FT at Goodison, 1-0 to the Toffees! Rooney subbed on for Carsley and knocked home a Naysmith corner for the winner. http://www.toffeeweb.com/season/03-04/reports/Birmingham(h).asp
Today's results put Everton in 11th place, ahead of Bolton on goal difference. One point out of the top half before the start of the new year ... good? Bad? Otherwise? What's the verdict around here?
i'll take our position now, thankyouverymuch i'm made-up with the result today...3 wins outta 4 now we're finally rolling...
