OTF

A fitting ending. I'm mostly just sad that it's over. A little sentimentality after 5 seasons was welcome as far as I'm concerned. Err, spoilers and all that.. It was the first time we see Walt openly admit his biggest shortcoming and own up to the lie he had been feeding all (including himself) for so long.

Turn your computer off when you're on the Playstation/xbox and vice versa deaders!

They need to do some research into how to stop it. Won't happen with the current level of consumerism driven by capitalism. Lower emission manufacturing etc exclusively equals higher costs and therefore won't be embraced in the foreseeable future. There will seemingly always be somewhere who won't care about emissions willing to take on the work for lower costs.

5 games in and your results have been topsy-turvy. Have the performances matched the results for your wins, draws and losses, or have you been lucky or unlucky so far? We've got what we deserved in most cases. We were abysmal against Man City and in the second half against Hull. Who has been your key performers so far? It has differed from game to game. Ben Arfa was a clear stand out against Aston Villa, but he was poor against Hull. Loic Remy has had a very positive impact. What are your expectations for the season? Mid table finish, more embarrassment from the owner. With that in mind, is Alan Pardew good enough to fulfill these hopes? You asked about expectations above, not hopes. Operating within the realms of the expectations set by the club Pardew is about as good as we can hope for. If we're talking hopes then no we should have someone more tactically astute. Who will be the big threat to Everton next Monday? Remy, Ben Arfa if they're on their game. Cabaye is due a good performance. On to Everton... Have you seen much of our season? How do you think we have done so far? I haven't unfortunately. What do you make of Roberto Martinez as a manager? Do you think he will do well at Everton? I'd expect that it would bring about some massive changes compared to Moyes. More passing for a start, and setup with actual strikers. If you could take one player from Everton, who would it be and why? Baines, he is clearly the best player at the club, the dream fullback really. Which Everton player do you think will trouble you most? Baines could easily exploit our weak defending out wide. Miralles will be key. Who is Everton's worst player or weak link, in your opinion? On the whole it's a good squad. If I had to say anything I'd say lack of options up top is still an issue. Where do you think us Toffees will finish this season? Just outside the top 6. Predictions? 1-1

Apparently selling meth wasn't enough..

Coming up on 2AM. One of the many times where I question why I do this.

Over 90 Hull deserve it. Our second half showing has been embarrassing. Disgraceful, a proper manager would be tearing strips off them all, nee mind that there was the odd solid performance amongst the bunch, as a team that was inexcusable.

Talk about spoiling my mood.

Clearly he's got at least one huge fan.

It's moments like these I hate football.

Remy, so close to the hat trick.

It's a big advantage when you're fresh as a daisy barely braking a sweat all match.

Huddlestone so lazy.

Ben Arfa was only going through the motions tracking back there. No pressure on the cross when he could easily have blocked/deflected it.

Fuck. That was some finish.

We've played well in patches, but look to be running out of ideas. That and Hull are buoyed by being right in this.

Ben Arfa has been extremely quiet.

Remy is wonderful to watch.

Cabaye's corner was only exceeded in shiteness by the follow up ball.

Statues.

Completely open header. Shocking.

Bloody hell, horrible start.

Entertaining first half. Our players were eager from the start, and it was great to see the first option was always to play it out from the back. As a result of dominating possession and ultimately getting the opening goal our fullbacks were pushing high up the pitch. Santon was sticking to his left channel, combining with Remy well but Debuchy was also coming in field on occassion. This left us exposed at the back where their most enterprising player (Brady) got behind Debuchy to cross for what should have been a goal. Somehow Krul managed to pull off an exceptional save, but it was all for nothing as almost immediately after the clearance the ball was back with Brady in all sorts of space on their left. It was a tidy finish from him between the advancing Krul's legs, but the real question was why had Debuchy pushed so far inside. Ben Arfa too could have been more proactive in pushing back to pickup the unmarked man. From there it was a flowing game with us obviously bossing possession, but Hull were not without influence. Despite them creating perhaps the two most clear cut chances of the half we're good for our lead.

Remy again!!! Cabaye shot touched by a defender into his path - clinically dispatched with great body shape allowing him to get the shot away instinctively.

Good block Debuchy, though out defense is looking scratchy. If I was less biased I would credit Hull with the way they're playing.
