It’s been 10 v 12 up to that goal but the 36,000 behind the 10 have made the difference here.

That's the spirit! 
"If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through" - General Melchett. 

I haven't got the heart to read all that has been said today, but i have been watching the blues since 1958, and i have never seen such fear in players eyes than i saw today, we have had a lot of good times over the last 60 odd years, and some bad, but not even the last game of the season against Wimbledon, i still had hope then, but for the first time, i can not see a way out, second in every tackle, when our existence in the top flight is at stake is shameful. 
Like the majority on here i have not seen us relegated, and at 68 i don't want to start now. I try not to get to down, but every player out there just did not want to be the player that made the big mistake, our passing was awful, our pressing was non existent, we as a team have accepted the worst. The new manager has the responsibility to at least send a team out with hope, and fire in the belly, and see were that takes them, but no hope, no fire, no passion, and that comes from him. I don't know were we go from today, in my eyes that was worse than the spurs game, that was lost with mistakes, today was pure fear.

Brentford are on the slide and we have a bunch of games in hand over them. I'm not worried, we're obviously in a bad state but we're not going to be relegated and next season under Frank will be far better than this one. 

One of the many positive feelings I took away from today's game is how good it is to see our manager celebrating our goals like a fan. It's been a fair few managers since I've seen that (Ferguson aside).  

My head is pounding and I literally cannot hear out of one of my ears  but I feel so proud right now. That's pride in the fans and the players. Proper puff out your chest pride. Not once did we sit down in the Lower Gwladys and we sang and sang for those players. Then those players responded in kind and every single player gave everything they had from the first minute until the last minute. I can't fault any one of them for how they played today. It was a team effort from the players and the fans, it really was. We got behind them and they gave back, which drove us to give them even more and it grew and grew. That's how it should be.
The first half was like a fucking whirlwind from us. We threw ourselves into everything and committed fully to it. It's that sort of energy that the fans can get behind in the stadium, we really do not ask for a lot from these players. I don't think anyone epitomised the first half showing than Anthony Gordon. What a player we've got in him - skillful and direct going forward, but he'll chase anything in defence and he'll put a foot in. I fucking love him.
Second half was, not so much a struggle, but there was definitely a lessening of our intensity. We saw the game out well though in the end, and that's all you can ask. Get the job done as comfortably as possible.
I want to pick out a couple of players for a special mention, and those two players are Alex Iwobi and Jonjoe Kenny. The pair of them have gotten a lot of stick by us fans but were both absolutely fantastic.
Iwobi was fucking everywhere - you'd have been forgiven for thinking there may have been three of him on the pitch. He perhaps could have been more direct at times but his work rate was phenomenal and he was involved all over the pitch.
JJK was playing as a bloody left-back and you never would have known he was out of position really. Defensively sound and got forward when he could and linked up well with those around him. Up and down that touchline from start to finish and you could tell how much getting the win today was going to mean to him.
When we play like we did today it is so easy to love this football club. Do you know what? It's easy to love our manager as well. He speaks so well about this club - talking us up, praising the fans and players as often as possible, celebrating the goals like they matter (because they fucking do!), getting involved with the crowd during games. He understands that relationships need to be built and he's going the right way about it. I know it's early days but if we do stay up I am, again, cautiously optimistic about what next season could bring.
Come. On. You. Fucking. Blues!

Tidy and efficient.
 

Delighted with the win. Wish to hell this was a league game though.

The more I read about the finances of this deal the more I think the people running Everton have done a fantastic job here. Which has got me listening out for the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

I'm confused, I don't think that's how it works.

This. I always laugh my arse off at the naivete of clubs who insist on performance-related bonuses when they offload their shite to us. Besiktas probability thought they'd played a blinder when we offered them an extra 100 million if Cenk scores 5 goals in a season.
