Half Time - Everton 0 West Ham 1 - Chewing Toffees for 45 minutes

Whisper it very quietly but, not only are we winning, we deserve to be at least two ahead! The team are playing well, as a team, with the midfield hunting in packs when not in possession and finding team mates with neat passes when we do have the ball. Everton have had more of the possession but, thus far, we have used it the better of the two teams.

Boa has had the ball in the net but was offside. Piquionne was so unlucky with a header against the base of the post that then ran across the face of the goal and out for a goal kick, and we could have had a penalty when Neville tripped Bridge in the box.

At the back, Tomkins and Upson are looking pretty solid and Bridge and Faubert are acquitting themselves well. All the other results are going our way too except for Fulham leading! The only cloud in the sky is Parker's booking for another stupidly needless foul with our goal under no threat whatsoever. When will he learn?

This can't last of course. No doubt we will come out second half and hand the initiative to Everton and it will be 2-1 to the home team before we know it. Then Wigan will equalise at the Emirates, Birmingham will hit five at Old Trafford and Blackpool will smash three second half goals against Sunderland. But, for now, the bubbles are quivering delicately in the air and...Nope, I'm not tempting fate!

I forgot the bloody goal! Boa, yes Boa, crossed perfectly for Spector and the American buried the chance for his first Prem goal. Give him a contract quick!
