Had a bit of fun, but mostly I did work around the house 
Watched the first half of the Chelsea/Everton game, we played pretty well but where easily caught, P.Neville is not a midfielder and T.Hibbert isn’t much use as a right back. Game ended 1-1 which is a pretty good result for us away at Stamford Bridge these days, so I’m happy with that.
On a sad note, I lost a ship in Eve, lost Anastasia my first cargo carrier. How sad, silly really I followed a guy into 0.4 space, when I should have gone else where for 30 minutes or something.
Working from home tomorrow as I’m having some loft boards delivered, still got a design document to write so that’ll keep me busy.

This weekend has been pretty good fun, went to watch a nervy game of Everton v’s Birmingham City, we won eventually 3-1, which was only decided in the 4th minute of extra time, 3 really well taken goals.
Had a few too many beers on Saturday night celebrating and played a bit of Eve + BE.
I’m pretty disappointed with BE atm, it seems to be lacking the umpfh that it had a few campaigns ago, the Axis seem to be struggling to come to the concept of playing since their overstock skills disappeared.
Hopefully they will get organised soon, their morale seems to be made of glass these days, too many nay-sayers and not enough cheerleaders over there these days, by all accounts their chat is just about how crap the HC are and how poor their equipment is.
Been there, seen it done it … /sigh.

AdeUK makes me CO of SAS Brigade, timing or what.
So now I’m tasked with getting SAS up and running after trb604 advanced up. I’m really looking forward to the challenge, with my new .allied tools I’m hoping I will become a good ambassador for the Allies.
Everton won again last night in the Carling Cup, pretty pleased with that, they struggled against the first division side, however Cahill popped up again from a Tommy Gravesen corner to put it away in extra time.
Played a little eve as well last night, while wwiiol is in intermission, fired off a mission cost me a frigate, but I needed one anyway, so I probably made a loss on that mission, need to start working on missions again, last night I was tired and went to bed before 11pm (unheard of!)

Last night I slipped out of work early to head over to Goodison Park to watch Everton v’s Larissa in the first group stage of the UEFA Cup.
It was a good match, Everton where being dominated during the first 10 minutes and the crowd where pretty quiet, however we soon took control and from a short corner Osman crossed and Cahill just back from injury directed the ball into the net, probably one of the easiest goals he’ll ever score.
In the second half Everton went 2 up from a sublime piece of football, Cahill again started it by putting Baines clear down the left and he crossed the ball on the floor early for Pienaar to back heel into Osman’s path who hit it low and hard with the outside of his right boot and it swerved delicately in the air and just inside the post with the goalkeeper rooted to the middle of the goal.
The game then turned a little and Larissa came forward and managed to score after a mix up between Howard and Lescott, stupid goal really, however Everton never do things easily (back to chewing the nails).
With less than 10 minutes to play, Everton cleared and the ball rebounded onto Gravesen’s head and he headed it forwards into Anichibes path, he took it in his stride and after shirking off a shoulder barge from Dabiaz (ex-barcode) he managed to tuck the ball into the back of the net with covering defender and keeper wrong footed.
Overall it was a really good game, we played some good football in a 4-5-1 formation which really suits Everton. Man of the Match had to be Cahill, his energy and goal settled Everton into a good stride, he only just pipped Osman to that for me as he again had another good game in the middle of the park.

To the UEFA Cup, Everton are now pitted in a fairly difficult group made up of;
- Az Alkmaar (Holland)
- FC Zenit (Russia, St.Petersburg)
- FC Nurnberg (Germany)
- Larissa FC (Greece)
I’m hopeful of beating at least 2 opponents in this group which should be enough to push us through to the knockout stage. Larissa are the team that beat Blackburn, the minnows from Greece played really well, so hopefully Moyse will have his football head on and not his shopping cart packing head on.

Well, that’s true unless you support Everton Football Club (EFC). Everton are one of those clubs that don’t do things easily, if there’s a difficult way of doing it, they’ll find it.
Last night was a prime example, after a poor first leg in the UEFA cup, they knew exactly what was needed and instead they let this Ukraine side Metalist get on top by scoring a goal. Nervous? You bet.
Overall the game was seriously lacking the first half. Everton really lacked any punch or drive and a lucky goal by Lescott at the start of the second half was a welcome relief that was etched on Moyes’ face.
However not long after sloppy defending again by Yobo and they’re 2-1 up for the night (3-2 on agg). That was the lowest of all the lows in the game, well perhaps Jagielka’s passing was worse…
Then the joy returns, McFadden scores a great goal, a nice turn and without looking up slots it into the corner of the goal from the edge of the box, 2-2 (3-3 agg) and if it stays like that we’re home and dry on the away goal rule, hope beyond hope that we don’t go all defensive …
On comes Baines, left back … and it’s backs against the wall again, crosses, quality passing from metalist and last ditch tackles by defenders, with Hibbert looking to come on to stalwart our 5 man defence … Anachibie chases down a lost cause and puts a defender under pressure, his header back to the keeper has no power on it and Anachibie pounces onto it and scores.
2-3 on the night (3-4 on agg), a poor game, Arteta wasn’t firing and the back 4 really struggled with the passing. How Moyes could play Osman & Jag’s in the middle in Europe when they’ve never played together in the Premiership is beyond me.
Mr Moyes the verdict is out on your negative defensive play. You’ve won in Europe, but the real work starts on Sunday with an away match against the barcodes. It’s must win and Sam usually has Everton in his pocket, so it’s going to be another tough game Sunday.
