Tim Tim out

The headline probably would've been more apt had Tim Howard also been set to miss the opening game against Blackburn.


He isn't…but there's still time.


No, the headline was just an attempt at a pun on the name of shit 90's electronic act/producers Tin Tin out who released that crap version of The Sundays' 'Here's where the story ends' as well as remixing a couple of The Corrs records. Awful.


Anyway, Tim Cahill…although the operation on his foot was a success, he's still not been given the nod to start jogging, so it looks like this could be a long rehabilitation process.


The good news coming from the club though is that Mikel Arteta is back in full training after his abdominals were operated on at the back end of last season.


The Basque beauty could even make his comeback in the game at Cambridge over the weekend.


Back to the bad news scenario, possibly, as it looks like Everton have been priced out of any move for Galatasaray's Mehmet Topal.


It was thought that the Turkish international was in the frame to fill in, what has now become officially known as, 'the Lee Carsley role' but the asking price of £12 million looks like it's enough to cool Everton's interest.


And now onto the simply inane…has anyone seen that article on the official site about how easy Joleon Lescott is finding Everton's e-ticketing system?


What is the point of this article...it's almost as pointless as this one!

Why would Lescott need to go online, or anywhere for that matter, to buy Everton tickets?


Or is it simply the club saying that if some biff like a professional footballer can buy tickets online then it must be easy?


And finally, I'm turning into Ronnie Corbett, though Lyle & Scott has become a bit passé, Joseph Yobo's brother has been released by his captors and is at home with his family.


It's rumoured that his kidnappers were holding him hostage with a £5 million ransom demand but Everton were only prepared to stretch as far as offering them £3 million and Andy van der Meyde.


Thank you and it's goodnight from me…
Corr...not half!
