Honestly man you're a fucking joke anyway... W D L F A Pts With 8 6 7 34 25 30 Without 1 3 4 10 16 6 Conclusion - you're shit, he's not.

No-one in the B? or transfer targets? He seems to have stagnated big time to me.

Ah balls. Forlan goal ruled out for offside. Correct call.

Barely got out of neutral from the bits and bobs I saw.

Rossi, class FK. 1-1.

Yep, I had a stream on and the stadium announcer definitely said they were playing a song by RJ Thompson called A Better Life. Surprised there wasn't a thread - how to get music played at HT?

although there is plenty of time to implode yet.

Lanzaro being a cunt for no reason.

I can see where he is coming from but how else is Ferguson going to get the experience?

Fifa need to prove their doing something and don't have the bollocks to tackle anything proper. Got to spend that $1bn they've got in the bank some how I guess.

Bojan to get shipped in the summer?

Played his best game arguably against Blackburn, went on a world class run and nearly set up the winner at the death v Bolton and did alright otherwise (goal aside altho he wasn't the only one to blame), he was solid against Birmingham. Nope don't see it.

Aye, that he is. Diving little shit like.

I must be watching a different player to everyone else as I've seen no change in attitude/commitment.

Didn't realise Jiri Jarosik still played football.

Aye, seems to be getting better and better the more games he plays against top opposition too which can only be a good thing. I'd still be looking to replace him in the long run but he has far exceeded my expectations since we signed him. Comes across as not being a twat too which is always a plus.

You know it is a sorry state of affairs when statements like that are getting thrown around. I agree like. Kuqi at least has a bit of physical presence.

Prudda posse representin y'all.

Nail on head. Goes for every manager not just 'Pards'.

It looked like Best pushed his marker in the back and he was down before the ball hit the net. Correct. Whistle had already gone. Jagielka (IIRC) went down pretty easily though although it was definitely a foul.

Was tight that disallowed goal like.

Thought Webb was ok for the most today, got all the major decisions correct (Nolan push on Anichebe, Tiote on Osman, disallowed goal, Hibbert) although his stopping of the game for the first Everton sub when he wasn't even stripped was shocking. We played into his and Evertons hands at the end with the series of silly fouls.

Harper - 8 - three top draw saves. S.Taylor - 4 - unsettled the back four by his presence, stood off Arteta far too much. Booked. Williamson - 6 - not at his best today but did ok. Struggled as the game got more stretched which is to be expected. Coloccini - 6 - as above. Enrique - 6 - did ok before succumbing to injury. Missed him in the second when pushing for the equaliser. Simpson - 5 - offered nowt on the RW which is to be expected. Tiote - 7 - solid enough and always showed for the ball Nolan - 6.5 - made some decent forward runs on several occaisions today. Sort of set up the goal. Jonas - 8 - skinned Hibbert repeatedly and fashioned some decent chances, one for Nolan in particular. Absolutely superb in terms of effort and application too. MOM. Lovenkrands - 2 - What can be said that hasn't already. Offered nowt upfront and then somehow even less out wide. Baines has never had it so easy Best - 7 - handful, and took up a good position for his goal. Shola - 6 - looked bright when he came on and then faded. Ferguson - 6 - did well, should've been on earlier. Kuqi - 5 - no time to shine.

He summed himself up in a nutshell by busting a bollock to get back goal side of Arteta, when Arteta was going down the left, which he did but he carried on until he'd gone past him a further 7-8 yards before turning to face Arteta giving him the chance to run at him with ease which he duely did before setting up another Everton chance (the one where Saha flashed it wide IIRC). Comical.

38 minutes. not booked but subbed on 71.
