Big Dunc is out with a sore back. Cahill is serving a 1-match suspension for 5 yellows. Beattie is serving his suspension from his sending off last week. McFadden (thigh strain) and Osman (knee) are 50/50. Are we even going to HAVE 11 men to put out there?

In other news, it's the return of the prodigal son. Do you think SAF will start him? How bad do you think the reaction of the Goodison crowd will be?

I'm saying big fat loss for this one. We don't have the man power.

I want an upset! Enough with the negativity! Go Everton! :)

Seriously though, given that Man U have a Champions League match next week do you think that Rooney will play? I would love to be at Goodson Park to see the reaction if he plays! It is never a popular with the fans when a good player makes a move like Rooney did.

I'd say most of the fans hate his guts, as do I. I understand why he left and all that, but it doesn't make it any less painful. And his move has brought us Marcus Bent, Tim Cahill and James Beattie, so I can't be all that disappointed.

Should be a rockin' house at Goodison though. An upset would be more than I could hope for, given the current condition of our squad.

i can see this heading for a replay. yeah, there are lots of injuries, but Moyes is a great manager and he can pull something together

Great manager, indeed. He still needs 11 fairly strong, fairly healthy men to put out there though.

This one was supposed to have been live on FSC (FSW) but I don't see it listed anymore. Anyone know what happened??

I believe it's pay per view in England. It may end up being pay per view here also. That means I'll have to pay fifteen bucks if I want to see it, or drive about an hour to a bar in Houston that will show it. Hmm........

Does anyone want to guess what the starting lineup will be? We really need McFadden and Osman to be healthy.

Bent up front

Kilbane Carsley Arteta Yobo

our usual lot of defenders should be available, and Martyn in goal.

I liked the way Arteta moved in the few minutes he was out there against Chelsea. He seems to have some real skill and fluidity to his game. I look forward to much more playing time for him.

I think the fatboy will play. Man Utd don't have any other striking options by the looks of things.

Yes, but I think Moysie knew he was gone. Technically, you're right though. My mistake.

Fatboy. I like that one. :D

HI,
As Judas only turns it on for the big games, and is mediocre for the rest, figure him to get the winner if not a hat trick.

Shame, it looks like we are crumbling again! Martyn comes back and lets in 3 in two games?! He is the best but if he can't keep some more clean sheets it's over for us. Still gotta play the Manure and Gooners in the league still. Beattie out for 2 more league games, and there are about 3/4 teams only 5 to 8 points behind us!!!
Time to pray in'it??!!

Where about will you be?

Look out for a sign in the Lower Gwladys (nearest the Church) made by my mate off Blue Kipper

They were talking about it the other day how it would wind up all the Manure fans (a bit like that kid who had a sign "Please by fatboy" back in August)

Fans who hate united holding up signs for Grizzley to buy them is as loud as any united protest; as long as it's written in blue, keep up the good work :D

Rudd has announced that he's healthy and wants to play in this game, though he probably wont, and Smith is almost fit as well. so rooney won't be the lone striker against AC milan, and so probly wont be rested against everton.

i still think the boy's an everton fan, and i doubt he's gonna kiss his badge or rub it in yall's faces........ unless you do a good job in warming him up before he smacks in a game winner :D
(but even then everton are to be awarded like $50,000)

what will help, d'ya ask?

well, my strategy would be to buy Manchester United and then tell the Red Devil players that they get a much needed holiday on 19/2.

another possibility would be to put literally thousands of detour signs up in Scouseville sending their bus to Blackpool. the zoo would be a nice divertisment
