THE MATT LAWTON INTERVIEWJoleon Lescott has finally answered back. Finally responded to the accusations that were levelled at him by David Moyes; the reasons Everton's manager gave for freezing him out in his last few days at Goodison Park. Bad attitude, poor work rate, big-time Charlie. When Moyes watched his side lose 6-1 to Arsenal in that first game of the Barclays Premier League campaign, he said Lescott had let down his team-mates. A man of principle, Lescott has also had his say about the way the evidence he gave against Emre, then at Newcastle, was treated by the independent FA commissionthat investigated those allegations of racism two-and-a-half years ago. He says he has not supported the FA's 'Kick It Out' campaign since. First, though, he wants to deal with Moyes and what happened when a request to move to Manchester City was followed by that crushing opening-day defeat. It is a story that offers a fascinating insight into Moyes as a manager and one Lescott feels he needs to tell, if only to try to influence the opinion of the Everton supporters who turned against him shortly before his departure.
