Can't stop grinning like an idiot.
So many great things from today's match:
- The constant pressure on the ball.
- The passing game from a diminutive, ball playing line-up (Distin aside - but he gets a pass because of his defensive abilities)
- Bilyaletdinov finally looking up for the battle — for 60 minutes at least.
- Two young guys scoring vital goals. And Bily is only 24, as well.
- Prima Donovan looking like a world class midfeilder.
- Moyes's subs turning golden.
- A 'character' performance without Cahill.
- The chance to stick it up my brother in law.
- And every other front runner who still thinks Van Nistelrooy plays in red.
- My wife finally having an interst in football. Thankyou Shirtless Jack Rodwell.
COYB!

That was a great game. And two vital moments from Distin, that were crucial: his tremendous block on Obertan, and a feint glance on Rooney's free-kick that kept the shot off-target.
Wins against the top 4 just like waiting for a bus, but its oh so sweet to board the bus!! Great win today.
Fantastic, historical match. We have no reason to fear a single team in the league. What a character performance as you said, from everyone on the pitch.
Honestly the embrace of the people is classic Goodison Park celebration. What an atmosphere. As much as this season is turning around, I really can’t wait for next season to have a fair crack at things.

Yeah my wife noticed that bit as well, funny.
Fantastic win, outplayed, outfought and even outpassed them at times.

Christmas already?
Nearly safe for another season now ......
I wonder, I just wonder - can we hunt down 4th or 5th?

Great day - quality and great qualities all over the park.
Osman had a very good one today. Playing in Europe is good for him because he spends more time on the ball, building his confidence, and probably his leg muscles too.
Will Sunshine Superman really want to leave all this behind, I wonder?

Yes, Jarrod. I’ve just got back from the pub after one of the best days I’ve ever had. The only Evertonian in a pub In Newtownards (I think Ciaran McGlone will appreciate my valour.)
The only Evertonian in the bar. Pelted with beer mats. Yet fuck them. We were done proud today. This why we support Everton. What a day!
I screamed at the top of my lungs when Gosling Scored.. and I almost blew my house down when Rodwell Scored!!
And it’s almost midnight here in Malaysia... my neighbors must be cursing me like hell.. but who cares!!!... I texted my Manure friends, Redshite friends... Arsenal friends and anybody else on my phone list... couldn’t help it... too damn happy!!!

Push on now Blues. On to Lisbon and another win. And afterwards home to Blighty and another famous win at The Lane would be nice. 3+3+3 = 9 points from fixtures some would have predicted no return at all, save embarrassment.
I bow my head to David Moyes — two back-to-back come from behind wins against the Sky 4, is an incredible achievement. I am a fan of DM, but have always been critical of his in-game stategies. He got his tactics spot on today. 2 subs - 2 goals.
La la la la ....

Credit to all the players, that was deserved. We beat them convincingly then, and it was by no means an unfair scoreline. Bily and Donovan both wasted gilt edged chances to put the game to bed earlier, we no doubt had the better chances in this game.
But most of all, credit to David Moyes. He has turned this club around yet again, and put the belief back into the players after an awful start to the season due to injury. Yet again, so many people proved wrong about his managerial ability. With the run in we have, Europe is in our own hands now. And with the form we are in, I think we will make it. LMA manager of the year again? You better believe it.

Don’t stop grinning, Jarrod. Go and get shitfaced (if you haven’t already did that... pretty late there, ain’t it) and sleep this off. Lads did their best and I don’t have brains right now for analyzing, just for sipping booze and yes, grinning.
Well done and congrats to all. COYB!
NB. Ahh, yes.... Next, please!

The Sky Sports Wayne Rooney Show ! What a game. Every player was superb, Osman and Donovan were running the show. We’ve got the beating of the Sky4 now. We’ll be in the Sky4 next season. COYB
Just got back from the game-month of death? MY ARSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great game started slowly and when Berbatov scored I thought Oh Fuck long day, but all credit to the boys especially midfield because we outplayed them, just shows you we’ve played the sky 4 in the last 2 months and beaten 2 of them should beat the Arse and we’ve been done by RS kickers.
When Moyes subbed Bily for Gosling, I said to everyone what a terrible substitution-what do I know. 3 great goals, great win. get the ale in

6 points against the chavs and mancs!!! Totally made up.
Anyone think SAF made a big booboo. Gary Neville at right back?! What was he thinking off. Surely that’s like playing against 10 men.
I’m little worried about our left back situation, the mancs seemed to find alot of room down that side and past Bainsey.

Tonight, here in Thailand, I am ec-fuckin-static!! So many reasons to be happy:
less long balls
Jack Rodwell’s goal
no Fellaini or Cahill
character, character, character
the immense John Heitinga
Danny Gosling’s shin!!
Osman playing like I have never seen...
oh, and Bilyaletdinov’s strike.
Fuck, this is good!!! To all my fellow Blues, let’s get fucked up and enjoy this evening!!!!

Now we need to redevelop Goodison. Before I would’ve accepted a move, no longer, Goodison is our home, and tonight it was our 12th, 13th and 14th man. A big shout out to all that attended today!!

Well, eating humble pie. Credit to all (including Moyes!!! ) involved today, inspired substitutions, out fighting, and out playing utd, and well deserved. It showed today, and against Chelsea, Arsenal,that when we go for it, we can give the so called top 4 a game, thats all I have been asking for from Moyes, to show some balls, and he proved he had a set today, long may it continue.
Awesome - absolutely awesome...
BUT - I think we earned it out of sheer determination more than anything... Pienaar was a shadow of himself, Arteta had a dog of a game in my eyes, Louis did fine but how many shots did he manage to get off? Our crossing from both Nev and Leighton was woeful — that aside, Distin and Johnny I thought were magnificent (if only JH would stop giving away uneccesary corners)

My Man of the Match was Donovan — I take my hat off to him, assured, dangerous, attacking, skilful, experience... DESIRE — he had everything today for me, his victory. Oh and the young lads — perfect.
That gap between 8th and 4th is looking all that little tighter all of a sudden.
COYB! Fucking brilliant.
Still got no respect for Moyes, Michael?
Today just showed that we don’t half have some belters posting on here as per the respect thread.
Well done David Moyes - MOTM Leon Osman.
Some blurts will probably still come on saying he should have brought on Coleman.

God, I am one proud Blue today, to think we have come from being 3-0 down at half time to Hull back in October to beating Chelsea and United in successive games - convincingly aswel.
Throw in the fact we dominated Arsenal at the Emirates, even forcing notoriously biased Arsene Wenger to admit it should of been 3-1 to Everton.
The turn around is untrue.
I don’t know if I’m correct here, but had it not been for such a terrible start to the season and a morale sapping 6-1 home defeat to Arsenal, we would surely be on the road to a top 3 Premier League finish?

John, thats what I keep asking myself. had Moyes had is squad back in September, where would we be now?
Billy the boot , the wizard of Goz , and Jack the Lad.....did we stuff em......Yes we did !!!!
Yes Yes Yes.
Just got back from the match and can’t stop grinning. A great team performance and I agree that there was not doubt of the better team on the day.
I do think United were not at there best, however, I don’t think that should in anyway take away from beating two top 4 - sorry I mean 3 - teams on the bounce.
I am one happy Evertonian

Chant of the day at Gary Neville: ’You’re just a shit Phil Neville’
The irony, Gareth, surely lost on you and all the others who post such tripe, is that this was just exactly what people like me have been asking for from Everton and David Moyes for months and months and months. Unlike you and your fellow Moyes Apologists, we knew it was not unreasonable to expect the players Moyes had collected to play to this standard. Yet we were repeatedly told by wiser minds who claimed to know far more about the current game called Premier League football — that such things were not possible.

Respect? There was the answer today. 2 inspired substitutions won the game for us. Sometimes it’s better to hold fire for a moment.
Heitinga peerless again. Osman has now had a run of games in CM and is showing the benefit of it. Donovan gives us real energy in midfield, and has been better when up against the toughest opposition. Excellent all round. Hope we can take it to Lisbon.

For God’s sakes Michael, this was not some new Toffeweb way of playing but a team playing EXACTLY the Moyes way - 4-5-1 at home, defending from the front, closing people down at every opportunity, huge team ethic etc. etc..
The idea that when we win we are not really playing like a Moyes team is just utter bollocks. We even had Neville and Osman playing!

Michael, and as for you negative, non-believing constant moaning people, you also fail to see what the reality is. Moyes has never asked his team to do anything different. He just didn’t have the personnel available to do it previously.
So don’t try and defend yourself with the saving face comment of ’I always said Everton should play like that’. You simply cannot play in that way, without having good, settled players available. They were not there earlier in the season. So save your ’I always knew Everton could play like that if they tried attacking’ comments as it is so easy to see through it. We haven’t played a different game today, it was still one up front, with your favourite player Osman in the middle, and no Coleman who you have advocated as being the one who can make a difference. If anything, I would say we were fairly average today (Pienaar, Arteta, Baines, Bily), we just happened to take our chances more clinically. 3-1 does slightly flatter us to be brutally honest.

People, people, people....
Let’s enjoy today. Let’s not slip into political arguements. All fan’s have an opinion, that’s football. Can we enjoy this without recrimination.
Michael is alowed his opinion, like we all are. Let us enjoy how we shackled and hassled Man U into submission. Shame on anyone who wants to start playing top trumps.
I’m feeling on top of the world and I can’t wait for every game now.
Come on you Blues!!!!!!
(fuck!! that was so good, my neighnours must’ve thought there was murder going on in my house!!! C’mon boys, lets not spoil this.)

Turn it in Michael. The only one talking tripe in here at the moment is you. You really have no clue at all.
Try giving a bit or praise for David Moyes when it is due. He has built this Everton side and what a wonderful side it is. Yet again we are competing at the upper end of the table despite having a meagre transfer budget.
What a fabulous manager we have in Mr Moyes. Yet you have ’no respect’ for him. None whatsoever.
Idiot.

Blimey, enjoy the moment. Tear each other up tomorrow.
For what it is worth, though, I cannot recall Ossie playing like he did today. He brimmed with skill and his distribution was the best on the pitch.
Faded a little at the end, as he is wont to do, but my MOTM

To support Dan, we are playing exactly the way we played a year ago when we also had a lot of our strongest players available.
And, guess what? To all those who deride the Moyes defensive ethic, a lot of the reason we won today is because he has coached players like Arteta, Osman, Pienaar and now Bily to relentlessly chase down their attacking players. Our second goal was because Valencia did not do the same.
Wenger, Mancini, Wilkins and now Ferguson have all graciously and admiringly acknowledged that we outplayed them. They don’t just mean that we outpassed them; they mean we did not allow them to play. Like it or not, that is the Moyes way, so don’t pretend otherwise.

What’s makes Michael’s posts so amusing is that he gives it the old "finally, this is what I have been asking for" every few weeks! He did it after Arsenal, he did it after Chelsea, he did it after Man City. Piece them all together and you’ll notice that he’s reluctantly praising his arch enemy a couple of times every month, all-the-time insisting that Moyes is finally taking his advice. Fair play, you’ve gotta admire his persistance!
Woah Dan!
I thought it was all about having money and being realistic? It’s not, it’s about assembling and motivating a squad of decent players.
THIS is how Everton teams should play — passion, precision, movement!
Take Bily’s £11 million off and what did that team cost?
Brilliant display and, once more, there is no better place to be in football then Goodison Park on nights and days like this — no atmosphere like it... Awesome!
Remembering comments about Osman not turning up against Sky 4!!!He didnt put a foot wrong today!!! I thought having 3 technical players in the centre mid in the form of Osman, Arteta and Pienaar won us the game some lovely little triangles!!! Why when we win convincingly do pundits always put it down to hard work, shape and discipline, never do we win by outplaying teams with great passing and skill!!! Think if we beat Tottenham 4th spot is a possibility after that game we have a pretty easy run till the end of the season!!! Does anyone find it convenient that Rooney and Moyes have made there peace, now nothing is stopping Moyes for the united job!!!COYBs
Thats what annoys me most Paul, he tries to make out that Moyes is ’finally’ following what he has been asking for. Even though the football playing style is no different! The equaliser was a ’hoofball’ as he would put it. It’s as if Moyes has sent him a text saying ’you know what Kenrick, you were right. Thanks for your wonderful insight, and making me a better football manager.’
I don't normally get so annoyed, but the sheer arrogance of the guy wound me up today. But you are right, it's time to enjoy it.

Ossie for England?

The result was great but why oh why were we so poor against redshite?
Today they played football because that’s the only way to play Manure. Sure we were dodgy early on when Bainsy was giving Valencia too much room but this new Everton has the spirit to come back and very few teams have done that against Chelsea and Manure.Even Osman had a great game and I never thought I would ever say that. Mikel is still rusty but with the fringe players coming off the bench to win the game we can only savour the future.Well done you Blue Boys.

Dan B 3-1 flattered us ??? How could it , that was the actual score.
Manure are not the team they once where and their best player Ie Rooney never plays well against us. That apart they are 2nd and have had a very good run recently.
Heitinga & Donovan played well today and Osman was excellent but in truth there was no stand out 10 out of 10 performers, what there was though was players playing in there favoured positions. ie Osman rightly gets stick when played wide right. I know some smartarse will say Bily and Landon where on the wrong sides but playing that way was how Bily scored and it’s an excepted tactic now.
Great result i just hope Moyes will play for wins from now till the end of the season with the belief we can beat anyone.

On the Nosey.

that was the first time manure have dropped points in a game they have took the lead, credit where its due the whole team played brilliant. Osman is a centre midfielder and he has often shone playing there as opposed to the wing. Makes me laugh that our ’negative’ substitions in Gosling and Rodwell were the people that were highest up the pitch to get goals. The commentators were just starting to have their own rant on Moyes tactics and reluctance to try and sit out a win when Gosling scored.
Best thing for me was how we didn’t then just sit back and grind out the result we then pushed on and extended the lead. Well played by all on the night.

John G,
Now I'm on a right downer. But as they say in footy "what will be will be" or Que saha saha!
Saw the the game in the pub in sunny Cornwall and apart from the class finishing for the goals i thought the moment for me was that tackle from Distin. How can you put it, well timed world class, poetry, but for me that said everything about the way Moyes the manager, who after the mid-week episode is the guy who instead of giving the hairdryer treatment too, puts his arm around the player and consloes him. Well done DM.
Over the last few games there will be one manager who will look at our Leon with covetous eyes and that man my friends is one A Wenger.
He would wish that this, our little dynamo, played along side Fabregas and all the rest. Sorry Arse, He's ours and he stays put!!
I've thought for quite a while that our football was starting to match those of the Sky three. I also think that there are more teams in the league than the top three. IT'S THOSE TEAMS WE NEED TO BEAT.
Let's enjoy the day, sort out Lisbon and the Totty, and then get revved up for all those teams who will become, as we did, "dogs of war"
Well done everyone today at our "mecca" you really did us proud. I will of course be keeping a watchful eye on the media as to how this goes down. Let's have chat about this in midweek and discuss what was said about us and more importantly by whom. It should be fun.

Simon Gosling came on for fresh legs and Rodwell to tighten things up , it was just Utd didn’t push us as expected and we took advantage.
sorry i meant the commentators were calling our substitutions were negative and defensive not that I did
Ive just got back from the match, and i have to day osman was outstanding today, i know he gets knocked a lot, but i was very impressed with him today.
i like probably everything else, when he baught gosling on, i thought, oh no hear we go moyes doesnt want to go for it, but boy was i wrong, inspired sub!
and then rodwells goal, well that can i say, it was so well taken, not many people beat van de saar one on one like that... all in all, awesome display today, thats both chelsea and manure put to the sword at goodison....
were gonna win the league!!
(only joking but im just so happy right now!!)

I thought oh no Rodwell a bad substitution in light of the midweek game. When he scored my lad nearly laughed me out of the pub.
Sometimes it.s just great to be wrong. Dont you think Mr Sparke.

Just got back from the match! What a great comeback . . . and how poor are Man U?
I think we have done well against Man C, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U because they all tried to play football themselves - allowing our midfield just a bit more time and space to play ourselves. We get the ball off them and give it to Ozzie, Peanuts, Jason or Micky - who can actually do something given a few yards.
Against average sides who harry and chase (RS and Brum in the cup), we had no time in midfield as they were too busy trying to jump out of the way of tackles - resulting in the back four resorting to hoofball.
Carry on like this and who knows? Makes those points dropped at home to the likes of Wolves and Stoke expensive now.
Time for some serious beer!

If only we’d played like this earlier in the season ! Never mind no use crying over spilt milk. If we continue to put in performances like this we could even nail fourth spot !!! Anyone else think that Rooney seemed to lack appetite for this match. Osman was excellent and all goals well taken and though Baines seemed vulnerable in the first half things tightened up later and he got some decent crosses in. From time to time we paniced and hit the ball anywhere when under pressure which gave them the advantage. Still must’nt carp after a famous victory. David Moyse will be manager of the month for second consecutive month.
We’ll still be on last on Match Of The Day....
I have to admit it: Osman was huge in midfield. Loads of time on the ball and protected it very well. Running endlessly. COYB!!!
I’ve often critisized Osman in the big games. Credit where credit is due- Osman stood out today. Heitinga was excellent. An all around great team effort.
What a win! Absolutely fuckin awesome, I think the crowd won man of the match. I remember sitting there in the second half saying, "This is how I know Everton can play."
I am ecstatic and so are my sons who are yank Evertonians. It's early here in the States, is it too early to start drinking?....too late,

Donovan's got to come back to Goodison — it's his spiritual home.
Great performance, Osman my Man of the Match by a country mile, looks so much better in central midfield, three good goals and even Howard Webb couldn’t win it for them with some shite decisions all day, hats off to the boys and lost my voice from singing and screaming in the Park End, please Everton do that every week not just in fits and starts. Wish we had the cash and chance to keep Donovan he looks and acts like an Everton player should.
Matthew Lovekin my sentiments..................Match of the day, Duncan Edwards, Newton Heath, Dennis Law, Sky Sports, Busby Babes, Terry Christian, Tommy Doherty, Granada Reports, Eamonn Holmes, Brian Robson, Mick Hucknall, George Best, Rupert Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch can you hear me, Your boys took a hell of beating, Your boys took a hell of beating!
Great result! Been out all day and recorded the match on my sky box. Spent all afternoon avoiding radios, tellys, footy fans and anywhere where I could hear the result.
Brilliant performance from our blues!
Big thankyou to Moysie and all the lads.

Like the majority of you, I’m basking in the glow of today’s immense victory. The lads put in an honest and committed effort. Cheers to them and Mr. Moyes. It’s great when it all comes together. Let us push on! COYB!!!
Just over the moon, more of the same please
I hold my hand up as being one of Osmans critics. After this brilliant performance, will he go on making me look like a fool? I bluddy well hope so.
Wrote an article on here re Leon after the Chelsea game. Lots of support for a man who gets lots of stick on here.
OK- sometimes frustrating, but those out there who say he CANNOT deliver against the best-STFU.
He can and thats not to say he always will.
Remember the next time we see unfair or personalised critisism, how well he has played against two of THE BEST teams not just in the prem but also Europe.
Well done Leon and as a supporter of the club i hope he maintains these standards.
Anyone who thinks otherwise-Why?

I am not one of Leon Osmans biggest fans, but I must say how much he contributed to the display and overall performance. We played the ball around in midfield superbly, bringing back memories of the fargone days.
