Explanations please : Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Everton

Can someone explain how that happened. Everton were ABJECT. Not inexplicable in itself, we’ve been crap enough for me to know when we deserve a hiding. Last night was bizarre because from the first whistle we just looked miles off the pace. They played like they were in a coma...BUT we are arguably the best team in the Premier League at the moment.

 

So that’s it...a tame fluffing of our lines and our season is looking over with nothing to hope for except the FA Cup going to form and someone above us going into freefall.

Everton 3 - 1 Man Utd

I would like to think that that match was a watershed for Everton. It was massively significant because no0t only did we beat Man Utd, a rare thing in itself, but we out played them.

It reminded me of last season's 1-1 draw with Arsenal...we didn't beat them in the same old way. We out footballed them, Saturday was the same.

Our successes against big, powerful, classy top-4 sides usually come from a high-tempo, tight gameplan...it's wonderful to see Everton turning on the style and coming out on top.

Absolutely bouncing.

Well done to the New Orleans Saints

Nice story after Hurrican Katrina.

Am gobsmacked how little the ball is in play during an American football match though :

Wonder how much the ball is in play for footy & rugby?

Terrace genius at the rugby

Ugh Yesterday was grim, if England hadn't have won I'd have went to see Invictus fully expecting the All Blacks to beat South Africa in the 95 world cup final.

Everton ballsed up a perfect opportunity to best our nearest and dearest and Waterloo went down to Caldy.

At least this week we went down fighting unlike the previous week's abject humiliation against Macclesfield.

Moment of the day was when we were baiting on of their props, he sarcastically wiped a mock tear from his eye at which point someone piped up "If you want to cry you should come up here and try standing with us".
