Everton 0 - Stoke 1

No no no!!!!! after the recent good form and wins I fully expected us to beat Stoke too. don't get me wrong, its never easy against them but with being at home thought we would have enough to do it.

from the sounds of it the boys put their all in and we played well enough but just couldn't carve a goal out against a resolute Stoke defence. seems once we went down to the Huth goal they shut up shop and we couldn't prise them open despite trying our best.

oh well theres always next week :-)

RIP Gary Speed



not gonna say a lot cos what can you say apart from condolances to his family & friends and is a terrible tragedy. rip speedo - everton legend

Bolton 0 - Everton 2

whats this i see - about as common as an honest politician , its an everton clean sheet :-) v good to see one though as not kept one for ages i don't think and a great win for the boys too

the star of the show was Big Mau Mau - he was superb and ran it for us. looks like signing that new contract has given him an extra spring in his step. and of course he netted the first goal - what a goal too , lovely teamwork and football culminating in a cross from Bily and a neat finish from the big guy.

talking of  Bily as well - what a game he had. actually playing in his natural position he was mint and looked every inch the player i thought he always was. still think he can make it with us and is quality and was so happy to see him do well and get some praise.

great second goal too from velios - after coming off the bench again too! looks like we've got our very own super sub. must be all those tips from big dunc - glad he ignored the 'grab him round the throat if he gives you any lip' one ha ha (sorry only joking big dunc) :-)

all in all a great win so well done boys :-)

Everton 2 - Wolves 1

so glad we managed to scrape through and win this one!! really needed it as i think it could have been the start of a downward run with confidence at rock bottom if we hadn't. sometimes it takes a scrappy win like this to get your season going (seems this turning points in a season after a poor few months are a feature of the Moyseiash reign)

can't remember too much about the match although that bloody Hunt scored again against us didn't he?!! that man has deffo got something over us , he loves scoring at Goodison. maybe we should buy him and then it would be ok ha ha!  loved Baines pen for the winner , v cool & calm - just rolled it in like he was practicing. which is the point i guess ha ha :-)
