From my seat: Newcastle (H)
Last game of the season and Blues were out in force for this one as our local pub confirmed by the numbers in early, strangely the numbers in our ale house are a remarkably good guide to the days attendance. Today's turnout reflected the plus 39,000 at the game.

From my seat: Wolves (A)
Two points dropped from a game that drove this fan mad as we produced the football that should have ensured a comfortable victory but a combination of poor first touches and lack of shots when we were in the box did for us.

Everton Still Hold the Indian Sign Over Swansea
Everton became only the third team to win at the Liberty Stadium this season, stifling Swansea's much-vaunted passing game and eventually turning on the style in the second half to record a handsome victory

Everton Res 0 - 0 Liverpool Res
The game time will help the first team players but a bright and purposeful Liverpool side easily outplayed their experienced opponents. Osman aside, Everton?s first team players wasted their chance to impress the watching David Moyes.

From my seat: QPR (A)
QPR away and with them having a poor record on home soil gave many a Blue thoughts of three points but a disjointed performance saw us grateful to come away with just one point and on a unbeaten eight game run.

Breakfast with Big Nev!
was delighted to have the opportunity to attend a Media Breakfast courtest of ToffeeWeb to launch the as yet untitled autobiography of one Neville Southall. With holidays left to take from work, what better way to use one than meeting one of our best ever players and one of my favorite ever players. Needless to say I was very excited to attend.

From my seat: Wigan (A)
Another Howard howler has us on the back foot but Big Vic rose to rescue a point when, after such gritty and determined displays against both Fulham and City were set aside, we played as though it was our right to win and the build up play was so slow it gave Wigan a lift.

Everton 2 - 1 Fulham ? 'GoodFellas'
Everton booked their place in the 5th Round last night. The Toffees came from behind thanks to Denis Stracqualursi's first goal for the club and Marouane Fellaini's winner. Fulham's last win at Goodison Park came in 1975; a run that never looked like ending.
: 28/01/2012
From My Seat: Fulham (Cup)
A win and in the next round of the cup. Not getting to carried away with it as cup ties are rarely any barometer of league form. It should serve to bolster confidence a little and perhaps bring a little more self belief back.

Much, Much More Like It
Everton 2-1 Fulham.It?s great to be in the hat before everyone else plays and we can now just relax, see who goes through and see who we draw in the next round.

From my seat: Blackburn (H)
Blackburn, from the bottom three of the league, turn up with a handful of travelling fans and met a Blues side who seemed hell bent on taking their place in the bottom three, such was the apology for a game that I have witnessed at Goodison for some time.

Just when things seem to be looking up
?Good day for the game today eh?? said my other half. I didn?t have a clue what she was on about until I looked outside. Heavy rain and high winds?oh Lord?this didn?t look as though it was going to be fun.

United Prove Too Strong for Battling Everton
Everton couldn't find a way through Manchester United and succumbed to their first defeat in this fixture in four seasons.
: 29/10/2011
From my seat: Man Utd (H)
Overall I found it a frustrating game as all through I thought Utd were there to be beat but we just did not seem to have the self-belief and afforded them too much respect.
