A rather unknown opposition. First leg at Goodison. Hope this campaign will last much longer than our previous one. With our current squad, I think we should be able to overcome this first hurdle without too much fuss. Everton to bring a 2 goal lead to the away leg....

Same as us. We got some team from Cyprus called Anorthosis Famagusta!

We should both advance to the group stages.

Lets hope so for the sake of english footy.

Yeah, it will be a disaster if either one of us don't progress to the group stages. As long as we are not complacent, we should be good enough to beat them.

Tonights the big night as Everton return to europe in the uefa cup v's Metal Box. Will it be a good night for the blue chaps or will it be a case of in and out of europe quicker than Easyjet?

Its a tough one to call...

-sigh-

Is that your prediction?

I'll go for an Everton win...1 or 2 nil

Nearly crabhead.....

1-1. AJ missing 2 penalties! What a disaster! Even though I want to stay positive, I think our chances looks pretty slim after this result. Think its time Moyes drops AJ to the bench and start Macfadden with Yak on a regular basis. AJ is not playing well but Mac is on fire for Scotland and had rescued us on a couple of occassions.

Hope Arteta is fit for the second leg....... we may have a better chance if he plays. Lets hope our Euro journey doesnt end so early.

Well said mate... Hey little wessels did a good job eh? What a save he made!

Drop AJ? he's having a tough time but drop him? Come on. You're problem is the Yak... actually a Yak moves faster than him... one idle man that

Jealous eh...

Whatever

With Arteta back for the second leg, I strongly believe that we can get at least a goal. If we can remain tight at the back than we should progress.....

Come on u blues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this game on little Channel 5 again?

Well?

Not sure boss... Looks like it could be another night with sopcast for me.
