That's going a little over board. :unsure:
 
Players

1. What is our best Centre half pairing?
Jagielka and Heitinga I'd imagine, they're definately our best individual center backs, both good enough to push for a starting place in any team in the country. I wouldn't worry about the lack of height relative to other center halves, they both compete adequately in the air and will have Fellaini sat in front of them most of the time. Yobo and Distin both have their uses and could be used when tactics require extra pace/strength/height.

2. Do we need to replace Howard?
I'm on the fence. He's fine and obviously committed to the club, but we could probably do better. Interested to see Mucha in the World Cup.

3. Should we sell Rodwell?
No.

4. Is Yak ever going to be the striker he was last 2 seasons?
I think he could be. Depends on circumstance. I think he's done well in the last two games.

5. Was Moyes right to let Vaughan go out on loan?
Yeah, I hope he stays there until the end of the season and gets a run of a dozen consecutive games or more. Could be the making of him.

6. Does Anichebe have the right attitude for the EPL?
Na, he's not a lost cause though. He'll never be our top striker but could become a useful third-or-fourth-choice, he already is really.

7. Can Arteta take a decent corner consistently?
Apparently not.

8. Best player at the club?
It's Fellaini, by a distance I think. He'll be unstoppable when he's back. Arteta is probably second. Pienaar, Jagielka and Heitinga are all good shouts for third.

Club

1. Is the club doing a good job off the field?
Very broad question this. I suppose not, really, though I'd say they're doing a better job than at least half of the rest of the premier league. Lots of clubs being badly managed these days.

2. Kenwright or Kenwrong?
Kenwright :D.

3. Moyes, good enough or lucky?
For ****'s sake. Much better than 'good enough'. An excellent manager, it'll be a travesty if he leaves us without ever winning a trophy. I fear he will though.

4. Chang? Is it worth it?
Don't really understand the question. Never seemed too pricey when I'm at the match. Don't know enough about the deal.

5. Do we need investment to get top 4?
No. It would hurry it along I'm sure, but Moyes is getting there. It's a real possibility for next year.

6. KEIOC? Good or bad for the club?
Tough one this. I'm actually going to say bad, as I feel that kind of group encourages the towing of a party line among the fan base which I find so annoying in our scarlet-clad neighbours.

7. Elstone? Is he doing a good job?
I can't really give an informed opinion. He appears to be doing ok to me.

8. Best thing you love about the club?
It's hard to put into words. Goodison is a big part of it, and me dad and me brother. Something about the shade of blue we wear. I really don't know. I'm sure many others here can empathise when I say there's just something intangible that makes watching Everton the most compelling spectacle on earth to the initiated few (though it's all just residual father-figure issues really).

Players

1. What is our best Centre half pairing? Jags and Johnny will prove to be
2. Do we need to replace Howard? Not really
3. Should we sell Rodwell?no
4. Is Yak ever going to be the striker he was last 2 seasons? can't see it unfortunately
5. Was Moyes right to let Vaughan go out on loan?yes
6. Does Anichebe have the right attitude for the EPL?no
7. Can Arteta take a decent corner consistently?no, he can take a [Poor language removed] one consistently though
8. Best player at the club?Pienlaar at the moment but I think someone else will prove to be better if we don't sell him, in fact Mo or Johnnie could also take over that mantle.

Club

1. Is the club doing a good job off the field?yes and no, obviously doing something right but then some things are cringeworthy
2. Kenwright or Kenwrong? KenBarlowsBoots
3. Moyes, good enough or lucky? Good enough.
4. Chang? Is it worth it? well it was obviously the best deal offered or we wouldn't have taken it, just cos it's not well known here doesn't mean it's a crap deal.
5. Do we need investment to get top 4?doesn't everyone ? including the top 4 ?
6. KEIOC? Good or bad for the club?Good for raising issues but full of their own self importance, and certainly not the fans representatives that they think they are, they don't ballot the fans to ask if what they are pushing is what they want
7. Elstone? Is he doing a good job?stadium issuewill overshadow anything he does
8. Best thing you love about the club?That it is Everton, and we are all Everton as well, I won't roll out the chosen line, but I don't remember any other option available, there was no multiple choice, handed down through generations from the first days, and now my kids get to sit where their ancestors once stood, and they love it.

2. Do we need to replace Howard? No, he needs competition though

5. Was Moyes right to let Vaughan go out on loan? Yes
6. Does Anichebe have the right attitude for the EPL? Depends on who you want to believe
7. Can Arteta take a decent corner consistently? Not in a million years, we need Langdon or Baines for that
8. Best player at the club? Arteta and Pienaar

Club

1. Is the club doing a good job off the field? Improving, slowly
2. Kenwright or Kenwrong? He's an Evertonian
3. Moyes, good enough or lucky? Walks on water, and brings and brings the dead back to life
4. Chang? Is it worth it? The beer or the sponsorship? Either not bad
5. Do we need investment to get top 4? Yes
6. KEIOC? Good or bad for the club? Poison
7. Elstone? Is he doing a good job? Beginning to put a human face on the club
8. Best thing you love about the club? Passion, a real football club

Ok, I will do mine later tonight. Thought it may be interesting to have a point of reference on how the fan perceive the team and the club.

Players

1. What is our best Centre half pairing?

Jags and Johnny.

2. Do we need to replace Howard?

Not right at the moment. A bit of competition would be welcomed though.

3. Should we sell Rodwell?

No. After the Lescott debacle, it would just send well and truly send the wrong message. I hope the lad has his head screwed on and knows that for the foreseeable future (and ideally, long-term) his home should be here.

4. Is Yak ever going to be the striker he was last 2 seasons?

I think he may have one more decent season but I can't see him being a lynchpin for us, no.

5. Was Moyes right to let Vaughan go out on loan?

From the view of getting him some experience, yes, but when Donovan was obviously going to leave, I'd disagree. Saha is injured too much, Yakubu needs a kick up the arse and Anichebe has barely played in the last year, albeit a great goal at the weekend.

6. Does Anichebe have the right attitude for the EPL?

Yes. I think next season however is a huge year for him.

7. Can Arteta take a decent corner consistently?

Hopefully one day.

8. Best player at the club?

Arteta. Class act.

Club

1. Is the club doing a good job off the field?

It's getting better, but it's not particularly great.

2. Kenwright or Kenwrong?

Kenwright.

3. Moyes, good enough or lucky?

Like any manager, we can question the odd decision but generally, he is brilliant.

4. Chang? Is it worth it?

No real opinion on this.

5. Do we need investment to get top 4?

Not so much to get us there, but yes to keep us there.

6. KEIOC? Good or bad for the club?

Democratically refreshing but seems to be doing more bad than good.

7. Elstone? Is he doing a good job?

I don't really know. He's doing alright.

8. Best thing you love about the club?

The fact that we are seen as a proper football club who do things right. I love the fact I often hear comments like "I wish we could follow the Everton path". The solidarity of the fans generally is also a great asset.

Players

1. What is our best Centre half pairing?
Jagielka-Heitinga

2. Do we need to replace Howard?
No, although he needs sompetition as every other player

3. Should we sell Rodwell?
No, although he is not untouchable and selling him for big money wouldn't be end of the world

4. Is Yak ever going to be the striker he was last 2 seasons?
Yes

5. Was Moyes right to let Vaughan go out on loan?
Yes

6. Does Anichebe have the right attitude for the EPL?
Yes, although question should be about his skills, you listen to much to Graeme Sharp. If he would have worrying atiitude issues, he would be gone already

7. Can Arteta take a decent corner consistently?
Yes, just like Billy or Baines. Some of us have unrealistic expectations from set pieces, it isn't FM and corners cheat world

8. Best player at the club?
Arteta

Club

1. Is the club doing a good job off the field?
Don't know

2. Kenwright or Kenwrong?
In the middle

3. Moyes, good enough or lucky?
Good

4. Chang? Is it worth it?
Don't know

5. Do we need investment to get top 4?
No

6. KEIOC? Good or bad for the club?
Don't know

7. Elstone? Is he doing a good job?
Don't know

8. Best thing you love about the club?
Goodison Park, this forum, Arteta, Yakubu, Moyes, Fellaini's afro.

Ok, I will do mine later tonight. Thought it may be interesting to have a point of reference on how the fan perceive the team and the club.

Don't really feel comfortable regarding questions from 2nd group, some things are tough to judge living far away from Goodison Park.
Very cool idea for topic though (y)

Players

1. What is our best Centre half pairing? Jags and Heitinger
2. Do we need to replace Howard? No way - several good years left
3. Should we sell Rodwell? If the price is right - none are untouchable
4. Is Yak ever going to be the striker he was last 2 seasons? Lazy? Yes
5. Was Moyes right to let Vaughan go out on loan? Yes - he needs time to prove he can be fit and he's 4th in line at Everton
6. Does Anichebe have the right attitude for the EPL? Not sure - think he needs a run of consistent play to see how he does / reacts
7. Can Arteta take a decent corner consistently? No
8. Best player at the club? Arteta

Club

1. Is the club doing a good job off the field? Seems good from where I sit - across the Atlantic. Leave this to the Scousers.
2. Kenwright or Kenwrong? Easy target but seems when Moyes has really needed the cash, it was found somewhere
3. Moyes, good enough or lucky? Good - nobody could be as lucky as Moyes has been good at Everton
4. Chang? Is it worth it? Why not? So Everton has to send injured players (Hibbert) to Thailand every once in a while for a skills camp... if you're asking if Everton could find a another sponsor with deeper pockets, maybe not. Better question: Le Coq Sportif - Is it worth it?
5. Do we need investment to get top 4? If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?
6. KEIOC? Good or bad for the club? Defer to the locals
7. Elstone? Is he doing a good job? Defer to the locals
8. Best thing you love about the club? Tx Bill said it best the other day - when I see someone in the States wearing an Everton jersey, I know they could tell me the starting lineup and how Everton did in their last match. Everton supporters are not casual or fashionable fans.

Ok, I will do mine later tonight. Thought it may be interesting to have a point of reference on how the fan perceive the team and the club.

Players

1. What is our best Centre half pairing?
Jagielka and Heitinga have the potential to be a world class pairing.
2. Do we need to replace Howard?
No but Mucha needs to have a chance to show he's real competition.
3. Should we sell Rodwell?
Not unless the offer is absolutely stupid. We can accomodate what he will hopefully become now.
4. Is Yak ever going to be the striker he was last 2 seasons?
I hope so. He can still our best linking centre forward.
5. Was Moyes right to let Vaughan go out on loan?
Yes
6. Does Anichebe have the right attitude for the EPL?
Yes. I think Vic has a future with us.
7. Can Arteta take a decent corner consistently?
No, sadly neither can anyone else.
8. Best player at the club?
Right this minute Arteta. Next year I expect Fellaini and Rodwell to step up again.

Club

1. Is the club doing a good job off the field?
Need to improve in some areas.
2. Kenwright or Kenwrong?
Has his faults, but it's Kenwright and the slow road until a better option is really presented.
3. Moyes, good enough or lucky?
We will win something with him. He's assembled the squad for a real domestic challenge next season if we just keep what we have and could add maybe one.
4. Chang? Is it worth it?
Not compared to other deals. Should approach an American sponsor if we sign Landon.
5. Do we need investment to get top 4?
No. But to be there consistently yes.
6. KEIOC? Good or bad for the club?
Indifferent now.
7. Elstone? Is he doing a good job?
He's doing ok.
8. Best thing you love about the club?
The supporters.
