Keep telling it as you see it Kevin.
It's very revealing to see what a key player Alex Song has become and that the next few weeks we don't seem to have a ready replacement.
The Almunia situation has gone on far too long.He's never looked as though he enjoys it and it's time to call an end to it.
Yes we still have a chance with the PL but only with an injection of new blood,as Kevin has endlessly documented over the last few months.
ICE Cold without Alex
It was 1 point gained than 2 points lost.. When we went down 2-1 with around 10mins left, I felt it would be difficult to get us back into the game and more so when Denilson fell down.. We would have lost the game last season or the one before that.. But this team meant business and didnt give up.. They fought till the final whistle, got d equaliser and even went for a win!! Just brilliant…
The team were really trying even though things weren’t going our way. Dudu is truly getting his predatory insticts back to its best and we all will see it very soon… Rosicky took the goal well and made couple of cool chips even though they didnt go where he intended..
The TV commentator was praising Cahill for stopping the game after Almunia made a great save which allowed us to gain the one point, but when I saw the replay, Cahill was involved in the build-up to the save.. Did he get the thought only after Almunia made a save?? Why didnt he get the thought when he saw Denilson go to the ground??

After a bad night sleep I came to the conclusion that Everton really had something to prove afther the humiliation they got in august. They wanted to show that they werent that bad.
If you take the starting line then: Arshavin-RVP-Bendtner and in midfield Denilson-Song-Cesc and yesterday only 2 left of those.
But the one on the field tried and fought for it and that is wat one have to do if things don’t work out. Yes this was one of our worst games against a team that had something to prove, but I’m pretty sure that last season we would have lost this game. Now we managed to save a point.
even in the unbeaten season we had games like this, playing with our best ever team.
I sit behind the goal which Everton attacked in the first half, and they were incredibly strong and powerful in their approach – far more so than you normally see in a game. Everyone was pushing up and standing within an inch or so of an Arsenal player. A very very powerful start.
It is a gamble of course, because they could have been caught at the back, as we were, and if they had not scored when they did (which allowed them to pull off) they would have got very tired.
They took a gamble, knowing they were playing against a new formation, and it paid off in terms of getting one point.
It happens.

although I agree with most of the article, and that not everything is always rosey, there is an obvious feeling that the editorials have become overly negative. Even an article which tried to defend this contained the thought that we were lucky Everton didn't put 6 past us at the weekend. Whilst we were poor, we weren't that poor. And the reference to the palace game in 98 with grimandi scoring the winner, Everton are a far better team than that Palace side and played well. Crucial couple of weeks coming up which will go someway to deciding our season.
