I watched the first half & then turned it off - to me it looked like the only team that were likely to score was Newcastle & the way Everton were playing up until half time unless they changed a few things they could have played all night & still not scored.

I see from the BBC report that DCL came off the bench & had an effect- I suppose that means he is going to be fit for Sunday.

You missed a very eventful second half, including a protestor tying himself to the post, a worker releasing him with a bolt-cutter as big as a tree, a scally coming on to the pitch to punch the protestor in the face and - back to football - a controversial sending off and a last minute goal.

They must be absolutely knackered after that, will have only 2 days to prepare (compared to our 5), have more absentees, have to travel down to our gaff and (above all) are absolutely sh1te.

This one is ours to lose.
