EVERTON (2) vs (1) FULHAM - FULL TIME
What a great victory. Right at the end of the game! Arteta scores a great penalty to keep the pressure on for Pool.
Everton sees Yak replacing Saha. Hibbo takes his rightful right back position while Arteta is back to hold the middle ground. Timmy is starting his 200th game for Everton. Great job!
Fulham seems to be preserving their team for the upcoming Europa game. Everton is in the ascendancy for a good 10 minutes. Everton even threatened as early as the 2nd minute. A great first timer by Bily saw the ball ricocheting off the upright.
Everton has the ball all over the park but they are just not putting any pressure on the opposing goalkeeper. Yak had a chance in the 20th minute when a Fulham defender took his eye off the ball. Yak picked the ball and smashed it wide of goal. Timmy's turn to try in the 22nd minute. Wide right.
What was Bainesy thinking? Poor, poor back pass in the 36th minute! How could he have passed without even looking who is behind him? Everton 0-1 Fulham. Are they really interested in the game or are they just being too complecent? Yak nearly scored in the 39th minute but just to soft the shot. Everton better fight on. They'd better not think it's an easy match!
Everton's game is in a mess. Arteta is out to get himself sewn back. Half time couldn't have came earlier. Arteta is back after getting seven stitches.
Once again, Bily is taken off as he has been totally ineffective. Anichebe comes in for him. Great job!!! Everton is back. A cross from Arteta on the left saw Anichebe heading into goal off a deflection. Everton 1-1 Fulham. Assist: Arteta. It does not matter how it enters, so long as it's in. Everton is once again creating spaces for themselves. Timmy's goalward header in the 52nd minute was saved! Point blank!
Saha is in for Neville in the 60th minute. He has also made a couple of mis-passes today. What's new right? Pool is leading. So the chance of getting 7th place is slipping away from the Toffees.
Another player bleeds for the game:- Pienaar got a cut along the side of his head. Great play but a good block to prevent Timmy from scoring in the 79th minute. Even if Everton can't get 7th, they will still need to win this match!
Yak is being replaced by young Baxter in the 86th minute. Saha so nearly scored in the 90th minute! Side netting.
Unbelievable! 93rd minute, Everton took a final throw-in on the right of the field. Everton put in the ball. The onrushing Timmy was stopped abruptly in the penalty box. Nerve-wrecking moment for the entire team. Arteta stepped up, took a few step forward and curled the ball to the left of the goal. Goal!!!!! Everton 2-1 Fulham.
So, so close.

BLACKBURN (2) vs (3) EVERTON - FULL TIME
I've two words for this game - Totally nail-biting. Is that three words? Anyhoos. With every goal that Everton scored, Blackburn scored back. It looked like Everton was heading into our fourth draw only for Timmy to change that scene totally with a goal to garner a win over Blackburn on their home soil.
It was a dream line-up for Everton with Arteta and Hibbo back in the first XI. Anichebe is also on the bench. What a great line-up. What a great start that Everton is having. In the 2nd minute, Bainesy puts in a lovely cross from the left channel to an unmark Arteta. An on-rushing defender took him out in the penalty box as Arteta shifted the ball so quickly and all the defender saw was air. What a magical move.
Arteta took the ball, placed it on the field and despatched a lovely ball into the net. Blackburn 0-1 Everton. Great penalty.
Blackburn so nearly scored but for a wonderful Timmy's clearance in the 12th minute. It's not all-Everton, this game.
Arteta nearly lose the plot! What was he thinking when he started poking players in the eyes. That's a red card offence. The boy is lucky to get just a yellow. He has to calm down. Everton needs to extend that lead as over the last couple of games, they were pretty prone to letting in equalisers!
Blackburn nearly scored in the 38th minute and again in the 40th minute. Howard can't seem to catch these balls. It seems that Everton is not able to deal with those long throws, corners and high balls. On top of that, Everton is making it difficult for themselves with nearly suicidal passing by who else but Neville, while Bily is making all the wrong passes at critical moments in the game. Crazy game!
The team is not using the overlapping play enough. Bainesy and Hibbo are not going up enough. That's what they'll need to do in the second half. Anichebe should also be brought in for the uncommital Bily!
Great, great chance by Timmy in the 56th minute but headed above the bar! Anyway, Bainesy seems to be a better crosser than Bily. What a power shot from Bainesy in the 67th minute! Bounced off the left upright and out of play. Anichebe in for the ineffective Bily in the 68th minute.
Blackburn has now scored. Blackburn 1-1 Everton. We are going through rubbish again!!! That is what is happening to Everton for the last couple of matches! Yak is on for Hibbo in the 78th minute. Meaning that Neville will head into right back.
What a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yak scores in the 78th minute without breaking a sweat! Long throw, back header by Anichebe and Yak was there to nod the ball home! Tremendous substitution! Blackburn 1-2 Everton. The Toffees need to go for the jagular! C'mon Everton! Blackburn scores against Everton. Blackburn 2-2 Everton.
You really wonder why it's so difficult for Everton to win their games.
Everton leaaaaaaaaaads!!!!!!! Pick it up!!! Bainesy passes the ball to Yak. A deft touch and he was free from hi defender. Open, he puts in a low cross for Timmy to tuck it in. Blackburn 2-3 Everton. Assist: Yak.
Everton needs to hold on to that lead and that is what they did! So tight a match, and I've finished biting my nail. Finally, no longer a silver spoonist. Great subs, great ending.

ASTON VILLA (2) vs (2) EVERTON - FULL TIME
Can't bear to write alot as it was so, so close for Everton to take all three points. This is the third game consecutively that Everton has drew. We were always leading. First it was 1-0 to Everton. Bainesy puts in a cross for lil Timmy to put in a header in the 21st minute. Assist: Bainesy.
Villa came back in the 71st minutes to neutralise the score. But a minute after kick-off, Everton was in front again. A cross from Bily met the head of Timmy once again. 2-1. But the unfortunate thing had to happen.
Just two minutes to time came the equaliser! Bummer!
When the referee blowed the whistle, you just know that this season is not Everton's. The injury to key players and the departing of a few meant that Everton was not given a fighting chance right from the start. Also, the chance for Europe seemed to have been lost with this draw.

EVERTON (2) vs (2) WEST HAM - FULL TIME
Everton played to a draw and that means that they have dropped two points in their chase for a chance to play in Europe. West Ham fought hard for their points and that is what you get when you play against a relegation-threatened team.
Everton sees Bily coming into the team for Arteta who has a slight strain. Heitinga has been moved into a holding midfielder role, which he is slowly making it his own. Senderos is also back from his injury and occupies the a place on the bench. It is now or never for Bily to shine. Donovan made such an impact and if Bily does live up to his livewire tag, he may be benched for a long time to come.
Everton has control of the first eight minutes but seems to be dilly-dallying in terms of the attack. Distin is basically in West Ham's half most of the time but his crosses into the penalty area both went straight to the opposing goalkeeper.
Jag made a near critical error in the 19th minute with a pass that went to the opposing team. Blocked shot by Heitinga.
With Everton's dominance, the first goal just had to come. A nice cross from Bainesy in the 24th minute saw the ball cleared by a West Ham defender. But only as far as to Timmy who headed the ball back towards goal. Bily was there to guide the ball into goal. Everton 1-0 West Ham. Assist: Timmy.
The pressure on West Ham continues. Everton needs another goal to open the lead. Timmy tries a shot in the 33rd minute. Missed left. The West Ham defence is in sixes and sevens.
What nonsense! Everton conceded a penalty in the 36th minute. A foul by Distin! But Howard saved the penalty shot! Brilliant piece of individual skill! Everton knows that they were so close to losing their lead.
In the second half, West Ham is fighting back. Everton really need that second goal badly. So-so close for West Ham. The ball clipped the bar and was cleared by Everton but still, West Ham managed to squeeze the ball into the net in their next try. Everton 1-1 West Ham.
Everton needs a change of strategy. Yak is in for Bily in the 65th minute. We need to make that difference, and we are on home ground. Sheesh!!!
A penalty not given to Everton in the 69th minute! Everton needs to keep up the pressure. They are playing well only in one half and that's not good enough. Rodwell needs to come in to make that difference. Also, one point won't help Everton in any way at this juncture.
Rodwell is in for Ossie in the 82nd minute. Pressure off!!!
Good block by Timmy in West Ham area. The ball goes towards Pienaar and Rodwell who pushed the ball to the left channel. Bainesy looked up, made a cross and Yak was there to score in the 84th minute. Everton 2-1 West Ham. Assist: Bainesy.
West Ham hits back in the 86th minute. Everton 2-2 West Ham. Argh!!!
Painful to not see Everton win this.
