Shandy comes clean on Everton demise

“I saw a brunette and I wanted to have sex with her. But after I'd had sex with Lisa once I was addicted, she was wild, crazy and horny.”

Yah, for sure Andy, for sure!

I had to re-read it in a Dutchhh accshcennt too.

I agree, Chris. Reads a little like the Andre Agassi book where everyone else is at fault but him.

Does seem like a good, trashy, airport read though!

I hope it doesn't sell a single copy!

We should have done exactly what Chelsea did with Adrian Mutu ... sacked him and sued him for his transfer fee.

Why is it that that kind of behaviour in any other walk of life gets you sacked but footballers just carry on picking up their wages each month?

However, that was a really nice cross to Gosling.

One more thought — this may have given us a bit of insight into Moyes's lack of tolerance for Drenthe's shenanigans last year. After his experience with VDM, he wasn't going to cut Drenthe any slack.

Pip has his critics but Andy Pandy still seems to not really understand that he was the tool and in no position to criticise anybody. A boycott of his new book.

On balance money well spent then!! :)

Pip, Moyes's pet.. Never! Good to know he throttles the players if required.

ps: Pip and Ossie played a blinder yesterday.

Reminds me of the woman who gets a headstone inscribed for her dead husband, asking for the inscription "Lord, he was thine". She calls the mason to complain (in thick Yorkshire accent): "You've written 'Lord, he was thin' You've missed off the 'e'.

Headstone comes back next week (with a thick Yorks accent): "E, lord, he was thin".

My coats already on...

"Best of all", writes this in an autobiography. WTF?

Now he is gong for his coaching badge.

"L" , that is, IMHO, a total LOSER!

I'm quite sure there will be lines and lines of clubs really interested in having him as their manager. What a joke!

No way should anyone fall for the bollocks about his daughter when he was pissed up and coked up most of the time.

It's embarrassing our club has an association with such a bellend.

Even more bizarrely Peter Thistle above seems to think this is a reasonable standpoint.

The only thing that made me chuckle a bit was apparently the increase to £30k a week meant he could now fund a lifestyle of drink and Class A drugs – because well, you know, you simply can't afford a pint on £15k a week, can you? Clearly Everton offering this money was entirely the reason he went off the rails.

What an absolute tosser.

And how could someone criticize Neville in this? A guy on his team is going against team rules, most likely negative affecting morale, it is the captains job to report it to the manager.

Is this just another example of our supreme incompetance . How on earth could we lose 6 million quid and make no effort to get it back - when on the face of it there were good solid grounds to sue !
Beggars belief

However, Lee Carsley had a sick child too but it never stopped him doing his job and pulling his tripe out for the club every week.

I know we are all different and can react in different ways to these things, but whereas Lee Carsley chose to carry on and get stuck in, VDM chose to opt out and go on a binge. That was his decision nobody else's.

However, I am very lucky that I do not know what it's like to be an addict but I have a family member who is and he is not the same person when on 'the stuff.' That does not give him any excuse but I see the hell that he puts himself through - and he sees what he puts the family through but he still can't stop. He's an addict.

If you have a sick child and would sacrifice helping flesh and blood for drugs, booze, women - you have a serious, serious problem. One that can only be understood if you are wearing his shoes. I guess my point is that he has hit rock bottom - broken marriage, lust child, drug addiction, career lost. Can we not just turn the page? Are we all that perfect that we feel the need to (still) hurl this much hate toward this fellow? He did wear our Blue shirt.

If it is true and he has really changed and wants to give something back - sometimes these 'reinvented' castaways can be the best teachers of what NOT to do.

Maradona would have been outstanding playing on a crutch, with one good eye and carrying a cocaine drip. Special case there I think.

After reading this article by that pile of shit called Andy vdM I come to the following conclusions:

(1) It’s ironic that a Dutchman has to come to a City in the north of England to get coked up.

(2) The guy is a complete and utter knobhead!

(3) Anyone who blames everyone else for such destructive actions, is a total and complete utter knobhead!!

(4) Anyone who can't work because they are concerned about a loved one (his daughter in this case) yet can shove cocaine up their nose and alcohol down their throat 7 days a week should be totally and utterly ashamed of themselves. (I feel very sorry for his daughter; I just hope he’s not exaggerating her condition to gain pity for himself.)

(5) My respect for David Moyes had gone up. He should have picked AvdM up by the throat when he had the chance, and thrown him out of the club gates after refusing to train.

We don’t need people like AvdM at Everton football club and I for one applaud David Moyes's actions here.
