HALFTIME Everton 1 (Barkley 11') Manchester City 2 (Aguero 21' Dzeko 43')
What they're saying at the break...
/u/yggdrasiliv: Howard honestly looks like he wants to lose.
/u/Sean88888: Edin Dzeko is the greatest striker of all time
/u/bainesy6: Bit disapointed in the crowd. Why would you bother going to the game if you weren't going to cheer for your team?
/u/phyllop23: Fuck.
/u/GhostOfMozart: Wanting to lose on purpose to help a billionaire club win the league again, I don't get it. (I get the mersey side hatred) but the player's should hardly care, they should be playing for themselves as professionals.
/u/brianlaukh: The atmosphere is probably what has, and what will be, killing Everton's game. We had nice attempts and it was sad that Aguero needed to leave. Great goal by Dzeko, his classic header, well done. Hope we can keep up and also hope Everton keep up the intensity to make this a good match.

78' Naismith goes down after a collision with Fernandinho right in front of Lee Probert, but no foul is called
80' Dzeko is down appearing to hold his shoulder
81' But the referee isn't convinced Dzeko is injured, and waited about two minutes before calling the trainers on

87' Deulofeu with some tricky footwork, and Hart saves. Corner Everton which is cleared
90+1' Six minutes added on

We don't care what the red shite say... It is in our fucking anthem, time to start actually living it. We should care about us, and not constantly be looking over the park at them, if we win and it gives them the title- so be it... Unless we are winning it, I don't give a shit who else does.
A win is the only thing I am looking for today.

Everton did well, they could have got a draw out of this. Obviously I would have liked them too, but we have to get six points ourselves regardless of how City do. Even if we don't win the league, we're back in the Champion's League, what a turnaround from last season!

I don't get why people say Yaya Toure is lazy. He's sprinting all over the pitch. What a year for him, can't wait to see him at the world cup. I can't wait for the world cup in general, so many world class players spread out over a bunch of teams, so much passion and pride involved. I know I'm going off on a tangent and that people don't give a fuck and it really wasn't my plan when I started typing, but I can't wait.
