I don't mind if he keeps posting but Nooly.. You do know you don't need to lie to us. Nobody is judging you for having a few drinks on a Sunday and I you think it has become a problem we're all here for you. xx

Excellent. No ground lost.

Weird that , as the BBC reported that the A*se extended their lead at the top !

Can't see how, as Scouse 2 won yesterday, Scouse 1 drew with the A*se ,Chelsea lost and City drew.

Or were the BBC referring to A*se's main rivals, the rags ? That might make sense.

Before the weekend they were 4 points ahead of Chelsea in second.

They are now 5 points ahead of Liverpool in second.

Therefore the lead has been extended.

Yes, Chelsea, but they could have reported that it is closer now at the top and after next weekend it will be closer still !

.... but its not actually closer, what they reported is completely correct. They are further in the lead now than they were before.

Their draw was still a good result for us though, and yes hopefully after next weekend things will start getting very close indeed!

I think we all understand that they are five points ahead. If you look at all the teams currently with a shout of winning the league and their results at the weekend, really only Liverpool made gains. The Beeb didn't report that though.
They also didn't report that you can now get a perfect Christmas gift, a man u table lamp, that functions best when it's positioned in the middle of the table!

How are Everton coming along? I'm quite fond of Martinez but haven't had the time to watch Everton except when they met us.

How much of Moyes's stamp is still left on the team`? How much of their current streak would you attribute to Martinez? Any info from anyone who's watched them would at least a bit regurarly be appreciated.

They've gone from a team you switch away from MOTD to avoid to a team you make an effort to watch. Martinez is quality, nothing less. Moyes, well, that's another story.

The interesting thing re Martinez, is that he has taken over a team without 'star' players, many of whom were schooled in longball, fouly, set piece, shite football, & instantly got them passing like a European team.

Tbf, Moyes has made an effort in recent years to get Everton playing more football (& get himself the rags job) but what Martinez has done, is another level entirely. He has only been there a few months but he's just taken an Everton side to the Emirates & totally dicked Arsenal off the pitch at football for 40 mins. If he'd had a couple of top forwards, Arsenal would have been fucked. when Delodoodah came on 2nd half, they caused Arsenal nightmares.

He wiped the floor with Mancini at football on the day, at our place last season, almost causing him to have a nervous breakdown, & now he's done it to Wenger for 40 mins solid. Wenger could barely handle shaking his hand after the game; it hurt.

Very very impressive. Needs to show he can be consistent though & not just hot for bits of a season then lose loads.

No use playing nice football & being relegated, like Wigan.

Also, most good moves Everton played started with...Gareth Barry. The amount of times he sweeps up in midfield and plays a lovely ball into the forwards or out on to the wing.
I can't believe some people on here felt he wasn't good enough for us anymore. He's been fantastic for Everton and was easily good enough for another season or maybe even two with us.

Wtf? Why isn't Vorm playing? There goes the hope of a FFT comeback

Agreed. Thankfully the rags went for the wrong man on this occasion.

Laudrup seems to be playing his keepers in alternate games. Vorn played the last game and Tremmel the one before that. Strange way to keep them both happy.

[Saul Goodman]

He's not even on the bench. Do they have a Europa League match midweek?

Damnit

[Saul Goodman]

Mancini is playing three at the back ...no wonder there are rumors that he wants Kolarov

[Sideshow Bob]

hart is just a disaster waiting to happen.

[nottsblue]

Gurners just fluked one at the swamp

[Moonchesteri]

Lol Juventus went through with SIX points

[Dameerto]

I think Ronaldo just won the Ballon D'Or, 9 goals from 5 CL games (a new CL record for the group stages)

[nottsblue]

Not quite. Game was abandoned after 34 mins due to snow & will have remaining 56 played tomorrow!
