Everton v West Ham live!
90 More responses to Blake's comments come from Daniele: "Hi Alex just a comment a comment to Blake "What game are you watching mate?[LNB]West Ham are playing Everton off the break and Everton are just toying with you" and Rory: "Wow! Here, I almost broke my neck on these toys, can you hand them back to Blake in his pram.[LNB]Most boring team indeed... Way to ride on the late 90's/early 00's stereotype mate..."[LNB]89 Everton fan Ian responds to Blake's comments: "what does blake know, you get what you deserve, we gave you a goal start at your place and won 3-1, we gave you a goal start today, and its 3-1 and could and should be more, you need to take your blinkers off geezer."[LNB]88 Boa Morte is cautioned for bringing down Baines on the edge of the penalty area.[LNB]86 Noble lines up a free-kick from a long wat out but his shot is wayward and out for a goal-kick.[LNB]84 Everton knock the ball around in midfield as the clock ticks down at Goodison Park.[LNB]82 Blake sends in this: "Dowd has ruined this game. West Ham were by far the superior team, and Dowd has effectively ruined the match with that foolish sending-off. Not a conclusive penalty, even after replays. Not a pen, not a red card. Shotty refereeing. [LNB]West Ham do NOT deserve to lose this game. Not to mention Everton are one of the more boring teams in the Prem." The decision to send off Tomkins certainly did look a little harsh.[LNB]79 Saha is replaced by Jo and James Vaughan is on for Cahill.[LNB]77 Robert Green makes two fantastic saves. Saha should have had a hat-trick but Green makes a stop when one-on-one before Cahill's header was clawed clear via the crossbar.[LNB]75 GOAL - SAHA! Pienaar sells Spector a brilliant dummy and rolls the ball across goal to Saha, who has a simple tap-in from about two yards. Surely that's it.[LNB]73 The Toffees will desperately want a third to put this one to bed as West Ham are looking dangerous with Cole and Stanislas.[LNB]72 Stanislas comes forward and fires in a low shot that Howard can't hold on to. Cole almost reaches the rebound but the goalkeeper manages to clean-up.[LNB]71 Everton get the game back under their control and Baines manages to win a corner. Pienaar's cross is headed clear by Upson.[LNB]68 Junior Stanislas is on to replace goalscorer Kovac and Jack Rodwell replaces Fellani for Everton.[LNB]66 Cole is almost gifted a goal as Howard has a mix-up with Yobo but the American keeper holds onto the ball, just.[LNB]65 Boa Morte should have drawn West Ham level. He was played clean through by Cole but his tame shot was right into Howard's arms.[LNB]64 Cole is causing some problems for the Everton defence. He certainly is a much greater physical presence than either Di Michele or Tristan.[LNB]63 Pienaar sends a ball across goal but no Everton player can get on the end of it and West Ham manage to escape.[LNB]61 Saha's shot is wide of the mark again.[LNB]61 West Ham still look as though they can score. They rarely come forward but when they do they create chances.[LNB]59 West Ham are furiously appealing for a handball in the penalty area. Upson's header cannoned against Cahill's arm but the Australian had his back to the ball at the time.[LNB]58 Pienaar is on target with the free-kick but Green is equal to it and makes the catch.[LNB]57 Spector is booked after the defender has a word too many with the referee after fouling Pienaar.[LNB]55 Upson rises in the Everton box and has a free header. He directs it straight at Tim Howard though. That was a chance for West Ham.[LNB]53 Baines crosses and Cahill manages to get a head on it but it's too high for him and he can't direct it goalwards.[LNB]51 Lucas Neill concedes a free-kick on the edge of the box. Saha strikes it but it flies over the bar.[LNB]50 Everton are all over West Ham at the moment. Saha had a chance for a second but could not connect cleanly with his header. After another corner Green eventually clears.[LNB]48 GOAL- YOBO! Everton have a corner at the start of the second-half. Pienaar floats the ball across and it falls to the feet of Yobo. The Nigerian fires it through a crowded six-yard box and into the net. It will be almost almost impossible for the Hammers to come back now.[LNB]46 Cole is obviously being employed as a lone striker while Spector will bolster the defence.[LNB]45 Kick-off! The second-half is underway.[LNB] Double Substitution for West Ham. Jonathan Spector and Carloton Cole are joining the action in place of strike partners Di Michele and Tristan.[LNB] Mike in New Zealand sends in his supports for the home side: "Great way to follow Everton during a long night shift in New Zealand....go the blues."[LNB]45+1 Half-time! It's one goal each at the break at Goodison Park. Everton have had most of the possession and should be confident of getting a second. West Ham took the lead with a thunderbolt from Radoslav Kovac but will be satisfied to hold on to a point now Tomkins has been sent-off.[LNB]45 Saha tries to grab a second with a left-footed strike but it sails overs. Noble gave the ball away and Fellani created the opening.[LNB]44 West Ham will be pleased to head into half-time on level terms as the hosts bear down on goal again.[LNB]42 Baines tries to curl a free-kick goalwards but it hits the wall and is cleared.[LNB]40 Everton continue to press with Fellani finding is way into the box but losing control.[LNB]38 GOAL - SAHA! Louis Saha steps up and sends Green the wrong way, burying the ball in the bottom right-hand corner. It's all square and Everton must be the favourites now.[LNB]37 Everton have a penalty and West Ham are down to ten-men. Cahill burst into the box and was tripped by Tomkins. He prevented a clear goalscoring opportunity but the sending off may have been slightly harsh.[LNB]36 Fellani fires in a long-range attempt but it is far too high and ends up in the stands.[LNB]34 The visitors are looking quite dangerous in the final thrid despite conceding the majority of the possession.[LNB]32 Baines whips in another great ball but Kovac prevents a blue shirt from connecting with it and the resulting corner comes to nothing.[LNB]31 Di Michele is clean through but he picked up the ball in an offside position. His shot was saved by Howard in any case.[LNB]29 Tristan intercepts a poor pass from Yobo and has a chance to put his side two goals up. The Spaniard pulls his shot wide of the post though.[LNB]28 Everton continue to have more of the possession (almost all of it) but can't seem to fashion a chance.[LNB]25 The away fans make their voices heard with a rendition of "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles".[LNB]24 GOAL - KOVAC! West Ham take the lead against the run of play. Kovac picked up the ball about 35 yards out and Everton failed to close him down. The Czech player decided to take a shot and blasted a rocket past Tim Howard.[LNB]22 Great cross from Baines but Matthew Upson manges to get his head to the ball before Fellani.[LNB]21 Pienaar tries to create another chance but slips as he cuts in from the left and the visitors easily clear the danger.[LNB]19 Osman has a better effort for Everton from around the same distance but Robert Green pats the ball down before picking it up and clearing.[LNB]18 Tristan spoons a left-foot shot into the fans behind the goal from the edge of the area.[LNB]17 West Ham almost take advantage as the Everton defence falls asleep and Diego Tristan finds himself one-on-one with Tim Howard. But his first touch is poor and Howard gathers.[LNB]16 The home side are dominating the game at the moment. Pienaar is always in space on the left and Fellani is a big presence in the air.[LNB]13 Fellani nods down a ball from Lars Jacobsen. Leon Osman runs onto it but he scuffs his shot and doesn't hit the target. That was the best chance so far.[LNB]12 Stewart in Spain messages in with a prediction: "Everton will beat West Ham 2-1 at Goodison Park this afternoon with Goals from Louis Saha & Tim Cahill."[LNB]11 Steven Pienaar cuts inside and finds himself in space. He lets fly with a vicious shot that beats Robert Green but just flashes wide.[LNB]10 Pienaar again creates space for himself down the left and rolls a ball across to Saha. The Frenchman tries a low shot from the edge of the area but it skids passed the post.[LNB]8 The hosts are channelling most of their play down the left with Pienaar and Baines linking up very well on the wing.[LNB]6 Everton are looking the more dangerous of the two sides and Baines makes another forward run. He goes down on the edge of the area but Phil Dowd waves away appeals for a free-kick.[LNB]5 Boa Morte attempts to play through Di Michele but his pass is well overhit and Howard picks up the ball again.[LNB]4 Steven Pienaar plays in full-back Leighton Baines but his cut back can't find Louis Saha and West Ham clear.[LNB]2 Rodoslav Kovac plays a long ball through looking for Di Michele but Howard comes out early and easily gathers the ball.[LNB]0 Everton press forward early but Cahill concedes a free-kick on the edge of the West Ham box.[LNB]0 Kick-off! The game is underway at Goodison Park.[LNB] We are almost ready for kick-off as the two captains meet in the centre-circle.[LNB] Z-Cars echoes around Goodison Park as the teams take to the pitch for Everton's final home game of the season.[LNB] Jagielka is being given a rapturous reception by the home fans, most of whom have now made it inside the ground.[LNB] Phil Jagielka, walking onto the pitch on crutches, has just been awarded Everton's player of the year award.[LNB] We are 10 minutes away from kick-off but Goodison Park is still quite empty. Many of the home fans must be watching Merseyside rivals Liverpool's slim hopes of winning the title slip away as Manchester United draw with Arsenal.[LNB] If anyone has any views or predictions on this game send me an e-mail at alex.williams@bskyb.com and I'll post a selection.[LNB] So, Everton have secured a Europa League spot but will be aiming for fifth place. West Ham are also in European contention and can move into the all-important seventh place if they win and other results go their way.[LNB] The home side are comfortable favourites for this match over at SkyBet with odds of 8/11 while West Ham are the outsiders at 4/1. A draw is 5/2.[LNB] The teams are in ahead of today's match between Everton and West Ham at Goodison Park.[LNB]Everton: Howard, Jacobsen, Yobo, Lescott, Baines, Osman, Neville, Cahill, Pienaar, Fellaini, Saha.
