Barkley coming on. We're going to regret those missed chances now aren't we

Oooooh. off the post.

Close free kick from Bertrand.

Had to be a yellow for Gibson. Long was away otherwise. Could even have been a red.

Decent effort from Mane.

Fonte injured. Yoshida coming on.

Need to switch him to the left IMO. His crossing with his right foot is awful. Always too deep and lofty for anybody to do anything with.

Oviedo struggling now. And he's already their reserve left back with Baines out injured. Could help our cause if he has to go off.

Not far away from Tadic there. Good build up and close.

Everton look very shaky at the back here.

Long looked onside to me there.

Terrible, terrible atmosphere in the ground. Hardly surprising, given their poor home form this season. We need to take advantage and get the crowd on their backs early on here. Wanyama down injured.

This comes across as a classic case of a journo asking a leading question, and trying to sensationalise the response. Given the amount of players who have left over the last two summers, and the fact that pundits and commentators still can't stop banging on about it, we have to expect this kind of thing in the run-up to the transfer window I guess.

Yep. One match suspension. Who is Martinez going to pick instead?

Jesus f*cking Christ! Do you lot have even the slightest idea how childish and pathetic you look to everybody reading this? "Your party did this, so they must be really nasty" "Yeah, but your party did this, so they must be even nastierer! Nerrr-nerrrr!" Why don't you all get your dads to have a fight and see who is hardest?

What about the fact that he failed to declare his shares in Blairmore on the parliamentary register of interests? Is that not ethically wrong?

I do. For them to win it now would require a spectacular collapse in form from Leicester. And seeing as they have got where they are by being consistent for the whole season, I really can't see that happening. Two more wins from their last 5 would leave Spurs needing to win every one of their remaining games to overtake them.

It's fair to say that Goodison Park, over the last twenty years or so, has been about as lucky for us as SMS/The Dell have been for Newcastle. You could argue we are overdue a win up there, but we will have to earn it with a decent performance. Everton are very inconsistent and have badly under-performed this season. I know a few Everton fans, and there are rumblings of unhappiness in the club with Martinez over his continuous attempts to gloss over their failings and present an 'everything is rosy' image. If they don't win the FA cup (and perhaps even if they do) then I fully expect him to be shown the door at the end of the season, especially with their billionaire investor coming in. I think the key to us getting a win is to get at them early and get the crowd on their backs a bit.

I didn't get to watch the game today, but it sounds like it was a straightforward win against a very poor team. Shame we couldn't make it 4-0 for the third season in a row, but it's nice to finally beat one if the bottom 3 teams at home after the very disappointing performances against Villa and Sunderland. Still only 4 points off Citeh in 4th but with their games in hand I think it's unlikely we will make up that gap now with the fixtures we have got left. Our target now should be to overtake West Ham for 6th to guarantee Europa League next season. Can't see us doing any better than that really.

They got a reprieve for another week after Palace beat Norwich. Not that it makes the slightest difference anyway.

There was a Leicester fan on here the other day who reckoned it was all down to the sports science that was implemented while Pearson was still manager which somehow manages muscular injuries a lot better than how other clubs do it. Obviously though, that doesn't account for impact injuries. So in that respect they have been very lucky.

And given this video clip as well, it's little wonder that nobody has the slightest bit of faith in this Tory government when they say they are getting tough on tax avoidance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qjBec3fpBI

Lets face it, If we're serious about our European ambitions then we simply have to win this game. Anything less than 3 points means we will have failed to beat any of the teams currently in the bottom 3 at home this season.

It gets worse... http://www.thecanary.co/2016/04/05/revealed-british-taxpayers-paying-super-rich-elite-dodge-taxes/ The Panama papers have implicated a division of Coutts which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RBS as being one of the worst offenders for assisting its clients in setting up off-shore shell companies. And as RBS is 73% owned by the taxpayer after its £45bn bailout, this is a double insult because it means our own taxes are being used to finance the deliberate withholding of revenue to HMRC.

So, quite unsurprisingly, the BBC news, or at least the snippet of it I heard on the radio earlier, is glossing over this completely (though of course that has nothing to do with the fact that the head of BBC news is one of George Osbourne's best mates - no sir, not at all!), and is repeating Cameron's claim that this government has taken more steps to address the issue of corporate tax avoidance/evasion than most other countries. I don't profess to be an expert on these matters and I wouldn't know where to look for the information myself, so can anybody summarise exactly what steps they have actually taken? I ask because it all sounds like just another transparent attempt by the Tories to make the public believe the exact opposite of the truth.
