Moyesy Welcomes Some Old Friends to Old Trafford

Well, well, well - we have a Wednesday afternoon crammed full of the best of English footer today. It's all highlighted by the visit of David Moyes' old Everton side to his new digs at OT. I'll be hoping for the best as Leeds take on Wigan at the DW. Join me around 2:45pm if you've got the afternoon off.
