Disclaimer Mike Gaynes 1 Posted 20/04/2014 at 23:10:53 "It was the first penalty Everton had scored against Manchester United for 42 years."And its the first double over ManU in 44 years.And the first double clean sheet over ManU in approximately 3164 years.Love these statistics. Scott Williams 2 Posted 21/04/2014 at 01:14:46 What a result! What an atmosphere! Matthew Salem 3 Posted 21/04/2014 at 03:15:06 Get in Everton. I hope we can get a result at Southampton and thereby put pressure on the Arse, who play Monday. But let's just enjoy this sweet victory for today. COYB! Brian Williams 4 Posted 21/04/2014 at 06:27:48 ....and Moyes said on MOTD that they were much the better team in the first half..WTF had he been drinkin'? Dennis Ng 5 Posted 21/04/2014 at 07:02:38 Brian, that's the Sky 4 way of saying "I don't know how we lost" Heard it way too many times now. Great to see a different yet effective style played by RM and the boys regardless. 3 more wins to go! Paul Gladwell 6 Posted 21/04/2014 at 07:24:21 The clown said they controlled the play! we let you control what we wanted you to control, this is a man on millions of pounds a week and he could not fathom that, it could have been five, it was "EASY EASY" as the Park End where singing to the Utd fans as we all left the ground and the mancs knew it too, the longer the fella stays with them the more chance we have of keeping above them in the near future. Peter Bell 7 Posted 21/04/2014 at 08:13:38 Dont know where the penalty stats came from but I can recall Sharpie putting a penalty away at the Stretford end in 84, remember it like yesterday, cos I was in there main stand when I jumped up Colin Glassar 8 Posted 21/04/2014 at 08:33:10 Paul, he’s lost it. He’s like a man drowning hoping someone will throw him a life line. You could tell the manc players were going through the motions yesterday. As well as being outplayed, out thought and outclassed the mancs showed no fight, no desire, no interest in getting a result for their manager. Ginger is doomed. Norman Merrill 9 Posted 21/04/2014 at 08:52:54 I'm sure Moyes, regardless of what he uttered to the waiting media, at the final whistle.Will have been glad to get out of the Old Lady, just showing a 2-0 score line!!Outplayed & out thought it was a good display, after the Crystal Palace fiasco, we will need very much of the same, next Saturday, at Southampton, but with better finishing. Darren Hind 10 Posted 21/04/2014 at 08:56:25 We walked onto sucker punches against the better teams ealier in the season and I was begining to wonder if Robbie had a plan B. I'm not worried now, we have been content to let The Mancs and Arsenal have it and have killed them on the break. The fact that Moyes thinks they were the better team would suggest Robbie has learned more in ten Months than he did in ten years Paul Gladwell 11 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:11:46 Coleman has come out and said Martinez had them practising all week at Finch Farm attacking on the break, it was pre-planned, if Moyes was still manager we would have been running up hills in the lakes followed by a wacky karaoke session in the local boozer, in fact I bet Utd have been doing just that in their eleven day break they had to prepare for yesterday's game. Colin Glassar 12 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:14:53 Am I right in thinking that one more win and fifth place is definitely ours? Spurs could only draw level on points but we have a vastly superior GD. Paul Gladwell 13 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:17:20 Colin we need 1 more point apparently Colin Glassar 14 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:20:03 Thanks Paul. Maths was never my strongest subject at school. Darren Hind 15 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:18:31 BTW Gerry Quinn43 years away : full report please Paul Gladwell 16 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:28:35 Just saw the table Colin we must need one more win sorry Brian Harrison 17 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:19:38 Great to bounce back from the disappointment of the Palace result. Whatever happens in our last 3 games rm has had a magnificent first season, I am sure has surpassed everybody's expectations. There were a lot of very good performances yesterday, wasn't it great to see Mirallas perform as we all know he can, and Coleman and McCarthy were excellent.My one and only slight disappointment is I don't think Ross is ready to play in midfield the game passed him by and he doesnt seem to know whether to stay back or join the attack. His natural position is just behind the striker but at this moment in time Naismith plays that role very well. The one time that Ross picked the ball up just outside the box and ran straight into the box and nearly scored is his strength. Paul Gladwell 18 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:35:41 Brian, you are right about Mirralas yesterday mate, in defence of Ross, I thought he would have teared Utd a new arse if we had played him through the middle in his natural position, however that would have also been unfair moving Naismth from there. Christopher Timmins 19 Posted 21/04/2014 at 09:56:58 Lyndon, we play better when the expectation is not so great. Three games to go, no more midweek games, which don't suit given the size of our squad. We have already created a record points tally, 69, and there is no reason why we cannot finish off with 3 more wins which have us accumulating 78 points for the season. One more win and 5th is in the bag, three more wins and who knows!Great season and the manager has worked wonders in improving certain players! Kunal Desai 20 Posted 21/04/2014 at 10:06:27 Could stop laughing at that clown saying they controlled most of the game and deserved something from it, what a fucking delusional twat. He is so far on his way down and in November he will struggle to get a job managing a Championship club. Paul Gladwell 21 Posted 21/04/2014 at 10:20:14 Kunai, I think the Geordies are holding out sacking Pardew so they can snap Moyes up soon. Gary Reeves 22 Posted 21/04/2014 at 10:04:46 Brian #920I wish I could share your optimism in only being "disappointed" with Ross? Personally I'm starting to worry. Occasionally he beats his man and looks dangerous but more often he's anonymous. (If you watch him when the opposition has the ball, he truly hasn't got a clue.) This is a forum for debate, so here goes - I'd take the money! Tony Abrahams 23 Posted 21/04/2014 at 11:53:07 Paul 912, running up hills at Finch Farm definitely. Moyes came back from America one pre-season and put a great big hill in Finch Farm for the players to run up and down to strengthen their legs, honestly. Well Roberto has already had it flattened and put two five-aside pitches there, also true. I thought Moyes did a decent job at Everton initially but after watching Man Utd yesterday, I was shocked at how bad they have become. The last time I saw such a decline in a team so quickly was with Aston Villa after they won the European Cup in the early eighties. Let's hope it's an omen for Everton and it's not too long until we're Champions again after such a barren spell! Kevin Elliott 24 Posted 21/04/2014 at 14:00:37 Wenger and Moyes played like a fiddle by Martinez.You are a poet Lyndon. Barry Stevens 25 Posted 21/04/2014 at 21:59:50 Only disappointed we never got the third goal. The ginge would have got it tenfold after that. Perfect gameplan from Sir Roberto. On the pitch Coleman was immense, as was McCarthy. Stones looked like he was relishing the challenge of head to head with Rooney. On we roll with the 4th spot still a real possibility. COYB Ross Edwards 26 Posted 25/04/2014 at 21:34:45 The fact that Moyes couldn’t even come up with a plan to beat a team he has the best inside knowledge of out of anyone in English football epitomises his complete incompetence, which he showed not only at Manchester United but in his last three seasons here. Conn Prosser 27 Posted 28/04/2014 at 12:14:08 Goodison Park is the only place that Moyes didn't actually "get out alive".The irony is delicious.
