[pething101]

Kick off.

West Ham trying to get first home win of the season.

James comes out for an early save. Long throw out.

Defoe set free almost ... gets tangled up in his own feet. Loses the advantage.

[pething101]

Cole with a scuffed corner. Sinclair shot, tested Wright. Corner to West Ham.

Corner by Di Canio, cleared by Carsley.

Di Canio nut meg to Cole, dont quite connect on it however.

Everton come forward ... cross headed out by Minto for a Toffee throw.

[pething101]

Lomas with some wayward passes early in the match.

9 minutes in, 0-0.

Ball from Cole to Lomas is decent but Lomas has no help and the threat is minimal.

Di Canio cross blocked. Throw in to West Ham.

[pething101]

Carsley with a shot/cross that goes out for a goal kick. James takes.

Offsides on an outrageous little chip. Di Canio busted.

Dailly, playing safety first, plays one out for a Everton throw.

James with a long clearance, higher than the flats across the street.

[pething101]

Nearly good ball from Di Canio to Cole but Yobo intercepts.

Again, Everton go out on the right but Minto takes it away.

Unsworth cross., Pierce cleared... Di Canio vs. Yobo ... cross in but Wright corralls it.

[pething101]

Free kick to West Ham as Unsworth fouls Sinclair. Di Canio wants to take quick, nothing comes of it.

Throw to West Ham on the halfway line.

Campbell clatters into Minto ... free kick given to WH.

Tie shot takes a defelction ... James controls it.

[pething101]

Still 0-0.

Repka giving the announcers a heart attack at times.

Cross comes in from Minto, I believe, is declared as "pure rubbish".

Pearce tries to play a ball back to James with Campbell in threat. James clears.

[pething101]

match has gone a bit quiet.

Lomas looks for Di Canio but puts it over his head.

Direct play by Everton cleared away.

27 minutes in, 0-0.

Some head tennis allows Campbell to wrong side Ian pearce ... great block by James.

[pething101]

James has to come out and take a ball off of Radzinski. Repka and james have a slight discussion.

Repka fouls Campbell. Free kick to Everton just inside WH's half.

Flick on header controlled by James.

Decent save from Wright on a shot from Carrick, I believe.

[pething101]

Neither team seems to have the run of play so far.

Di Canio on the deck, gets back up and then wins a free kick.

Lots of West Ham bodies in the box, free kick almost finds Pearce but does not.

Back to James, long put up ... Defoe vs. Yobo. Guess who won ... not Jermaine.

[pething101]

West Ham earn a throw deep in Everton area. Out for a goal kick.

about 40 mintues in, 0-0

HIbbert with an excellent shot, parried by James and then controlled before Campbell can get there.

Offsides on Defoe and he tries to get past Yobo.

[pething101]

Shot blocked brillantly so by Wright. Lovely little effort by Defoe finds Cole whose shot is blocked well.

Throw to WH. Daily to take. Appeals for handballs, very lame. Free kick to Everton.

Corner taken quickly by WH ... free kick against Paolo called.

Carsley header, saved by James. His third of the match.

[pething101]

HIbbert cross ... dangerous ... touched out.

Excellent chance for Everton as Repka thinks its offsides ... Repka misses, James miss but Tie misses from an acute angle.

Injury time

West Ham living dangerously before half.

Di Canio and Defoe not connecting well.

Halftime with a few mumbles from the crowd.
