Anybody thinking our position in the league has got anything to do with Avram Grant simply needs to think about the implications of last night's result at Eastlands.
Everton have been crap all season, so crap that they have hovered just above the drop within touching distance of even ourselves. Unreal City, meanwhile, were on a roll. Victory last night would have taken them top of the table. Seven days ago the result was a banker. Then enter Mr Tevez!
Our saviour in the Great Escape promptly slapped in a transfer request and destroyed any semblance of team spirit and togetherness at the Manchester Whore House. Inside six minutes of last night's game, Everton were ahead and before you knew it, Baines had fired in another. Game as good as over!
And the significance to ourselves? Well what a perfect warm up for Everton ahead of playing West Ham! Talk about Sod's Law. They are a bogey team anyway and regard a trip to the Boleyn as a annual present of three points; now they will arrive with confidence restored, Tesco Value Toffees turned into Quality Street just in time for our game!
And not content with that, Fate smiled down wickedly as Anichebe was shown his second yellow, guaranteeing a start at Upton Park for one of three players: summer targets Yakubu or Beckford; or Luis Saha, who scores against us for fun!
So, that's another home defeat guaranteed - and there is nothing Grant can do about it! The involvement of Tevez in the restoration of Everton's confidence in time for this game is not chance my friends. This is the revenge of the gods!

much disbelief up here about the absolute dominance of City - Everton did to them what we did to Arsenal a few seasons ago.. they had three shots on goal and scroed with two .. city had a gazillion and hit one. Granted Everton are our bogey team .. as big as LFC- what is it about that cursed city?- and Bolton. Not saying it won't boost Everton but they were damn lucky last night.Possession was something like 70-30. If I had any faith I'd keep it but I still think Everton will do for us and perhaps more significantly for Grant.
Are you saying God doesn't like Avram? Never.
...all the more reason to get rid of him init HF? You can't beat God now.
Stani, you miss the point entirely displaying a disappointing & surprising lack of intelligence! The whole point is that the gods (in the plural note mate) have it in for us because of the Tevez affair. Even YOU can't blame Avram for that!
No HF, I was pulling your leg. Of course I understood your post. You're so highly strung these days.
On the way to the post office, I just saw a filthy white transit down the corner of my road and it had the Hammers sign drawn on it with the words 'Grant out' :)
Yeh mate, that's why we use 'Allah' because it does not have a plural, or gender form.
