Two Halves ….. A Great Goal and ….. Baby Rooney !!

A dreary drizzle was over Goodison as we arrived from the Top House after a kind beer from Skinny taking his nephew Jordan to a first Goodison trip. The Top House had run out of Guinness an hour before kick off and we were asking ourselves what type of day was this we were going to have!!

The first half proved to be as frustrating as the rain and lack of Guinness, with missed passes and a lack of running into space, which inevitably resulted in boos from the Everton faithful. Fletcher punished us on 22 minutes with good movement in the box after a slide rule pass from the impressive Giggs who was excellent in his new centre mid position.

I Guess Moyes’ recognised this frustration by Goodison faithful and surely expressed his disappointment in what appeared once again, our big players not performing.

After some rash challenges, to say the least, Everton showed their bottle especially after Big Phil tickled Ronaldo who seemed to have been shot from someone in the Bullens stand and Ferdinand ran the length of the pitch to express his dissatisfaction and read Nev his life story. After that I think Ostrich Ferdy was knackered because he couldn’t kick or catch anyone near him.

Neville now riled put in a great cross for Fellaini to rise like a fit Big Dunc and bury the ball into the corner of Gladwy’s Street net. Everton maintained their fighting spirit and next up was the Yak with a run following a lovely pass from the tired Ferdi and was only denied a goal by Saars finger tips with the ball clipping the post.

The special moment of the day for me was from the Parkies who were giving the ‘True Blue’ traitor Rooney stick all day with a variety of songs referring to his weight, family and home to receive a hand gesture, which resulted in a booking and substitution from Old Blue nose, red cheeks Fergie.

If we keep up the spirit we showed in the second half we may need our passports again next year - Tom
