Pies pick of the stills from last night's FA Cup third round replay action...
ITV's punditry panel Matt Smith, Gordon Strachan and Ian Wright watch over QPR's game
against the MK Dons from deep within the bowels of their elevated glass fortress at a sparsely
populated Loftus Road

Robbie Findley and Nottingham Forest lost 4-0 to Leicester City in an FA Cup Third Round replay on
Tuesday. Jermaine Beckford had a hat trick for Leicester in front of the home fans at The King
Power Stadium. Forest inadvertently opened the scoring seven minutes in with an own-goal and
Findley missed a shot from close range.
Mirror: Every day at Everton shows why Moyes is such a remarkable boss
The day David Moyes looks for a new challenge away from Goodison Park is the day Everton should
be worried. Until then, Moyes will carry on working miracles with a few slip-ups along the way. And
he is performing miracles.
Let's get right to it:
Back at it in Candyland...
• Everton welcomes Norwich City to it's Really Goodison
The Premiership world was shocked when Everton announced that American Landon Donovan will come
on loan to the Land of Toffee starting January 4th.
Okay, not shocked actually at all except for the fact that Everton actually got a quality player
to help them in a battle with Father Relegation, even if only for two months.
Little introduction needed for tomorrow's match, which marks the 216th Merseyside Derby. Last
season's encounter at Goodison was farcical from a Liverpool perspective, with the hosts dominating
the match and deservedly earning a 2-0 victory that sent the Reds into the bottom three. Thankfully
fortunes have changed, but what's sure to be the same is the fiery temperament that's come to be
associated with the match-up, especially in recent years.
Everton's troubles continue as they were only able to name 18 players, seven short of the
maximum, in their official squad submitted to the Premier League.
However, that 18 does not include Under-21 players, so the likes of Ross Barkley do not feature
but are still eligible to play as clubs can use an unlimited number of younger-age players.
Transfer deadline day deals: The view from the Championship is a post from: Just Football
WHILE the lavish spending of the Premier League's big boys captured most of the limelight on
transfer deadline day, there was also plenty of business done in the second tier. James McMath
looks at some eye-catching signings made by Championship clubs.
New Arsenal signing Mikel Arteta admits he had to seize the chance to quit Everton for a
new challenge and he did not feel he let down his former employers with the manner of his exit.
The Spaniard's late decision to force through a transfer on Wednesday night when the Toffees had
initially turned down a £10million bid from the Gunners somewhat soured his exit.
Everton have confirmed that striker Jermaine Beckford has left the club in a £3 million deal.
The transfer sees Beckford drop down a division to the Championship as he joins Sven Goran
Eriksson's Leicester City side. Beckford failed to make the grade at Goodison Park, often
frustrating Toffees fans by missing countless goalscoring opportunities.
Another hectic transfer deadline day today, with several interesting transfers currently taking
place. Diego Forlan has joined Inter Milan from Atletico Madrid, with Forlan previously being
linked to Tottenham Hotspur. I think this move is a bit of a shame as he has undoubted quality and
would have loved to have seen him play in the Premier League again, where he got so much stick for
his time with Man United.
Everton boss David Moyes has admitted they have rejected three bids for striker Jermaine
Beckford.
Everton striker Jermaine Beckford is now the latest striker to be linked with a move to Newcastle
United, if you are to believe the latest edition of the 'Sunday Sun'. The same paper is reporting
that Newcastle have not reached any agreement over PSG striker Mevlüt Erdinç, in fact, a PSG
'spokesman' had this to [.
When I learned that Everton Football Club would be paying D.C. United a visit earlier this year,
I wasn't sure how to feel. The diehard Liverpool fan in me boiled with tribal pain, but from a club
PR perspective I realized that this would be a unique opportunity for our fan base to see one of
the most historic sides in English football.

Bothroyd on his way to Everton | The Sun |Sport|Football Everton manager Moyes believes Bothroyd,
29, can be as successful as Jermaine Beckford, who was snapped up on a free from Leeds a year ago
and went on to score 10 times in his first season. "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned
lies and statistics.
Everton stunned Chelsea on Sunday, trumping the London club 1-0 behind Jermaine Beckford's 74th
minute winner. Despite playing with 10 men for the better part of the second half, the Toffees
persevered. Howard was impressive and made a few notable saves at the end of the first half when he
twice denied prominent striker Nicolas Anelka.
This stunning Jermaine Beckford goal vs Chelsea gave Everton a 1-0 win over Carlo Ancelotti's side
in the Premier League fixture between the two sides played on May 22, 2011. The Everton v Chelsea
game was the final league game of the season for both sides. The Beckford goal against Chelsea came
in the 74th [.
There really aren't words for what Jermaine Beckford did on Sunday against Chelsea. It's brilliant,
stunning, spectacular...insert whatever adjective you want. It's the kind of thing we're used to
seeing from Lionel Messi.
Enough words, enjoy!
The Mirror has also now exposed the double standards of the FA in dishing out a two match ban to
Wayne Rooney for "using offensive, insulting or abusive language" whilst ignoring all the other
players guilty of the same offence on a weekly basis.
Whilst everyone can agree that Rooney was wrong to swear directly in to the camera, the rule he
was charged and punished for makes no mention of a camera.

1. Player: Jermaine Beckford
Game: Wolves vs Everton
Time: 73 minutes
After being substituted, Beckford was clearly seen on the TV screen saying "fuck me" before
rowing with David Moyes.

Preview: Everton v Reading (19.30) Saha, who has been troubled with a hamstring injury of late,
crashed his Ferrari into a fence on Sunday but David Moyes has included him in his squad to face
the Championship side. Marouane Fellaini is a major doubt, however, after aggravating an ankle
injury in Saturday's Premier League victory over Sunderland and a decision on his fitness will not
be made
The 4th Round replay of Chelsea and Everton at Stamford Bridge needed penalties to decide the
outcome, with the Merseyside club pulling out the upset. I chose to cover this match because
Chelsea had a dilemma; they have a midweek Champions League match at Copenhagen. How much would
Chelsea play their first team?
After a less than impressive showing in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Sunday the Arsenal host
the Toffees at Ashburton Grove tonight in one of a seemingly interminable series of "must win"
league fixtures. After two helpings of Yorkshire pudding the FA Cup will now allow us to sample
some jellied eels at Brisbane Road.
Kenny Dalglish believes the Liverpool supporters hold the key to turning around the club's fortunes
and feels the players showed signs of returning to form in the 2-2 draw with Everton on Sunday.
The Scot was back in the Anfield dugout for the first time since his return and watched his side
dominate the first half but only come in at the break one goal up thanks to Raul Meireles' strike.
There's no doubt that a 2-2 result in the 215th Merseyside Derby was far from an ideal outcome at
Anfield, but -- aside from the short burst of Everton dominance to begin the second half -- this
was one of matches that should be viewed as more encouraging than disappointing.
Most strikingly, Raul Meireles continued to emerge from his shell and was perhaps the best player
on the pitch.
LONDON, England – Ten-man Manchester United returned to the top of the Premier League Sunday
after holding Tottenham to a 0-0 draw in a match that failed to live up to expectations. United's
hard-earned point saw them reclaim top spot from Manchester City on goal difference, although Sir
Alex Ferguson's unbeaten side have two games [.
