Artetasgirl Posted December 3, 2009 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2009 None of all this matters, as Everton aren't going to win the Europa cup I'll know the first person to thank when we do... :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 4, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2009 No Liverpool will, and then it won't be quite so funny, will it? Doubt it, The FSW has already said he isn't bothered by the competition, he's going to field reserves because he needs to concentrate on the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissmith921 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yet league finish clearly is important.. prize money aside, it gives us fans bragging rights over fans of other clubs... and how many times do we have to bring out the 'look how many times Villa have finished above Spurs in the PL' card... So, I guess the question is, how many positions (5th - 17th) is a League Cup worth? And an FA Cup? Would you sacrifice, say, 7 league positions, to get to the semi-final of the EL? Would you rather win the EL and escape relegation on the last day of the season, or finish 5th? Actually, scratch that last one, that'd be an amazing finish to the season! I'd take 17th, staying up on the last day of the season - but winning a trophy over finishing 5th and winning nothing. But thats just me - others may feel a bit differently (more than likely do, in fact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan83 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think Everton fans just want a trophy now, two 5th place finishes were impressive but the press still give more attention to the likes of Spurs, who they seem to cream over regardless of where they are in the league.

Richard Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Trouble is I dont think Everton will win anything this season and I do think they will struggle to make the top 10. So, as Rob says, the debate is irrelevant. Can I be thanked as well please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 4, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2009 I can't see Everton winning the EL either to be honest which is why I thought they might be better off going out, have to wait and see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artetasgirl Posted December 4, 2009 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2009 Same old same old, everyone writing us off. Totally used to it now. I'm not saying we are going to win it, but with a bit of luck, players back, full team out, we have as much chance as anyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well, one thing no-one can argue with: you have a better chance of winning it than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm the opposite, I can see Everton winning it, if they get all players back, fit and fighting they have every chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vojskovoda Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Galatasaray are the team to watch everyone. I've got a couple of buddies who are from Turkey who have been telling me that Galatasray will surprise a few people this season and I can see why they say this. Rijkaard is a great manager who's already managed at the highest level with Barca, they've got a great team... most notable Elano, Arda Turan, Leo Franco... and the legend that is Milan Baros haha. Lets see how they do in the knock-out rounds... they've already blitzed their group and I'll be supporting them hoping they can reach the final.

TrentVilla Posted December 4, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2009 There are a lot of good sides in the competition thats the thing, I think its almost impossible to pick a winner at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artetasgirl Posted December 4, 2009 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2009 Obviously it's difficult to predict a winner at this stage! The only point I was trying to make is we have just as good a chance as anyone else. Quick fact: Salzburg, one of the lowest rank teams (4th bottom ranked team) at this stage of the competition, are the only team to have a 100% records in the group stage. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I was gonna back Everton to beat Spurs this weekend until I read that Tony Hibbert may be playing centre half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artetasgirl Posted December 4, 2009 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2009 I was gonna back Everton to beat Spurs this weekend until I read that Tony Hibbert may be playing centre half! To be fair, he's done alright there, especially in midweek. Against Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane is quite a different proposition though Why do I get an odd feeling Moyesy was being slightly serious here: Sky Sports"]"Myself and Andy Holden (reserve team coach) have both played centre-half over the years," said a surprisingly upbeat Moyes, a former Celtic and Preston defender. "We've both put ourselves in the frame this morning (Friday) when we joined in training and did okay so we're waiting on the manager's decision. "I'm sure I can dig out my registration from somewhere. "I think we'd quite enjoy it. I know what we would be trying to do in the first 30 seconds, rake our studs down the back of their legs!"
