YES Paul. Well said. Win required! As for surveys, don\'t they depend on the number and demographic of the participants? But good to have the improvements noticed. If this is an annual service, this latest survey becomes the base point for Everton and HDS from now on.

Better to smell the fear of your prey and go hunting them down, than to be looking over your shoulder anxiously. COYB, let’s beat them!!

Interesting to hear about the Keane interview, I’ll have to look for it. He’s had a very good season and has played through injuries during his time here, you can’t say he hasn’t got stuck in. Michael, apologies for going off piste earlier (off a cliff style).

Si # 35 – that’s the problem, only we the fans, understand the importance of freeing ourselves from their superiority complex over us. They think they are better than us and because they do, it gives them an edge. It is instilled into them from the day they walk into Mordor.Like I said this is a battle of wills. This is big picture and generational, not a one game at a time issue. It is a battle we must win.“ I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.” Muhammad Ali.

Damn, Kevin. That is some Red Shite complex material. How the hell are we supposed to take them out of their game without going at them? Controlled aggression is called for, it\'s our house and they\'ve been shit at times. Force the issue early and see what they have left in their tank. Play it tight in terms of maintaining shape on defence, alright, but get into them early. Press them and force them to hoof it out of their half. Make them use Sobolowhatever to keep possession, no space for that one. We may have to pull back at times to get compact and thwart their runs to the box. Overall though, force MacAllister to be the possession channel. Don\'t give Salad man or the Hungarian clean one-on-ones. We have to use a pack mentality and overshift a bit to compensate for their speed advantage. This doesn\'t mean we have let them get into a rhythm in attack. Take an occasional foul, take some time after they foul us, whatever we can do to disrupt their possession rhythm. As we grow into the game, there should be some sustained gung ho effort to force them back on defence. Know the phase of the match where we want to pursue it and get on top. Only by unsettling them will George have the space to really threaten them in the second half. We may be careful at times but we can frustrate Salad man and Szoballs eye to minimize the risk. Moyes needs to trust the aggression of which this squad is capable. Garner and Dewsbury-Hall can lead in signalling the timing. I trust both of them as field generals. Have faith and smash the Reds.
