Ian Snodin: After the weekend's results, bring on the Merseyside derby!
Tim Cahill celebrates victory at Birmingham[LNB]WHAT a weekend! Everton became the first team to win at Birmingham for more than a year, the Blues won Battle of the Mersey on my lunchtime radio show, Europe claimed the Ryder Cup...and Blackpool made sure those smiles grew even wider on Sunday afternoon![LNB]You can't under-estimate how important that victory was at St Andrew's.[LNB]People might say 'It was only Birmingham' but as many teams have discovered in the past 12 months it's a very, very difficult place to go and win.[LNB]Everton did that - and thoroughly deserved all three points - and you have to give huge credit to the travelling Everton fans as well.[LNB] There were more than 4,000 of them down in the Midlands - which for a team rock bottom of the table is a remarkable testament to their loyalty - and they got behind the team tremendously.[LNB]They were rewarded by the Blues collecting all three points on an afternoon when one might have been considered a good outcome.[LNB]The result also lifts spirits massively ahead of the derby match in a fortnight.
