I saw two stood ready to crowd out Torp and block his shots on the edge of the area yesterday. It worked, but should free up others once we realise what they are doing. Need to work on plan b.

Yeah, but if Milan is on he has to take them. He's not as good as Bobby in the box.

I'm listening to the phone in; some saying there's a conundrum about whether to buy to consolidate our Championship position or to buy for the Premiership. I think this is irrelevant. We will buy the best players we can afford and who want to come here. Buying for a different league doesn't...

We are playing well although Rudi is rather anonymous so far. Three great chances for us but Ipswich scored from their only foray into our box. I'm sure the red card has been discussed. Hurst should have gone; ref bottled it. We should raise it after the game. So much money at stake here...

There's so much contradictory information out there. Some sites state he's a Chelsea player.

Can only find this, not being reported anywhere reliable

But we won't want to sell right now, so we won't accept whatever fair market value may be. The only way I could see us being persuaded to sell is if it's an inflated sum we could use to change up: say get an equivalent in and buy a new left back.

It's a crazy sum for a team like Everton to pay for a youth player. Man City, Arsenal sure. But it's not like Everton don't need first team players.

If I were Doug, I'd be tempted to keep the model and only buy young players we can make a turn on. And maybe only five or six of them too: just enough to get our squad numbers up. And spend maybe only 70% of the TV money: an average of £10m - £12m per purchase. Let's face it, we could spend...

Despite being mocked here, I still think it's possible that Haji is sold in January (Leeds?) and a marquee striker signing arrives.

I'm planning on a meltdown. What about you?

A song for Dr. Roberts? Ready made by the Beatles. It's fate.

After winning the first half 2-1, I'd have taken a draw in the second half... Turns out we won that too.

Ellis Simms.

Ellis Simms, you filthy bastard!

Although they are closest, their recent form is only mid-table and they aren't scoring many. I predict we take advantage of their dip and bring home the points for a ten point gap. 0-2.

Colin Stein Gary Gillespie Off the top of my head. Both hits. Eoin Jess was good too.

( I'm calm. Just like stats. 106 points in a season is crazy.

Beat Boro on Tuesday and we go ten points clear at the top. Also puts us on track to beat the record number of points in a season (106 by Reading, our 40 points after 17 games puts us on track for 108 points)

My favourite was "what does it feel like to score a goal?"
