I'm not here to gloat, as nobody likes a smart ass especially after a defeat, and besides, the roles may be reversed next time.
What I will say is that before the match, we were hitting quite a bit of form.
We totally outplayed Liverpool despite losing, matched Chelsea, totally outplayed Arsenal, and the same again today against an emerging City side.
When we consider that we are missing some of our dominant players through injury, and again through the African Nations,( as your good selves are ), we are starting to look like the Everton we all know, and our troubles seem to be lessening with each week that goes by.
Today, we showed City fans that yes, we can play good football, and yes, we are one of the better teams in the league, and that is the standard that hopefully will be built upon in time for next season, and perhaps the remainder of this season.
With respect to City, today, you lacked a lot of composure, and leadership on the pitch, and were simply outplayed in every department.
I think we may have got the bounce of the ball, but we fought for every possssion, while the City lads looked a little slow and clumbsy.
I'm sure you'll agree that my prediction of 4-0, although being light hearted banter, actually could have come true today, such was the difference between the two sides.
Any way, like I said, I'm not here to gloat, even if I am feeling rather pleased that certain fans here may have to eat humble pie after their comments.
Today was our day, and next time who knows, so all the best for the season and see you next time.

kramer said:Yes, Everton are back and Moyes certainly gets the most out of what he's got But it is not the school of science football that Everton fans think they are known for. Moyes plays percentage football, pressure the opponent and knock it long, look for free kicks and corners because that is where the majority of goals come from. Fair play to them today the game plan worked with the help of an incompetent ref who gave a free kick when a player fell over, the first goal, then a penalty when it should have been a free kick. Personally I hate this Wimbledon style of football and the only way to beat it is to match it unfortunately we had too many of our players who can't play that way leaving too much for the ones who can. Mancini will have learn't today more about the players and the league than the previous four games and one defeat and four wins is better than being undefeated with five draws. So lets put it to bed and roll on Tuesday.

all i'm gonna say is, your fans are fuckin stupid, do you ever make noise when your not winning or when your drawing, the first time i heard you lot was when you scored, fuck me it was almost as bad as last season, even at 2-0 you could hear a pin drop and you wouldn't think you was winning, we made more noise than you and we were getting well and truely fucked!

You must have been at a different game pal. Far as I can remember you lot left with fifteen minutes left and we spend the remainder of the time singing our hearts out. Two highlights from the city fans for me 'fergie sign him up' to tevez which is still well funny all this time later.
and at the start when you lot decided to sing 'where's your lescott gone' to which we replied 'what a waste of money' and the city fans clapped. enough said.
