A. Marriner who really isn´t that old
Perhaps will be needing new specs,
Either that or he just had an off-day
Either way, we felt the full effects

Although having seen just the first half, I´d say
The pen shout was maybe no cert,
Some will be given while others will not
Had it been us we might have felt hurt

Usually when refs see things that aren´t there
Or miss things that seem plain to see,
It affects both sides during the 90 mins
Yesterday though, it wasn´t to be

So on that basis to manage a draw
That after being behind twice,
Was more than impressive against the Toffees
But almost we did pay the price

But the match itself lived up in every way
To everything we had hoped for,
Action at both ends, right from the off
No danger that this one would bore

Glad to see Howson who started quite slow
Work his way into the match,
And finally score as he´s been threatening to
There´s no doubt he´ll be one to watch

But having Holt back and Wesley on song
Makes all the difference to the team,
And good to see, at the back, Bennett R
Fitting into things just like a dream

So that makes 40 points home safe and sound
With 6 matches still left to play,
What happens in those six matters not much
Which should make them more fun to play

But as it stands now we could end in May
As high up as in seventh spot,
And although unlikely, with what we have left
Not bad for one dubbed for the drop. OTBC

Have a good Easter, and a great week all,

Yours,
 
great rhyme rbf, we should have won that one!

Whilbraham was incredible when he came on, did he get any mention for his brilliance in controlling his rebounded shot beating 3 Everton players and setting up Holty... no.

Great team performance, but thought Wes looked very tired at end think the little man needs a rest in the summer not a call up for Ireland!
 
Morning jarold,

Yep, we certainly deserved to win, but no shame in a draw, and great to see some unfancied runners surprising the favourites <ok>
 
Hi RBF, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by STC is my favourite poem of all time! What a story it tells, with some life-lessons for us all!

Your version also tells a story, allbeit a contemporary one, and I rank it up there with Coleridge's version!

Happy Easter to you and yours Sir
