Former Everton manager, Joe Royle speaking to me about Everton's Champions League ambitions.

Everton V West Ham

Everton captain Phil Jagielka has been ruled out for a fortnight with a hamstring injury so John Stones is likely to deputise in defence.
Romelu Lukaku returns after an ankle injury, but fellow striker Lacina Traore (hamstring) is out.
West Ham forward Andy Carroll is available after suspension.
Italian loanee Mario Borriello is struggling with a calf problem, but the Hammers are hopeful Guy Demel will be fit after a bout of tonsillitis.

Juan Mata is aloud to leave.

Will he be at Chelsea this time next month?

Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho has shocked the premier League and the rest of the European league's as he said Juan Mata can Leave Chelsea in January. I am surprised by this as his two seasons at Chelsea have been amazing. He has scored goals, great at set pieces and got assists. Jose Mourinho must be looking for a buyer for Mata abroad as if he sells him to top four/title challengers, Liverpool or Arsenal.
Mata has been left out for most of this season and this made Tottenham make a enquiry for the midfielder in The Summer transfer window that was rejected by Chelsea. There are many reports that Inter Milan want to buy him for a cut price of £12 million. What ever happens the teams got a bargain but mourinho I think you need to watch Mata to judge him.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all of our readers, and subscribers, It has been a incredible year within football, I hope it is even better next season.

I thought this may make you laugh, Tottenham new manager.

AVB sacked!

As I said last night Tottenham manager, Andre Villas Boas has been sacked as Tottenham manager. More details on the way.

AVB in big trouble, could he be sacked?

After today's embarrassing 5-0 defeat to Liverpool at White Hart Lane has put a lot of pressure on Tottenham Boss Andre Villas Boas.

How long will he be in that Tottenham chair?

Andre Villas Boas was very sad and angry about today's performance and with a 5-0 defeat at home to Champions League contenders Liverpool and a 6-0 away thrashing at Manchester City is raising questions of Andre Villas Boas and Daniel Levy who spent over £100 million in the summer transfer window. Today a Suarez double, Sterling, Flanagan and Henderson goals finished Tottenham who didn't even get a shot on target. This is also raising questions of £26 million Soldado, my opinion is if he has a chance he will score but Tottenham are not creating enough chances for him and I feel sorry for him. This season Tottenham has only scored 7 goals at home in the league and 15 overall in the league. This is really putting pressure on AVB as he refuses to play two strikers upfront in Defoe and Soldado. These are the next odds for the next Tottenham manager:
Michael Laudrop 7/1
Fabio Cappelo 11/2
Glen Hoddle 10/1
Luis Enrique 7/1
