There was one major positive from Blues 1-0 defeat tonight at home to Everton (for the record, all my criticisms in the wake of the defeat against Crystal Palace a fortnight ago still stand, and unless our manager bucks up his ideas I will start vociferously calling for his head): two Everton players are in my fantasy league team - Hibbert notched his first clean sheet of the season (three points) while in my team, and Gravesen (three points) netted the winner.

Christ, what straws I'm clutching...
