"...Belgians showed they not only do they have wonderful chocolate-making abilities but also goal-making abilities..."

"...leader, orchestrator, director, hole filler and captain with no armband."

Ken, you are always the Grantland Rice of TW... but today, when our boys in blue created pure art for you to describe, you hit the heights.

What a wondrous day it must have been at Goodison. Thanks for sharing it with the faraway TV supporters.

At the end of the game the only word that came to mind was 'comprehensive'! The largest win in 25 years and the pressure is now on the gooners and our boys are flying high. The game plan was executed to perfection and Arsenal had nothing to offer in response.

Ken's MOTM was Barry and I couldn't argue with that selection, however, the team was truly together and there was no player who did not play their part. For me, it was the constant pressure and incisive attack that was so pleasing to see. The game plan to attack the channels between the full backs and the centre backs on both sides was brilliant. Lukaku and Naismith were incredibly active and clinical in their runs. The support from Mirallas and Barkley provided vision and energy and Barry and McCarthy covered with aplomb. Stones had some early moments of jitters but he grew in the game with Distin the solid rock. That only leaves Baines and Coleman and the ever present Tim Howard. These three frequently take the accolades but today did what they do best; get the ball forward quickly and provide the necessary cover when it was required.

There is still lots of work ahead but the boys did it today......and it was good! I am so far away, however, I have never been closer.

I'm getting addicted to this; the wife is going mad, my two boys are loving it and even granny is being informed by a 5-year-old about who scored the own goal... :)

Breathing for first time in a long long time. Freedom & Joy. Wonderful.

As an expat scouser living in Finsbury Park (deep in Arsenal territory), yesterday was always gonna be an interesting day for me. Seeing the sad faces flow out of the boozer down the road was poetry.

Seeing the Irish Cafu juggling the ball for 30 yards, and then later skinning their left back like Cruyff was the icing for me, that lad is just getting better and better.

Chase-Smith now turning into more than his name (admittedly a name only I call him!) and putting in some brilliantly intelligent performances whether from the start or as an impact sub.

And Rom running straight to RM was a show of togetherness that was touching and promising given the gossip about the big lad recently.

Great day for the club, with two winnable games coming up, we could have a good grip on 4th before the return of 'The dozing one' on Easter Sunday, which I can see as a bigger statement game than this one.

Great times, great team and a spirit that has always been there, but now it has shifted to a 'We KNOW we can win this' from the previous 'We Might be able to not lose this'.

Times like this are very distant and young memories for me as I was 6 in 87, so to have a team playing like this near the top of the league is awesome, long may it continue.

Seriously this is surely the best team since 1985 ?

My MotM would have to be Distin, all were great but he continually laid down a marker by letting the Arse front men know he was around.

This one was a bit special, maybe a watershed moment for us. I certainly shouted louder and more aggressively than ever as our goals went in. Yes, this one WAS special.

Onwards and upwards!

I head a little snippet from the TalkSport commentary driving home tonight and the summariser said 'we've just witnessed an Everton side who have played Arsenal off the park" - hope nobody noticed me grinning like a big eejit whilst stuck in traffic!

It's great to hear the buzz from the crowd when he makes a forward run, not those predictable groans we heard not that long ago. His whole body language has changed – now he looks confident, hungry and eager... and he's beginning to thrive on the new-found adulation. Long may it continue!

Hopefully we can take that fight and attitude on the road to Sunderland this weekend... two massive matches this week! COYB!
