I asked the lads at bluekipper.com a while back if could I do a report on one of the London games. I've always thought that most of the reporters talk through their arses and have most probably been at the game for the first half and then had a few too many in the bar at half time then done one. So I thought I'll report it as I see it. "Be our guest!" they said. Just don't go on the piss and forget about it and then send it up on Sunday. "Ok!" I said. Little did I know I'd be reporting that Everton had equaled their longest run of games without scoring a league goal. Six. The last time it happened, Everton were relegated in 1951. So after the match I went on the piss. This is my late report.

Working in the smoke for the last 8 years, I'm constantly arguing the toss with Spurs fans. They fancy themselves this season. They could be right. They, like Everton are one of the famous 'Big 5 Clubs', who have been in the doldrums for years. They have steadily become a better team over the last few seasons and now look like they have a squad to challenge at the top for the next few seasons. We don't.

Everton had a couple of chances in the first half, when they played decent footy. Firstly McFadden went on a run, evading a couple of challenges before driving a left foot shot which stung Robinson's hands. McFadden then may as well joined the reporters in the ale house for all the good he did. He was anonymous. I've always wanted him to do well, after he burst on the scene in a match where he raped Gary Kelly of Leeds and we won 4 something. It's simply not going to happen for him and I can see him going back to Scotland next season or even sooner if Van der Meyde makes his mark.

The other chance was when Marcus Bent headed down to Kilbane who's goal ward shot was blocked. Killa gets a lot of stick, as he is awkward looking and can't play football. He kidded us for 10 games the season before last, but we've seen through him now. He never stops working hard and trying though. He did with the Spurs second goal. He back tracked Jenas and then stopped. Jenas carried on and out jumped Davie Weir to score with a header. You can't blame Davie for that. It was Killa's fault.

You can blame Davie for a few of the 10 headed goals we have had put past us this season. Dawson the young Spurs defender had 2 goal ward headers cleared. One by Valente and one by Martyn. The Everton captain or Yobo were nowhere to be seen. Oh how I wish the 'cancer clause ' and the one/two year contract had been sorted for Alan Stubbs to sign. Stubbsey is not the greatest player, but he would have put his head on the line when it mattered. In those nine 1-0 wins last season, Stubbs played in 8 of them.

Half-Time: Spurs 0, EVERTON 0.

The second half saw Spurs up the pace. Everton had none or rather the man who has pace refused to use it. Benty didn't seem arsed. He even feigned injury later in the game, when he wouldn't run onto Ferguson's headered through ball. Marcus Bent can run like the wind, but he's not a footballer. Sounds silly that, as he's getting paid something like £20,000 a week as a professional footballer. What I mean is. He has Tony Cottee shins. The ball comes to him and and bounces off his shins and Spurs get the ball back. For that reason, I'd sell him and never play him again. See Cottee scored loads of goals. Put a ball in front of Bent to run onto and he'll get away from the defender. Whether he scores is in the lap of the Gods. (a la Radz) Pity Vaughan is injured or he would have seen off Marcus. I'd even try another youngster, Victor Anichebe or Paul Hopkins. I know it maybe a little unfair to put pressure on them. But they can play, trap a ball, receive a ball, link up play and score.

As has been the norm, with Everton this season, once we go a goal down we bring on the cavalry in the shape of Big Dunc, aided by the injury jinxed James Beattie. Both did what Bent failed to do that was get a header in on goal. Dunc was unlucky to see the England goalie tip his over the bar.

With no signings until the transfer window opens in January, when Moyes will sign at least one striker, hopefully two. Everton must rely on what we've got. Over the next few weeks, we will hopefully see James Beattie fit and scoring goals. We will also see Per Kroldrop sure up the defence. We will also see Andy Van der Meyde using his pace. Pace is what top class football is all about. The crocked Dutchman maybe just the fella we will be looking for. When Lee Carsley comes back to join Phil Neville in Dogs of War 2, we may have scored a goal.

Nigel Martyn, made 4 outstanding saves as well as ouse confidence, as the defence was splitting all around him. But my Blue Kipper man of the match was Phil Neville, who battled away all afternoon and didn't give Davids a kick, or should that be gave him several kicks.
