Thanks for the commentary so far, pething. I just got home from church. :)

Had to hit the 8 am service this morning myself.

West Ham seem to be playing the long ball approach. Not working to well.

The Big Tit is on the bench.

Free kick to WH ... some confusion on that one between Rekpa and Di Canio.

[pething101]

Announcers are tired of the long ball to Defoe with Yobo defending.

Cole almost got in alone but his toe poke is controlled.

West Ham seem to be bypassing the mid field entirely.

Husband and wife play between Sinclair and Carrick kills a WH advantage.

[pething101]

Repka gets a talking to by the referee.

Shot from Pembridge saved comfortably by James. Long punt upfield. Defoe actually got on to it and won a throw.

Everton at the moment, looking more menacing.

Foul given against Joe Cole. Cleared away by Wright.

[pething101]

55 minutes in or so. 0-0.

James misjudges a ball, Campbell gets a head on it but it goes over the bar.

Campbell down for a moment. Back up on his feet.

Announcer almost calling for the Big Tit. :eek:

Corner for WH. A little roar from the supporters.

Di Canio ... Pearce hits the side netting.

[pething101]

Di Canio flubs a lovely ball from Cole. Tried to lean back and crank one but just mishits it.

Two good chances in last couple of minutes.

Shot by Pembridge ... blocked by Dailly. Corner to the Toffees. Short. Played back in. Offsides.

60 minutes in, 0-0.

No signs of movement on either bench.

[pething101]

Cross by Carsley collected by James. Long throw to Paolo intercepted by Yobo.

Tie is finding some space. Cross claimed by James.

Rooney on, Radzinki off.

63 minutes in, 0-0.

"West Ham are architects of thier own misfortune."

Pearce fouled. Free kick.

[pething101]

Rooney through. Shot over the bar.

Long ball for Sinclair. Plays on in and offsides is called. Minto fives yard offsides.

No signs of any subs.

Cross in, Rooney misses a header.

GOAL! Carsley for Everton.

Crap.

Long cross, headed in. 1-0. Toffees.

[Frieslander]

I know it ain't over yet, but what happened to "Fortress Upton Park?"

[pething101]

Big ballooning cross ... Carsley beats James near post with the header.

Under 20 minutes to play.

This one is not sounding good at the moment.

Cisse is getting ready to come on for Lomas.

No idea. This is disturbing.

Sinclair with a cross, Cole beaten in the air.

Rooney with some moves. Repka with good defence, earns a goal kick. James takes.

Couple of scuffed crosses for WH.

Sinclair with a poor header off a Cisse cross. Over the bar.

[pething101]

"there is no urgency .. there is no get up and get at them."

The Big Tit is now warming up.

Not really much positive going on for WH ... so not really much to type.

Next two home games are Leeds and ManUre.

Di Canio tries to cut infield but Yobo gets a touch away.

[pething101]

Cole shot ... parried for a corner. Created something out of nothing. maybe the lift WH needs.

A little bit of a roar as WH gets another corner. Volley goes wide ... deflected. Another corner. Overhit.

Dailly penalized for a foul. Good spell of pressure.

The Big Tit is on. For Minto.

I never thought he'd play for us again.

[pething101]

About 9 minutes to go. Everton 1, WH 0.

Wright unable to control a ball but no one is able to get onto it.

WH throw, WH looking to pile it on now.

Pearce shot, on target but a routine save from Wright.

[pething101]

West Ham picking it up at the moment. Maybe too little to late however.

Cisse fouled. Ball kicked away by Unsworth.

Ball into Sinclair. Cleared ... 4 on 2 for Everton. Shot for Campbell played away.

Tie off for Pistone.

[pething101]

3 minutes of stopage.

Crowd clearing out. Announcers expecting some boos.

Good time for the audio to rebuffer.

Yes, there some boos around the ground as the playes make thier way off the pitch.

[Frieslander]

thanks again for posting.

Not a problem. Too bad it was all for naught.

[El Toro]

Just got back in town and got the news. Wonder if that poll would yield the same results now. I know I would vote the same.
