackles like that whether Nolan meant it­ or not. Arteta is one of the best playmakers in the­ EPL. His creativity and goals will be badly missed and­ could cost Everton a place in Europe.

poor pooooooooor Arteta :(:(...He's Really The­ Heart OF this Team ....And Now The heart Has Stopped

Mikel will be missed, but as we are not a one man team­ the rest will stand and be counted, nolan should have a­ long ban to give other players from other teams a­ chance of not being crippled, nolan...your a useless­ talantless hack

hey @21 its because Arteta is a near world class player­ and if everton didnt want somebody getting injured it­ would defo be him. Anichebe is good but a long way off­ of Artetas quality. bad news for the toffees he has­ always been instrumental for you, especially when your­ doing so well this is a major blow. Nolans tackle was­ disgraceful and to try and look innocent afterwards is­ awful, he should hand his head in shame

this was such a sick challenge that i was angered­ watching it. especially his @#$% reaction. but then­ we've seen career ending challenges from bone-head­ nolan before. what a scum bag for doing it - total and­ utter scum bag. i don't give a monkeys if he was­ waiting in the tunnel to apologise, would have been too­ late had he destroyed the lads leg which he was lucky­ not too. i genuinely hope that something occurs to him­ very soon to stop him playing football again -­ preferably a horrendous leg injury. sick.

Kevin Nolan tackle was on Anichebe and all attention­ was on Arteta??? This is crazyy. Does it mean Anichebe­ isnt human or what? English Press Should wakeup cos­ they re full of Shyt. Am sorry to write it but its­ true.

I've come to realise that 98% of English press re­ Man UTD fans... if not the likes of Steven Gerrard,­ Fernando Torres, Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, John­ Terry, Frank Lampard, Gabriel Agbonlahor, Gareth Barry,­ Mikel Arteta, Tim Cahill etc should ve gotten better­ publicity then the likes of some Man utd over rated­ players. Example, Ex Man utd player "Beckham helps­ Milan beat Cagliari" as if he was the only player­ on the field. Gunners for Life

shame about arteta,he is our best playmaker on the­ pitch..but hey.......enter jack rodwell..

thanks skunks, buch of thugs..hope ye go down.
