Everton away. What was the score? Lost 2-1
Back in the relegation tunnel but still with a route map, so everything still to play for. It was a cruel way to lose after fighting back so gallantly. Great goal from Benty, that will do his confidence a world of good. Maybe some naivety from Bougherra and some wrong decision making from Thatcher but it is entirely wrong to dwell on these matters as we need to look ahead. Four games to go and no one ever said it would be easy. If we thought the West Ham game back in February was massive then Saturday's is gargantuan.

I reckon he could make a blind man think he can see, with the faith and reassurance he exudes. The rollercoaster carries on, I'm starting to feel sick and its still a huge ask but we are in it together and I reckon we can out-sing that fat lady, who has appeared but yet to clear her throat.
I played football, checking my Blackberry at every opportunity like a complete loser. My team lost too, it wasn't a good day but we all live for another. Come on you reds!

Super Al: "My overriding feeling is that this team still has a lot to say in what's going to go on between now and the end of the season."
