Fair play Everton, hope they can take fourth place now. Would love to see Champions League football in Goodison and Anfield next season.

everton wont even go into the group stages

Martinez is tactically outwitting Wenger in this game.

Great stuff from Everton tbh. They are a team with a new lease of life this season

Turtwig

Everton have the harder end games run in though. Arsenal's is comparatively easier.

An Arsenal attack comes back out to the midfield, and results in a yellow card from Flamini. Now he's gone for two vital games. This is the shít that happens when you are missing a full midfield and half of your starting defense.

What makes it worse is we'll probably let him go in the summer.

Straight swap for Julian Schieber on the cards.

Flamini out for the semi.

Great.

Day just keeps getting better and better.

Evertons run in is MUCH tougher than Arsenals - indeed todays game is the only one that could have posed real bother.

Eh, Arsenal should have lost to Swansea at home last week.

There is no game right now that Arsenal couldn't lose

Like Swansea at home was easy?

The way Arsenal are playing here, no game is going to be easy.

Is this the swansea team than needed a 90th minute OG to get a point?

Fair point. Things may be different though if they have Rambo and Ozil back?

Everton are in form though. Arsenal are collapsing

It's the Swansea team that were robbed by the referee in the last minute

Everton - Sunderland (A), Palace (H), Man United (H), Southampton (A), Man City (H), Hull (A)

Arsenal - West Ham (H), Hull (A), Newcastle (H), West Brom (H), Norwich (A)

goal difference obviously getting better for everton today too.

Sagna best Arsenal player by far.

Mr.Micro

Absolutely pathetic arsenal. So disappointing, after all the promise. We don't deserve CL.

Arsenal have Rambo and Ozil to come back.

Everton still have city and a resurgent utd.

Ramsey is a quality player but is lacking match practice so expecting him to be a game changer, straight away, is asking a lot.

I can't see Arsenal dropping points in any of those games bar possibly Hull away and that's being optimistic.

If we get champions league we deserve it if we don't we don't

It's as simple as that.

Paully D

Agree 100% with Redknapp on the interfering with play stuff. That rule really needs to be changed. It's not fair at all on goalkeepers.

This implosion from Arsenal has been shocking tbh.

They look such a poor, poor side. To think they could have been 1-2 January signings away from possible league winners.

Pretty tough run in for Everton. Arsenal could win all their remaining games even though they are spluttering badly at the moment.

Vinz Mesrine

Mon the toffees, good result so far for Liverpool.

greendom

I only caught the last 15 minutes but twice I saw Metersacker in the final 3rd trying to thread balls through the Everton defence. Failing both times and then using his pace ! to get back into position. CUT IT OUT !!

Gavlor

Come on blues, more of the same

Gavlor

Everton are still in the changing room

Quazzie

What da fuk took Podolski so long to try get the cross in.

Not become a match winner but he'd definitely make Arsenal be more coherent in midfield. Right now it's a stuttered Arsenal.

AdamD

Nobody even willing to take the responsibility of crossing the ball

Hercule Poirot

Mirallas you crazy ba5tard!!

Want them still to be in the running for when they face City. Could turn things big time that match!!

Everton trying to make a game of this! :pac:

Right I'd take a draw now I suppose.

GavRedKing

Everton doing their best to get Arsenal back into the game.

WHAT THE F$CKING F$CK EVERTON

Good pressing from Arsenal

Turtwig

Everton playing with one leg tied behind their back.

When under instructions not to hoof the ball aimlessly away when under pressure then situations like the Stones and Mirallas ones are always likely to happen. One of the negatives of playing such a style.

Was that a yellow for McCarthy?

Oh. I thought I seen the ref with the card in his hand, but didn't see it given so was confused,
