The city is ours, the city is ourrrrrrs, **** off to Norway, the city is ours.
Best night of my life, never known an atmosphere like it. There was a ridiculous amount of chirping on the train on the way there from Kopites who were convinced that it was going to be a formality. As it turned out, most Evertonians' predictions came true and we got another good win in a midweek game at Goodison.
The loss of Gerrard was a big turning point; he has this natural ability to find space and make himself time on the ball that very few others have. Torres isn't fit, that is abundantly clear. Jagielka had him in his pocket all night and I think the persistent 'ladyboy' chants started to get to him at the end (not that I was involved in such terrible chanting
).
Gosling has really come on this season and seems to pick the right option more often than not. If Pienaar's out on Saturday, I would imagine the lad would get a start. Props to Jack Rodwell too, who just sat there holding and allowed Arteta to get further forward than he had been all night. Good to see Shandy Andy with the cross for the goal aswell. Despite a less than successful few years at Goodison, the crowd have always been willing to give him a chance and I suspected he might have an impact when he came on.
Bring on Villa, should be a great game.
