This is the game I've been least looking forward to all season. Everton are on the up and we're on a massive downer. The fact that smug b*llocks' side are playing Sheff Utd tomorrow gets into the minds of our players even more, as if either side gets a victory, that pretty much bangs the final nail in the coffin...
0 - 2 Everton
P.S - C'mon thy Blades. :lol:

From O/S...

Alan Curbishley was pleased with Carlos Tevez's performance against Chelsea on Wednesday and is looking for more of the same from the Argentine against Everton tomorrow.
"I think he did respond after the Sheffied United game," said Curbs. "His endeavours, certainly at home, have really mattered and it was important he was on his game against Chelsea.
"He wasn't on it against Sheffield United and it was a really subdued performance - not just from him but from everyone. We put in a good performance against Chelsea but we haven't picked up the points."
Curbs also provided an update on Dean Ashton's progress - and mentioned just how much the Hammers have missed him this season. "He had another operation to clear out some scar tissue a few weeks ago," said Curbs. "We're very confident that he'll be up and running again in a couple of weeks. He's been in a better frame of mind since the operation.
"There's been a lot of talk about Michael Owen but Dean Ashton's been out for almost as long. He's been a big miss for us. He was injured on FA duty so there is a procedure for compensation and I'm sure we're involved in that.
"Ever since I've been here he's felt a niggle. He wasn't happy with it at all. He's been a lot happier since he's had the operation and he's confident that when he starts, that'll be it."
Thankfully, there aren't any fresh injury concerns for Curbs ahead of tomorrow's game.
"Anton has trained today; he picked up groin injury from the Sheffield United game," he said. "We didn't pick up any other injuries on Wednesday. We have all our players available apart from the long-term injuries. The bench changed a bit on Wednesday and it might be shaken up again tomorrow."

Crunch time - If we win I will allow my belief to continue. Lets hope Tevez keeps scoring.
I think we should have Ferdinand back, leave Bowyer, Etherington and Spector at least on the bench. I reckon Boa Morte should sub Zamora when he starts to struggle but don't play Boa Morte from the start. Put Harewood on instead of Kepa for Tevez if we have to. Hopefully we can leave him on. I think Yossi should play, he appeared to work hard at Chelsea He links with Tevez like Zamora has started to. I'll stop it - my ramblings go on for ever.

Likewise, so I if we fail to win, i would start agaisnt wigan: green, mccartney, collins, davenport, neill(please), bowyer(wish he wasn't), noble, mullins, etherington, zamora, cole.otter_of_despair wrote:Whilst there's still a small possibility of staying up we need to field our strongest side but if we get anything less than a win I would like to see us fielding only players that are likely to stick around next year.
