Blackburn 0 - Everton 1

Well well well , that was a close call eh?! What a weird match too - a tale of three penalties (you don't hear that very often) although the only important thing was we scored ours. At the end of the day a win is a win no matter how you get it and three points and our first league win is very welcome :-)

Having said that we were a bit lucky from all reports I've heard back from those who went - obviously they missed two pens before ours and also had the better of the game and chances. One of their boys even managed to smash one off our bar when it was easier too score ha ha!

Big Fella managed to do something similar though apparently - a lovely ball was played into him and all he had to do was stroke it home. Which he managed to not do and put it over doh!! I blame the afro still! He did redeem himselfy though by winning our pen at the end - it surprised me though cos most refs automatically give the foul against him in challenges. Well done to Mikel too for keeping his nerve and slotting it home - you always knew he would :-)

Lady Luck at least smiled on us for once so heres hoping she continues too :-)
