UEFA Cup Football Action - come on the blues!

I have been an Everton fan since 1984 and a Zenit fan since 1996, so tonight is a BIG footie night. It would be great if both teams got to the final stages after having been in the same group. If we both get to the final, then I will buy a bottle of champagne for the group member that predicts the winning team and nearest the time of the first goal!

It is wierd how people support football teams for the duration of their lives, but I have been through some hard times following Everton so far, that is for sure.... Perennial relegation battles in the 90s.... a long way from the European triumph in the 80s. We may be experiencing those glory days some day soon....

As for Zenit, well, Gazprom, great manager, Arshavin (how old IS he???) fantastic supporters behind them. Piter is united - let's hope they get a good result against Marseille - good team.

Good luck boys.

Ah well, you win some you lose some. Marseille played well. Everton still have a glimmer of hope....

Little hope now - we both have mountains to climb.... as we say in England - bugger.
