Stupid Bar Codes moment – they are losing 3-1 to Liverpool. I don’t know why I like them losing to Liverpool so much, because I hate Liverpool.

1st Half

GAME ON! (Wayne’s World Reference)

Since all the streams are behind, I’m relying on the team’s site for information on the match. It looks like so far, that the Black Cats have had no issue getting a shot on.

Damit 10 mins: Goal Everton 1 Sunderland 0 Arteta blasts a free-kick through the wall and past Fulop. It is a soft goal. The sun is shining is Fulop’s eyes. Damn,damn damn.

That didn’t take long, ugh. Conceding goals isn’t the way to win. I’m sure the boo birds, and the naysayers will be crowing. They, just need to shut up. We’re a midtable team, and that should be our bottom level.

Though, it does seem like we can get our shots on goal, just not finish them. Poo.

26 mins: Goal. Everton 2 Sunderland 0 Arteta’s free-kick hits the wall. It comes back and Arteta’s volley comes off Tainio and goes in, sending Fulop the rong way. Aw, crap.

Come on lads let’s stop this. The first thirty minutes haven’t been fun. They need to man up, and get back in this match. Cisse and Jones are two very good strikers, and need to start showing why they are. Maybe it was good that I couldn’t find a stream of the match.

Can this half end fast? Please?

Ok, phew, it’s over. Everton has shown their class and Sunderland haven’t made it hard for them.

2nd Half

Let’s hope that Ricky was able to talk some sense into the lads at half. We need this win. Maybe he’s also lit into the lads about not marking Arteta.

Well, looking at the match center, it’s like no one is marking him. Ugh. Stop this pain. Once again it’s a good thing that I can’t watch this live.

I almost want to give up on this match, but you my readers need these blogs. So I’ll stick it out with you guys. Yup, it looks like the lads aren’t going to win today. Oh well.

Lets just hope in the remaining 20 minutes, that Sunderland can put some shots on goal and get lucky.

Ricky has put in Healy and Yorke in, maybe, just maybe they can get the lads moving.

82 mins: Goal. Everton 3 Sunderland 0 Lescott has plenty of time to put a low ball into the box and Gosling scores from six yards.

The fat lady is signing, the game is over. No man of the match for us, no one played like they belong in the Premier League.
