Sunderland v Everton. 12th Sept at 2000.

Not getting it mate - teams don't finish in the top 8 ten years on the belt, play in cup finals and the champions league by putting ten men behind the ball. He might not be Guardiola but there's no way he solely "defended" his way to those league finishes with EFC. We might be a different story - for this year at least. Needs must and all that.

didn't do either of them. One cup final and a CL play-off

Obv thrilled, and 10/12 points is a good foundation ahead of my looming trip to NZ, but we should have got 5 goals at least.

We all know who scored a hat trick for our biggest EPL away win to date, so it's a record that needs breaking pronto.

Never going to get a better chance than tonight. Never seen such tripe from an opposing home side - even Villa in March gave us more of a fight!

Moyes was very much of the 'you begin a game with a point - don't lose it' mindset. We won an astonishing number of games 1-0 under him.

Some SAFC fan has just donated £20k so with that an the superb amount your club donated the £700k is smashed Whatever else comes in will help the family getting there and accommodation. Loads of your fans have donated too on the fundraising page tonight as well as fans of other clubs

Wonder why Sunderland didn't stand the cash then? Surely there are lots of sick Everton fans who are crying out for that sort of donation .

Not demeaning the gesture in any way, just unsure why it wasn't Sunderland paying it.

As I understand it the figure was at £500k around match time. Not sure if that's with or without Evertons donation. There's every reason to think that Sunderland have already coughed up. Have no proof of course, but you'd think they would wouldn't you?

The last time Everton won 2 away games in a row at the start of the season was in 1969/70 when we won the league.

Yes of course, but I guess I just feel a bit sad that there's lots of very sick Everton fans out there, and we've just donated a huge amount to one Sunderland fan. Just feels a bit jarring, is all.

I'm sure our club have done their bit and will continue to do

Sland have done a massive amount for the lad it seems, fair play to them.

All of the attention has been devoted to Manchester but quietly Merseyside is gearing up as well
