Welcome Bunny...not the first from the region I think. We have an admin in Cambridgeshire .

Yobo's not listed as injured on the OS so he may be an option . Just booked ticket and travel. Main Stand 3. Can we have another City/Chelsea atmosphere/result please.

Should have emphasised should.

Seriously pissed of that, on top of having to play at a stupid time, the KO move means we're not live on free to air . Giving serious thought to coming up. Sporting on a crap run....four losses on the bounce....conceding twelve goals in the process. Should be good win.

There's a bit of a queue there I think. Arteta's been the main taker (since the AJ Kharkiv night ) and Baines has taken some without missing. Also it's possible Phil Neville will fancy another go after the semi last year . God help us .

Beautiful interception and determination by Ossie to set up the attack that led to the pen.....maybe if it'd gone in people would have talked more about it. Robbed Lampard when it was still 0-0 to set up a chance as well. I agree Dunc.

As we approach Valentines Day... Roses are red, Violets are blue, John Terry's messed up, And Saha scored two ! Not mine....stolen from a BBC blog.

I'd be horribly optimistic if we could start next season with all of those players intact. Quality everywhere...I'd back us against anyone. I need to go have a pill and a lie-down now....too much excitement for an Evertonian to take .

Think your scalpel must be a little blunt .

Blinding insight from Dave Prentice in the Echo... Unsung? Not here . Plus a load more accolades in the match thread. Dave obviously needs to mix with more clued up Evertonians than he does at present .

Wages shouldn't be an issue then....he's "only" on about £27,500 a week with his improved contract.

Interesting American press perspective... http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/usa/story/021110-galarcep-donovans-everton-gamble-paying-off

What size were the shoes again ?

Moyes talking up Baines for an England call-up today....before the news that Cole's out for three months. Just possible he could make the squad. Selecting Wayne Bridge will cause all sorts of problems so I think if Fabio has a chance not to he may take it. We're also going to have Yak, Yobo and (maybe) Vic there with Nigeria, Pienaar with SA, TC with Oz, Landon (claimed as ours ) and Tim with the USA, Heitinga with Holland and Senderos with the Swiss. Few outside bets as well...Saha, Rodwell, Jags. Shame for Mikel that he got injured just when it seemed he was going to get a chance....too late now I think sadly. Anyway that must be our biggest representation ever .

I found Bob, gave him a good hiding and stole his wallet. I'm £37.50 in profit...and have £1,250 worth of counterfeit fifties which I intend to invest in black market fake Converse .

He's been misquoted there surely ? Must mean England rather than Europe. Good luck to him....I see he turned down Real because he was worried about getting regular first team action. Probably best that he decided to join a smaller club then .

Harry Redknapp mention us ("coming into it") when he was asked about the fight for fourth place in his post match interview last night. Still a long shot but in the last six games we've picked up a point on City, two on Liverpool, six on Villa and seven on Spurs. Be amazed if any of them had an easier (on paper) run-in than us. Fourth may be a bit much but I think we can get sixth.

Lost their last four games conceding twelve goals in the process . Wrote this elsewhere last night... I was so calm at the end....unbelievable. 2006 we were 2-1 up with nine minutes to play. 81st minute Lampard scored and then Drogba got a screamer with three minutes left. Tonight, stream down, 81st minute BBC text says... 80:47 Frank Lampard takes a shot. Tim Howard makes a save. I knew it was ours. Karma. I'm normally a wreck in those circumstances but I JUST KNEW IT!! Great night.

On the basis of the 5live commentary, occasional stream, BBC text and MOTD Ossie for me.

Denies the pre-contract with Arsenal. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8506901.stm

Stat on the beeb....we've not beaten Chelsea since 2000. This is our twenty-fifth attempt . Brimming with confidence here .

Don't know....a lot of pushing and pulling and the keeper normally gets the benefit of any doubt. I'd completely avoided seeing it up until now. Tragic .

The beeb have got Yobo in the squad.. Everton (from): Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines, Senderos, Yobo, Cahill, Rodwell, Arteta, Osman, Bilyaletdinov, Coleman, Saha, Donovan, Yakubu, Anichebe, Vaughan, Duffy, Baxter, Nash. Mind you they also claim... "...Louis Saha has fired two goals in two matches against Chelsea and is looking for his 100th league strike in an Everton shirt." Must've missed eighty odd of those somehow . 100th goal in England maybe?
