Moyes: It was a legitimate goal

I was looking into the Europa league situation and I think (not sure) the only way we can qualify in 6th is if Chelsea win the Europa cup and come 5th in the Prem.

Wouldn't we qualify if we finish 6th and Citeh win FA Cup?

Unless, of course, it's just a matter of "getting away with it". But if we accept that way of playing the game then there is really no such thing as cheating and the vile antics of Suarez will be considered fine and dandy.

The whole obstructing the keeper (?) and general pushing and shoving in the box issue simply has to be addressed by the FA. It's a right old mess.

This should have been the season we came in the top 4 and I think with a signing or two in January we would have.

I'm just worried everything will fall apart this summer.

We were unlucky today, but we were lucky in the last derby as their valid last minute winner was wrongly ruled out.

Some you win, some you lose. Let's not get paranoid about it.

In another world we could well have ended this season in the top 4 with a cup final appearance. As much as it may be Moyes' fault that we haven't quite done that, its also to his credit that we're in a position to even be considering it. Would we challenge agian next year if we reinvested some of the TV and Fellaini money wisely and got a bit more luck in some games? No reaosn why next seaosn can't be better than this one.

Speaking of underwhelming, Fellaini has been less and less a factor as the season has gone on. Sell him off, reduce the wage bill further by dumping Heitinga and Jelavic too, and put the money to a world-class striker, a creative midfielder with some physical size, and a future defender to be ready to replace Distin in a year or two.

I've never been a conspiracy theorist, but maybe, just maybe there is some proof in the pudding.

Got to go, think the CIA are hacking me E.mail account........

Yes, it was a goal, but Anichebe had this coming for a long time. Every set peice around the box this season has been the same, him and some defender scrapping, the guy is compleatly usless. And he is two much in the refs ear, flapping his wings like a headless chicken. A game or two a go he almost dislocated his shoulder with one of his "dummy out of the pram" protests.

Anichebe = Titus Bramble what the fuck is he doing in an EFC shirt.

Now, I think we have an honest manager and a pretty fair team - although I would say that, wouldn't I, being an Everton fan? But we're not spotless. If Fellaini played against us we'd give him a hard time because he's actually a dirty so-and-so. Jelavic is an embarrassingly bad diver. Heitinga is a dodgy geezer and Pienaar falls over at the slightest suggestion of a tackle, as did Arteta before him.

Isn't it obvious that supporters of every single team are complaining, post-match, that the result was unjust in some respect, that an opposition player should have been sent off and that their own man was unlucky to have been booked? It's par for the course, because we are all biased. All I'm saying is, if you take a step back you have to admit that it's not the absolute truth. How could it be?

But I do agree in principle with your comments about the bias which most fans have towards their own team, and also the objectionable behaviour of a couple of our own players but, looking back at the previous Derby objectively, I still think my observations are correct. It wasn't a foul , and Suarez should have walked for the two disgusting tackles on Mirallas and Distin. Can you imagine the reaction from Suarez if those tackles had been made on him? Or the attempted decapitation on Osman from Gerrard?
