The Blackburn game where we went ahead, then had Turner (who was standing in goal for the injured Wright who jumped into an advertisement sign just before the game?!) dismissed for a foul and then managed to grind out a win with 10 men and an under 18-keeper.
That was a hell of a game and Nil Satis Nisi Optimum - commitmentwise.
But of course, 3 - 0 Liverpool. We were celebrating my dad in Stockholm (I'm a Swede and no turnip jokes) and I sneaked away from the family to watch the game at a pub... Sneaked in to a sports bar with my blue shirt and found a sea of red ones! Haha. Thought I saw a fellow blue wearing a blue Williams (?) jersey only to realize that he was only watching a formel 1-race wondering what the hell he had just gotten himself into... I just thought to myself that "come on Everton you better not embarass you're self out there on the field". After 90 minutes gone my mind quoted Bart Simpson thinking " there's only one thing to do in a moment like this! - STRUT!" so I walked head high and with the grimmest smile ever across a pub full of 50 or so kopites. IN YER FACE!!!
Think you may be a little confused there. Wright injured himself in the Chelsea league cup game and Turner stood in for him and we got beaten 4-1. The Blackburn game you are thinking of, we had everybody down injured except Turner and Ruddy. Turner gets himself sent off in 10 minutes for handling the ball outside of the area. Ruddy comes on and the defense do a marvelous job of restricting Blackburn to a single easy shot for Ruddy to collect. That game we scored 4 times, IIRC and only 1 was allowed although replays showed they were all legal goals!
