truth be told it was a classic game of two halves though - we were not that great in the first and were probably a bit lucky to go in only one down. now common sense tells us that Moyesy must have got stuck into them at the interval as they were a different team after the break. although Big Dunc had made a highly public visit to Goodison for this match so maybe he got in there and shook a few of them up. can imagine how Big Dunc having you up against the wall by your throat and telling you to get your finger out would motivate you ha ha. so glad he was there by the way - living legend whatever anyone says and always will have a place in my heart.
anyway second half we slaughtered them - the catalyst on the pitch seemed to be a particularly crunching tackle from Jack and the resultant flare up. they don't like it up them Captain. the other thing that seemed to swing the game in our favour was Tiger Tim coming on. not sure why as he is only half fit and a bit rusty but it just seemed to unnerve them and make them panic. he won the free kick that we equalised off - fine delivery into the box and great header from Sylvain. and what about the winner eh?! Little Ossie continues his fine form of late with a great run and header that flew over their keeper into the net. fantastic lad!
the best thing for me then happened actually after the whistle when a proper bust up occurred which resulted in Nev giving Mancini and Platt what for in no uncertain terms and having to be held back. seems like they were trying to have a go at Shay and our Captain wasn't standing for any of it. well done Phil - its that sort of spirit and sticking together that makes us so much better than any other team.
