3/15 McBride: Everton vs. West Ham [R] http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tv_and_radio/football_focus/2850781.stm http://soccernet.espn.go.com/preview?id=54708&cc=5901 Duncan Ferguson on the bench?
was about to start building these threads myself. Good..you take care of it Everton live Audio http://www.evertonfc.tv/match/live/index.asp
Bummer - should have waited a few more minutes -- my clunky computer is slower than dirt. Hopefully there will be the need for one of us to do pbp tomorrow.
I can help out as long as Brian is on the pitch, and I usually have a million textrackers going at the same time so I'll be able to chip in during the other matches like always...
Not looking good for Macca to start... Moyes to prefer an unchanged side against Hammers (sportinglife.com): http://www.sportinglife.com/footbal...STORY_NAME=soccer/03/03/14/manual_073354.html Moyes celebrates one year in charge at Goodison (skysports.com): http://msn.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,2760-1083587,00.html Campbell preferred over McBride, and yes, McBride has forward company on the pine in the name of Duncan Ferguson. Five strikers named in the Everton squad by Moyes-- interesting. Between whoever starts and those who come in off the bench, looks like Everton are going all out for the three points (as well as they should).
Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...
I wouldnt expect McBride to start even if Moyes thought he was the best option unless McHead is bought or the loan is extended. It weakens Moyes' bargaining position and he cant rely on McBride for much longer, which means that he will need the other guys to step in. Better to prepare for it now that they are healthy and avoid any bad blood.
McBride starts alongside Radz. Richard Wright Tony Hibbert David Weir Alan Stubbs David Unsworth Steve Watson Scot Gemmill Thomas Gravesen Gary Naysmith Tomasz Radzinski Brian McBride Kevin Campbell Paul Gerrard Joseph Yobo Wayne Rooney Li Tie
The way it should be Odd seeing Li Tie not starting...out of favor? Where's Pistone? Injured/suspension?
Hibbert was Everton's right back, but has been injured for months. Pistone was dropped, and probably Moyes is shuffling the deck (Li Tie also)--like he promised.
Is there anywhere else that Monty Python is quoted so much? pething - thanks for the sig material. The North American tag team back together. Excellent
as the great oz... i predict a goal from each of the north americans today. good to see them paired together again.
Indeed so. And so much for Moyes going with an unchanged eleven from a fortnight ago. The way West Ham's season is going, and their defending in particular, I'm with you on the prediction for a goal apiece for Radzinski and McBride.

Now how am i supposed to watch Friedel, listen to the Everton audio and follow all the scores at the same time, this is what I call Soccer Saturday,.... oh wait MLS will start soon
or mid-afternoon... dk...since you seem like you are in rare form this morning/afternoon, I'll let you take the pbp...i'm not up to it today...
Applause for the home team. Moyes celebrating 1 year with the club. Brian McBride starting the only surprise change.
