Just read that Nottingham Forest have sacked Sean O'Driscoll - hours after they won 4-2 and went one point off the Championship play-off positions. For all those supporters urging our current board to sell out to new wealthy owners, just be careful what you wish for in case we end up with persons like that.

Apparently their owner is in contact with a premier league manager! Hope its not Moyes as their owner is stinking rich with money to chuck at the club similar to Citeh and Chelski! Degsypulford {Ed025's Note - that would be such a backward step, i just cant see it..

Mark hughes or RDM

On DM's situation, why would any manager in his right mind consider leaving a club that :
- pays him in excess of £3m a year
- where he has the trust and confidence of the Chairman and BoD
- suffers no interference in footballing matters
- and receives as much backing on transfers as is financially prudent
There is no guarantee that success will deliver both satisfaction or enhance coaching reputations - Ask Roberto De Matteo!
If I were in DM's shoes I'd even think twice about any future offer to manage Man U, for rest assured the replacement for Fergie will never be allowed the same free reign.
Fancy Smith {Ed025's Note - all good points them fancy..

All good points, but I wouldn't blame DM if he wanted to test his mettle with another challenge... I'd be bitterly disappointed if he left Everton, but I'd be thankful for the progress he's brought and hope that his successor would carry on moving the club forward. Players, managers, staff, directors - even supporters - all come and go eventually, but the club, its sprit, and its heart live on... I just hope that we are all worthy of our great club during our part in its history.

Another 3 points. Good result against our bogey draw team.

Actually feeling positive ahead of Chelsea on Sunday. A result there will seriously put pressure on the other teams around us.

Might even help with transfers wanting to come to a top 4 contending team.

Toffee ace {Ed025's Note - good result ace...but to be fair mate, very poor viewing..everyone has been giving us plaudits for our style of play, but today we were very poor mate!..i know we will all say a wins a win, and you are dead right! and yes the weather was crap...i just expected a bit more..

Flippin heck Ed. You had too much gin today?

Weve had plenty of good games and walked away with just a point. Ill take tgese 3 any day. All without Felly and Super Kev.

Get 8 hours in tonight mate. Your a bit cranky mate ;-)

Toffee ace {Ed025's Note - i got soaked, and am full of flu ace, normal service will be resumed tomorrow..

Trying to predict the team for today. I assume Colman is injured as he didn't play at the weekend

I'd really like to see the below but I doubt it will happen

Howard
Neville Jags Distin Baines
Pinear Osman Gibson Oviedo
Anichebe
Jelavic

More likely Moyse will stick with the same team as Saturday

No point fixing something that isn't broken is Moyes' usual mantra. Although we didn't play as well as we have done it got the job done in the end. I'd be surprised if he changed it.

I was nearly right, just hitzleberger for Oviedo
