Fiorentina vs. Everton Live!


The English sides have it all to do today in the UEFA Cup, as Spurs travel to Holland to overturn a 0-1 deficit to PSV. FSC is favoring us with Everton vs. Fiorentina. David Moyes's side are 2-0 down from the first leg and will need some early goals to settle the nerves.

Can they get the Italian Job done? Join me to find out.

In earlier fixtures, Zenit St. Petersburg have put Marseille out and Leverkusen have knocked out their Bundesliga rivals Hamburg, both sides going through on away goals.

I'm here.
I can't get used to this four hour difference. It is going to be like that for another week or so.
I see that there will be a SkySports on Saturday morning. Let's hope it is live

An amazing comeback from the Arse against Chelski from '99
2-0 down and win 3-2 thanks to a Kanu hat-trick

Sorry, that is what is on right now on FSC

Hey there, Gator B, how goes it? I'm going to allow you to twitter me, I've just been too busy to take care of it. How 'bout that Elliot Spitzer? That's some hubris!

Hello, Davey . . .how's your Guv'nor doing?

3:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Not as busy as he was on the day before Valentine's Day

3:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What has happened with Gretna?
They made the Cup Final last year, got promoted last and now are going to go out of business

3:33 PM  
Blogger West Ham Rising said...

I thought the timing on his assignation (day before Valentines) was particularly unfortunate.

3:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

While Spurs and Everton are busy in Europe, there are three Prem games as well. Villa v Boro, Chelski v Derby and Pompey v Brum

Chelsea will move within three points of United and a game in hand

3:37 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

My only comment about Spitzer is that I've promised KC that I'll never ask her to stand behind me as I'm admitting to all manner of heinous behavior. What a tool!

3:37 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Thanks for the Twitter add, Trev. I'm still not sure what it's all about but I'm trying to stay up to date with what the kids are doing.

3:38 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Anyone else of those Procede ads with Gary Busey that FSC is always running. What are they trying to suggest about the average FSC watcher?

3:40 PM  
Blogger West Ham Rising said...

I haven't been watching enough FSC lately . . . Lauri was down with the flu for 10 days . . . I'm hoping I can come down with it so I can stay in the bed and watch with you lot. My bout of mono in late July/early August was wasted. Not enough footie to watch.

3:44 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I don't know how I survived without FSC

Davey, anyone else not the resemblance b/w you and the American Idol contestant with the dreadlocks . . .eerie.

Blogger United We Stand said...

1944: Not the sort of stats that Everton fans will want to read but anyway here goes... Everton haven't scored against an Italian team in Uefa club competition for 450 minutes. Fiorentina have not lost a Uefa Cup away game this season.

3:46 PM  
Blogger West Ham Rising said...

Not should be note . . .

3:46 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Five Live is still on with no commentary. I guess that they are skipping the Uefa Cup and covering Chelski Derby!!!

3:47 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Just noticed that we don't have to put up with Max Bretos.

3:47 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Villa and Boro on after this one, do you want me to keep stuum about the score?

3:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

No one has said anything about that guy...DREADLOCKS????

3:49 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, nice to have a break from the Max and Keith show today.

You can keep the scores running, Davey. I've got work to do after this one.

3:50 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Pompey have just been awarded a penalty as Five Live take a visit

3:52 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Defoe burries it.

Cup Winners(?) take an early lead.


Cardiff take a first minute lead as well.

3:53 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Cardiff - grrrr.

What's this about Liverpool as the "European City of Culture." Let me guess - lob scouse and the Liverpool hot leg, eh?

3:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Make that 2-0 to Pompey
Defoe with #2

He is probably bummed he played for Spurs in the Cup

3:55 PM  
Blogger West Ham Rising said...

I need to get back to work as well. West Ham desperately in need of something other than 4 to nil loss against Blackburn. Chat with you later!

3:55 PM

I'm going to have to get an image of the dreadlocked dude and post it here.

3:56 PM

Bayern Munich have take a 6-0 aggregate lead against Anderlecht.

3:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bloody Hell!!

Another goal at Fratton Park.
Three goals in 9 minutes.

Birmingham have got one back

3:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I want to see the guy

3:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Way to go Everton!!

4:01 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelsea and Derby have kicked off.
Five Live is doing that match and not the UEFA Cup. Strange

4:02 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

GOAL! AJ chins it in after Fiorentina's defense allows the ball to go straight across the six yard box. I don't know what Frey is complaining about - he made a complete hash of that too!

4:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

At least I can listen to Talksport.

4:03 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

No comment on the love child rumor, Dave? As things stand in your state, I believe that you have about eighteen hours to squash the rumor or resign your post.

4:04 PM

I deny everything!!!


I'm a good boy, I am.

4:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Spurs have had some good chances in Holland. It is looking good so far.

4:06 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

You can't deny the resemblance, though. Any of your kids experimenting with the dreads?

4:07 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Definitely looking good. Super free kick from Arteta there and Frey did well to paw it away.

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Have you sent a picture? I haven't seen it

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Villa 0 Boro 1

4:09 PM

I just looked up a picture. I don't know if it is the same guy, but it looks nothing like me!!

4:11 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Look above this thread; I've just posted it, you big wally!

4:11 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

What are Chelski playing at? They should easily be four up by now against Derby.

4:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Long may it continue.
COME ON YOU RAMS!!
Of course, don't get too cocky. You have United on the weekend.

4:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Another Semi finalist in action, West Brom are one up. They will be three points behind but still two games in hand

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Yakubu should have scored

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bollocks had a goal disallowed for offside... it was

4:21 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I agree. The commentator seemed to have a hard time telling Yakubu and Yobo apart there. Perhaps he should a position in the Clinton campaign?

4:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton can do this.
Come on Spurs

Munich are now losing 2-1.

4:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Another goal at Fratton Park

Brum have tied it up!!!

Why aren't FSC showing this game?

4:27 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, but that just means that Bayern are 6-2 up on aggregate. They're definitely through unless there's a freak accident.

4:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Goal for Chelski
Lamps with a goal from the penalty spot

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What was AJ doing with his stride?
Get the shot off!!

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton with a goal disallowed. He was only just offside from the first shot

4:32 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Shame, that. Should have been the second goal. Yakubu ball watching on the line.

4:32 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Who ate all the pies? Why it was Christian Vieri, that's who!

4:32 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Half-time: Everton 1-0. They just need one more without conceding. I think they can do it. Pinar and Arteta are supplying the front pair with loads of chances. It's got to be a matter of time.

4:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Spurs have reached the half scoreless

4:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelski have scored #2

4:43 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Solomon Kalou with Chelski's second. Should be a comfortable session of shooting practice for them in the second half. Chelski now three points behind United.

4:49 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

We're off again

4:50 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Spurs come close early in the second half.
Ramos has taken off his left back and put on Daren Bent.

Close for Everton as well

4:51 PM

Where are Fiorentina is in Serie A?

Everton are thumping them!!

4:53 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Pompey have taken the lead again

4:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

PSV miss a glorious chance

4:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

2056: What a let-off for Spurs. Danny Koevermans beats Spurs' poor attempt at an offside trap from the free-kick but stabs the ball straight to Paul Robinson from only a few yards out. Unbelievable miss.

4:58 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Fiorentina are currently fourth in Serie A, vying for that last Champs League spot with Milan.

5:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton are all of a sudden looking shaky.

5:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am not too impressed with them.
You?


Nice purple parka there mate

5:01 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Aaron Lennon is about to come on for Spurs. Why didn't he start?

5:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

2104: Aaron Lennon is on for, wait for it, Ledley King. A bold substitution. Particularly as Jermaine Jenas appears to be struggling with an injury.

5:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Palace have tied it up with WBA

5:07 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, the Fiorentina coach looks like Formula One driver with that anorak. Very stylish.

5:08 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Not impressed by the viola. Like most Italian sides, they're completely negative. Have they had a shot on goal all night? I'll say it again - it's supposed to be an entertainment!

5:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Very poofy I would say

5:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What a goal!!! I was just thinking that Arteta was struggling!!!

5:10 PM

Moyes going potty

5:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Don't give away a goal

Spurs, it is now your turn.

5:11 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

GOAL! Arteta with a rocket into the far corner. Very reminiscent of the Stevie G goal against Inter in the first leg. It's all square and the Goodison faithful are going potty! Everton must go on and win this one now.

5:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I think it is not fair if the game goes into extra time that away goals still count

5:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

2112: To those of you wondering what's happening at Villa Park. The answer is diddly squat.


Great, this is FSC's next game!!

5:14 PM

how did the keeper save that one!!

5:14 PM

another great save from the keeper.
Come on Everton, keep piling it on!!

I hope United have as easy a job on Saturday

5:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

If Gretna go out of business, then each team would lose their points won against them. The Old Firm would be tied.

5:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

#6 for Chelski and #5 for Lamps!!

Is United's 9-0 win in danger!!

5:32 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

They will. Looks like extra time for both of the English clubs tonight. They've both got a chance against the odds.

5:32 PM

ANOTHER GOAL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE,

DERBY GET A GOAL!!

5:32 PM

Has there ever been a 10-0 score in the Premiership?

5:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

nope, United's 9-0 win is the best, we have also beaten Forest 8-1, Barnsley 7-0 and so on!!

I think Newcastle beat Shef. Wed 8-0

ooh, Yaks almost puts it in!!

I reckon that Baines is coming on to take a penalty.

Good point

Chelsea win 6-1. Three points behind United.

Half time of ET

This one looks destined for penalties. If I don't finish Chapter 5 this week, I'm blaming Yakubu!

The England U21 game that Italy scored in the first minute. I think England won it 3-2
