    • 73' GOAL FOR EVERTON! Superb strike from Saha!

    • 54' GOAL FOR EVERTON! Rodwell with a piledriver!

    • 33' He takes is but Sigma clear.

    • 30' Baines swings a free-kick in from the left side but Cahill is penalised for handball as he tries to meet the delivery.

    • 26' Rodwell sweeps up well in midfield, but Sigma re-group and attack through the middle again.
    • 24' Fellaini tangles with Horava and brings him down. There are appeals for a penalty from the Czech side but the referee waves them away.

    • 3' Joleon Lescott has of course been dropped tonight, with David Moyes citing an attitude problem. He's laughing away in the stands.
    • 2' Sigma make a sprightly start, passing the ball neatly around midfield.
    • 1' Away we go at Goodison Park, with Everton in their traditional blue and white and Sigma in white shirts, with black shorts and socks.

  4. DAVIDORULES: He is just saying that they should forget­ about the arsenal match and look forward to the­ challanges ahead

    From kris, on Fri 21 Aug 6:39AM

  5. WILLIAM: I hope you realize that beating Sigma Olomouc­ (anyone ever heard of it ??), even by 4:0, does not­ imply in any way that the 6:1 defeat against Arsenal­ should be forgotten. In fact, this victory­ shouldn't even be taken into account, knowing the­ team Everton defeated...

    By a Gunner, of course...

  6. Great result for our team after the mauling by Arsenal.­ It just proves that we do have the skill and team­ spirit to win and hopefully the Arsenal game is a­ distant memory. The game against Burnley is the next­ hurdle Everton will need to cross and hopefully we­ shall be victorious. Well done David Moyes and his­ team. We still need to strengthen certain areas
