Poor again from Downing.

1 home league win this year and that against Burnley.

No chance of winning this one now.

Everton haven't beaten us in 8 league games. Stats are fun.

Everton players made of glass, they love falling over.

Everton are just fortunate the referee missed Cahill's shirt pull to get ahead of his man to score, and the free kick before that Warnock won the ball.

In fairness you've got to put it down to a good save sometimes.

Howard's kept this at 1-0

Clear foul by Baines on Young - this referee is infuriating.

Wasn't a free kick in the first place but it was poor defending.

Warnock won the ball there. Urgh.

Downing playing well

Poor decisions from Atkinson here. Some blatant fouls getting away with.

Nice open game here. Good save Brad.

Lovely stuff lads

Cahill getting away with more fouls here

Good shot Downing

Milner was fouled by Cahill

Young and Carew to score tonight.

If we play like we did in the first half against Chelsea and create some chances we'll win.

Not sure if anyone's seen this

Amazing day for Portsmouth

How Terry tries to argue with the referee about the yellow and Townsend defending the tackle is awful. Deco's challenge on Stan warranted a second yellow.

For the second time in a fortnight Chelsea defeated Aston Villa by a margin that hardly reflected the balance of play. Two weeks ago it was a flurry of late goals that brought about Villa's biggest ever Premier League defeat by 7-1. This time there were two in the last few minutes by Florent Malouda and Frank Lampard to distort the scoreline after Didier Drogba's 32nd goal of the season had put the holders in front with three-quarters of the game played.

Before that Villa, 20 points behind in the League table, showed no sign of inferiority or psychological damage and were the better side early on, when they were harshly denied a penalty. But overall they did not create enough scoring chances and were unable to gainsay John Terry's suggestion that they tend to fade late on.

Martin O'Neill must now attempt to ensure that the same does not apply to their season as a whole again – they play Everton on Wednesday – while Chelsea, through to their third final in four years, retain hopes of a first League and Cup double.

Independent sum my feelings in the first two paragraphs.

From another angle he gets nowhere near the ball

It's a joke it took Mikel 80+ minutes to get booked also, it wasn't the major decisions Webb got wrong, it was the fact he never allowed for an even playing field. By allowing Chelsea players room to get away with so many fouls.

There was even an argument that a third Chelsea player could have been dismissed. After Terry had implanted his studs on Milner's calf, Webb waved play on as Stiliyan Petrov had possession. Deco pulled him back. Now Webb halted play and Terry saw a yellow card. Webb should then have booked Deco; play was live when the Portuguese fouled Petrov as Webb had allowed the advantage. Deco had already been cautioned and would have been dismissed.
