What pains me most about our team is how weak the midfield is, people expect great things from Mikel and reckon he's the best DM in the league lmao.

The reality is Mikel couldn't get in any other team what competes for top 4. Ramires is a good player but we don't know how long that will last as his game relies on pace.

The dude in your avatar is one of the greatest midfielders we've ever had, and the funny thing is some people on this forum reckons Mikel has potential to match his level.

Agree with that 100%.

at Spurs. AVB being screwed at Goodison once again.

Everton deserved the win anyway. Dominated the game. Created the better chances. Those were pretty sporadic for Spurs and they got lucky with their goal.

With that win. Everton move up into 4th. Spurs drop to 5th. West Brom go down to 6th. All 3 have 26 points though and they sit 3 points behind us. None of them can overtake us next weekend in the league UNLESS they rack up the goals to cover up the GD.

There's only 1 PL game while we're away? Good then that we stay in 3rd.

Ya Ya on the weekend thought be more and come back halfway down the table lol..good job not!

[The Mak 4,459]

okay nevermind

Now I know it's bad and all, but c'mon, you can't say that's not the least bit funny!

It's a derby, emotions are high etc., so Rio stupidly goes to celebrate in front of the City fans, then someone stupidly throws a coin and Rio gets one in the eye...well, he can hardly complain can he? Was he expecting roses?

Either way, you have to admire the marksmanship! What a shot!

[Laylabelle 9,384]

Still remember when someone threw a coin at Drogba and he picked it up and lobbed it back..woops!

Urgh his face!!And just general blehness to him...still looks like a pinic blanket

Yeah. We have a GD of 11. Everton - 7. Spurs - 4. West Brom - 3.

Next weekend:

Stoke v Everton

Tottenham v Swansea

West Brom v West Ham

And not forgetting Arsenal, they are on 24 points at the moment. They travel to the Madejski to face Reading(again) next.

That happened against Burnley in the League Cup tie under Scolari. Drogba got banned 1-2 games after that.

Now Kojo, you're going to start rumours of a love affair between us if we agree anymore, so don't get me started on how great The Mak was...maybe i'll rant in the Mikel thread later!

Edit: It's also a shame about the guy in your avatar, our midfield is crying out for the likes of the Bison (before all the injuries of course). And anytime anyone even mentions Mikel's abilities in the same breath as Makélelé's, point me in their direction!!!

[1chelsea 864]

EVERTON VS. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

2 - 1

[LayZ 201]

Just found this on 101gg...

[Laylabelle 9,384]

Hahahaha woopsies!!!

[Milan 17,859]

lol at first I thought Ferdinand injured himself but the coin was there

His reaction on Twitter - "what a result,3points! Sweet! Whoever threw that coin,what a shot! Can't believe it was a copper 2p....could have at least been a £1 coin!"

Don't you worry i will, I'll even write down their address whilst I'm at it.

And poor Essien, i hate knee injuries

[Laylabelle 9,384]

Surley a £1 would've hurt more...and whose gana waste a £1 on him!
