Louis Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Due to last night's victoryh it looks like the following games will be moved around to match our European calendar. How nice is it to be able to say that? Derby County - Away Chelsea - Away Portsmouth - Away Fulham - Home Man Utd - Away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Presumably four of five because we'll have one round of matches where we sit it out. If fatigue's gonna knock us it's probably a good thing that two of them (the obvious ones) are games we're unlikely to take anything from anyway. Derby away and Fulham at home we should win with a relatively weak side....only Portsmouth away a problem in my view....lets hope that's the game on our UEFA rest week. And it's extremely nice to say that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Im just looking forward to four more Everton games in Europe. Im sure they'll be as boring as the last two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheedysheedysheedy Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Im just looking forward to four more Everton games in Europe. Im sure they'll be as boring as the last two It looks like we will sit out the first round of games then play; 8/11 Home v Pot 4 Team 29/11 Away to Pot 5 Team 6/12 Home to Pot 1 Team 20/12 Away to Pot 2 Team That's the only downside, I HATE Sunday games but then again would hate to not be in the UEFA Cup more. Edit; Should probably have posted this in the UEFA Cup Group Stages thread...sorry! Edited October 5, 2007 by sheedysheedysheedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I will be in Madrid this date 29/11 Away to Pot 5 Team any chance athletico??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheedysheedysheedy Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I will be in Madrid this date 29/11 Away to Pot 5 Team any chance athletico??? Think they're in Pot 3 Zed (i.e. same pot as us) so no chance of playin them. Pot 5 is the lowest seed so you're talkin Scandanvia, Greece, Switzerland and er.. Aberdeen. It looks like we play the lowest two seeds first then home to top seed which could turn out to be a classic night if we only need a win (or draw) to qualify for the knockouts, especially if it's Villareal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 How does qualification work Is it winner of group only?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Top three in each group qualify, giving twenty-four teams. Add in the eight clubs that finish third in the Champions League groups and you have thirty-two going into standard knock-out format. So whoever wins it will have need to play another thirteen games.

So as it's top 3, 7 points from 4 games would probably be enough to qualify I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 So as it's top 3, 7 points from 4 games would probably be enough to qualify I would think. Of the eight third place teams last season... Two had six points Three had five points Three had four points ....so I think you could safely say that seven will be more than enough.

Blue4Ever Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 We shouldnt be in europe if we can't win 2 and draw 1 imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheedysheedysheedy Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 We shouldnt be in europe if we can't win 2 and draw 1 imo. Seems like we can win 1 and draw 1 or 2 and still go through. If we don't achieve that we deffo don't deserve it! We will though COYB!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
