The Mail Bag

Great result, Poor performance, Dyslexic former player

Great result (in the end), bring on the group stages.

Last night's performance was poor, though. Jagielka, Yakubu and Yobo were awful last night and again Moyes was a little slow to ring the changes but, hey, we won.

What really did annoy me though was Kevin Ratcliffe constantly pronouncing our players' (and manager's) names incorrectly. Did this man ever play for Everton? Does he show any interest in the club normally? Last night Moyes became Moyles, Jagielka became JuJelka (is he a hybrid player of the young guy on the bench and Jagielka?) and poor old Victor became Anchoby. Channel 5, get someone else in next time.

Kevin Ratcliffe was really doing my head in last night with his inability to pronounce players names correctly! Surely its not that hard to pronounce players names when your a ex footballer and a pundit. He spent the whole of last night calling Jags "Ja Jelka" and never got big vic's name right once, even calling him "Victor Anchovy" at one point! I know its only channel 5 but I was almost as appalled by the commentary as I was by "Phil Ja Jelka's" performance!
