Fellaini by a country mile. Was all over the pitch, the ball was like a magnet to him. Headers, tackles, fine passing and the crucial opening goal. A good all round display by the whole team but Fellaini was something else yesterday.

Like everyone else I was totally shocked when I first heard, about midday today. Obvious first thoughts where of a tragic accident but in all honeslty this is more tragic. Very fond memories of his time at Goodison especially a great hat-trick against Southampton and a late equaliser at Anfield. His longevity in the top flight speaks volumes for the character he was in the game. Condolensces to all who knew him. RIP Gary Speed

This has dour 0-0 written all over it and as I am usually wrong watch out for a spectacular 4-0 win for The Blues.

Instilled at an age where it would grow on me. My dad took me to my first game when I was three, 1967, before that I was pushed around the ground in my pram as soon the district nurse said I could go outdoors. Since then I have been proud to be an Evertonian through thick and thin, and being a teenager in the late 70's/ early 80's it wan't easy but the pride was there and always will be, come what may it will be with me until the day I die. I am not unique in this and probably share the same with 99% of football fans whatever their team.
