DAVID MOYES asked us who we believe – him or Arsene Wenger?

Come on, give us a harder one. I’ve known the Everton manager since he was manager of my team, Preston, and he would not just make things up.

He was asked about the game at Arsenal and gave an honest assessment of the situation, that if Cesc Fabregas had been dealt with for what he said to the fourth official, Arsenal would have been down to 10 men and Everton would have had a much better chance of holding on to their 1-0 half-time lead.

Wenger might have had a point about stuff in the tunnel being broadcast out in the open but we all know this wasn’t the real issue. He wanted to create a smokescreen around his captain – he’s terrified of losing him and won’t upset him by dressing him down in public.

But to go to the extent of accusing Moyes of pretending to hear things? Sorry, not having that.

On a more positive note from Everton’s point of view, Louis Saha’s resurgence has proved just how simple a game football is.

Forget 4-4-2, 4-5-1, different formations, three centre-backs, etc...the fact of the matter is when a team creates chances it needs someone in the box who is going to take them.

And when you play Blackpool they do give you lots of chances.

But Everton have been lacking that finishing power for most of the season, and the fact that Saha’s purple patch includes goal against Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea shows he is firing on all cylinders once again.

I think Moyes is due a bit of luck this season – and Saha staying free of injury for the rest of the campaign would do very nicely.
