Yeah, a pretty decent run out for the team today. Certainly encouraging given our previous perfromances this season. Just missing a bit of sharpness up front, and some speed of thought and movement in midfield. There were a few great opportunities to play killer through balls today that would have opened Everton up, but on most of those occassions they were passed up and the opportunity was lost. That said, there were enough chances created (by both sides) that should have resulted in a higher scoreline. Need to work on finishing. It'll be important to put chances away in the CL game.

Yeah, spot-on about the guys who are signed-up and playing for The 'Well. Right behind every one of them. Expect (and hope) the Celtic bit is just press talk (as usual)! Back on topic, I'm looking forward to the game on Saturday and hope that Hammy gets a great turnout. He's been a good servant for the club and deserves his testamonial.

I'm usually not very optimistic about our chances at the start of each season. This one isn't going to be any different. So, here goes for my expectations; INS & OUTS I don't expect we're going to bring anyone in before January. That means that we cannot afford to lose any more before January. 1st 11 If playing 4-4-2 Randolph Hateley, Saunders, Hutchison, Hammell Humphrey, Lasley, Law, Murphy Higdon, Ojamaa If playing 4-5-1 Randolph Hateley, Saunders, Hutchison, Hammell Humphrey, Lasley, Carswell, Law, Murphy Higdon Europe If the team can get enough football under their belts before the season starts for real, I reckon we might just make the Europa Group Stages after an early exit from Champions League. SPL Mid-table, hopefully top 6 - the squad is too small to achieve any better. Cups A lottery, we're as good as most, but depends on form, injuries and suspensions for the games. So, semi's in both.

I'm hoping that Faddy sees the opportunity available here. He needs to get fit and show that he can still perform, Europe is a great shop window, but he'll likely have to play for nought! He is loved by the fans, and probably within the club. Weigh it up James!

None that I'm aware of. Could do with some classic games. - Motherwell 3 Celtic 2 Scottish Cup 1975/6 - Dortmund v Motherwell - Skippy Sunday - The Texaco Cup (Tottenham, Stoke) - Motherwell 6 Hibs 6 Probably loads of others if I was to sit and think about it.

Is there an official DVD of season 2011/12? Some great moments throughout the season. I'd certainly buy a DVD for £10.

Got my CL tickets today. A really good way to show support would be to get all the seats for the Rapid Bucharest game sold. Surely Motherwell will take some of the money from that game.
