Greg O'Keefe

ECHO reporter and Everton fan Greg O'Keeffe was six when the Blues last won the title. But with a European tour on the horizon and another season of drama at Goodison Park, he is a determined optimist.

ARTETA, SÓLO MARQUE POR FAVOR

Posted by Greg O'Keeffe on January 31, 2008 9:48 AM

HE WORKS himself into the best attacking positions with breath-taking skills and poise.
He leaves full-backs in tangles and glides past centre-halves like a matador.
But will he shoot? Will he sh*te?

SEMI-FINAL AND SKY

Posted by Greg O'Keeffe on January 25, 2008 9:51 AM

IT’S been a while since I’ve felt so utterly deflated after an Everton game.
Before kick-off I was a bad cliche, sat there going through every possible combination of outcomes in my head.

THE BEST LITTLE BANNER I'VE SEEN

Posted by Greg O'Keeffe on January 23, 2008 11:37 AM

GWLAD Tidings designer Tom Regan travelled to Barcelona with his lads Thomas and Christopher to take in the Barca v Racing game on Sunday.
He took this quality flag with him, helpfully translated by Sky Sports La Liga fella Guillem Balague.
The Sky sports cameras panned to it during the game and the Barca fans loved it - although we opted for straight Spanish instead of Catalan.
Tom said that a few of the Spanish lads even knew the words to 'Follow, follow, follow......'
Hope Mikel does us proud tonight.
Come on you blues!

BLUE AND PROUD IN CAMP NOU

CHELSEA

Posted by Greg O'Keeffe on January 22, 2008 10:07 AM

I HOPE it’s freezing cold at Goodison tomorrow. Cold enough so you can see your breath while the team’s warm-up.
I hope the noise builds from very early on and then the roar to Z-Cars lights a fire in Royal Blue bellies and lends extra chill to those in neon.

QUESTION - updated

Posted by Greg O'Keeffe on January 18, 2008 9:53 AM

HERE'S one which whiled away half an hour in the Clock after the Oldham game.

Name eight Everton players since 1980 whose surname begins with 'G'.

Winner gets a manky and unwashed Nigerian training top which once allegedly belonged to Joey Yobo. Don't ask....

Answers on a comment.

WINNER - It was a close one, with Lee S pipping Ireland's finest Robin Byrne to the post.
As Lee points out there are actually 9.

They are;

John Gidman,
David Ginola,
Andy Gray,
Tommy Gravesen,
Paul Gerrard,
Tony Grant,
Richard Gough,
Paul Gascoigne,
Scott Gemmill

Lee if you actually want the manky Yobo top then e-mail me your address at grego'keeffe@liverpoolecho.co.uk and I'll send it. Nice one.

GOODISON

Posted by Greg O'Keeffe on January 15, 2008 11:27 AM

ARSENE Wenger wasn’t flavour of the month in Royal Blue quarters after his stubborn and inaccurate verdict on the recent game at Goodison.
Despite the 4-1 scoreline most neutrals understood that for large parts of the contest Everton were equal to the Gunners.

AJ’s CELEBRATION - SOLVED

Posted by Greg O'Keeffe on January 3, 2008 9:44 AM

GOD bless the Daily Star.
Not only do they keep the nation’s 18 to 25-year-olds abreast of the world’s gilt-edged news, now they have even solved a genuine footballing mystery.
And who’d have guessed....it actually casts Premier League players in a good light.
