Howard on Baines

With Bainesy at left-back it's not a glamour position and I think it's hard sometimes to see just how effective he is.

He's our key cog. We've got (Marouane) Fellaini and (Steven) Pienaar and those guys, and obviously Kevin Mirallas, can produce a bit of magic.

But without Bainesy this team doesn't go. It's just hard sometimes for people on the outside to see that.

FA to take no action over water squirt spat

The Football Association has decided to take no action over the tunnel bust-up between Jack Wilshere and Kevin Mirallas during last night's stormy Barclays Premier League clash at Arsenal.

Mirallas sparked a half-time confrontation at the Emirates Stadium when the Everton midfielder appeared to squirt water at Wilshere as the players made their way off the field.

Wilshere, just back from a six-week injury lay-off, reacted angrily and Everton players stepped in to prevent a direct confrontation.
