Nick Entwistle
7 Posted 28/01/2009 at 19:55:11

Sweet link.
Tonight we find out if the boys feel they have stepped up in class or just a small team up against the big boys. I have a feeling they will make the step. Moyes must have mentioned Villa aren’t stopping for anyone... HERE’S Z-CARS!

Matthew Douglas

Did it take a while for it to load for anyone else? It says give it 5 minutes so I’m just gonna wait.

Robert Jones

And I’ve just seen Mikkys back! COYB

Matthew Douglas

mine loaded quite quickly....less than a minute but I logged on prior to the game beginning.

Nick Entwistle
14 Posted 28/01/2009 at 20:10:45

Wow, it looks amazing tonight, like of nights gone by. Big ones. Well worth watching again on MOTD just for the atmosphere and Everton are going for it with some very nice skills.

Robert Jones
15 Posted 28/01/2009 at 20:14:57

You’ve made me even more desperate to watch it now Nick. None of the 3 screens are loading

Robert, you should be able to turn the sound up depending on which screen you’re using. I’m using the same link and have sound

Robert Jones

Nope nothing. I’ve got the players volume up at max (as well as the system volume) but it’s still silent.

Got the sound working now, it was a problem with my headphones seemingly, I’ve got a different set on now.

For the people that were lucky enough to watch the first half, how would you rate our performance out of 10? Who was our best player?

Only one that works allright for me this evening. Channel 4 with foreign commentary and ch. 7 in English.

COYB!

James Marshall
36 Posted 28/01/2009 at 20:54:19

8 out of 10, shame we didnt actually have any shots!

Other than that minor issue, Arsenal hardly touched the ball first 25 minutes, apart from the initial 2 minutes - we were all over them for the first part of the half. They came back into it last 15 but no real chances for either side. Very tight game, its anybodys guess who might score - dont bet against it being 0-0.

James Marshall
37 Posted 28/01/2009 at 20:57:20

Lads listen, I’;ve said this many times before - join freefootball.com, get a login and you’ll get loads of links for all games without having to beg for them on here.

You MUST get a login to see the links in the games page though, otherwise they dont work; its free to join and you’ll need to install a few littls bits of software but other than that its a piece of piss.

James Marshall
38 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:00:40

www.freefootball.org, my mistake.

Matthew Douglas
39 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:00:29

Lads played really well. We played best when Arteta would put his foot on the ball and dictate play. Some really nice one touch football but at the beginning and end of the half we were giving the ball away way too cheaply.

Even Hibbert had a nice one two!!!!

Robert Jones
40 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:17:28

Fans are fantastic tonight.

Anyone else getting fed up of the co0mmentary on Fox?

Robert Jones
41 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:18:36

TIMMY YOU FUCKING LEGEND!!

I love that lads head.

James Marshall

Get the fuck in!

Its roaring at the old lady tonight!

Kevin Chung
46 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:22:18

Who needs strikers when we have Cahill?!

rob lyons
47 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:22:05

baines has been brilliant for weeks and that cross again was awesome, moyes has to see he is a definate left back first choice and i love tim cahill!!!!

Get in .Champs league here we come. Cheers Paddypower 14/1 = £150 returns..

Dave E

That cross from Baines was tremendous and that Aussie is the pride of our club!

Kevin Chung
50 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:23:03

Oh that was close by Van Persie.

Robert Jones
51 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:23:09

We signed the lad from Millwall, Timmy, Timmy.
He came right in and smacked it in, Timmy, Timmy.
He’s Aus, he’s blue he’s 26 (?) he’ll head past them and he’ll head past you
Who needs striers when we’ve Tim Cahill!

Legend.

Robert Jones
52 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:26:02

Oh he’s nearly 30.

Robert Jones

56 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:34:53

Arsenal starting to get dirty...they either get dirty or go long against us over the last couple of seasons

Kevin Chung
57 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:25:37

WHo does Osman think he is? Always thinks that he can dribble pass people? WTF... ahaha

rob lyons
58 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:43:15

shit its tims foot!!!

Kevin Chung
59 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:43:37

O boy

Robert Jones
60 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:45:17

Oh fuck no

Andy Morden
61 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:45:46

Now they will have to pull their fingers out and get a forward. Our luck is untrue this season

rob lyons
62 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:45:49

was it tims left foot that broke or right this is a right foot injury

Derek Dolan
63 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:45:58

What’s going on with Cahill? Someone explain. Does it look bad?

Ian Barker
64 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:46:47

his reaction tells us its bad- broken again!

James Marshall
65 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:46:54

That looked suspiciously like Cahills metatarsal going again - I hope Im wrong.

Kevin Chung
66 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:47:58

If Anichebe doesnt wanna be in the team, please get him out

Gerard Harkin
67 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:47:22

why didnt we use our last corner...

Matt Kassell
68 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:52:54

That felt like a loss. Why can’t we hang on?

Andy Morden
69 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:53:39

Ok, so often we bemoan on this site that we never play enough or are too offensive, but did anyone else thing Pienaar should have hung onto the ball and tried to hang onto it? Sheer idiocy

Andy Morden
70 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:54:07

sorry, meant defensive not offensive.

Kevin Chung
71 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:54:19

Andy... agreed.. when Pienaar lost that ball I was thinking...WTF

Nick Blake
72 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:53:35

If we could only afford a striker....we should have won that by 3

just gutted, and peanuts should have kept hold of the ball at the end

Will Leefe
73 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:55:06

Pienaar and Anichebe must learn how to kill the ball...I’d rather have lost 5-0 to be honest

Gary Creaney
74 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:55:43

Fuck sake, we played brilliantly. That feels totally like a loss

Matthew Douglas
75 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:55:48

feel numb from that. Pure domination and then gave it away in the last min of stoppage time.....unreal. Pray to God, Timmy is ok.....did not look good

James Marshall
76 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:56:49

Daylight fucking robbery, gutted.

Thats 1-1 in the last 5 games v the big 4.

Robert Jones
77 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:56:11

So Villa and Arsenal share the luck of Lucifer. Who’s shit luck have we nicked?

Andrew Oxton
78 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:58:20

Keep it in the corner, what the fuck?????????????????????????????????aaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Davie Turner
79 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:55:49

Gutted is the word.

But also I thought the lads played excellently tonight too. We didn’t sit back at 1-0 and overall cannot really fault the performance. Too easy to get into what ifs.

I thought we deserved the 3 points, we got hit at the end, that football, but well done lads.

Hope Timmy’s injury is not as serious as it looks.

Nick Xenos
80 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:59:58

Typical Everton...just when you think everything is going well, Cahill does his foot and we concede a last minute equaliser. Fucken’ hell!

al reddish
81 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:58:39

I know Peanuts lost the ball, but I was more pised off with Vic not even trying to get his foot in and just watched the arsenal defence start the move which led to the goal. LAZY BASTARD, he should have had the freshest legs out there. Good luck and well done to Cahill. Well played all,especially Hibbert who had the in form Nasri in his pocket

Ray Lupton
82 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:02:22

Moyes should give Peanuts a right hairdryer for trying to be a smart arse when he had the whole side of the pitch to himself...could have run it into the corner and game over. If Moyes doesn’t sign a striker now after Cahils injury then its an absolute disgrace.

Brian Waring
83 Posted 28/01/2009 at 21:59:57

Played well tonight.
Robert, it wasn’t un-lucky mate, it was Pienaar giving the ball away in the Arsenal half.

Jake Gordon
84 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:02:06

Nick, just what I wanted to say, feel gutted yet it has a strange familiarity to it, and ready for the worst regarding Cahill’s injury.

Oh well, seeing the FSW on Sky after another draw against a small team offers a little consolation.

Robert Jones
85 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:08:51

Brian - I was referring to Timmys injury.

Davie Turner
86 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:05:45

Pienaar was excellent tonight.

How many times in the past when we were 1-0 have the lads been slated for sitting behind the ball? Tonight we showed nothing of that other than sound defence, good shape, but still that instinct to get forward get another.

Pienaar may have made one mistake, but on his overall performance I thought he was excellent.

Can I just say the atmosphere sounded excellent too, credit the fans there tonight, wish it had been one of my trips down just to experience the noise.

John Feeley
87 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:09:29

Gutting result. Hope Cahill’s knock is minor! Anyone know why that TVU programme resists all attempts to uninstall it? Or know how i can get rid of the bloody thing?!

David McKittrick
88 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:07:55

I Googled Cahill's old injury and from what I can tell it was his left foot last time, rather then his right one tonite... anyone correct me on that??

Martin Brown
89 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:09:05

well done lads, for 90mins we were brilliant tonight. Gutted about the equaliser but at least this season we are getting points against the sky four.

Good luck Tim, hope to god its not the metartarsal.

Viv Sharma
90 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:08:30

Fucking furious. But...
I think Tim hurt himself in a twist. Probably tweaked something and wont be out too long if at all.
Also, fuck me did we play well. Of course we bottled it against one of the scum-4. We always do. Its a curse, but we passed superbly, moved well and outplayed the arse for 92 minutes. Dont hang Pienaar over this, he had a decent game up until that moment.
Whats happened to Howard tho?
Two major blunders in 2 huge games.
Whos our no2 keeper at the moment? Nash? Any good?

Tommy Coleman
91 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:10:39

If he only had a brain...

Pienaar ruins his and the team’s good performance with that stupidity.

Reminds of the time when he gave a daft pen against the Mancs which also ended being 1-1.

Moyes declares Cahill as a striker, guess what ? He gets injured. Talk about cursed.

Oh well, there goes 4th for another season, how this season could have been !

Brian Waring
92 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:16:16

Sorry Robert, thought you were on about the goal.

Jamie Barlow
93 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:09:19

I’m absolutely gutted. I think it shows what a great side we’ve become though. Gutted at a 1-1 draw against Arsenal. Its not the end of the world. We’ll beat the red shite and then carry on our merry way up the league. Lets not start blaming players either, Peinaar has been superb for us this season and it could have killed the game completely if that ball would have found its way to Anichebe. The most worrying thing of the night was the injury to Cahill. I hope to f*ck he’s alright and they brought him off just in case. Anyway, heads up, its Manure next. COYB

Brett Jonathan
94 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:05:59

The lads played well, there is no doubt about that. Final result is a shame but you just knew when Arteta and Pienarr tried to play keep ball in the corner and failed, things were going to get a lot more tense!

Ian Kearney
95 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:20:43

I’m not sure I’d call this one a major blunder Vic. Jags should really have been tighter for the goal but I think we can forgive hima minor error. Osman has to be taken out the firing line but I wont hold my breath

Brendan Fox
96 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:21:08

Don’t know about you guys but Cahill looks like he could be out for another lengthy spell. FFS just when he was getting back to his best! I hope to God I am wrong but if you saw the Setanta coverage the grimace on his face as he’s being carried down the touchline by Baz Rathbone without his right boot on. I certainly can’t recall Cahill ever needing to go off unless he’s been injured, so the omens aren’t looking good.

Gerard Harkin
97 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:26:41

did anyone else think fellaini was a bit scared to put his foot in tonite?

Dennis Karanikolopoulos
98 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:23:44

For what it’s worth, I think Moyes’ inability to read Arteta getting tired and unable to hold space in the last 10 minutes was crucial to us copping the equaliser.

Clearly the man is struggling with injury and should’ve been replaced by Rodwell to shore up the middle.

True, Pienaar lost the ball, however, they just raced through the middle of the park and there was no one there.....

Anyhow, dunno, maybe I’m so gutted that my brain is fried....I really do feel sick in the stomach....it’s like a loss!!

Blue Bill
99 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:27:03

Less of the doom mongering. Dissapointing but it was a great performance. Lets get something from old toilet then we have five or six winable games. COYB

john harris
100 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:29:42

Last time it was Tim’s Left foot metatarsel - not right foot....maybe just a twist - a rest on saturday might do the trick (wishfull thinking)..

Nick Xenos
101 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:35:09

Personally, I thought Osman was poor and Arteta was a bit off his game (maybe still hampered by his rib injury) but overall it was a solid performance. If only our ball retention was a little better after going ahead, then 3pts would of been in the bag. I hope the boys learn something from this.

Viv, Howard blunder...you must be joking! Now you want him replaced...get out of town!!!!!

Andrew Oxton
102 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:38:14

Come on lets be honest, this is Everton, Timmy is Fucked. Moyesy will come out and say its not as bad as it seems, then we wont see him again for 6 months. Fuck, I hope I am wrong.

Paul Olsen
103 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:40:03

Quick pop, what’s wrong with actually making some subs at the end to break things up a bit and buy some time?

I know Moyes doesn’t rate substitutions, but it would have killed this game off today.
We had two more subs to send in during the injury-time, why didn’t we?

Andrew Oxton
104 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:46:40

Completely with you Paul. It was crying out for a couple of late changes.

Shane Brannigan
105 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:57:10

Why doesnt he a sign a fucking striker after the summer’s fiasco, i expected a quick swoop get him in with the boys, bed in before the transfer window even closes! but no, looks like another deadline day joke! when i hear Bolton be in talks with Miguel Veloso (defensive midfielder but a quality player) nearly brings me to tears in frustration! at this stage no club wil let a DECENT striker leave as there is no time to replace! another disgrace, FM database must be doing wonders... as good as signing as Per Kroldrup!!! When i seen Tim our saviour limp this angered me more with moyes time management in the transfer market. Big Vic he is a battler no doubt but the boy has as much potential as scoring as those Pip. Take the finger out and Buy Buy Buy....sorry i mean Loan Loan Loan!!

Joshua Doherty
106 Posted 28/01/2009 at 22:02:16

What the fuck was Peanuts doing. He didn't need to play the ball in to Anichebe and it was a shit ball anyway... fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!

Tony Williams
107 Posted 28/01/2009 at 23:27:38

I am with Al, I was fuming at Vic, that lazy twat was on for less than 10 minutes yet he stopped running after 5. I was screaming at him to run when they went and scored, lazy bastard.
