Everton: Howard, Neville, Yobo, Lescott, Jagielka, Arteta, Osman, Felliaini, Pienaar, Yakubu, Cahill Bench: Rodwell, Hibbert, Baines, Nash, Saha (Fellaini), Victor Anichebe (Pienaar), Vaughan (Yakubu) Referee: Lee 'Perry Mason' (He's Fuckin' Clueless) Oh I never felt more like singing the Blues, when Everton win and the shite lose, your love babe, you have me singing the Blues. We don't get the chance to sing it that often, so over your brekky on Sunday let it rip whilst you are reading the weekend rags, gloating over our win and their loss. Well enough of that and back to reality, as the Blues fortuitously grabbed their first three home points of the season when with four minutes to go Louis Saha bulleted his header into the back of the onion bag. The Blues were poor, and like notloB on Wednesday evening a late header gave us the spoils in a lack lustre affair. Moyesy's only change from the notloB win was to drop Louis Saha to the bench and to bring back in Tiny who passed a fitness test on Saturday morning. So it was off to the pub and the ungodly hour of eleven in the morning, sensing that this could be the day, the first day of November that we could get a Goodison win. The highlight of a drab affair in the first period was Maro Felliani hitting the Street End post, and watching Jogger clutch his heart and go mental after he had a tenner on him at 12/1 for the first goal. The other big highlight was myself, Kipper and Jogger wave at our mate Roy in the Main Stand after we started playing a game of spot our mates in the other part of the crowd. We also spotted Steve Battle, Peter, Moff and young Alex for the record. This goes to show how enthralling the match was as we sensed another nervy day at Goodison. Fulham's main threat came from AJ, and it was nice to see the reception afforded to him and Simple Simon Davies. Two players who tried but failed to make the Goodison grade, but their efforts were duly noted by the Blues faithful. Half Time: EVERTON 0 Fulham 0 The second period was no better, probably even worse, as Fulham sensed a first Premiership victory on Merseyside. Jimmy Bullard (don't you just love him) came close with a free kick, and one time Everton target Zolton Gera hit the upright with a free header from ten yards out. Moyesy had to act, and startled everyone in Goodison with his substitutions. Felliani who was having one of his better games, made way for Louis Saha, and Big Vic and Vaughny came on for Peanuts and The Yak. The Blues went route one, and in fairness to Moyesy it paid off when a superb ball in from Ossie was met with power from Louis Saha to give the Blues the lead late late on. Still with four minutes on the clock plus injury time, we never felt safe, and Fulham went route one themselves, but Starman Phil Jagielka held his back four strong, to see the game out and give the Blues three Goodison home points. It was nervy, and the performance was poor but the win elevates the Blues into seventh spot, a position we should better with games of the ilk of West Ham, Boro and Wigan to come. The confidence is creeping slowly back, the new players are settling and things are looking slightly better than of a few weeks ago, oh and did I mention that the shite lost as well. Oh I never felt more like singing the Blues .................. Full Time: EVERTON 1 Fulham 0

Jimmy Bullard doing what he does best, putting a smile on everyone's
face. After the ref told him to move the ball for a free kick, he carried
on walking with the ball till he was off the pitch, to the amusement
and applause of the Street End. |

What Do You Think The Score Will Be? e-mail info@bluekipper.com * Great result on Wednesday despite a poor performance. Just as tough this one. On paper they have a decent team and I fully expected them to be much higher up the table ( a bit like us! ). If we can keep a clean sheet again we will win, as we will definitely score. I am going for the Yak to end his current poor run with 2 goals today, hopefully all AJ will get today will be a decent reception and like another former blue will go home after a poor performance. COYB! Oz Blue * Everton to win 3-1. Hat-trick for The Yak. AJ for them. Bill * Hard 1-1 draw. Yak scores a late equaliser. Steve. M. |
| Tim Cahill will have a fitness tests this morning. The Aussie international is struggling with a foot problem he picked up while with Australia last month. Leon Osman suffered a dead leg at Bolton and will be checked out ahead of today’s game, while Nuno Valente is a doubt with a knee injury. Moyesy says: “Tim has a foot injury, the pad of his foot. He was doubtful with it in midweek, and he was sore afterwards despite playing only 25 minutes. It’s worrying because he has picked up another injury while away with Australia.” 8.00am. (01/11/08) Stick with a winning team, that's what me 'arl fella' used to say, well he didn't really, he used to say things like, you drunken little shite, clean that mess up before yer ma see's it. Sorry about that just transgressed to the past there. No stick with a winning side is what keeps players on their toes, and I hope Moyesy does just that tomorrow after a hard fought win against notloB on Wednesday evening. Moyesy has doubts with Tiny and Ossie, but both are expected to make the squad. The Blues welcome Fulham to Goodison, well they might, but I won't as I hate them and would not shed a tear if they went down. Nigel Havers and Al Fayed that's all I will say, the West London arses. Fulham are that side though that we beat at home, but always lose away to. Lets hope the home bit rings true and we record our first back to back wins this season, and come to think about it our first home win of the season. Tim Howard kept his first clean sheet since the Suez Crisis against notloB, but Blues old boy Andy Johnson found his scoring boots against Wigan in midweek. We have a worrying record of only picking up just two points from a last possible twenty available against London clubs since a two nil victory over West Ham at Upton Park back in December 2007, boring but true. Feel good about this one, home win at last. COYB.
