Honestly i had to take my 3 year old bowling for his birthday so missed extra time, put 909 on n lampard scored on the way there, sat in car park listening till 5 mins left cos little fella was moaning, knocked me phone off to save myself from the abuse, get out n switch in back on and FCK MEEEEEEEE, GET DA FCK IN DERRRRRR!!!! (got a clip off the mrs for swearing infront of the boy but worth it!). Rushed back to watch in on Sky+ n it had only stopped recording after 90 fkin mins!!!!! Ahh well, roll on 11.30pm highlights! (why so late?!) Still cant believe we turned it round, i love this club.
 
After Neville had scored the winner the cameras showed the Chelsea players walking off the pitch where David Moyes was waiting to shake hands with them. In front of Cole was Anelka with whom Moyes exchanged pleasantries. Then Moyes offered his hand to Cole. Cole not only refused to shake the hand but turned to his right and spat on the ground.
 
Awesome game It was glorious. We deserve it after such a troubling year.

Glad Jags was back we've missed him. Heity's barge on Cole was priceless. I won't say a unkind word about Neville again he was cool as a cucumber.

A proud day to be a Evertonian. Doing the Everton boot walk.

Removing my blue tinted specs...but if Baines isnt up for PFA footballer of the year with IMO Nani, Van Der Vaart and Nasri etc then the league is full of belters.

Best English player in the Prem? He has a case. Prem Best 11? Yes, right now he's the best LB in the Prem. PFA player of the year? No way. A LB just doesn't have to impact on a game like a Nani, Nasri or Tevez does. Plus we're 3 pts above the drop. He still won't get any recongition because he's not on a big money club though.

How many assists does Baines have this year?

Plus he's scoring now too.

Impact?

He had a massive impact on the game today too.
 
Wow.

Just.....Wow.

I was preparing my "Well at least we played better than last week and can build on this performance" post until Baines hits that freekick.

If I'm being honest, the minute he scored that, I knew we'd win. I just knew it.

I will say one thing though. Watching that Ramires dive in the box in real time, I was screaming for him to be carded. Then they showed the replay and while there was very minor contact, Ramires did the old "leave the trailing foot behind and wait to get hit" so that he could go down. Sorry but that's a dive and cheating. To make it worse, the announcers we had here in the States were just sure, and I mean SURE it was a stonewall penalty and they're showing the replays, the ones that they can presumably see as well, and there was absolutely nothing stonewall about it.

In fact, it was probably more of a stonewall dive than a stonewall penalty but these numpties weren't having any of it. But they just went on and on about it. Sorry but when you see a player go down like he did, you can absolutely tell when it's a dive and when he was legitimately impeded, tripped, or caught by the opposing player.
 
Oh, and Chico, you nailed it with your post earlier (must spread rep) about their whining. Ancelotti was terrible about it. When they nailed us, it was the ball. When we hit them, it was a foul. 100% of the time.

****ing whiners.

I did not like those commentators. Did you hear him before Baines's PK?
