The Mail Bag

Laurie and Lawro

Two reports which look different to each other, but from the same source, I think.

Laurie Sanchez gave us an absolutely classic example of the whinge. Overall, they stood no chance. But the second official didn't give us the decision we wanted - we was robbed.

Lawro at the Mirror (I don't know what this means) comes to the conclusion that Moyes is the best ? pound for pound ? outside the so-called top four. Pound for pound? Should Moyes even be compared to, for example, Benitez? Its an insult. Otherwise, the writer has spotted what is going on. The message is getting through.

Common thread? Sanchez doesn't know what's going on - he was shell shocked. The Mirror isn't quite sure what is going on. Still bending the knee to the 4, they recognise a sort of newcomer.

Everton can't be that good ? can they? Well, yes they are. God forbid that this means that referees will give dodgy decisions in our favour. What it will mean is that officials will believe that what we do is good and therefore legal.

I think the "pound for pound" colloquialism was just a timely (although basically stupid and irrelevant) boxing reference, per the intro to the piece.

Your point has merit and it will be interesting to see if we are starting to benefit from dodgy decisons... is that two crucial ones now in the last two games? Shock horror!

Nah! It’s just luck evening itself out over the season! By the end of this campaign we should have made up for the fucking Derby game (and the Man U game for that matter!)
