Hmmm... No Saha and no Jô...
I’m still wondering if we will dump Jo back to City. Obviously Saha is injured Michael, I’m sure Moysie would have had him in the team if he’d been fit
Not sure I feel confident with the Yak on his own up there
4-5-1, at home, to Burnley.....
I recently predicted we would attack Spurs, not because Moyes had suddenly changed his philosophy on how the game should be played, but because of the type of player he had available to chose from on the day. Somebody - I think it was Brian Waring - called it more accurately saying, yes we would attack, but in true Moye sfashion, only after we have gone behind.
As ever on Match day, I`m up as early as your kids on Christmas and looking forward to the game, Lyndon reports in his preview that Burnley may be without their preferred central defensive partnership... What an opportunity!
I`ve felt recently there has been very definite signs of improvement in our play and I think sooner or later we are due a very handsome win.
Come on Moysee, its Christmas..ish let the dogs of the lead. tell the boys to go out and entertain the bank holiday crowd, lets attack with style and imagination, lets put an end to this misery.
Let's blow someone away
The OS is stum on Saha only disclosing that he will not be "involved". Do they know something we don’t?
Looking at the bench i’m not sure we could have played 4-4-2
Agree with Dave we are due to hand out a good kicking, any links ?
Against Chelsea albeit Moyes hand was forced we played 4 4 2 and scored 3 goals, since then he has reverted back to 4 5 1 and only managed 1 goal a game, c’mon Moyes wake up and smell the coffee!!!
Feeling good today. Now let’s kick the shit out of Burnley!
http://www.myp2p.eu/competition.php?competitionid=&part=sports&discipline=football
Lots of links on here, just waiting for game to start before they do
So Saha is not playing, hes available on a "free" in the summer. Arsenal are looking for a striker. Nah it would never happen
i need the veetle stream please, somebody!
The Beep say Saha is injured. That’s a bit more than the OS. Before learning of Saha’s absence, I predicted that we’d clobber Burnley and unleash all the frustration we’ve been feeling for many games and turning that into goals. Now I’m not so sure anymore. Yak, I’m wearing your shirt right now so a hattrick please!
http://www.hostream.net/channel-9.html hope this helps lads
Saha has hamstring strain and JO a knock to the knee and ankle. He costs the club nothing, by the way, wages and agents fees plus money due to CSKA from City as prt of their deal are all met by City as part of Lescott deal...so ignore speculation elsewhere on ths site. COYB

Just been attacked by a virus after typing in http://www.hostream.net/channel-9.html hope this helps lads and excellent link http://www.tvoo.net/ch2.html so watch out lads.
Even game so far it seems.
David Duignan you’re a legend! Great link
Hear, hear for David Duignan.
http://iraqgoals.net/ch3.html
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Osman is shite.
I am hoping we’ll attack, attack and attack but I don’t think I’ll see it.
I’m getting deja vu
sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/77552 - perfect picture but foreign commentry
I’m getting a Romanian feed here
http://meciurionline.net/eurosport2.html
This isnt bad
http://www.anaimgr.tv/
3 saves in a row for howard fucks sake
great link here:
http://p2p4u.net/watch-live-sports.php?id=10519&link=2
much better start today, need a goal though.
no breaks so far on
www.vshare.tv/live/46393starcafe/1
we are playing well but so are Burnley - GREAT GAME
Shite corners again. Try something else. Why isn’t Bily taking them.
its back, not sure for how long!
http://www.tvoo.net/ch2.html
I know burnley are playing well at the moment but if we cannot beat them at home then we have no hope of top half.
Fingers crossed we get a goal soon, relax and play some good football.
Our crosses are so poor , from both sides
Billy just created good chance and then good save from keeper. we cant shoot !!!!
Is it just me or has Cahill done nothing in this game?
They could do with learning how to shoot on target and i think Cahill has took a leaf out of Jo’s book. He’s on the floor more than anything else, looking for free kicks.
For once I wish Moyes would make a change at half time. Vaughan for Cahill, Billy or Osman.
I dont think you can fault any of them its just not dropping our way and when it does the final shot isn’t good enough . But they are playing good football.
Heitenga is playing very well...
If we cant beat Burnley today we should go down. They have one of the worst away records in the premier league. But this is Everton and we do tend to break records (not in a good way)
http://iraqgoals.net/4643-everton-fc-vs-burnley-fc.html
Vaughan is just back from injury and with his record he’d be the last one I’d bring on.
Maybe a 442 change would be better with Cahill or Baxter up front. Ossy off HT.
They are creating enough chances but they end up blocked,poor cross or poor shot, but they are playing well
Duff and their goalie are really giving the ref shit about something to do with elbowing (is that Fellaini they are telling the ref about?)
This is just the sort of game Coleman could come on and win for us. I don’t think Burnley have much down their left to worry us about.
Coleman should have started for fucks sake. Yet again O so predictable.
I’ll hazard a quess and say that the first substitute after 60 mins will be Neville for Osman, pushing Fellaini up front. Then with 8 mins to go he’ll put Vaughan on for Billy.
http://www.anaimgr.tv has worked fine all game.
A couple of massive last ditch challenges from us in that half. It could be a lot worse, the glass is half full, we are doing enough to get a goal... just pray one brings two.
Sometimes I wish Pienaar would let go from the edge of the box, he's scored some class goals from that area.
Once again we are sat here talking about game and not watching it, what does that say about the game? We are so Predictable to play against. Never anything new,
Crappy feeds so maybe I missed something... but has Osman really been so terrible? He’s made some good passes and kept the ball more than usual at least.
Joey, haven’t lost my Iraqi feed as yet (fingers crossed I haven’t just kissed myself to death there). Try it
http://www.tvoo.net/ch2.html excellent
What is it about halftime - we’re always so slow taking off
god hibbert & bily offer very little on the right!
Joey, nice Evony bird on it too!
Cahill crap as usual and Osman spending most of the day on the deck...
why oh why oh why does cahill continue to be picked
Cahill badly needs a break.
Burnley are 6/1 to win this...bookies are never wrong are they?
really can not see the point in playing bily on the right either as there is no way he can beat his man. just cuts inside everytime!
Was that a shot of Big Dunc in the crowd at halftime with his son?
Will, ask Big Dunc if he wants to play?
Hibbert skinned by Eagles. Boy he is fast!
fuck me that was close. usual slow start after halftime again.
The yak went down a little easy there....lol
Who cares though
Goal coming soon. Yakubu to score
That goal should have stood...no bias here
Anyone got a link that works??
See I told you. Didnt say if it would count.

"Operation Goodison Exercise" has been the best bit so far
We haven’t had a decent freekick in donkey’s years
Fate eh!
Moyes forced to address the Cahill problem...
Nugent shall not score...I have decreed it
this is getting embarassing
Oh christ...
Phil Neville..
Neville? Not Vaughan! What kind of message does that send?
Come on Nev - get the boys freakin going
Operation goodison exercise is.... Someone shoot david moyes.... nevile for cahil. what are we trying to shore it up, FFS moyes,
Could he have the same impact as Fabregas?
Nev for Cahill. Felli further up, nothing wrong with that.
Can’t believe he’s brought Neville on for Cahill. We’re crying out for someone who can score a goal for Christ sake.
Can’t believe he’s brought Neville on for Cahill. We’re crying out for someone who can score a goal for Christ sake.
Lets go all out now to win. We need 3 points so badly and with burnley down to 10 we have a chance surely.
Think Nuge will ever play for us? He seems certain he will.
Potless we are, so maybe if he’ll play for beer money
0-0 at home against a side with just 1 point away from home all season a game that needs to be won. A game that could be won by any decent manager with a modicum of attacking intent and what does the wise one do?
Replaces Cahill with Neville.
Utterly Clueless
Yak slowly coming back to form I reckon

Why does Moyes not go 2 upfront! We are only playing a Burnley side with 10 men! He’s too negative! Why not bring Vaughan on instead of a defender in Neville.
Ha, I suppose cahill for neville is like for like..one shit player for another...
Good to see Pip back.
COYB
That handball was Cahillesque
We want Vaughan... We want Vaughan...We want Vaughan...
Burnley have lost their rythm - hopefully we can find some!
Ciaran - lol pretty funny
Always try to be positive, but this is going to go tits up
streams are patchy here. anything apart from iraqgoals?
Just think at work tomorrow, We will all be the laughing stock, No attack, No Clue. 10 men at home, against the WORST away team in the prem, Defender for attacker....Bloody hell moyes. do us all a favour, QUIT.
Weather we win or not, we need a chance
Teams have nothing to fear from our freekicks...prove me wrong pleaqse
Bainsey’s been practising his crossing with Hibbo
Don’t know why we bother with free kicks.
Any guesses on when Vaughan will come on.
I go for the 92nd minute
Anyone else worried about relegation? We are toothless against a poor burnley team at home.
Shocking.
Please bring Vaughn on sooner than the 87th minute
Brilliant Hibbo and Billy
Is it that fuckin hard to get a shot on target!!!!!!!!!!!
We are doing so well to hold out against the 10 men of Burnley. I hope they put this one on DVD. It’s the stuff of heroes.
not sure what difference vaughn would make. waste of a subs spot
We need 3 points...the schedule is brutal for 7 of the next 9 odd league games
The only thing Bily can do right is a set piece! Why do we persist with a full back for EVERY free kick and corner when he cant beat the wall or the first man???
Mix it up FFS!!
Get Hibbert off, get vaughan on, 3,5,2....
This is where we really miss Arteta
If we can’t beat 10 men Burnley at home, I think we are looking at a relegation battle.
What the Fook Baines... CROSS THE BALL, not hard, use that left foot and kick..

When is he gona bring Vaughan on! Why does he always leave it far too late!
We can’t beat a 10-man Burnley? What the fuck? Getv a grip boys!
jesus christ that was terrible from bily
Poor performance here - lacking in tactical nous and confidence
WHY HASN’T HE CHANGED THE SODDING FORMATION?
WE ARE SO DEFENSIVE STILL.
The way this team has slumped from the cup final is incredible. Since Saha scored after 20 odd seconds it has been one abject display after another. We make teams look like world beaters
Are we absolutely certain it’s Burnley with 10 men and not us?
About fuckin time Moyes. Knobhead.
Why are we keeping 4 at the back?
Vaughan! About fooking time!
Vaughny is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING GET THE FUCK INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
We told him like bring on Jimmy V
Yes!!!!!!!! Vaughny!!!!!!!!
class from Fellaini there!

Why not make me the manager, it’s not rocket science!
Horrible miss from The Yak there....
All Fellaini that on a plate for Vaughn
Don’t think Burnley are finished yet
The Big Fella and Peanuts...world class stuff there
Assist from Yak..sitiing on their keeper!!
Webb has seen enough of our freekicks...play on!
Sodding links, why do they always break up towards the end of each half... Again missed an Everton goal. Its like hotels taking the sex out of their porn!
Felli has been great again today!
Hear, hear. Very impressed with him.
Much better stuff boys...now just keep the ball
We need to go back to that nasty 1-0 winning streak.
I never thought the final few minutes of this game against Burnley would be so stressful...
Shitting ourselves. Foot on the ball
Pienaar and Fellaini have been the difference.
What a strike by Fellaini
Now that was a beautiful goal
Fantastic by The Yak and Peinaar. Game over. Thank fuck for that.
God is great....Haha..
Whatever you say Stevie..
Keep em coming. Credit to the Yaks backside...second assist of the day..
I missed it damn stream! What happened? Description please!

Thank God!
Easy game - didn’t have any worries there, did we boys?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgotten that winning feeling...it’s rather nice
Great work from the yak and brilliant finish by pienaar
thank fuck for that!!
I’m a total atheist, but even I’m sad to see a guy getting booked for showing his "God is great" T-shirt during the Christmas holidays.
Fuck what a relief. Get in Vaughan and Pienaar! We finally won a game again! God is great!!!
Well, hopefully the filthy lucre of Mammon will not lure Pienaar away
Thank fuck for that. Great Christmas present.
Was beginning to wonder when that next win was coming along.
We looked like a proper football team at times today.
Well played Vaughany, good to have you back!
That was class from The Yak...great dummy pass for the goal
Thank fuck for that home win clean sheet 2 well worked goals, Cahill apart no new injuries,
All the results went our way today and by some Xmas miracle it looks like we’ll finish the year 11th. Results all season have shown that this is one of the most tightly contested top divisions in many a year. Wenger predicted, quite rightly so I think, that it will be the lowest winning total ever.
Raise your eyes up for the 2nd half of the season. Confidence is an amazing thing to have in top flight football. We’ve looked a lot better in the last few weeks. Onwards and upwards. It would’ve shattered us today if we didn't win... but we did.
Was the Yak not offside and involved for Vaughan's goal? He was certainly obstructing Jensen...
Suppose we were robbed against Brum with Louis's goal.
Could have easily lost today...
Did anyone else notice we played better without Cahill? His first touch has been terrible, and he can't hold the ball up. He wasn't even a threat from set pieces, so why is he constantly first on the team sheet?
Don't get me wrong, I am more than over the moon with the win, and the improvement over the last few games, but 5 points from Bimingham (H), Sunderland (A) and Burnley (H) isn’t good enough by any standard.
Not sure which game some of you were watching. We were all over them today! It’s frustrating when it looks like the goals might never come but that’s football lads!
The Yak was not offside as they had a player laying on his back on the touch line to the left of the goal.
James Stewart you called Moyes clueless but you have shown yourself to be the clueless one.
Sean Patton you just embarrased yourself and showed yourself to be a complete idiot with a couple of your comments.

Ha, Ha, Hindsight is a wonderfull thing James.
Despite the ’wonderful’ picture I had, I thought we played ok. Still look fragile at the back and the final ball/ shot is lacking but the rest of the play was good with joined up stuff and everything.
My only hope now is that if, as it seems, Cahill is out for a while we don’t push Fellaini up behind the striker as then we’ll resort back to hoofball. Put Osman there with Neville at DM and Fellaini at CM and we should have a decent attacking as well as improve the defensive side.
Now all we have to do is get some shooting practice in in training...
