It took an easy victory for Everton at Carlisle to limit the damage last week although there were times during the afternoon when I thought the draws might pay off. In the end Liverpool and West Ham played out a … Read More »

It was a pity to blow out last week after virtually sweeping the board the week before. Of course, Gillingham and Peterborough both scoring limited the damage but Everton were expensive losers. When playing at a short price it is … Read More »
