So there i was, minding my own business, getting my weekly massage from my lovely lady, Ms Elisha Cuthbert, when my phone starts ringing. After a quick joke about 'its not the only thing that will be vibrating after this massage' i answer it. To my disbelief is none other than swarn enemy to any team but his own, David Gill. Now, many managers and fans have rang to tell me what such a great job i was doing at Spurs, but never another teams board member, so i listened contently to what he had to say.

Quote:
'Sir Rick, it's David Gill, i can't talk too loud there are outsiders in the room and this information is confidential so just listen. Some maniac American named Glazer is trying to take over the club which is going to see us plumit into massive debt. If he gains control, the fans will no longer have a say on the running of the club and, as i know your a fan, i know your going to feel strongly about this, which is why i've rang.'
Quite bedazzled by the previous statement, i asked how i could be of service...

Quote:
'I'm glad you asked, there are 2 options. Option 1 would see you plough your millions earnt being 1 of the greatest managers ever to walk the earth, your multi-million pound contract with durex condoms and flogging that Inter-Toto cup of yours, to take over the club instead of that muppet.'
I thought to myself, 'Without that durex deal, how am i going to make love to Elisha, she's afraid of pills.' So i had to ask what option 2 was.....

Quote:
'Option 2 Sir Rick is a massive sacrifice. It would mean you taking charge of the team as a replacement for Rafa Benetez, who has failed to live up to expectations. You would then have 1 season to sort the club out and raise its stock value, thus meaning Glazer would have to lend an even bigger amount of cash which is already at its limit. Our only hope then is the tribunal comittee look at the figures and reject his claim. The choice, is yours.'
Well, that was rather unexpected obviously, so i told David i'd ring him back in an hour. Feeling stressed, i relieved some pressure all over Elisha and, with her lying in my arms (obviously she'd tissued herself down' i rang David back and told him i'd be taking option 2, and therefore taking over the managerial position at Manchester United.

I hear your about to get sacked at spurs and are willing to work for peanuts added to all that Glazer is trying to buy our club
Quite still a little drunk and confused by the previous statement, I asked how I could be of service...

I thought to myself I took Blackburn down why not take Manchester United down as well.

Well, that was rather unexpected obviously, so I told David I’d ring him back in an hour. Feeling stressed, I relieved some pressure my magazine of pictures of David Beckham and I rang David back and told him I’d take the job.

Everton Top Toffees in England once again.

Everton continue to press home their claims to the title with an impressive run of eight wins on the trot and a highly entertaining draw away at Old Trafford leaves the Toffees top of the table on 25 points. Manchester United have a couple of games in hand and Chelsea also have one game in hand but they still need to bag the points and the pressure switches to Boult and King to see if they can respond. This season's Premiership is shaping up to be the greatest yet as apart from the three clubs mentioned, Sam's Aston Villa, Wenger's Arsenal and indeed Andy's Portsmouth in 6th place still look like credible challengers.

The run continued with a few tricky away games.

Newcastle 0 - 2 Everton

With Mark D'Ardenne absent, maybe never to return and who knows but the man himself, an Everton victory was going to push the insecure Geordies boss closer to the sack which was an interesting side show to Murphy's main concern of grabbing the three points to keep up the push for top spot. On the day Newcastle started with £100K a week man Pablo Aimar running the show from his attacking mid position but the Geordies lacked a clinical edge to their play. Everton soon took control of the game as Pedretti imposed himself on the Argentine and once we went into the lead Newcastle never looked like getting back into the game. A second goal rounding off a good Everton performance as the boos echoed around St James' Park. A lovely sound.

Everton 2 - 0 Blackburn Rovers

With Leo Hardy AWOL, his Blackburn side went down at Goodison with ex-Evertonian Kasper Schmeichel unable to prevent a Blackburn own goal giving Everton the lead. A second goal before half time finished the game as a contest.

Bolton 1 - 3 Everton

Bolton may be consistent strugglers in the Premiership but always provide a tough game at the Reebok and this one was no different as the goal of the month winner for September from Phil Conner flashed past Isaksson to put Bolton ahead. However, Everton were able to come back from this setback and record a 3-1 win which in the end was a well deserved victory.

Everton 2 - 0 Liverpool

The Toffees leave it late in a tight game against rivals Liverpool. Two goals in the last 11 minutes, from Petrov and Burzanovic, see Everton re-affirm themselves as the top team in Merseyside.

Manchester United 2 - 2 Everton

With Rick Boult firmly in position as the new Manchester United gaffer and starting off with comprehensive victory over Ben's Middlesbrough at Old Trafford and a win at Pagi's Charlton Athletic, Manchester United have now to be counted as genuine challengers for the title once again. With an awesome attacking trio of Rooney, E'too and Ronaldinho, backed up with midfield steel and flair from Smylie and Baptista, Boult was confident before the game and anticipating a Man Utd victory. Murphy, playing it coyly in the press responded classily with a simple "we'll see on the day" and it was the Everton manager who was the man to call it right.

Knowing that a point would be a good result, Murphy employed his "goat buster" tactic and pushed Kasper Bogelund onto Ronaldinho and Anthony Revelliere onto Wayne Rooney thus attempting to stifle Man Utd's game plan which is largely dependent on width. The game kicked off and immediately it was Alberto Gilardino making an impact - having the strength to see off the Man Utd challenges to fire an unstoppable effort into the roof of the far corner of the net. What a start and quite simply stunning brilliance from the Italian striker against his old club who discarded his talents so wastefully. However, it was long before Boult had a stroke of luck - as after only eight minutes, Everton's rock of a left back Antony Reveillere was injured requiring an Everton defensive reshuffle. In response, Nigel De Jong was moved from his central defensive pairing with Matel Radoi to left back and Werner Wolf came into the central defensive position. Unfortunately for Everton, Wolf was short of match practice and his slack defending from the German U21 international allowed E'too to get in and grab an equaliser. 1-1 and Utd were starting to call the shots as you would expect from the home team.

However, Everton's genius in the midfield was having none of it and in the second half up stepped Kim Kallstrom to fire home an unstoppable shot from range, beating Rensing in the Utd goal all ends up. YESSSSSSSS.....However, further disaster was to hit the Everton side as another injury saw the lads having to face the United onslaught with 10 men for the final minutes. As Murphy tried to shore up the lead, United attacked us and with Everton having no striker on the field we just couldn't get out of our own half. The match had definitely swung Boult's way and with 7 minutes left the inevitable equaliser arrived from the boot of E'too once more, the Cameroon international reclaiming his worth as one of the EPL's most lethal strikers. At this stage, Murphy just wanted to hear the final whistle and eventually the ref blew up after the normal "Man U aren't winning" added on time eventually elapsed half an hour later.

After the game Murphy enthused:

Quote:
I'm very pleased with my teams performance here today. To get any sort of a result at Old Trafford you have to be defensively disciplined, have an outstanding work ethic and indeed have the flair and ability to take your chances. And sometimes that isn't even enough as United's first eleven is full of outstanding players. Today, with a little more fortune we would have taken all three points but injuries have hampered our ability to do that. All in all though, I congratulate my players from Isaksson to the front men for taking a point here today and maintaining our unbeaten run. Having played most of the top six now and not lost to any of them, we see nothing to fear from the opposition this year. We have a great chance of winning the league.
