Jesus, 3-0 now!
I couldn't hear the commentator over the boos at Goodison just then.

Three goals in four minutes. That's got to be some sort of record.

Totally moved by Dave Whelan interview in The Guardian today.
(After talking about breaking his leg in the 1960 FA Cup Final, and how it took over two years to rehabilitate himself).
"As the opening match to every season Blackburn used to play Preston in a practice game," Whelan explains. "I was put back in for this match at Deepdale and who should I be playing against but Tom Finney. My first match back after two and a half years and I've got probably the finest right-winger there has ever been. And Tom Finney is the perfect gentleman. He never took me on at all. I took the ball off him three times in the first half and when we were coming off I went to him and said: 'Tom, you're not taking me on.'
"I'd played against him before and I knew how good he was, a phenomenal footballer. He said: 'You've had some bad luck son, and I'm not going to take you on, I want you to get through today's game and get back into the first team.' I'll never forget him saying that to me. He was and still is a total gentleman."
Utter class.
I have always regarded Sir Tom Finney as a hero - although I never saw him play as he was before my time. This snippet goes some way to explaining why.

The last two were great finishes.
If they do go out I'm not sure how much longer Moyes will stick around. How much further can he take them?

Yep. If there's anyone left in the ground that is. Pictures of Everton fans leaving when the third goal went in. Classy bunch.

I went to make a bacon sarnie at 0-0, came back and it was 0-3.

Switched on at 27 minutes. BOOM. All good goals from Wigan. The 3rd one was lovely. Everton have been defensively lazy. I just hope this won't interfere with Wigan's annual escape from relegation. I like 'em.
Everton fans - oh dear.

But you did get a bacon sarnie out of it, so it's not all bad.
