The whole World must be laughing at us right now.

First, we canâ..t produce a half-decent English manager for our national team, and now the whole country has been brought to its knees after a foot of snow, spread over a week.

And itâ..s only going to get worse, or better, depending on who you listen to. The only responsible thing to do is get outside and start digging yourself a bunker. Self-preservation is the order of the day.

The next immediate crisis is a critical grit shortage. I hear Gloucester has completely run out, but the local council are sitting on the information, hoping it doesnâ..t leak out. Because, of course, if it does, it opens the door to all sorts of looting and pillaging across the West Country.

If youâ..ve been paying any attention to the Premier League, youâ..d know that the Grit Shortage isnâ..t a new thing, but that shouldnâ..t be a problem at Goodison Park today.

You canâ..t help but be impressed at Evertonâ..s result during the week, and the natural assumption is that there must be some sort of hangover, especially when David Moyes is operating with such a small squad. But at the same time, I get the feeling that hangover isnâ..t in his vocabulary.

Yeah, this one has nil-nil written all over it, as Everton still have no strikers and Bolton are still pretty resolute, (at least for eighty minutes). Still, if there is a time you want to play this Everton side, itâ..s after they peaked during that ad-break on Wednesday.

And maybe if Bolton can put them under a bit of sustained pressure, thereâ..s an opportunity to still spoil Moyesâ.. week.
