Stoke City 1-1 Everton. 1st May at 19.45.

Every team knows how Stoke play. It's up to them to cope with it

[davek]

Oh and for the record I don't see why or how people can moan at Stoke.

They play within the rules, as far as I can see. Sure it's boring football but if it's effective then hey, I can't blame them.

I actually admire them -- or at least their fans -- to be honest. We played like that for the first 2/3 of this season and I nearly topped myself. Having to endure it year in, year out... fair play.

...and they'll be playing it again in the first half of next season.

We've been here before with Moyes' Everton: late season nothing matches strolling the game and knocking it to feet like the school of science - when the games have significance though: panic > hoooof!

[Artetafan]

I did see Jones diving which is f*cking ridiculous for someone of his stature.

It's things like that which get to me.

Stoke are a team I kind of want to like, in theory, but every time they play us I remember why I don't really.

[froggyted]

Jagielka was ****e was he, ok.

We played alright, it's just that Gueye isn't very good and we still don't have anyone that can run with the ball and shoot after 10 years.

Well, we nearly had in Drenthe.....

[Abraders]

3, and a few ahead on GD.

Awesome. We can win our last two games imo, Wolves are there for the taking and I believe we can beat Newcastle at home

[toffeejack]

Tonk Wolves and it's over I reckon.

Although knowing Everton we'll find a way to mess that one up!

i reckon we'll win both games anyway

this. i think moyes honestly didnt believe we had the players to play nice football. I can sort of agree with him but he could have at least given it a try with players like drenthe, barkley, coleman, gueye, rather than sticking purely with an off form cahill

[Roztitute]

Gotta beat relegated Wolves, if we don't then well, 7th isn't really deserved!

Todays result isn't too bad, just a shame cos we were deffo the much better team.

[Ring master]

well wolves have conceeded 2 goals at home [or more in some] in each of there last 9 prem games losing all,add cup game makes 10 defeats at home in a row,while we are scoring goals for fun lately

It's like Groundhog Day mate. The next five year plan Moyes will see through has this pattern to it every year too.

The club needs an enema so bad it's untrue. Most seem pleased with it though, so onward we go into the vast black hole of mediocrity for all time.................

[Roztitute]

Pullis calls us a top top team in his interview, I like him now.

So do most managers,usually after they have just beat us though

[Brennan]

Top banter from the BBC interviewer with Dalglish, asking him how he feels about Roy Hodgson becoming England manager, also referenced what Dalglish said about him when he took over.

Brill.

very true imo, what do you reckon should be done?

[Hibbosculturedrightboot]

jammy Clayhead ****ers. They were Terrible. Should have destroyed them first half. Their own fans were wondering why they pay to see such crap

[Roztitute]

True. I find Pullis is a niceer bloke than lots of the sh*thouse managers tho eg Mancini.

this blows my mind

[Ring master]

Everton manager David Moyes:

"You would expect them to finish strongly with the crowd behind them. It was a good point but we looked like scoring the second goal and played some good stuff so we are unlucky not to go away with the points.
"We're not impressed by the defending for their goal. You would hope someone would take the ball off him.
"(Finishing above Liverpool) is not desperately important, the important thing is to finish in the top 10 and this point might just about secure that. If we can win the last two games and finish up there it will be a good season for us."

That has no X axis. Therefore is meaningless.
