- .... and Phil Neville too

- the 2-0 win over West Ham kept up our great recent record against the Hammers
- we now have a 7-4-0 record against them in our last 11 meetings, home and away

- the win also maintained our fine record in Goodison Park finales
- we've now won all of our last 7 final home League games of the season
- and we're 8-1-0 in the last 9 seasons

- we'll also now finish the season with 42 points gained at home (from a 12-6-1 record)
- that's our best return since 1989/90 when we picked up 45 (14-3-2)

- the 1 home League defeat we suffered this time round was our best since 1986/87
- we've only once gone through a League season undefeated at home - in our 1962/63 title-winning campaign

- you can see how all of our previous seasons compare by clicking here

- the win over West Ham also meant, of course, that we'll now finish above Liverpool for 2 seasons running
- the last time that happened was in 1962/63 when we won the League and they came 8th
- the previous season we'd finished 8th and they'd won the old 2nd Division

- the last time it happened when both teams were in the same division was way back in 1936/37
- we finished 17th in Division One and they finished 18th
- the season before it had been 16th for us and 19th for them

- our latest home League win means that we now have a 9 match unbeaten run going in the Prem at Goodison
- that's a 7-2-0 record

- in fact we've now won 6 consecutive home Premier League games
- the most we've won on the run at home in the Prem is 7 - from 28 December 2009 to 20 March 2010

- we've also now kept 3 clean sheets on the run, home and away
- and at home it's 5 in succession in the Premier League
- that equals our best ever such run - last achieved from 23 November 1998 to 9 January 1999

- against West Ham, Tim Howard made his 309th start for Everton in all competitions
- he's now 26th on our All-Time Starts list
- Leon Osman is 28th on that same list with 307 Everton starts

- Ossie himself was making his 284th League appearance for the club - 243 starts and 31 as a sub
- he's now joint 24th (with early 1900's half-back Harry Makepeace) on our All-Time League Appearances chart
- Tim Howard and Tony Hibbert are joint 33rd (with Johnny Morrissey) on 259 Everton League appearances

- talking of Tony Hibbert ... firstly, welcome back! It was his first appearance since 1st December
- Hibbo has now made 29 substitute appearances for us in all matches
- he's equal 20th on our All-Time Sub Apperances list

- it was also his 315th appearance for the club in all competitions - 286 as a starter plus the 29 as a sub
- that puts him in 25th place on our All-Time Appearances chart
- Leon Osman is in 21st place on that same list with 345 Everton appearances
- and Tim Howard is joint 28th with Roger Kenyon on 309

- and of course in all those appearances Hibbo still hasn't scored a goal! (Shoooooot!!)
- see how this miserable (yet thrilling) record compares ...
- ... in the imaginatively entitled Most Everton Appearances Without Scoring section

- Tony's latest appearance means that his Everton playing career now spans 12 years and 42 days
- that makes him the 16th longest-serving Everton player ever
- have a look at the other long-lasting Evertonians in the Longest Everton Playing Careers section

- and so on to the final match of the season at Chelsea on May 19th

- we've played three times on that date before in the past
- twice against Sunderland and once in the FA Cup Final

- the Final was our 2-0 triumph over Watford, back in 1984
- the last May 19 outing was this draw with the Mackems in 2001

- against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge we have a truly shocking recent record
- we haven't won there in 21 visits in all competitions - a 0-10-11 run
- our last away victory came courtesy of a Paul Rideout goal over 18 years ago!

- last season's trip ended in a 3-1 defeat
- with Apostolos Vellios nabbing our consolation goal 18 seconds after coming on as a sub!

- the game at Chelsea will be David Moyes' 518th and last match as Everton manager
- (not easy to type those words, to be honest)

- only Harry Catterick and Howard Kendall have managed us for longer
- only Catterick in a single managerial spell

- you can see how Davy's record compares in the Managers' Records section
- a defeat would be his 161st as Everton boss - exactly the same number that Harry Catterick lost

- a win, on the other hand, would be the 600th away from home in our League history
- and it would take us to 66 League points this season
- that would be our best total since 1987/88 when we managed 70 (from 40 games, 2 more than this season)
- 2 goals at the Bridge would bring up 6,700 home and away in our top flight history .....

- ever wondered who has scored the most goals against Everton?
- well wonder no more!
