Don't forget to vote in the delayed Sunderland MOTM as well.... http://www.toffeetalk.com/index.php?showtopic=20025

According to Gabby Logan on the beeb, "Everton have managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in eight matches...." Great result. Puts daylight behind us in the league....only two points off Birmingham. Onwards and upwards. How was Senderos? Streams were very hit and miss.

TC!! Never in doubt .

Great save from Tim!

Senderos in for Distin....otherwise unchanged XI. Rodwell on the bench but not Arteta. Howard Neville Senderos Heitinga Baines Osman Pienaar Cahill Fellaini Donovan Saha Subs Nash, Bilyaletdinov, Vaughan, Rodwell, Anichebe, Coleman, Duffy

Togo have been suspended for the next two ACON for pulling out of the tournament. WTF!? Completely ridiculous.

Read that too...can't find the link just now but didn't he suggest that he could have gone elsewhere but chose not to....then he can move on a free in the summer. Reading between the lines it could be possible that he wants to come and is prepared to wait . Maybe.

The extra game is at Goodison I think . If he appeals and gets another game added could it (theoretically) go on for ever? Appeal...extra game...appeal...extra game. Could Rio's career be over ?

Your maths needs work . Could happen though .

Thought it was strange having Duffy on the bench rather than Coleman given that Senderos was there. They've changed it on the OS.

But when you talk of the board covering up that's what it is...a conspiracy theory pure and simple. So you choose to buy into it or you choose not to. Entrenched views..."conspirators" v "apologists." . No point taking it further for me....but carry on if you like :jerry: .

Howard, Baines, Heitinga, Saha, Donovan, Distin, Cahill, Neville, Pienaar, Osman, Fellaini. Substitutes: Nash, Bilyaletdinov, Arteta, Vaughan, Senderos, Anichebe, Duffy

I just hope it's as stress-free as the last two home games against Sunderland. 7-1 two years ago and a 3-0 stroll last season on the back of two Arteta stunners...plus Gosling's first . Early-ish goal and we should be comfortable I think. I'll go 4-1.

There's the problem! We've bought a rugby league player by mistake .

Extended their loans... http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/duo-extend-loans-until-may.html

I'll be here or close by .

Course it is . It's a good subject Bill because it's impossible to Google even if you wanted to.

He's appealed against a three game ban for this....meaning he can play against City tonight. Not got a leg to stand on....be interesting to see if the FA add another game to his ban for a "frivolous" appeal. They certainly should.

I knew far fewer than that . However....filling in a blank...No7 in part two is Yamaha . And I recognise the John Bull from somewhere....just can't place it.

Not a "hater," pretty much agree with that. Can be a very good player for us and I hope he is . But at the moment he's kak for 85/87 minutes a game. Not good enough. (And I'm pretty sure I never slagged Fellaini off either )

Sure they talk about rumours the same as we do. Got a feeling he might have heard about it somewhere else if Louis hadn't said anything...I know for a fact for example (from my acupuncturist's nephew's fiancée's third cousin once removed on her adoptive step-father's side), that Steven reads TT regularly so we really should be having a go at Mark for letting the cat out of the bag by posting the Times link in the first place !

Hehe....great minds (one a little faster than the other ).

In the reserves.
