Ashes update
First Test
England do really well and could have gotten them our for less that the 290 odd they actually scored on a good batting wicket.
England's reply, was going well at 60 odd for 1 THEN

The Score
Australia 295 & 401-7 dec v England 136 & 24-2 - England need another 537 runs to win

England were supposed to whitewash them!!

Free kick chance for Everton.. shame Baines isn't on


A bit far out...Lukaku with a deflected shot saved but Everton tie it up!!

9:16 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Chunk hit a free kick that was deflected toward Mignolet who saved. Everton worked it again through Mirallas and he made no mistake with his second effort.

Six goals now for The Chunk - get another two!

YES!!!

LUKAKU SCORES A BULLET OF A HEADER!!
Good to have the Prem back!!!

9:26 AM

Great corner over and The Chunk towered above all the rest to power the header past Sturridge on the post.

9:27 AM

One more goal now and he'd be level with Aguero and Sturridge as GBB. Come on - hat-trick time, my boy!

Could Southampton be top of the table by the end of the day!!!

We've got Boro at home, by the way. Should be able to get something out of that.

GREAT MATCH

Nice moment there between The Chunk and Sturridge.

10:00 AM

GOAL! Loic Remy nods home from a Cabaye corner after some tragic Norwich defending. They'll go down if they keep that up.

1-0!
