Right, so on the lap of honour after the United game, how many people do we need to sing 'we want you to stay' for?
Only the one. We want you to stay... We want you to staaaaaaaaaaaay..... David Salas We want you to stay.

Same here. Great afternoon. Vic and Clyne My day has just been spoiled by the helicopter crash news though. Back later.
Thought Cork, Davis and Wanyama were all in momentous form, though it has to be said especially in the second half Everton were making it easy for them, they were just walking past them at times. Clyne was also fantastic, he really matches up well against out and out wingers who try and take on their man, they rarely get any change out of him at all. Also thought Lovren dominated Lukaku for the entirety of the game to the point where Lukaku was playing right wing at the end of the game just to be able to touch the ball, but I have no idea what Dejan was doing going for Osman (though the more I see it the more I think the ref made a fantastic call). Rickie was also in his best no.10 form and him and Gallagher linked up very well at times though we didn't threaten greatly for most of the game. Funny game really where we had some fantastic performances but again didn't really threaten the goal that much, but I guess we were comfortably defending a lead for most of the game. Definitely got our share of luck but I really couldn't care any less - about bloody time!
Well that was a very good performance. The own goals were amusing as were the chants that followed. Clyne and Cork were outstanding, not sure who is man of the match out of the two. Davis and Wanyama were also excellent.
That was as one-sided an encounter as the Fulham game. Great performance and I wonder whether it would have been even better if we had scored the goals? Nah, it wouldn't be as funny as it was, and the chanting was hysterical
Loved it when one of their defenders was running back toward his goalkeeper with the ball and the crowd were shouting SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT.
Good performance against a very good side who we just didn't let get in their stride. Clyne, Cork, Davis and Vic were outstanding today. The rest were also very good.
I've been screaming of that all season. It was actually Pochettino who made it an either/or debate. Cork was much more attacking last season so I always thought it slightly odd that he was considered to play the same role as Wanyama. The fact is they were both excellent today and they definitely complimented each other's styles. Its not as if Everton were a poor team, so I would go as far as to say that we have just seen the best central midfield display of the season.
Jack Cork reportedly said post-match that all the team love playing here and want to stay here. I love you, Jack
Today was brilliant. Hopefully now that our position is all but cemented we can look nervously towards the summer. Get rid of Osvaldo, bring in a new ST/winger and possibly some cover elsewhere. Apart from that we our heading in the right direction and the spirit of our squad can't be matched by any other clubs. Oh, and sign Poch up long term too, that'd be nice.
I still think he has already agreed terms. He and Pochettino will have it announced together, with a big photoshoot all lined up.
