Even if he'd done nothing else his performance against United warranted it .

Just out of interest....league table of calendar year so far... ManU Played 11...26 points. Arsenal.....12...26. Everton.....11...23. Chelsea.....10...20. Spurs.......10...18. City........10...18. Liverpool...11...18. Villa.......11...15. No doubt who the "big four" of 2010 are .

Sat watching Eddie Izzard: Marathon man. Stunning achievement....but I mention it because they've just shown him running along the County Road, past Winslow Street and you can see Goodison in the background .

Be huge if we could win it...would put us within three points of Liverpool and five of City and maybe closer to Villa if they stumble again against Sunderland. If only Felli were around to give us a repeat of his Goodison performance . Draw wouldn't be the end of the world I suppose. Lescott injured in the warm-up today and won't play http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news/2010/March/Lescott-ruled-out-of-Everton-clash.

Not seen it yet but it sounds like it may have been harsh; having said that it also seems that Mascherano was fortunate not to get red so the luck maybe evened out there. It's not just that that's got them wound up, they're convinced Webb cheated them at every turn (and that Sky hate them) and that's why they lost. Nothing at all to do with the fact that they had only two efforts on target in 97 minutes.

Rawk is hilarious... Couple of example of why they lost... "I thought Webb would be corrupt. I thought he would be laughable. But not in a million years could I believe that any referee on Earth could get away with this. Firstly he should be not allowed to disgrace the country in the World Cup and secondly he should be sacked in the morning. People pay good money to watch games and idiots like this ruin the game." "What is the fucking point anymore? Its corrupt Webb's in on it, Commentary is in on it, Sky is in on it..... tell me that was 97 minutes of honest fair Refereeing? No replays when there was fouls on Liverpool players....... Neville kicking Maxi in the head.......... Not even a foul............ Can we start playing some football please? Can't watch something that's corrupt..." And we're bitter ? Rafa... "It was a very difficult game - at least we showed that we are strong, we can score goals in any stadium, we can beat anybody we can play well." Really ?

Their chances of fourth are looking very remote now. Only seven games left, four points behind Spurs having played a game more; they'll be two points behind City having played two games more if City hold out for the win at Fulham. Sunderland (just getting back to form) up next for them, Birmingham away after that. Looking desperate . :lmaosmiley: :lmaosmiley: :lmaosmiley:

But he had the awareness to be in the right place at the right time and he made full amends within forty seconds . So I'll forgive him that one.

Eighteen scored and three conceded (in our run of seven) is pretty useful also . Let's hope United's run continues today.

Twenty-six points from the last twelve games. Averaging that over a whole season would be worth eighty-two points. If we stay at that level for the rest of this we'll finish on sixty-two! Might just be enough .

Not over at all (except for Toffeeblue), today showed again how valuable he is to us.

Cheat .

And stepovers from Pip . Love it!

Pienaar 2-0! Sell Ossie? Insanity!

I love Mikel Arteta :wub_anim: . Excellent reaction from DM as well....virtually no celebration, like he knew it was going in (just like the days when Sheeds lined one up ). I knew it was going in as well...but to be fair that's because of the delay on the stream....they reported the goal on "Final Score" before Mikky took it on my laptop .

Certainly in need of fresh faces....this is heading for a very frustrating afternoon .

TT legend, big part of the site's history, all round top bloke, forty-two today. If you drop in for a look (which I see you did last month after the United game ) happy birthday mate....have a good day. Hope your life is sorted. Come back soon .

Relying on you .

Month's loan. Interesting to see how he does. http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2010/03/19/coleman-joins-blackpool

Arteta Cahill Pienaar Jagielka Lescott (just shading Baines) Fellaini & Heitinga may well break in....but they've not been here long enough to judge yet.

Haha...senior citizen moment :| . A good moderator doesn't erase posts to avoid personal embarrassment....now where's that "delete" button . Milky (along with all the new Blueroom mods) I believe had an interview and a criminal record check .
