Everton vs West Ham Sept 16th, 2018

2 mins of extra

I was about to type somehting...

and fupping Everton score....

you just can't help it can you West Ham.....


that's why they made the substitution... pushed higher up...

even Fabianski couldn't stop that one...

and all our good work is done as we give Everton everything they wanted going in at the break on a right old high...

well fupp that...

that seemed like a half time that last forever... but the players are out now...

what the effects is gonna happen now?

we've drop more points from winning positions than anyone else...

Everton will be on the uppers...

come on dudes... we NEED this...

WE NEED THIS!!!!!!!!!!

Everton on the attack immediately... but fortunately only have one player in the box so we get to scramble it clear...

this IS from the Guardian...

Andriy Yarmolenko’s double gave Manuel Pellegrini’s side a deserved lead, but Gylfi Sigurdsson pulled a goal back for Everton on the brink of the interval. It’s all to play for. We’re in for a juicy second half.

decent patient build upbeat Obiang find himself completely off balance and shoots well wide from 6 yards...

Everton are right up for this....

a couple of yellow cards go against us...

this is getting mighty uncomfortable...


do we practice making life hard for ourselves?because we're naturals at it.

Noble almost finds himself running free on goal after a series of pinging passes and interceptions as we scramble it away from a corner...

the tempo has been raised... this game is on fire...

Anderson tries play the foul - wanker...

Everton run out... charging forward...

it's open end to end...

everyone thinks they can win this...

both sides looking bit soft at the back...

Rice is nice...

it's not just an old catchphrase...

he's actually pretty good.

quiet but consistent...

the fans are up for this...

it's high tempo... balls to the wall kinda stuff...

Bubbles rings out around the stadium...

and it's there....

Obiang slides the ball through to the man... and Arnie is there to stick the ball into the back of the net...

oooh... I got chills all over watching the replays....

this is exactly right... the hting that is different to day than previous games...

we haven't sat on a lead.

yes... we conceded a goal right on the break, yes, we've been dodgy in defense...

but we haven't sat back on our lead... we saw Everton come at us and instead of doing what we always do... we've gone looking for another goal.

of course... having said all that...

Arnie goes down... he's being treated... something's up with his leg... his knee?

he's being subbed...

Antonio is coming on to replace him...

jeez... this better be nothing serious

if anyone is the man... it's Arnie... we've known that since the Terminator came out... but we can't afford him being injured.

so.. where are we?

65 minutes gone...

bunch of yellow cards...

Arnie off injured...

Everton almost sneak a goal...

but we're actually 3-1up...

we're in the lead...

the game is ours to lose...

oh jeez...

I picked the wrong week to give up... (cue Airplane jokes...)

noble's coming off

Sanchez replaces him

Anderons spins a shot out wide.

He needs to step up his game... he's okay... but he's not big money good

Yarmalenko needs to up his game... he's crap anywhere but scoring and has been pretty anonymous since his goal...

Walcott wins a foul just outside the area and gets Rice a yellow card in the process...

ugh...it's been all Everton for a bit now...

we're a lot... a lot lighter without Arnie...

free kick goes into the wall

Yarmolenko take it full in the face

Everton sub out Walcott (thank fupp for that)

West Ham play some nice attacking football then Sanchez gets caught napping and we lose possession and Everton end up with a corner of of Sanchez...

West Ham corner after a nice run from Anderson... that's better by him.

ten minutes to go...

Everton still piling forward trying to salvage something...

Snodgrass is about to come on...

Yarmolenko is coming off... thank you for the two goals but you went off the boil in a major way after that... come on son... it's only a 90 minute game.... you got to be up for ALL of it.

so... Antonio and Snoddy leading the line...

7 minutes to go..

we're competing in midfield - and it works... we get the ball..

but then in a flash... Everton are open in the6 yard box and a rocket volley dings off the underside of the bar and bounces out...

typical this game...

we play well... get the upper hand and in a flash it all goes away...

fortunate to not have conceded...

5 minutes to go...

we're playing it around like we have all the time n the world... time to waster...
and we lose possession...

the crowd are cheering even West Ham touch

it's good to have possession but we need to do somehting concrete with it and we seem to be playing for the clock not for the chance to win...

we put a long ball out of play...

see... all that and we just concede possession.

Yes, I know... the game is won... except it's us... it's not over until we're in the tunnel, in the shower... on the bus on th way home and the points are ours.

3 minutes to go

corner to us...


time wasting corner... we get a throw in.

Antonio time wasting in the corner.. "very professional" according to the comms...

to which I would counter... they are about to add 5 minutes of added time...

just keep doing the things that have been successful for us and stop doing the shit that costs games...
