The Bold David Moyes
Comments (79)
I posted a letter a couple of days ago entitled "Not good enough". In it I said that the being bold never entered the mind of David Moyes.
I take that back. Tonight he was bold. Maybe he had no choice but I prefer to think that this was a change in thinking. Gosling and Rodwell were superb substitutions and did us proud. When AVDM came on I honestly thought, "His time has come". I've defended him in the past and have regretted it but his cross for the winner will at least leave one good memory of his time at GP. What a wonderful night.

Andy mate, it?s big of you to come on and retract your coments.
I?m still buzzing proper... fucking get in... I think tonight might be a coming of age for Moyes and the team ? we showed the fitness and above that, the MENTAL STRENGTH... we BELIEVED we could win.
COYB!!!

Here Here, Andy, a fantastic night. Can't fault Moyes at all, he made all the right calls at the right times. Gosling and especially Rodwell look fantastic prospects. Rodders was the most comfortable in possession on the whole pitch and I include the best little Spaniard we know in that. Full credit to VdM for the cross as well, I think we all know that he has the potential to be a very useful player for us being the only natural winger in the squad.
So happy tonight, I work in Dublin and it's all red gobshites at work. For once I can't wait to go in in the morning.

The fact that AVDM had a hand in the winner is just pure gold! I agree - when he came on I couldn’t help but smile - I thought something would happen... I had visions of him sticking the 5th and winning penalty away or something, but what transpired will do so very very nicely!!! When he leaves, which he surely still will - he can leave with the knowledge that even though he really fucked us all off for a few years; he also contributed to one of the best moments Evertonians have had for a long long time!
Agree credit should go to Moyes for sticking him on for Pip rather than maybe Castillo who may have been a more obvious choice!
I’m in heaven... Enjoy the moment my fellow blues - Enjoy!!!

Andy I hope you're right. I to was delighted to see Moyes use substitutes to try and win a game instead of reacting to going behind. It paid off and all of them had a positive impact. Hopefully this will give him confidence to make this a regular feature of our game plan. Well done to all of the boys tonight a great victory over the RS well over due to. We can use this win to kick on and they can sink into hopeless and win fuck all which is what they deserve.
My fellow Blues there is a song from WWE wrestling called No Mercy; please listen to this it sums up this evening perfectly.
Great Night

Hmmm... I wonder why my RS friend haven’t texted me yet....
Such a pity that Benitez doesn’t have it anywhere within himself to lose with grace. He could have done himself and his team some good tonight by taking Moyes and Wenger as examples of managers with some class, particularly when it comes to magnanimity in defeat.
Despite their defeat of a very poor Chelsea, me thinks this charmless Iberian has blown it. Unable to beat us in 3 games and utterly lost without 2 players. The idea that he can deliver the league title and champions league is cuckoo land.
The really sad thing is that his bitterness and childishness have directly soured what has broadly been cordial relations between two great clubs, certainly at management level.
What a prick.

Shankly, GBH, Pinochio, Billy Liddle, Alex Lindsay, Robbie Keane, Houlier, the King of Norway, Sammy Lee, Clive Thomas, Sean Dundee, Ladyboy, Dr fun, Carragher?s tatoo, two old ladies in Kemlyn Road... your boy?s took one hell of a battering tonight, one hell of a battering. IT?S ONLY JUST BEGUN .
Not many people on here tonight moaning about the ref, is there?
The best part for me tonight (apart from the goal, obviously) was the shite playing for pens with loads of time left on the clock.
One more thing, when the picture came back on ITV, did anybody notice Reina and the other gobshites surrounding the ref, what was all that about?

Played a game of ball that finished at 8. None of the red shite boys would go upto the bar in the club and watch it.
Made an absolute benny of myself in an empty bar jumping around when ossie hit the post. And again with the Reina double save, and again when Timmy missed the header.
The reaction when we scored. I ran round a set of tables 3 times wirh only bout twnety other people looking at me. Than there was a few tears.. Still is.. Proudest moment as a blue..
Didn?t even text any red shite fans! Happy just to sit ans think what just happened!
Thank you so much EVERTON

Come on the goose Gosling!!!!!
You know what... I never realised how much the derby meant until now!! I?m a student in Liverpool University... so it means so much to me right now!! There?s plenty of pissed off redshites around, all locked in their rooms. It is absolutely fantastic!
C?MON YOU BLUES!!
C?MON YOU BLUES!!
Can anybody please help me. I am desperate, it?s so important that I get this info. This is not a training exercise. Please where can I get a link to any of rafa?s post match shite.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Yeah Kevin, my Redshite mates have been rather quiet. Just getting vanloads of text from everybody else! COYB! This is the greatest victory since the 2nd Kharkiv game.
Fuck me.
That was the best bounce for ages. Well worth the drive.
Lets stuff Villa now. We owe then twats one.

Unbelievable stuff tonight. From Moyes?s subs and our defense to VDM?s cross and Gosling?s winner (off the boot of TWO shiite players). Team was fantastic. Over the moon right now.
What an epic game! What a struggle! What a happy ending! Gosling and Rodwell were superb! We had the luck but you have to take advantage of it and for once we have. I?m sooo happy we?ve finally beat THEM! And the look on RAFA?s face!!
Anybody out there pleased and proud to be a Blue?
FACT: only one team wanted to win tonite the only came to defence and try for pens FACT... funny how ten days change
FACT: the fsw is a cunt!!
FACT: over the three games one team been better the the other!!
FACT: Jagielka out-marked and out-played one of the so called best players in the the world
FACT: only one team on Mersyside in the 5th round... FACT!

OMG top result. Whole team awesome. RS beaten out of sight. Title winners ? Don?t make me laugh ! Text from non Evertonian "Gos strike like Lampard at his best". Say no more.
Alan Kirwin: I haven’t seen anything relating to El Camarero Gordo - the wife and I were too busy shaking hands with fellow Blues in our Blue enclave just outside Dublin, and - to be be fair - a bunch of Irish Reds, who ALL reckoned we deserved it.
Until I hit Sky or The Grauniaid, I can only assume that The Unfeasible Goatee has spat the dummy again. Good, good, good. The Red Wagon goes off the rails. Presumably he’ll say, or has said, that they threw the game to a ’smaller club’ so that they can carry on chasing their Chumps League place.

Brian - I was worried about the ref’s judgments of what was fair, and the cards he was showing. But he stood up and took out the second yellow to send the man off - if respect means anything, that’s in the frame.
I guess they must have been arguing some hopeless offside appeal after the goal. But don’t ask me, ask the cuddly Rafa - when he stops crying.

Just finished watching the Derby. Priceless! The game was broadcasted on Setanta here in the States. The commentators gave credit to our boys and stated that they were the better team, but then they went on to say that it was a blessing in disguise for the shite because they are only focusing on the league and Champs League. It’s truly amazing how the media spin things in the shite’s favor...
By the way it was Gosling’s birthday on Monday. Happy Birthday Gos!!!!!
"Rafa!! Rafa!!.... someone?s pissed on our chips"
"Sorree Meester Sky, sorree Meester Setanta, sorree Meester ITV..... eet?s dat bluenose ?gosling?......"
"He?s no gosling, yer fat spanish waiter, he?s a swan, a beautiful swan. Now go an? get the drinks in for the lads..... and then fuck off back to Extremadura"

Dunno if anyone overseas wants this but bit of blab and the goal are available on wudar.com. Quality ... COYB
GOSLING the GREAT! Ecstatic at that, thoroughly deserved and all the sweeter for it being so long in coming!
Incidentally, just looked at setanta online and this comment from a VILLA FAN is of interest...
"From what I saw of Liverpool they really didn?t seem to want to win that game at all. I only really watched the last ten minutes plus extra time but if that?s how they played for the entire match then they got what they deserved.
As a Villa fan I have to say I am glad it?s Everton we have to play because we?ve already beaten them comfortably this season.
Mind you who knows, they might beat us just as comfortably, we?ll just have to wait and see. But for now I just wanna say well done to the team for beating their biggest rivals."
Good stuff, but they did not beat us comfortably did they!?! Let?s be having them as well on route to long overdue silverware in May!!!!
Let?s dare to dream... I?m backing the lads to sweep all before them on the road to Wembley! (Now you?re gonna believe us, we?re gonna....)

I just read the game report on Sky and it actually seemed a fair report. Gave credit to Everton for being the better side and also says that Jagielka played Torres off the park. Oh how sweet it is.
Thanks James,
I looked at the wudar site.
I was watching the game online, but was unable to see any replays of the goal after the whistle was blown. What a sweet victory. My Redshite friend is already arguing with me how they only had 10 men blablabla. I now truely believe. C?mon Moysey, let us usher in a new era for Everton FC.

Had to laugh at that ITV report, Jonny ? the bit about Fellaini leaving seeing us with ?no threat in the air?. Er, Tim Cahill... That header that went wide ? how high did the bloke get up!
Pretty high SC. Shame that Osman had his roller blades on and couldn?t nick it home at the far post.
Very proud of that performance tonight. We shouldn?t kid ourselves that it was pretty, but it was done with a bit of CLASS AND DIGNITY. We earned the right to play, remained patient when we got the 11v10, made bold substitutions to turn the game in our favour, and won with a goal at the sweetest of moments.
I?d love us to play the RS off the park with flowing football, but it did cross my mind a few times this week that it would be great to get a late goal in a 1-0 ? just to break their little black hearts!
It?s unfair to pick players out but Hibbert deserves a special mention ? in the last month he?s been exceptional and tonight was his finest hour.

I want to mention best wishes to Mikel for the Spain National Team, and oh how much he must of loved it putting one over his Spanish RS mates!
For all their ’talent’ and audacity to let Keane go without a replacement, we fucking undo them with a 19-year-old from Plymouth. Fuck the RS hahaha!!!

Everton, pleasingly, won what must rate as one of the worst football matches I?ve ever seen. Gosling?s score was inspirational stuff in what I can only term anti-football. Liverpool, for all their title pretensions, were awful, with little skill or challenge. If this is a nadir in Everton?s existence, so be it, but for them to reach the point were there are NO FORWARDS on the pitch, no cohesion amongst the team, with several players annonymous and yet a manger earning £3million quid for it is, frankly, appalling.
Aston Villa would stuff this team without breaking sweat under usual conditions. Liverpool didn?t play tonight. Maybe they thought all they had to do was turn up but this cannot hide the fact that Everton must be at the worst situation as a club they have ever been in. I saw Kenwright on the tv and thought both he and Moyes have brought this once great club to this point ? what a bloody shambles! They beat Liverpool ? SO WHAT!

Aston Villa next.. I smell blood... and I’m sure the blue boys can too. oooohhh ... sweet smell of revenge !!!!!
Stephen Stuart, what the fuck? Are you an Evertonian? If so, can?t you just be happy that we won? That?s the point of the contest after all. And Aston Villa? They can?t "stuff" anybody without the aid of an own goal and a bullshit penalty. Bring the motherfuckers on!
Go on Stephen Stuart, crack a little smile. You know you want to!
Stuart, granted, the stuff dished out by both teams weren’t great. But hey, Man U didn’t dish out great stuff when they beat us, neither did Arsenal when they drew with us, and Chelsea were crap shite @ Stamford Bridge.
So to mention Aston Villa will cream us because we didn’t play good football today just doesn’t make sense... and if I can recall, if not for 2 mistakes made at GP, we would have, if I can quote you, ’stuff’ Aston Villa.
Smile, and you will feel better. Worry when it comes. Let’s enjoy today for what’s worth.

What a peach of a cross by AVDM!!! Surely he would be better option on the wing than Osman.
Also massive praise has to go to Gosling and Rodwell who I thought were both excellent tonight. To both come on at such an important time in a massive game for us and excel like that is only good for us Toffees. Great effort and result.
I?m not unhappy that Everton won. It?s more about why the fuck they have to go to such lengths, to such dire circumstances to produce anything like an attempt to win. This is a war of attrition that has been brought about by the club?s own management. The football, whilst pleasingly not hoofball (at least as regular as it has been), is awful. And has been for most of the last 7 years. This to me is the pinnacle of BADNESS. A win is great but at what cost? Can you imagine any of the last 10 Everton managers, for example, not having a forward player in the starting line up?
Read the blog whilst the match was in progress. Everyone is saying how bad the play was. Yet it is all forgotten with the win. Until, that is, the next match when the ritual nonsense is repeated. Why does it have to be like this? I?ve watched Everton, with family and friends, for far too long. What I have seen since Moyes and Kenwright have been involved is absolutely the worst kind of football I have seen.

Moyes seems incapable of raising the standard ? even this win won?t change anything. He?s still got the same problems and still deals with them in his own cackhanded style. One which I am coming to despise. I am entitled to my view. If you are satisfied with it fine, but I?m not and will continue to say so.
Stephen, where did that come from? "They beat Liverpool ? SO WHAT" SO WHAT? ? are you for real? Proudest night in a long time. Enjoy the win. Savour the moment. Cherish this magnificent football club and how they can make you feel. I never felt more like singing the blues..........
All credit goes to Moyes. He was not only bold with his subs but also with his tactics. He was the only manager trying to win the game before pens.
Moyes was brave enough to put two teenagers on who did really well but then to be really brave and take off Neville to put Van der Meyde on was what won us the game.
In the end we were playing with only three defensive players in Jagielka, Lescott and Rodwell. Hibbert and Baines were pushing forward like wingers and then to put Van der Meyde on as another winger was brilliant!
Well done Moyes, you earnt that victory!

A great result, not a great performance. Everton out-fought the RS. They deserved the win. It must be remembered that Liverpool have not been able to beat Everton on the last 3 occasions. This is definitely a feather in the cap for Moyes.
Stephen,
with all due respect, the nonsense you are composing tonight is nothing short of shocking and highly inappropriate unless you are Tony Marsh’s son or something. Of course the game was shite to watch, but we fought like fucking lions with the little we had to slay the redshite dragon. I’ve been around for a bit and can remember the late 80’s and our Cup win in 1995 and to be this is one of the greatest nights in our history. Enjoy it, FFS, save your misery for another day, but not tonight, mate.

Stephen.......are you really Tony Marsh’s more depressing, misrable twin....?????
Lighten up....It’s a good day to be a blue!!!
Lighten up....It’s a good day to be a blue!!!
Trolling hard again I see Stephen, just like you did after we were beaten by a penalty at the home of the world champions. At least when we win Tony Marsh has the good grace to celebrate alongside us. You my friend are something else entirely.
Forget him boys, lets just celebrate 3 quality results! COYB!
Stephen, I am worried for you. Tell me where you live and I can find you a good psychotherapist.
Fantastic stuff!! Moyes indeed was bold while Rafa and his rich boys played for pens. Lescott and Jagielka and then Rodwell were so good that we played Baines and Hibbert as wing backs for the last hour. We fully deserved it and let’s ENJOY!!

According to my red shite boss, RAFA
didn?t want to win the FA Cup anyway ? he?s not interested in small cups only the Champions? League!! My reply ? you didn?t say that last year when you ended up winning nothing!! That shut him up.
Thanks to ITV for spoiling it for all us Evertonians watching, unable to go to the match, the crucial moment and the screen goes blank ? spoilt it for me not seeing the actual goal or the ectasy of my fellow blue supporters... never mind eh, we won and that?s all that matters. Love and kisses to the whole team.

Only one team tried to win that match! Another example of Bitternez’s being shown for the hypocrite he is.
Delighted that Stevie GBH had to depart from a game for which eh shoudl clearly have been suspended. I thought it was a cert that he would win the match for them because he’d had another referee in his pocket.
An absolute minger of a match to be fair, but thought we played a good game in extra time. A good mixture of attacking play and control.
Obviously, I’d have taken a goal that was defelcted in off somebody’s left testicle, but it was great to win it with a piece of quality play. More so that it was a youngster who had the cojones to go for it..

Anybody got a link to the goal? Want to watch it again and again in work today. Please post a good link if you have one?
Credit where credit is due, well done Moyes!
I thought it looked a dead cert for pens while DJ G was on the pitch and Ladyboy was fit. Once they lost their only two players of any real quality it was all blues! Funny old game.

It really doesn’t get better than beating the Shite! What a night!
Ignore Stephen Stuart lads, he only removes his tongue from Tony Marsh’ rectum for a few moments a day and as such you can’t really expect him to pen coherent posts or be able to express feelings of joy like the rest of us.

Dave - Look at the official EFC website "Gosling?s goal for free!" and enjoy!!

Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Cheers boys, it gets better every time I see it!
There was a lot to remember about the game last night but one thing will always stick in my mind.
Torres was disposessed by a fair challenge from Jagielka and immediately went down like a sack of spuds and laid motionless for about 30 seconds while Arteta took the ball promisingly down the right with two gobshite defenders screaming at him to stop and pointing at the dying ladyboy. No sooner did Arteta stop play than Torres stood up and walked away.
Now I know all players can get up to little tricks and I appreciate that Arteta has won a few freekicks that he wasn’t entitled to over the years, but that incident last night made me feel angrier at a match than I have for years. Not because it was Derby, or because it was Liverpool but because it was blatant cheating, it was obvious it was blatant cheating and the cheating bastard should have been booked.
I don’t condone diving, not even when Mikky does it but at least a diver runs the risk of a booking if the referee sees fit. Lying down pretending to be dead like that prone tart did last night is just despicable. In fact if I was him I would be embarrassed, but I’m not him and he won’t be will he because that is the sort of thing he does isn’t it?

Sorry I meant ’a Derby’. I know we didn’t play two teams last night!
Stephen Stuart, you are insane! You say: "Can you uimagine any of the previous 10 Everton managers starting a game without a striker?"
Well yes, actually, I can. I think every single one of them would’ve started without a recognised striker last night. If they wanted to win the game, anyway. If you hadn’t noticed, we have major injuries to Yakubu, Saha and James Vaughan - our three best strikers. Jo was cup-tied. That just leaves Victor. Training ground bust-ups aside, the lad has shown he is not yet ready to perform at this level. Yet, for some reason, you suggest playing him SIMPLY because he is a striker, ignoring his capabilities! I for one was delighted to see Tim Cahill up front. After all, he has done pretty damn well for us of late in that position.
One final thing: Moyes’ job last night was to get through to the next round of the cup. He achieved it. In doing so, his team restricted Liverpool (a side seriously challenging to be recognised as the best in England) to one real chance on goal.

If you hadn’t noticed, we have major injuries to Yakubu, Saha and James Vaughan - our three best strikers. Jo was cup-tied. That just leaves Victor. Training ground bust-ups aside, the lad has shown he is not yet ready to perform at this level. Yet, for some reason, you suggest playing him SIMPLY because he is a striker, ignoring his capabilities! I for one was delighted to see Tim Cahill up front. After all, he has done pretty damn well for us of late in that position.

"One more thing, when the picture came back on ITV, did anybody notice Reina and the other gobshites surrounding the ref, what was all that about? "....
I went mental when we scored, but turned around from my PE pugh to see VDM grab the ball and belt it away from Reina into the RS end, who wanted a quick restart - Pepe the Clown had a swing at him and VDM squared up - all i could think was ’oh no the ref is gonna send em both off and add 5 minutes’!! - thankfully the assistant ref saw it all and booked the spanish idiot.
VDM deserves a new deal now!

Ignore the trolls. Winning ugly will do for me.
Beautiful change of feet from Lord Gosling of Brixham and Walton.
Rodwell showed no fear. Jagielka owned bitch boy.

I would like to express what a disgrace I think it was that when Liverpool went down to 10 men they decided to go with everyone behind the ball and play for Penalties.
Football should be about attacking play and trying to score goals. It made a mockery of the game for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I would like to point out the sarcasm in my voice for those that cant pick up on these things!)
Its fucking different when the boots on the other foot, and you are the one with no attacking options isn't it you stupid little fat, crap goaty, twat.

Your boys took one hell of a beating! Cheesey I know. But god I'm a happy, happy man this morning.
I had a dream last night where we were playing Liverpool and after 20minutes Stevie G limped off with an injury and Torres got clattered by Lescott and limped and dived his way to the end of the game. I dreamt that the Liverpool fans disgraced themselves by throwing missiles onto the pitch. I had a very vivid dream of Lucas getting sent off and benitez face dropping in disgust. The dream got better when the TV conked out and when it came back we'd scored and the look on Sammyhead Lee and the Franco's head was glorious. I dreamt that Moyes came out and said we won with dignity and showed true grit.
Throughout the game Torres and the rest of the pansies dived their way through the game showing to all the neutrals that they are detestable shower of shites. I also dreamt that all the Moyes knockers on Toffeeweb would give him some credit for bringing on the young lads and change the game. I even dreamed that AVDM had a part in the goal. Weird but true, dreams dont get any better than this. Thanks Everton for making my month! Depression!... What depression?
Does the late introduction of AVDM into possibly the biggest game of our season represent him having served his time in Davey's bad books ? particularly with his space on the naughty step being hastily filled by young Victor....!!
I know his history splits opinions amoungst fans but surely, popular or unpopular, with 14 games to go, and a cup game vs Villa for which Pienaar will be suspended, the time has come to look for some return from the one member of our squad who offers something different to what we do..... he can go past a man, he can cross a ball and he does give the side genuine width when on the field - whether from he start or off the bench??
The City's all ours, the city's all ours, fuck off to Norway, the city's all ours!!

Give Stephen Stuart a break. David Moyes was amazingly bold but all Stephen is doing is trying to keep our feet on the ground. Quite often David Moyes does the right thing because he is forced into it. Still, it?s no time to be churlish. I've just called into the pub on the way home from work and the effort of our team has gave me the best hour (couple of hours) I?ve had in many a long day.
Incidentally, Dave Roberts has made a very pertinent point. Torres confirmed that he is a cheat and I believe that cheating is coached at Anfield.
LFC, no dignity, no grace, no class. Up to Roy Evans I respected them. When he was back stabbed they became a club without integrety.
Reina got his knickers in a twist as one of our boys picked up the ball and ran off with it to stop the rs kicking off. Not sure why he was so upset, they had been playing for penalties for previous hour, they can’t have been in that much of a hurry - anyone see him look round at the clock as he prepared for a goal kick with about 7 minutes to go. Anyway, who cares? They are all graceless tossers.
Best night ever in Goodison. I love Everton.
Best night ever in Goodison. I love Everton.
One of the interesting aspects of Everton?s performance last night related to the issue of how they played when up against 10 men. Especially in these later years of watching Everton (55 in total), I have rarely seen Everton comfortable in adapting their game to these circumstances, often resorting to long high balls up to the front players, thus handing an easy defensive task to any half-decent centre back etc.
Last night they did as they should, trying to pass the ball and make the 10 men run. Better late than never and better in these circumstances than any other!
As everyone has said here, there were so many good features but surely Jagielka and Lescott will never play better in their careers as they have done in these last few matches, Jagielka at the moment is only a few short steps away (more composure on the ball and better passing range) from becoming a defender of true world class status.
But I would call a bit of a halt on the AVDM "adulation" ? for the Lord?s sake he was on the pitch for a few minutes and put in one cross ? of course it led to the goal but I am equally convinced he did not "pick out Gosling with pin-point accuracy". This guy must have ability but let?s not go overboard quite so readily!
Equally, let?s not put too much expectation on the shoulders of the two youngsters but Rodwell in particular looks a tremendously composed young man. It does throw into stark relief the demeanour and recent contributions from Anichebe which, if there is any truth in the reports of his bust-up, must surely mean that he is shifted out as soon as possible. The last thing this apparently tightly knit spirit holding Everton together at the moment is Anichebe?s woeful attitude both on and off the pitch.
Good point Anthony.
When Chelsea were reduced to 10 men last year we played as if they still had the upper hand.
Last night was totally different; we played with real belief and even Moysey had the balls to send out a clear message to go and win the game especially when he brought Andy VDM on for Neville.
I still think we have a difficult end of season looming but for now let's settle for beating the cheaters, whingers and manipulators.

So... Jo was cup-tied for the cup game against the Shite! Does that been he?s cup-tied for the Villa game..?
I don?t pray, but if i did I would pray for:
1. Stephen Stuart?s depression to be cured by a 5-0 win on Saturday.
2 Benitez to stay at Mordor for ever they?ll always be shite while he?s there. 3. Tic Tacs to be declared poisonous
4. Robbie Keane to come out and say how he?s pissing himself laughing and
5. The roadworks on the M60 to be finished.

Let?s not criticise Rafa to much. His destruction of LFC must continue. It is wonderful to behold.
Michael Mcguirk. Yes, Jo is cup-tied for the rest of the season. He cannot play for us in the FA Cup at all. Maybe that's a reason why Moyes may have tried to get a foreign striker as well as they would not have been cup-tied.
Annoyingly we're not going to be able to play it for a while but can I suggest a game to play for all football fans? This would work best in a ground with a big fan section behind the dugouts (i.e. not Goodison).
Whenever he is up on his feet he seems to have an automatic reaction whereby his hands are lifted up from his sides in a 'oh come on ref' kind of gesture.
I just thought (seeing as he seemed to do it almost every time the camera was on him last night) it'd be very funny to see all of the oppoisition fans copying him to point out quite how ridiculous he looks (and how often he does it).
Miserable sod!
Moyes: "At Everton we like to do things with class & dignity even when we win." That is a classic line to pull out if I ever heard one. Answer everything they (FSW) have thrown at us.
Does anyone else sense a strange, but high amount of confidence coming out of Everton these days? It's scary, but a lot of people on here put us down for a win too!

As I’m sure you lot are too!
I’ve just now found out the result (6.45pm EST time or 11.45pm UK time)...I had to go out after work and then meet the Mrs for a food shop and then plow through a rather long text version of the match report (haven’t seen any live action or clips yet) but just looking at the substitutions this looks like a changed DM.....they should give the man the keys to the frigging city (so he can lock out that fat fucking shite that runs that red mob across the way there).
WELL DONE MEN IN BLUE!
WELL DONE DM!!
And Gerrard is still a wanker!!!!!!!!
