Ready for more real entertaining Europe football? Check this game out on Wed 5th December. Ticket already purchased as there is nothing better than a night game at the grand old stadium Goodison Park.

It would be interesting to watch Everton in a game where a draw is fully acceptable for one part (Everton) and more or less acceptable for the other part (Zenit). Yesterday with Nuremberg Zenit looked very impressive except two foolish goalkeeper's blunders. However, in these days each year our teams usually get increasingly relaxed from day to day. Would it be the case this time?

I see that I was not quite correct in my estimation. Zenit will have to do their best as a draw would, most likely, mean their failure to qualify.

It's not nice knocking a team out but if it has to be done for our sake then we have to m8 sorry. Are you sure your out if its a loss?

Unfortunatley I am.

Everton - Zenit 1\1
Nuremberg - AZ 3\0
AZ-Everton 3\0 (no offence meant - only difference in degree of motivation)
Larissa - Nuremberg 0\3

Everton, AZ, Nuremberg - 7; Zenit - 6; Larissa - 0

So - come what may.:))

NEverton 0-5 ZENIT


come on the RUSSIANS

Perhaps a tad optimistic???

Lucky, lucky Everton. Never a penalty in a million years - the guy made a superb interception with his knee/chest whilst purposefully keeping his arms right back out of the way. Okay, Everton messed up the spot kick - but Zenit are down to 10 men.

Everton have had the better chances (from what i can gather) but this could go either way.

ya your right Shaggy, but its a crap game , terrible ref decision


glad i didn't buy a ticket

F*ck! A c*cksu*ker from Iceland has done all the matter.

And ben... did you actually watch the game?

Everton show Liverpool how to get to win a group stage.....

Not very closely as i was more focussed on the Arsenal - Newcastle match.. but i saw the penalty decision if that's what you're getting at.

no not that at all.. It was your could go either way comment.

Advice: We need to watch all 90 mins to use such a comment.

Well, they had some good chances, hence they could have scored, hence it could have gone either way, hence i'm right.

Hence it's a silly comment then as all games could do this, hence like saying "someone will win, lose or draw in this game, hence see what I mean, hence your wrong, hence I'm right, hence as usual.

I didn't invent the saying.

And anyway, it means you 'could see the game going either way' which you could, as they had real goalscoring opportunities. Some games aren't like that.

You didnt invent the saying you're right for once, but please use the word in the right context next time.

As I said before! Did you actually see their so called great opportunities? I was there and didn't see one mate... About two to three shots on goal from outside the box if thats the ones you are talking about. Of course we could say in every game "it could of gone either way" but that would just be silly if every thread had someone saying that in wouldn't it?

The Goal Scorer Tim Cahill celebrates his goal.

I didnt see the match cause i was working.
how was it?
And how is steven pienaar playing in this team?
For Ajax he was always a great player. (with his great dances)
-x-

He's taking his time getting in there but He's improving all the time, he works hard and thats what we like at Everton.

good good.
pienaar is the man!!!

Respect to Moyes for honest admission of the penalty being wrong - a rare thing for a coach of the winning party.

Congratulations Everton, hope we can get through aswell then meet you in manchester.

Cheers m8. To be honest I'm glad we missed the pen too but that still doesn't help I suppose.

Ps... your support was great with all their flags.
