Are you sure? The last time I was there they weren't using Euros
- Status
Very early days I know, but thought we were a bit one paced.
Just got back Dario and spot on, very lucky not to be 1-1 or 2-1 down so I'll take that 1-0 win and run.
Another week of hard training will hopefully set us up nicely for next week. That right hand side was bloody hideous tonight though wasn't it
They were prolly using Reichsmarks or Rubles the last time you were there, Father Time

No, I still have one or two of their notes (I collect notes from all countries I visit...I'm a bit of a numismatist). They are called Koruna's. Mind you, it was 1997 I was last there so they may have changed.
Lovely country and people and very good looking women who are not at all parsimonious with dispensing 'favours' (nudge nudge wink wink!)
We weren't exactly terrible and did at least deserve the win which, with more consistent refereeing might have yielded at least a penalty for an obvious push on Gana. RK does however take the blame for not playing a more forceful game against solid, hard working and physical opponents who mastered Everton for the most part by hard work - only Sandro offered the right kind of threat..
Martina was better than expected and the right choice - but Stek is a nightmare in waiting every time he plays. DCL just hasn't got it yet for a start..even if out of position (which is normal at this stage of a player's career)
Of course with Everton straight out on their first game - at home - against opponents on their 6th of the season made life harder. I expect we'll finish the job with something in hand next week as to lose by 2 goals would be the ultimate "Everton that" moment.

I enjoyed a pretty heavy stag do in Bratislava - good for a wkend i'd recommend. Landed late sunday night, in work monday morning. Granted i'm not an athlete or a sportsman, but personally I think it's stretching it a bit to say the knock on effect could be anything drastic.

Didn't watch the game but it sounds like a few stiff bodies running around, ie they are getting flogged to death at training and haven't tapered yet. Playing against a match fit team is always going to be difficult. Don't matter who you are.
Good pre season matches, Gent and this.

agreed mate. The Echo is a rubbish rag. They certainly weren't watching the same game as most of us. "Glimpses of a Slicker Better Everton Emerge"
...there were much more than mere "glimpses". That was a pretty impressive effort against a continental team that would easily dispense with the likes of your West Ham's, Newcastle's etc etc- Status
