Happy Happy! This had been a great 2 weeks for us, first winning Man U at home, and now beating the blue noses at Goodison Park :)

Torres was the target of some rough handling by Everton again and it really frustrates him, so when he scores the 2 goals in quick succession, I was screaming in joy and shouted justice done, Torres had the last laugh alright :)

And I think Everton is more and more like the Man U's second team for taking in their rejects like Tim Howard, Phil Neville and now even Louis Saha, putting a group of former man utd players together doesn't gurantee any similar success :P
