Acuna keeps up his record of never scoring on the losing side for us.

We were 'lucky' according to radio reports from 5Live, 3 -1 is lucky?????????? Yeah right.

Well Lynda - they reckon we were lucky at Boro (4-1), lucky at Bolton (4-0) and now lucky at Everton (3-1).

Perhaps we're beginning to get the rub of the green that we haven't had for donkeys years.

Perhaps we are Clarky, but not at home.

Too true Clarky. We've never been a lucky team have we?

You know Paul - we've become something of a counter-attacking team with genuine pace up front. This has contributed significantly to our away victories.

Apart from last week, where we made some major tactical gaffs, our problem at home is likely to be how to break down teams who come to stop us playing through our wingers, as we lack real creativity in the middle of the park that would provide us with options.

Terrific win. Everton aren't a bad side this season. Puts us 6 although Chelsea are playing tomorrow.

Although we have had 2 bad results at home our away performances have made up for it.

We expect to maybe get a win at home to Tottenham and a draw or loss to Everton away. So as long as we keep up the good away performances Im happy with us getting the odd strange result.
