Funny as that.

You should still be up from the night before.

Did I mention I was in bed before 11 on x-mas day?! I am so used to getting up right after 5 that I have a hard time sleeping in when I am off. Granted, that logic would then mean I'd be up for the match, but I doubt it since I'll be in bed so much later than normal.

West Brom v Everton will send you to sleep in no time

"Jim: With us today on Sky Sports News is Tony Cottee and he will keep us up to date with any developments at The Hawthorns.

Tony, 15 mins gone. Any chances yet?

Tony: No Jim. Its pretty awful stuff.

Jim: Coming up to halftime. Which manager will be the happier?

Tony: Roy will be disappointed. Shane Long is seeing a lot of the ball and is troubling Everton defense but no one around him on his wavelength. Everton have been poor. Little or no invention. Moyes will need to say something in the dressing room.

Jim: Coming up to the hour mark Tony. Any substitutions?

Tony: Everton have taken off Tim Cahill and Louis Saha who have been disappointing and brought on Vellios and McFadden but they are isolated upfront. To be fair West Brom should be ahead. Long has hit the post and brought out two smart saves from Howard.

Jim: Ok, dying moments at the Hawthorns Tony. Looks like both teams will have to settle for a point.

Tony: Yeah Jim. Moyes has brought on Bilyaletdinov for Drenthe but nothing has worked for them today. West Brom should really have won this by a couple of goals but other then the impressive Shane Long, they haven't been aggressive enough. Poor game.

(after the break)
Jim. Late late drama at the Hawthorns!! Tony!!

Tony: Penalty to Everton Jim. Its the last kick of the game and Everton have a soft penalty. The big lad Vellios looks like he was held back by Olsen as a corner came in but there is not much in it and its a soft one. Hodgson is arguing with the 4th official and the West Brom players can't believe it. Up steps Bainessssss anddd................Scores!!!!!!!! Oh, they have nicked this one Jim. And there goes the whistle and the West Broms fans start to boo at the official. Poor poor game.

Jim: Thanks for that Tony. Now back to the cricket at the MCG.

Disagree. He is having a great season. His crosses are never going to be in Baines' league but he has improved enormously going forward. I would say 8 or 9 out of 10 crosses get into the box which is a huge improvement on previous seasons. It's not Hibbo's fault that we don't get enough players into the box to attack them.

I thought Hibbo's crossing todat was poor albeit he has been playing decent recently.
