    Funny to see how Mourinho, after harping on that his team scored two goals and deserved the win, completely dodged the question when posed did he think Terry's handball should have been a penalty.

    And the throw-in given to Lampard before he scored was definitely foul.

    Well at the end of the day the Everton/Chelsea match was probably one of the best matches of the season so far. First time I've enjoyed watching a Premiership match since last season.

    It was a foul throw. And, he meant to throw it to makalele, who ran into the ref so the ball rolled through to lamps. I really hoped he wouldnt score, in the fantasy football hes killing me! Cant add him to my team, too much.

    Just saw the West Ham "own goal", a ridiculously bad decision, one of the worst you are likely to see this season. Video replays should be brought in a.s.a.p. for goal-line incidents. There is no argument against it.

    Elliot was superb against newcastle...was unlucky not to have a hatrick with a great save from Given, and a lovely chip that came back off the bar...Very promosing, and at this rate could very well be first choice striker by the time we get a new manager (with Clinto second...who scored again..i think that's 9 so far this season?)

    I think its unreal that Ireland have the option of 3 half decent strikers, it just doesn't happen in Irish football :)

    I was disappointed with the chip TBH. It was a nice trick but he should have buried it and got a point for Sunderland. When you're 3-2 down (or maybe it was 2-2 at the stage, not sure), isn't the time to over elaborate.

    If he hit the chip with his left foot he would have scored. :)

    Over-elaborate? Any striker in that situation would have done the exact same thing. Given was stranded and the best route for the ball to go in was over his head...Elliott was just very unlucky that it was an inch too high.
    Elliott seems to have continued his form from back in the Cyprus game, he's looking very sharp and dangerous..and has scored two beauties in the last two games.

    Not to mention Given is probably the best keeper in the world 1-on-1 (thats not just because he is irish!)

    I agree with that. I'd rate him as better than Cech, and I did long before his recent performances.

    Just my personal opinion, he was through on goal and should have scored I thought. Given was stranded and I think he would of been just as stranded if Elliott had rifled the shot into the back of the net, rather than trying the chip.
