Everton, football's most unsuccessful big club, continue spiral of misery as trophy drought goes on

MANCHESTER, England -- Everton are in a spiral of misery. Even when they play well, they still lose. Friday's FA Cup third-round defeat at Manchester United was their ninth loss in 12 games and it might yet be the one that costs manager Frank Lampard his job.
