Everton 3 Swansea 2 - (Baines (pen), Lukaku, Barkley)

You wait all season for a Welsh team to visit the Old Lady, and then two turn up at once! This weekend sees the visit of Swansea City, and with it a visit from the half man, half ape, half stupid name and half arithmetic fail that is Jonjo Shelvey.

Gary Monk felt that the West Brom game was season defining. That's disappointing for them then, and they're looking over their shoulders nervously now and will be fully aware every point counts. That said, their recent results suggest that they are there for the taking as the does the relatively recent comfortable victory in the FA Cup.

However, this being Everton... who knows? It took a last minute mis-kick to finally get our noses ahead of Cardiff. With any luck, the good Lukaku will turn up this week - this may be helped if the Kevin Mirallas that occasionally looks for a team mate turns up as will. Failing all that Super Nais will break their hearts again with another piece of opportunism.

3-0 Blues: Lukaku, Nais and Coleman.

1-1 We play as well as the opposition. Naismith with a 96th minute equaliser.

is the heat gettin' to ya then?

Start with McGeady and Barkley, drop Mirallas and Osman. McGeady will feed Lukaku and Lukaku will score.

5-1 to the Blue boys.

0-3 hat trick from Lee Trundle.

in fairness... if their keeper had been 'normal' ... we have won that game about 7-2

Keeping up with Roberto's transfer policy, I wonder if we'll see a lot more of David Marshall in the future.

its quiet, too quiet.....

Howard (c), Coleman, Baines, Stones, Distin, McCarthy, Barry, Mirallas, McGeady, Barkley, Lukaku

Good line up. I'm glad McGeady is starting. To be honest, it's a bit of a toss-up between Mirallas and Foo to start, as they've both been pretty shit.
