Moyesy says: “Now that I’ve had the chance to see it on television, I think it’s a goal. That’s not the reason why we are out of the competition but it’s certainly gone a long way towards it. Everybody makes mistakes so I wouldn’t blame anybody but tonight it meant so much to us. It meant so much for the club to reach the group stages and for myself and the players. You just get annoyed because from corner kicks the defenders actually hold the front players back.We don’t do that in our country and for us to get a goal chalked off like that is difficult.

I really don’t think there was a free-kick there. But referees have to give what they see and he must have seen something. I hoped that the players would always be in the game and would give the supporters something to shout about and I think they did that. We can’t deny that we were under a lot of pressure at times in the game but we kept at it and it nearly went to plan.”

* The stunner who got her baps out when Everton eqaulised. If anyone knows her mail blue baps.

* Moyesy showing why he was a centre half, coming on the pitch to aim a side footed volley miles from its target.

* Pierluigi Collina, the world's best ref will be in charge. He refereed The 2002 World Cup final between Germany and Brazil in Japan. His hair must have been in his eyes when Big Dunc buried the ball in the back of the net.

* Our plane delayed for over four hours in John Lennon Airport. On the lash, will we stay sober to watch the game, should have took off at 9 bells, looking at past one this afternoon for lift off. Watch this space for diary of the Villarreal trip. Help !!!!

Defo out are PK, Pisto, Nace and Cars. Doubts remain over Davies, Beattie and Bent. Moyesy will wait till the last minute to pick the team.

Moyesy says: "Unfortunately I couldn't tell you yet who will be available. Marcus has had a scan which proved clear in as much that there was no serious damage. It just looks like bruising. James Beattie still has a problem with a toe which we need to assess. He is running but not kicking the ball yet. They are both a concern but hopefully one or both of them will pull through. Sandro has had a scan which we are not quite happy with and we will get him seen again later this week.”

Simon Davies says: "You don't get many opportunities to play Champions League football so I want to enjoy it while I can. We couldn't have got a more difficult opponent at this stage of the competition. The players watched the draw together in the canteen and were a bit gutted to be honest. Playing in the Champions League was a massive factor in me joining Everton. We gave it a good go in the first leg but unfortunately couldn't make our pressure pay, but it's not over yet. We know it will be difficult to go over to Spain and turn the tie around but stranger things have happened. Realistically, we knew we had to win the home leg and really impose ourselves on the tie. It will be a totally different game over there because Villarreal will have a lot more possession than at Goodison and try to dominate the game. We know we cannot afford to give another goal away and our best chance is to try to get the goals we need from set pieces and do what we can from there. We are more than capable of doing it even though we realise it is going to take a big performance to pull it off."

Big Nige says: "Sometimes you win games and it masks a lot of things because the team hasn't played well but that hasn't been the case with us. We had only been disappointed with results and not performances. We created chances against Manchester United and that is something you don't often get a chance to do. But it is the same old thing. You have got to take your chances when you are having a period of play like that. We've got to make sure we do that if we get a chance against Villarreal. They played some good football at Goodison and playing them will be like chalk and cheese compared to Bolton. But you have got to adapt to the way teams play. We will work on defending and we will work on trying to cause them problems, too."

Yobo says: "We knew the Bolton game was going to be a very difficult game but with our Champions League game coming up, we really needed this win. We know we are a good team and we showed a good spirit. That is what really helped us win the game, togetherness and spirit. We fought very hard and every player gave everything they had. We keep doing that, then we have got a chance. The spirit is good so hopefully we can go to Villarreal, give them a good fight and achieve what we want. We'll go there and enjoy it."

An unnamed bluekipper.com source in Valencia says: "Get rid of the brass and bring a few San Migs back. We're running low."

Everton (from): Martyn, Hibbert, Yobo, Weir, Neville, Davies, Arteta, Cahill, McFadden, Osman, Li Tie, Kilbane, Bent, Beattie, Ferguson, Vaughan, Wright.

Villarreal's keeper is shitting himself as the comments below show. Lets getinto them right from the start. Onward Evertonians...

Goalkeeper, Fanny(to his mates) Barbosa says: "I have never been beaten up as badly as by Everton. Not even when I was in the playground at school. My head was cut open and I was left swearing, but I don't know at who. After the game my entire body ached. My shin, my chest, my thigh, you name it and it hurt. I had expected Everton to bombard my area with high balls but I never believed they would go in for such close contact.

I came out to make a catch in the first half and I was hit with a terrible blow, that made me angry and I then realised it was a case of kill or be killed. But I had to be careful about it, their supporters were very gentle - I don't think. They swore at me a lot, even though I could understand very little of it. I saw them doing something strange, making v-signs with their fingers and I asked 'are they looking for peace and love?' Diego Forlan, who used to play for Manchester United, explained that they were saying 'f*** you' to us. Although we won the first leg 2-1 we are not yet through, the second leg will be a battle and I am going to get stuck in. Everton are a bunch of animals and they are not worth a thing."

VILLARREAL (from)(possible; 4-4-2): M Barbosa — J Venta, G J Rodriguez, Q Alvares, R Arruabarrena — M A Senna Da Silva, A Tacchinardi, J P Sorín, J Riquelme — D Forlán, L Figueroa.
