The game against Swansea (the Swans of course) wasn't on anywhere yesterday, and I was so busy with other stuff, I didn't even check the score until well after the final whistle. Of course the Toffees got a great away win after goals from Baines (of course a free kick) and Jelavic. A solid win on the road and it moves us up to a tie for 8th place with Sunderland (although we are down 7 on goal difference). I think Everton are undefeated this year in games I don't watch. But don't think for a minute I won't be watching the FA Cup on Tuesday!
Twitter has been such a useful tool to quench my soccer thirsts, whether it be posting this blog, following great soccer writers like Grant Wahl and Leander Schelackens, reading other blogs, or, what I love the most, following the Everton players. I'm sure many other teams have players on Twitter, but I can't imagine that any team has guys that show the same candor, compassion, and humor as the Toffees. With Tim Cahill, Sylvain Distain, Phil Neville, Stephen Pienaar, Louis Saha, and Landon Donovan all exchanging tweets back and forth, it provides for some laughs and entertainment. We wouldn't see this in America from Lebron James or Eli Manning, as the media would jump on them for any little joke made. Just another reason why I love EFC and the EPL. Up the Toffees, hopefully to an FA Cup semi-final v. Liverpool!
