A Bit Of "After The Lord Mayor's Show" About The
Performance At Wigan .....
- ..... but it's 5 matches unbeaten
now and only 2 defeats in our last 12 games
- so things are gradually looking up
- Victor Anichebe's leveller was his 10th Premier League goal
for us
- that puts him joint 27th with a whole host of others on our
all-time
Prem scorers' list
- in all competitions it was his 16th Everton goal
- and 10 of those have come in substitute apppearances
- that makes him the first EFC player to reach double figures
in goals scored from the bench
- joint second on that list are Duncan Ferguson and Adrian Heath
with 8 apiece
- Vic is also now our equal top scorer this season
- he's joint top with Baines, Osman and Vellios on 3 in the Premier
League
- and level with Leighton Baines on 4 in all competitions
- it's not a high total is it?!
- in fact it's slightly reminiscent of 2001/02
- then our top League scorers ended up being Big Dunc and Tomasz
Radzinski with just 6 each
- Ferguson came out on top in all games with a paltry 8
- click
here to see a summary of all our previous seasons
- Anichebe's successful introduction was his 61st Premier League
sub appearance
- and his 81st for us in all competitions
- that puts him just one behind Duncan Ferguson on our all-time
sub appearances list
- Nikica Jelavic, on the other hand, was making his first appearance
for us
- he becomes the 847th player to play for us in all competitions
- and the 830th in the League and the 171st in the Premier League
- congratulations to him!
- and welcome back Steven Pienaar!
- he is the 31st player to turn out for Everton in 2 different
spells
- the others are (deep breath)
- Angell, Beagrie, Bell, Corrin, Crelley, Curran, Donnachie, Donovan,
Ferguson, Fernandes, Gault,
- Gravesen, Harper, Hickson, Howard-Baker, Jeffers, Jô, Johnson,
Kelso, Kendall, King, McFadden,

Weller,
- Tony Hibbert's never been anywhere but Everton
- he made his 240th Premier League appearance for us against Wigan
- 222 starts and 18 as a sub
- that puts him on his own in 2nd place on our all-time
Prem appearances list
- in all competitions Hibbo has now made 294 appearances for us
(269+25)
- that moves him up to 35th place on our all-time
appearances list
- Phil Neville is joint 51st, with John Ebbrell, on the same list
with 265 appearances
- and Hibbo's 222 Prem starts mean he's now just 1 behind David
Weir in 3rd place on our all-time
Prem starts list
- Leighton Baines's latest appearance for us was his 99th in succession
in all competitions
- that's the 13th longest run of consecutive appearances in our
history

from 1987 to 1993 in our full League history

- and so on to Chelsea at home on February 11th
- our last match on that date was this
eventful win over Blackburn in 2006
- it'll be our 80th home match against Chelsea in all competitions
- and our 40th against them, home and away, in the Premier League
- our recent record is pretty good
- we're 2-4-2 in our last 8 meetings in all competitions, home
and away
- and 2-4-1 in our last 7 in the Premier League
- at Goodison, we've won on both of their last 2 visits
- remember
last season's win, courtesy of Jermaine Beckford's wonder
goal?
- 1 goal this time round would be our 150th against them at home
in League games
- 2 goals for us would bring up 950 in our total Premier League
history against all clubs
- 1 goal conceded, on the other hand, would be 100 for Chelsea
in all games against us at Goodison
- and a defeat would be our
150th under David Moyes against all clubs in all competitons
