Derby build up

I'm a fairly pessimistic Evertonian, so my reaction to The Shite's humbling in Hungary is grounded by the expectation that they'll now knock us out of Europe via a dodgy pen. I also approach most derby games with fear, trepidation, and a general feeling of "can't we just get it over with". But then I remember Cahill's piley uppy, AJ's three fingered salute, and that Gosling winner, and get excited. And then I remember Hutchison's disallowed winner, The Clattenberg derby, and the general nastiness between the fans that underpins recent games.

I expect Moyes to stick to one up front, which means the match will be determined by how well Jack Rodwell and Johnny Heitinga do in the middle (and indeed how long Hietinga stays on the pitch for). Having Pienaar available will be a huge plus because frankly him and Arteta are our only creative threats. Between Saha and Yakubu we have a genuine goal threat, and although Fellaini and Cahill are anonymous when they play together, both are potential match winners. We all know they're there for the taking, but then again that's precisely when they seem to step up a gear.

So, in the interests of banter, here's a couple of things that made me chuckle:

Finallly, at least The Fonz will be there:
