• “It’ll do him no harm to have sat back for the best part of the season and looked at it.” Said Moyes of Röhl. Seems he was right, the lad's learned a lot judging by his display against City. I hope Dibling is learning something too....

• Ndiaye needs to watch this match back, he had 3 golden chances and in each one he had an Everton player alongside him with an open goal but chose to shoot and miss - he’s starting to believe his own publicity. ...

• IMO, Rohl played a really good game but how you can put the real MotM, Garner, 2 points below him is crazy. Can't blame Moyes for the late goal. It was a class shot from Doku.

Look at the 70,000 that attended Dixie\'s 60th, or the regular 50-60ks at the derbies in the 60s and 70s.rnrnWhat\'s happened since is the game has been sanitised, starting with ground capacity reductions from all seater stadia. It was only then that clubs had to look for outside income. Before that there was no shirt sponsorships, advertising around the ground was for local butchers, bakers and candlestick makers and players were majority home grown, went to the match on the same bus as the supporters, and earned very little more than them. Club funding came from local family owners who could no longer keep financing them due to decreased capacity and therefore reduced income.rnrnSo I\'d disagree and say football WAS very much for the fans, and the local community,...
