We asked Ric from the bluemoon website 10 questions ahead of the game

Here are Ric's answers

How do you think Everton will do this season? 

You've had a disappointing start to the season, but I still think you'll finish in the top ten, just. The F.A. Cup is wide open now with both City and United out, so you could go on a decent run if the draw continues to be kind to you.

Do you think City will win the League this season?

It's ours to lose as we're three points clear with 16 games to go. United obviously have more experience of title run ins, but we have arguably the easier fixtures. I think it'll go to the last day of the season, but hopefully we'll pip them to the title.

Do you think you will make any signings in the Jan window?

No - Mancini has pretty much ruled this out. I think the club are trying to fall in line with FFPR, or at least be seen to be making an effort to stem the losses. Daniele de Rossi would've been an ideal signing, but it looks like he's staying at Roma now.

How Is Roberto Mancini doing?

Mancini is doing a good job. Obviously he has great resources at his disposal, but he has unified the squad and got us playing great football at times this season. I think he handled the Tevez situation fairly well, as it could've easily derailed our title challenge.

How do you rate David Moyes?

I don't particularly like Moyes, but you have to admire the job he has done at Everton with such limited resources. He's had you punching above your weight for a while now, but obviously new investment is desperately needed.

Who do you see as Everton's danger man?

Tim Cahill. He seems to score against us every time we play Everton, and has recently broken his scoring drought so there's a depressing inevitability he'll bag one on Tuesday.

Who is your man in form?

David Silva was back to his sublime best against Spurs last weekend after a quiet few weeks. He's key to our chances of winning the league.

Who is your favourite all time Everton player?

Kevin Sheedy was a favourite of mine when I was growing up. Had a quality left foot.

What do you think the score will be on Tuesday night?

Goodison is never a happy hunting ground for City, so I can see it being a draw. I'll say 1-1 - Aguero for us, and Tim fucking Cahill for you.

What is your personal favourite cheese?

Lancashire.

"Punching above your weight"! Aaargh, Hanson says this every year about us in his copy & paste article, and like "strength and depth" and "stonewall" it's caught on! We have been finishing 5th, 6th and 7th. And each year we finish, credit to Moyes, where we should be finishing. When we were going for the last european places with Villa they had a similar budget to us and the teams above always had much more money. The only time we punched above our weight is the year we finished 4th. This season and last we've not met our potential...but not by far.

All the money that lot spent on their "Gallactico" signings and Ric fansies a draw! No wonder he hates Moyes! And Ric to you it's "MR" Tim fucking Cahill!!!!

Ha.. Q..Who do you see as Everton's danger man? A.. Moyes if Roberto Mancini gets his hands on the ball again! BTW, Love the KOdak moment! I could have sworn Mancini's hair wasn't as grey before that shot!

A fair assessment by that city fan. But he was wrong about the draw as we will win COYB!

Just goes to show how easy it is for people to be taken in by simplistic language from halfwit commentators. This nonsense of punching above our weight is an example. This comment from a city fan whose club has won 1 cup in 40 years and we are punching above our weight! they are still a big chance to choke in the title race aswell after spending a fortune. And he thinks Mancini is doing a good job. Divvy
