Sleep Therapy

I dreamed a dream.

The dream involved just FOUR little things happening this season that didn't happen.

It changed everything.

23/8/09
Burnley v Everton
Everton are toiling 1-0 down against a very average Burnley side still buoyed by a win over Manchester United earlier in the week. Hibbert goes over and Phil Dowd awards a dubious penalty. Saha scores sending Jensen the wrong way. The game finished 1-1.
Everton +1 point Burnley -1 point20/12/09
Everton v Birmingham
At 1-0 up, Everton are comfortable and Louis Saha springs the offside trap to make it 2-0. Birmingham pull one back but it's not enough.
Everton +2 points Birmingham -1 point

6/2/10
Liverpool v Everton
With Liverpool down to ten men, Tim Cahill buries a trademark header from six yards at the Anfield Road end just before half time. Liverpool fluke one back later in the game to make it 1-1.
Everton +1 point Liverpool -2 points

28/2/10
Spurs v Everton
In the second half, it's 2-1 to Spurs and Everton are completely on top. A tremendous ball from Rodwell finds Landon Donovan at the far post who calmly slots home to make it 2-2. Everton +1 point Spurs -2 points

Four things that have this impact.

Everton +5
Burnley -1
Birmingham -1
Redshite -2
Spurs -2

The revised league table puts us on level points with the Gobshites with a game in hand. Even more tellingly, only 3 points away from 4th spot.

The finest margins. Live the dream people.
