Really weird Everton match

We played Spurs on good Friday about 10 years ago and beat them 3-1. The goal scorers where naysmith(left back) yobo and unsworth (centre halfs) and Carr (right back) for them. Nots sure if that counts but that couldn't have happened too many times.

One of the best atmospheres I can ever remember at Goodison. The concourse under the lower gwladys was a real party atmosphere at half time
 

Blackburn away in 2011, they missed two penalties in the second half, then in stoppage time we got a pen for Osman kicking the back of his own leg and Arteta scored to win it 1-0.
 

Away to villa, 89-90? Just remember it was Nov 5th. David Platt the golden boy in his pomp. Absolutely tore through us. 1,2,3,4,5 then 6 nil. Stood there with my two brothers, froze to the spot, open mouthed, hyperventilating.
With maybe 20 minutes to go (can't be sure) we made a group decision. Leg it. No way did I want to be witness to our biggest ever bumming.
Got to the car, started the engine and the radio came on. First words spoked. "Wow, it's been some fireworks display this bonfire night at Villa park...that's right, there's been even more goals, here's such and such at the ground".
We feared the worse. 10-0, 15-0? Anything was possible. "And it's finished 6-2 here at villa park, Everton grabbing two consolation goals near the end"
We actually cheered. Pathetic and sad I know.

I was suicidal after that game, and it was a wet miserable day to !!
 

7-1 against Sunderland. Yet to see a worse performance than McShane's that day.

3-0 against Bolton, think it was Jo's debut. Scored a peach and a penalty, but missed a fair few chances and seemed knackered after about an hour. Remember thinking we had a player then.
