Moyesy says: "I thought there were a lot of positives to take out of tonight. It was a little bit scary for about 10 minutes where we gave away a poor goal but we clarified that and cleared that up. I thought the goals we scored were really good and getting Tim Cahill back and Tommy was a bonus. It is what Tim does for us and he has been doing it for years. He did again and you can see what it means for him. It is a big thing for our squad and thankfully he is back and come through it with no problems. It will benefit him in the coming weeks."

* When The Greek announcer said something in Greek to the Larissa fans near the end, the Park End deducing that it meant they were staying in after the game, started the 'your gonna get your f*ckin head kicked in' chant. We are so educated us Blues, even Greek language is a piece of piss. (26/10/07)

Well then after Saturdays Derby defeat, I think Moyesy's charges will be wanting to make amends starting with a comprehensive victory against Larissa this evening. In a statistic I saw the other day, Moyesy it seems is in danger of catching Fat Spanish Waiter Disease, as he has only once kept the same starting eleven this season. I cannot see him changing his methods tonight, and it is getting harder and harder every week to read the Gaffers mind. One thing is for sure, Tiny and The Grav are back in the squad, but me thinks they will get half an hour from the bench especially with Derby County to play on Sunday. Me thinks Phil Neville will take over from Tony Hibbert after his ineffectual display before seeing pink on Saturday, as to say he looked shaky would be an understatement. Harry Hill may come back into contention, as he is someone who can do the donkey work in the middle to free up some of Mikky's time to weave his magic further up the park. Yes its all guessing games, but with no serious injury worries apart from Vaughny, Moyesy will be using his squad to the full, with a run of four games in ten days.

Moyesy says: What we are in the process of is finding a proper settled side, partly because of injuries, we’ve really missed midfield players. We’ve had near enough the same two midfield players to select from. Tim Cahill and Tommy Gravesen are very close to coming back now, which will give me more options so we will make one or two changes, but nearly everyone who has played has already played. Tim has been involved, so we’ll look at it, we’ll look at the game. The Premier League is really important to me, but the Uefa cup is equally as important. Tim wasn’t passed fit on Saturday, he’s trained for the last two or three days. The real problem with these players is that they’ve lacked match practice – they’ve not been able to get that, and that’s a decision we need to decide and look to see whether they’re right to start or whether they’re right to come off the bench."

The Greeks are currently lying tenth in the Greek League after a 1-0 defeat at the weekend to League leaders AEK Athens. Ex Blue Ibrahimo Back of the Echo is a familiar face for thre Greeks, and hopefully he will receive a warm reception, if for nothing else two crackers at Blackburn that went a long way to helping the Blues stay up many moons ago, Christ those were the days. Ex Newcastle player Nikos Dabizas is the team Captain, but apart from these two, I can't really help you out on any of their team. Lazy journalism, you bet, off for some brekkie now !!

Larissa From: Back of The Echo, Dabizas, Georgias, Donny, Cristos, Adonis, Zeus, and several other dark haired hairy bodied athletes. Stereotypes don't you just love 'em.
