A 7:30 AM start is early enough, but even more so on New Year's Day. For me it meant checking my iFooty app around 10 AM, waiting for the score to pop up, knowing, almost expecting, a disappointing result. Everton are notorious for playing poorly against the weaker teams and hanging tough when going up against the title contenders. This is something you figure out quickly when following the Toffees. So as my phone loaded the score, I had little hope. But then, Big Vic comes through! Everton 1 WBA 0, courtesy of (recently) little used power forward Victor Anchebe. In reading the twitter and EPL site recaps, it was an ugly contest, but three points is three points.
So it's on to another mid week test, this one against Bolton. The big news of course is Landon Donovan, US star, will be back in Blue for EFC, and almost certainly see lots of action. To be honest, Donovan and Tim Howard are two of the main reasons I love Everton. It's fun to support a team and your national players at the same time. Hopefully the Toffees can keep it rolling in 2012.
