Time to fight our own battles for a change

THE hard work begins now.

I’m not joking. Arsenal and Chelsea were beaten. United and City should have been beaten. It makes dropping points to Sunderland, Swansea and Norwich seem especially careless.

‘There but for the grace of God’ is a phrase even atheists utter sometimes, mostly when they hear awful news like the death of Gary Speed. But reds usually become especially grateful to the Almighty when they witness a slice of Evertonian bitterness.
