Everton 3, Swansea 1, Pie 2


An excellent afternoon watching the Toffees overcome the Swans in the FA Cup on a sunny but cold day at Goodison. The match was preceded by a minutes silence for the late Sir Tom Finney. A laboured performance overall by Everton which started incredibly well, with new loan signing Lancia Delta (Lacina Traore), scoring with a deft back heeled flick in under 4 mins.

Swansea equalised fairly soon after that and it became difficult for Everton from then on. Silly errors and giving the ball away cheaply followed until the second half introduction of Osman and Naismith whose presence led to two more goals to win in a less then convincing style.

To celebrate, a belated lunch was taken with Steak Pukka Pie from a local chippy and excellent it was, easily outperforming Swansea by a long way. Bring on the Gooners.

Chinese New Year celebrations in Liverpool with parades, dragons, wibbly worms, firecrackers, smiles, fortune cookies, dad dancing and some food !! An excellent time at the Chinatown festivities. Lots of people , music, colour, rides sights and sounds on a weather blessed day, brilliant.

Food was a bit of a scrum and a bit pricey compared to our last visit but we did find a new place for coffee and cake in town ...nosh and coffee. Bit of a shop for the ladies but not too demanding, before home and a cascade of chocolate mmmmm. No pie was consumed but we still had a ggod time.
