Kom igjen! De kan da fint snakke i den eksisterende tråden, så får de som ønsker å svare dem der gjøre det.

Skal vi begynne å legge til rette for andre lags supportere?

Hehe, Everton is of course favorites! But we don't care too much if we gets beaten out! But don't expect a walk-over! Brann won't give up without a haard fight!

If the match was played in the middle of our season in july or something, I would maybe believe Brann had a decent chance, but in February it's our off season, and we'll probably suck :P

Btw lol: My teacher is a die hard Everton fan and a die hard Brann fan :P I think he'll just lock himself up the basement or something and ignore the match and the outcome :P (he's not even from Bergen, he's from Valdres! )

Hi my name is Ryan and i support Everton

nice to talk to the brann fans, you seem like a friendly bunch who are quitely confident.

I would like to know more about brann, have you always been title contenders or was it a shock to win the league? how is your squad are there many international players?

at everton we have a few international players and some really skillfull players. We also have a 40,000 stadium and will be sold out for the return leg, i dunno how we will do in Brann but if we play a strong side i think we can win both legs, its quite possible. We are currently on a 13 game unbeaten run, we won 11 and drew 2, we drew with chelsea and portsmourth away. We play Manchester United on Sunday at Old Trafford.

Brann has lost their best player, central midfielder Martin Andresen since they won the league. That will weaken them very much.
Title: Brann - Everton [The English thread]
Post by: SKBMiller on December 21, 2007, 20:28:21 PM
Martin Andresen was our captain and a very strong leader for the team. He is a man who is hard to replace but we have played many good games without him. But fakiri and Bakke is almost as good as Andresen

Brann was founded in 1908.
Despite being one of the two biggest football clubs in Norway by attendance, economy, general interest, etc., we have only won the norwegian league 3 times: 1962, 1963 and 2007. Brann won the domestic cup in 1923, 1925, 1972, 1976, 1982 and 2004. The club's revenue is about 10 mill pounds a year, and the average attendance on league games was 17,225 last season. The sale of season tickets is limited to 12,000. Brann is known to have the best atmosphere on football in Norway, and we are the one club with the most "british" kind of atmosphere. Which means no "ultras" with drums, instruments, capos, megaphones and stupid things like that. (The rest of the clubs in Scandinavia have those kind of things). Brann play on Brann Stadion which is 4 kilometres south of the city center of Bergen. The stadium is under reconstruction now, so the capacity is only 17,800. On uefa games only 16,800.  Which means you will get about 840 tickets to the away sector. After the rebuilding the capacity will be appr. 21,500. The attendance record is 32,000 on a cup semi final in 1961. Bergen itself has 250,000 inhabitans and is known to be the most beautiful city in Norway. The slogan is "The fjord capital" or "The gateway to the fjords".

Hey Ryan! :)

Well, Brann is a traditional club in the Norwegian League(Tippeligaen). We've always been there, even tho we've been relegated a couple of times through the years. But we don't have a big tradition of winning, and before this championship we haven't won since 1963!

But the last of years we've always been contenders, except of 2005 (6. place, cause of a crappy fall season). In 2006 we had a 10 point lead after half of the season was played, but we played a decent fall season, and our arch rivals Rosenborg BK managed to catch us after an 8 straight win run, and we lost the "final" vs Rosenborg in one of the last rounds. We only got the silver.

In the 2007 season we just rocked socks and won the league like 3-4 rounds before the end :D

Yeah we have a bunch of Norwegian internationals And our GK is first GK on the Norway team. 3 Icelandic, 1 gambian. And 1 swede, 1 scottish, and 1 yankee!

But our first eleven mostly consists Norwegian players, in contrast to a lot of other norwegian teams, like Rosenborg! But Rosenborg have gotten rid of few swedes and such now tho..

Well heres a little bit of information about Everton FC

As you know we are in Liverpool, North-West England, We are the only team in England to be in the top flight of football the longest since 1878. We are in the top 5 all time English clubs in terms of honours, we won the League 9 times in 1890-1, 1914-15, 1927-28, 1931-32, 1938-39, 1962-63, 1969-70, 1984-85, and 1986-87

We have won the FA Cup 5 times: 1906, 1933, 1966, 1984, 1995

Our Stadium is Goodison Park, it hold 40,500 people but our average attendance in the season is about 37,000 fans.

This season we broke our transfer record, we signed Yakubu for 11.25 million pounds, his record in the Premiership is second only to Thierry Henry.

Other Key Players:

Joesph Yobo - Nigeria Captain and Everton Defender
Lescott - England International and very good defender
Mikel Arteta - Everton's player of the year 2 years running
Andrew Johnson - Very fast striker and England International, very small
Tim Cahill - like Steven Gerrard, scoring midfielder, Australian International, you may remember from World Cup
Tim Howard - Our USA goalkeeper, ex-man utd goalkeeper
and of course Yakubu
Phil Neville - Everton Captain and ex-man utd player

Ones to Watch:
Anichebe - very big striker, holds the ball and has scored 3 times in Uefa Cup, only 19
James Vaughan - 19 years old, very fast, very dangerous striker
Pienaar - Only at loan but he is extremely skillful

We are currently 6th in the Premiership nearly half way through and are on same points as Liverpool. We are also in Semi Finals of the Carling Cup a competition we have never won. We face Chelsea in the Semi-Finals over two-legs, by the time we play you in February we shall know the outcome. Our Manager is David Moyes, he has been with us for 5 years (very long time in Prem, usually managers last 1 or 2 years). He is Scottish so is very similar style to Sir Alex Ferguson.

And just a little bit more history, Everton currently hold the record for a single player to score the most goals in 1 season. Dixie Dean scored 60 goals in one season which has never ever been beaten.

I cannot wait for the match and i wish you good luck, but obviously as Evertonian i hope we progress.. well done on winning the Norwegian League and good luck in the Champions League.. i will make sure to look out for your results.

I have very much respect for som of your players.
Mikel Arteta. Very very good
Yakubu. A dangerous striker
Andy Johnson. Need I say more?

Have followed this young lad James Vaughan  for awhile. A very big talent. Take care of him. A new star in the making

Pubs recommended:

'Pubs on Walton Lane or The Spellow and Wilnslow Hotel outside Goodison are recommended. The only pub that away fans should avoid is The Royal Oak.' Alcohol is served in the away section of the ground, including beer from the Club's sponsors Chang.

Really looking forward to these two mathces, playing a very good premiership team is really great stuff for our club. We`ll be playing cl-qualification next fall and it`s great getting some experience at this level.

The draw is excellent for many reasons, we`ll probably fill the stadium since it`s an english team (english mathes since the seventies on the telly) is "popular", we will be underestimated by your team, we`l get a good night out in liverpool, and we willl hopefully get a more decent vistors than the scum from zagreb ( they made a fool of them selves)

Myself i`ve "followed" everton for a while in the premiership, i think your team is very honest in your playingstyle, especially your games against liverpool, i like the passion of your crowd and players. And i would really like going to Goodinsion Park, where we Brannsupportes will probably be drunk as hell ;) but supporting our team as hell as well:)

Woulld "like" to se Arteta and Johnson out of the game, quality players

But how many Everton-supporters do you expect for the Bergen game? You'll probably only get your 850 tickets (the "5% to the away team"-rule), but will you need much moe than that? I mean, SK Brann Bergen isn't the most attractive team for you...

i think 3000-5000 fans will flyover, most of them without tickets.. we tend to do that bring fans over even without tickets... i reckon the FUll allocation will be taken up by everton fans 850 tickets easily, within seconds

then i think some of the other evertonians will try to get in the home end and buy tickets off your supporters or from your ticket office pretending to be norwegian somehow lol

if not they will just hang around pubs near the stadium and watch the game on tv in norway :)

vs Carmarthen, Wales: won 8-0 in Wales - won 6-3 in Bergen. Aggr.: 14-3. (The 8-0 win in Wales was actually the biggest home defeat in history for a welsh club in Europe. Liverpool only won 3-0 away vs a welsh team in european cup only months after their (terrible) Champions League title).

vs Suduva, Lithuania: won 2-1 in Bergen - won 4-3 in Lithuania. Aggr.: 6-4.

vs Club Brugge (Bruges), Belgium: lost 0-1 in Bergen - won 2-1 in Belgium. Aggr.: 2-2.

vs Hamburg, Germany: lost 0-1 in Bergen.

vs Rennes, France: drew 1-1 in France. (Rennes was number 3 in France at that moment, far ahead of big clubs like Paris SG and Marseille. We had the lead until a penalty minutes from full time).

vs Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia: won 2-1 in Bergen.

vs Basel (Basle), Switzerland: lost 0-1 in Switzerland.

The last two games were about one month after our league season, and w had lots of injuries and suspensions.

There we go! Just booked tickets to London, and will stay there for a few days before going to Liverpool.

Everton is absolutely a team Brann can beat, we're just glad we didn't get Bayern Munchen. In addition, English teams are much more interesting for us, since most of us have a favourite team in England. For my part, it's Liverpool. ;)  Hoping to catch a premier league game aswell while we're over there.

Btw, Brann isn't a city.... Bergen is.

Good luck getting tickets to the game in Bergen, if ppl find you attractive enough, tickets are usually sold out in a few hours.

need i remind you Sk Brann finished 3rd on 4 points
Everton finished 1st with 12 points

only 1 other team achieved same feat even Bayern Munich didnt, it was Bordeaux in France

The team we beat AZ with was 18,19 year old mostly and even 1 16 year old we won 3-2 at AZ Alkmaar who made semi finals or quarter finals last year and hold the longest unbeaten home record in Europe, no other European team has a better record. Inter Milan, Barcelona, Liverpool all couldnt beat AZ Alkmaar but Everton could.

its our 5th straight win in Europe, the reason our co-efficient is so low is because we have not been Europe before except in champs league and uefa cup qualifiers which we lost a few years ago and also because Liverpool fans got us banned from Europe for 10 years when Everton was strongest European side, stronger than Madrid, the ban wasnt helpful for Everton.

Haha!

The coeffisient is made on the results last five seasons. So your excuses about being banned for many many years ago, are not very good... It is at least 10 years since english teams were banned!

And let me also remind you that teams from the bigger leagues have higher coeffisient just because they are from a bigger league. English teams have a 22,618-coeffisient in Europe, even if the club have never played in Europe before. But the belgian teams (like Club Brugge) starts with only 9,594. This means that Everton (with a 24,618-coeffisient) only have made 2,000 points on their own, while Club Brugge (with a 45,564-coeffisient) have made 35,979 points on their own. Of course Everton have a harder way to Europe, because they play in a better league than Club Brugge. But I'm quite sure that no 1 in Belgium are (almost) as good as those teams behind Arsenal, ManU, Chelsea and Liverpool in England. But I guess you big headed englishmen think that even pub league teams in England are better than the best teams in Belgium...

Anyway, you lost 1-5 vs Dinamo Bucharest two seasons ago in the first round of uefa-cup. If you can lose by 4 goals for number 3 in Romania (that season), you can certainly lose by one goal for the best Norwegian team!

we lost away to them and beat them at home. Plus we didnt have andy johnson or yakubu 20 mils worth of strikers, we had shitty james beattie and marcus bent and old man duncan ferguson. We are now a much stronger side.

and let me tell you that was probably because our morale was so low from being knocked out of the champions league qualifiers by a cheating Ref Pierlugini Collina who dissallowed a perfectly good goal for us in villareal that would have made it 2-1 to us. because of that we got knocked out and villareal went to the semi finals of the CHAMPS LEAGUE

has Brann ever nearly beaten a side that went to champs league semi finals?

and yes our co-efficient is high cos of the league we are in, but clubb brugge would probably be a mid-table side in the Prem.

last 5 years we have finished only twice in European spots, we finished 4th ahead of Liverpool and we finished 6th.

No, we're usually stuck in the uefa cup. But for what it's worth, both our central midfielders have played in the CL semi finals ;)

And from what I can see, no one did worse against Villarreal in the champs league than Everton :p

Villarreal - Everton 2-1, 2-1
Villarreal - Man.Utd 0-0, 0-0
Villarreal - Lille 1-0, 0-0
Villarreal - Benfica 1-1, 1-0

Quote from: "md49vd"need i remind you Sk Brann finished 3rd on 4 points
Everton finished 1st with 12 points

only 1 other team achieved same feat even Bayern Munich didnt, it was Bordeaux in France

The team we beat AZ with was 18,19 year old mostly and even 1 16 year old we won 3-2 at AZ Alkmaar who made semi finals or quarter finals last year and hold the longest unbeaten home record in Europe, no other European team has a better record. Inter Milan, Barcelona, Liverpool all couldnt beat AZ Alkmaar but Everton could.

its our 5th straight win in Europe, the reason our co-efficient is so low is because we have not been Europe before except in champs league and uefa cup qualifiers which we lost a few years ago and also because Liverpool fans got us banned from Europe for 10 years when Everton was strongest European side, stronger than Madrid, the ban wasnt helpful for Everton.

i really can not find many at the the age of 18 or 19 in this team.. i know  that Vaughan came off the bench and scored the winner, he seems to be a good prospect ( Anichebe as well). but apart from those two, i can not remember that your youngsters have been given too much recognition by the press.. correct me if I am  wrong!

read this: http://www.football.co.uk/everton/collina_bent_was_the_culprit_209311.shtml

ricky teams lost to villareal by 1 goal, just like everton so..?? shows you how good they are... look at their co-efficient rating.

and Falkman

Wessels - reserve goalkeeper
Gravesen, Valente, Hibbert, Anichebe not first choice

not all youngsters played as you can imagine this is uefa cup but alot travelled and some played

http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/european/article3273217.ece

Vaughan scored winner - 19
Anichebe played 90 mins and made final goal assist - 19
Vidarsson came on - 19
Rodwell came on - 16
Jutkiewicz - 19
Boyle - 21
Irving - 19
Kissock - 18

at the final whistle on two of our first team players left on pitch: Lee Carsley defensive midfielder and Joleon Lescott central defender that was all. Rest are reserve or youth.

16 Joakim Sjöhage 6 0 0 0 - Young swedish talent that has yet to deliver.
26 Knut Walde 4 0 0 0 - Average central defender.
24 Nils Kenneth Udjus - Keeper reserve.
19 Nicolai Misje - Talent.

These players are the only 5 players that have not played for their national team, 6 if you include former Aberdeen midfielder Cato Guntveit..

At the end of this summer, we had 6 of our starting 11 on the national team of Norway. And we had both our central defenders on call for Iceland.
So don`t expect a WO, but you guys will have the advantage of beeing in the middle of your season.. When we play you, we are about 2 months shy of our season opener and ending a 2 month long gameless periode..

and yes our co-efficient is high cos of the league we are in, but clubb brugge would probably be a mid-table side in the Prem.

last 5 years we have finished only twice in European spots, we finished 4th ahead of Liverpool and we finished 6th.


Here are some of the teams we have beaten i eurocups: We sent PSV out of the tournament in 95/96, we beat Werder Bremen 2-0 at home in 98/99 (the away game we lost 0-2, and we went out after extra time in Bremen), in 97/98 we beat Grasshoppers Zürich 2-0 at home, and this year we've sent Club Brugge, Rennes and Dinamo Zagreb out of the tournament. In 95/96 we had an 1-1 draw against Liverpool at home.

Earlier we were a much better team home than away in Europe. But this season we have been better away in all rounds.

You say that Club Brugge probably would be a mid-table team in PL. Yes, and we sent them out of the tournament... Everton is only 4-5 points ahead of the mid table teams in PL... This season you've lost for teams like Villa (no 8), Newcastle (no 11) and Reading (no 12). When you can lose for these teams, you may certainly lose for Club Brugge as well!  Remember that we also sent Dinamo Zagreb out of the tournament. You may laugh of Dinamo Zagreb, but they don't in Amsterdam. Because Dinamo Zagreb sent Ajax out of the tournament in this years 1st round. Dinamo won the game in Amsterdam, but they lost in Bergen...

And we have made the record welsh (and british?) home defeat in Europe: Carmarthen - Brann 0-8. Even Liverpool didn't manage more than a 3-0 away win against the welsh team they played just months after the Champions League title win.

And its SK Brann, not FC. SK stands for SPORTSKLUBBEN.

It might be rainy. It rains all the time in Bergen. And the pitch might be frozen. I would bring good clothes, and expect a bad pitch. Many busses passes Brann Stadion, so no worries. If you get lost, just ask for directions or ask a busdriver. Every single busdriver knows where brann stadion is.

1. The ground isn't too far from downtown Bergen, so that shouldn't be a problem. Most hotels are decent, the cheapest might be Jacobs appartment (at least I think that's what it's called): http://dorm.no/index.htm which is - as the website suggests - a dorm. Cheap accomodation, cheap drinks and located only a few minutes walk from Torgalmenningen, the city square. The only drawback (perhaps) is that it's closest neighbour is the main police station. Which once was known to have Norway's slowest lift, but that is a story to it self... ;-)

2. I would recommend taking the bus, although cabs aren't too expensive from downtown Bergen, something like £11-12.

3. Yes, see #2. The ferry arrives downtown Bergen. I would recommend parking downtown and going by cab or bus to Brann Stadion (there is no place called "Brann".), as you would spend the entire first half trying to find a spot to park your car.

4. Probably 5-7C and rain. What we have all year long...

Also, you shouldn't be worried about trouble in my opinion. We're well behaved! ;-)

We should probably expect a lot more fans coming over, but lets hope they know how to behave :-D

When it comes to the question on how you get to Brann Stadion you have the following options:
-   by bus: no.20, 21, 22, 23 and 24, or 2, 31 and 50, or no.90.
-   taxi: shouldn??t cost more than 150-200 NOK.

And when it comes to ??trouble? you shouldn??t worry about other Brann supporters. We are friendly (most of us that is), but we are unfortunate to have a group of casuals following the team. These guys don??t fight ??normal? supporters, but stick to their own kind? you are not visiting Dinamo Zagreb :-)

And stick to your own section. It's funny how we allways do the same thing, but when it happens to us everybody is against it. There is allways Brann fans all over the stadium when we play away. But to be honest, I don't like it if evertonians get seats outside the away section.
Title: Brann - Everton [The English thread]
Post by: Nightfox on December 24, 2007, 02:16:53 AM
HansaInferno: The reason to that is that we are one of few teams in Norway who fill up our stadium. I reacted with anger when we did not get more tickets against Lillestrøm away. Why? Because they can't fill up their stadium on their own. There were empty seats! and not few, either! Why couln't they then give the away fans a few hundred extra seets? What happened? Instead of giving us in one whole section (The Diadora stand), fans bought tickets all over the stadium. You don't see me complain when the home team can sell out their stadium themselves. But its stupid and pointless if there are still empty seats left.

And thats why I don't like Evertonians and other supporters on our stands. We can fill it up easily ourselves. But if Brann choose to have a high ticket-price and the match is not going to be sold out, i can't see the problem in giving everton the spare tickets.

To be honest I'd rather prefer an empty seat compared to give it to an evertonian :)

You will probably be able to buy a seat which is not in the away fans section, but remember that 50% of the people living in Bergen are mix of Brann and Liverpool fans, hehe.

I know ONE Everton fan in town, but I will anyway beat him up before kick off so he will not be able to attend :p

Quote from: "efc1878"I know Everton fans will be all around your ground, are we to expect any trouble? I hope not!

Are there any decent hotels near the ground or are they all in Bergen?
Is there a train or coach service from the city to Brann?
If we come by car/coach on ferry to Bergen, is it easy to get to Brann?
Also, how cold will it be? it was -3 in Alkmaar!

Hope the games are good and supporters behave themselves!!


The ground is 4 kilometres south of the city center. There's a lot of buses passing.

The temperature averages for Bergen in February are; average minimum -1,7 - average maximum +3,3. Compared to Liverpool's average minimum +2 - avareage maximum +7. So it is a bit colder in Bergen than in Liverpool in February. But you never know. It may be everything from -8 to +8  in that time of year. But temperatures lower than -5 is not common in Bergen.

There's loads of hotels, but make sure to order in advance, hotels tend to be pretty crowded in Bergen. You will want to live in the city centre.
It is impossible to not find the stadium, just follow the crowd on to the busses. There's 10-20 different lines that pass the stadium, 30 min to walk, but it will most likely be raining.

If you try to book tickets elsewhere on our stadium, stay away from "frydenbøtribunen". Away supporters are warned against being there, because that's the side the "hardcore" supporters are, including the casuals. There has been some episodes, and there will be alot of police and security.
Chances are big that they will close the internet sale though, SK Brann don't like to mix supporters.

Our beer, Hansa, is extremely good. Make sure you go to a pub who taps Hansa, and not Ringnes, which tastes like piss.


I will be travelling to London/Liverpool with lots of mates, hoping to have a good time and take home a win. :)

You Everton-supporters will have big problems by getting tickets other places than on the avay stand. There will be no internet sale to this game, and all tickets will go to season ticket holders or will be sold in the supporters' shops. And it will be sold out a long time before you come over here. Perhaps they'll note personalia from everyone who buy a ticket, and it might be a very low number of tickets each person can buy. Which means it might be very few tickets on the black market. Anyway, if you support the wrong team on the wrong stands - you'll be thrown out. Just like in England.

This is very correct seeding as I see it. But I would do anything to play Tottenham istead of Everton in UEFA cup since you play very good nowadays. The seeding shows Brann's slim chances for going to the next round but the most stuping thing you can do is too underestimate us, we have done great things before.

Brann are better than Aberdeen, Helsingborg and Rosenborg!

Aberdeen: With exceptions for Celtic and Rangers, scottish teams are not better than us. And Aberdeen is a mid table team in Scotland.  Average players (and reserves) for Brann are almost heroes in clubs like Aberdeen and Dundee United.

Helsingborg: Swedish league have not a higher quality than Norwegian league. Probably a lower standard. Ever heard about a swedish team doing well in Europe the last 15 years? And Helsingborg finished 8th in Sweden this season!

Rosenborg: Yes, RBK did well against Valencia. But Valencia are not that good anymore. In the norwegian league Rosenborg finished 13 points behind us.

And how can they have Tottenham as number 2? Hahaha! They have Tottenham above teams like Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Everton, Hamburg, Bayer Leverkusen (who won 5-0 away vs Zürich), Fiorentina, Sporting and Benfica? It's rediculous! Tottenham is a bottom team in the league and they have no frightening past (they're not a big name in english football or in european football). Give me one reason to have Tottenham ranked as no. 2 in this seasons uefa cup!

i think its because their manager won the uefa cup in the last two seasons (Juan Ramos), they have got very good players like Berbatov and in England they are based in London so are a big team with very rich chairman. They are considered 5th best team in England after Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea by all the newspapers but in reality not many people do, especially evertonians. This season they have a poor season!! but are you telling me Brann has never had a poor season in their history!

We still have more than 20 games left in the season.

All the talks about Everton playing equal with United, is rubbish! I've found some statistics from the game:

Man Utd - Everton:

Possession: 58-42
Shots: 19-5
Shots on goal: 11-2
Corners: 8-2

Of Evertons shots only one (the goal) were from inside the 18 yards box. The 4 others were from outside. One of them were a free kick from the the center line!

Of Man.Uniteds shots were 7 from inside the 18 yard box, and 12 from outside.

So Everton are not a team playing level with United...

sometime stats tell a different story, unless you watched the game you cannot comment, 2nd half we were defending alot and our defensive display was outstanding...hence why we deserved the point, the fact is it took manchester united an 88th minute penalty to beat Everton at their own ground. Not many teams score against Man Utd away from home.. that alone is a big achievement. At least we can score against the Champions.....of England.... we shouldnt have a problem doing the same against the Champions of Norway...

Champions of England vs. Champions of Norway.... hmm which one is tougher....

anyways Merry Christmas Brann fans.

The game against Brann will be a totally different game. Everton will most likely have the ball alot, not like the game against Man Utd. It will probably be the opposite way. everton with the ball, and Brann defending. "Unfortunately" we are much better attackers than defenders, so I'll hope we'll try to play offensive football like we did away against Brugge.

So if you've been outplayed and avoided goals against just because of good defending, the game was equal and you'd deserved a draw?

So you scored a goal at Old Trafford? Well, even Derby and Boro did!

If Brann lost 1-10 at Old Trafford, I wouldn't say the game was good from our side just because they scored at Old Trafford...

Aberdeen would have had finished at the lower part of the norwegian premier league. 2 seasons ago, a reserve back of ours went to Aberdeen, where he quickly became a star. This is not a unique story, many mediocre norwegian players seek fame and fortune in Scotland, because the level is lower.

Helsingborg is easy, and definitively not better than us.

As for Rosenborg, we can beat them any day, and they can beat us. Our everton fan in here seems to put alot of weight into past results, so I might add that Rosenborg has beaten most great teams in Europe, held Chelsea to 1-1 at stamford bridge, and should have won.
And when we are a better team than Rosenborg, we can also beat many good european teams.
I really can't wait to come to Goodison park, and watch the evertonians spit out their beer when Brann gets a draw or win. Everton will treat Brann like a poor team, and underestimate us, just like Club Brugge did. They didn't take us seriously, and neither will you. :)

But we're definitively not favourites, Everton is a better team and we must struggle to win.

And I might add that both our central midfielders have played Champs league semi finals, for Leeds and Monaco. That's more than I can say for Everton....

Central Defenders are islandic nationals, yet another central defender/striker who played for Porthsmouth and Benfica, and the last striker is the best in Norway, except for John Carew perhaps.

Our goalie is norwegian national aswell, a big talent and predicted to play in a top league later.

Its irrelevant where Leeds is NOWADAYS, when we talked about the time of being, before Leeds echonomical problems. Even we, Brann, is better than leeds nowadays. So that post is just as irrelevant as my first sentence.

You just seem pathetic when you struggle to make Everton sound like one of the best footballteams in the world. We don't fear you, but we know that our chances is small, although Everton is the team we feared the least of the teams we could meet. Maybe it's a real while since you have had any success?

I want to welcome all the Evertonians to Bergen in February!

We're off season and Everton is doing well in PL so it will definitely be a difficult game for Brann. Everton is big favourites, but Brann has a chance if we can get a good result in Bergen.
 
Our best central defender, Sigurdsson, is injured with eye problems and will hopefully be ready for the game in February.  We also hope that Robbie Winters, our Scottish forward will recover from his injury in due time for the Everton-matches.  

To be honest, Brann has not played up to the potential in last UEFA-cup matches.  For the last game in Switzerland,  none of our central midfielders were available due to suspensions and injuries.  As you might know, Martin Andresen, central midfielder and captain, has left the team for a rival.

In Norway, Brann has a reputation for playing attractive and effective offensive football, i.e. through fast counter attacks.  Our forwards are quite effective and can make goals even when the team is playing below par. We also have a good goalie.  The main weakness is the defense, and in particular the sidebacks. We still haven't made any new signings for 2008, but hope to do so before the season starts.  

I'm eager to get back to Liverpool again, my last trip was back in 97 when we met Liverpool in the quarter finals of the Cupwinners cup. I don't know how many will travel from Norway, but I would expect 2-3000. Back in 97 we were 3-4000. I look forward to mingling with the Evertonians before the game. The Brann supporters are generally quite friendly and I guess that goes for the Evertonians too? Can any of you scousers recommend nice hotels and pubs in Liverpool?

Congrats with the win against Bolton.

Everton will be in-season. We'll be in the middle of pre-season. Thats the one reason why we most likely wont wipe those smug smiles of everton faces. If the oposite was true, a game in early august, Brann would most likely be the best team over two matches.

It's always an embarrassment to read posts from Brann fans desperate to talk their side up in the run-up to European fixtures, safe in the knowledge that we are possibly the worst side left in the competition (only Helsingborgs IF and Rosenborg look poorer in my book). It must be some really bad aquavita out there these days... Credit to the Evertonians on this post for having the politeness, not to mention the resilience, to even treat us as a serious contender in this tie. I do agree that Hamburg are as good as Everton, but we were not anywhere near beating them in our own ground. As for Rennes, to equate them with Everton is an insult to our English guests on this forum.

Man Utd who have won the Champions League and always in the last 32 and are always 1st or 2nd in the Premiership
Arsenal who played Barca in champs league final 2 seasons ago and always qualify

Everton are 6th... you cant really expect any higher than that unless you mean 5th... but we should get 5th in the next couple of weeks hopefully.

Number 1 in Norway is like the 10th best league in the world or something.

6th in the best league vs. 1st in the 10th best league in the world

i suspect you believe TNS who finished 1st in the Welsh League is much more of a challenge to you than Everton because TNS finished 1st in their division.

listen ok... we play very very tough sides in our league you play maybe 1 or 2 there is no comparison im afraid. Would Ballack, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Henry, Schevchenko, Torres, Cech, Fabregas, Drogba, etc... all come to the Premiership or rather play for a Norwegian team. I think that argument is finished. From memory the only famous player i know of from Norway is John Carew, Arne Riise, Solksjaer, Pedersen, Iversen, Leonardsen, Andre-Flo and Stig Inge Bjornaby and  all of them played in England.

send my regards to Erik Hagen, he will tell you Everton is a tough side, we beat his team 1-0 at Goodison Park, and they were the CHAMPIONS of RUSSIA. RUSSIA who knocked ENGLAND out of the EURO 2008... not NORWAY.

There are 4 teams that are a mile ahead of the rest of the bunch in England, Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. The rest are unstable, and not very great.
Those 4 teams cause Premier League to be among the best leagues in the world, the others aren't all that.
But that goes for many leagues ofc. In any way, just saying that Everton isn't all that great.

Everton is looked upon as a mediocre english team, atleast here in Norway. I'm sorry to say this, but few of us have much respect for Everton, and most of us hoped for Everton since you are somewhat attractive compared to teams from other countries, and because german teams are much harder to beat.
But it has to be said, Everton is a better team than Brann. Brann would maybe be 14th in Premier League.

And, as we all know, Everton has been very unstable the last 10 years, swinging from 15th to 5th/6th(can't remember which).
Absolutely a team we can beat, but like we all know, Everton are big favourites and will beat Brann 7-8 out of 10 times, in my opinion.
We need to play our very best, and Everton can't play their best.

Okay, I agree. I should have said COULD instead of SHOULD. Because Rosenborg could have won with even more luck/effectivity, they had the chances.
But Chelsea had loads of chances to do it.

I actually think Helsingborg is better than us :)

We are probably the weakest team left (RBK is shit, but got loads of eurofootball experience) and Everton is a much, much, much better side. That said, AC Milan is definitely better than Everton and RBK beat them at San Siro (about loads of years ago) :p

Stoffi: And, as we all know, Everton has been very unstable the last 10 years, swinging from 15th to 5th/6th(can't remember which)

Under our new manager he totally changed Everton!! end of 2001-2002 he joined Everton and saved us from relegation in the last few games he was manager

in 2002-2003 we finished 7th in the Prem
in 2003-2004 we finished 17th in the Prem
in 2004-2005 we finished 4th after selling Wayne Rooney at beginning of season- this was major shock to the world of football
in 2005-2006 we finished 11th
in 2006-2007 we finished 6th

so in three out of six seasons we finished in the top 8. Our manager has also won manager of the year twice. If you know english football you will know early 90's everton we always bottom half side, always near the bottom of the table. Now we are always at the top of the table.

just watching Brann on youtube and i come across Rosenborg 10 Brann 0 in 1996 lol... what happened.. never has everton lost 10-0 so this is crazy..

Also Premiership has 20 teams, and Norway has 14 teams!! much difference. The Norwegian Premier League is eighteenth in the UEFA rankings of European leagues based on their performances in European competitions over a five year period, behind Switzerland's Super League and ahead of Serbia's Superliga

Promoted as "The Greatest Show On Earth", the Premier League is the world's most popular and most watched sporting league, followed worldwide by over half a billion people in 202 countries. The Premiership was recently promoted to second in the UEFA rankings of European leagues based on their performances in European competitions over a five year period, behind Spain's La Liga and now above Italy's Serie A.

theres a major difference of opposition from 18th to 2nd best in the Europe.

also noticed from 1977-1996 Brann were never in the top 3... that is almost 20 years.

also Brann only play 26 games in a season, Everton play 38 games *12 more just in league alone..

you also lost 6 times, and conceded 39 goals and Odd Greenland who got relegated only conceded 43 goals , only 4 goals difference, tells me you are very good attacking but poor defending. Exposure in defence.

Also Rosenborg is the only major team i see in your league... the rest are average..like all the others.. Rosenborg always in Europe the others not really.. whereas in Prem at least 4 world class teams and 4-5 other good teams.

I notice you did not lose at home but you conceded a goal 10 out of 13 times at home..and when you kept a clean sheet it 2 of the 3 were against sides that got relegated... this is poor at home, great record in not losing but letting in goals and clean sheets is poor.

i notice away from home some heavy defeats like 4-0 against Fredrik and 5-1 to Lillestrom, you also lose to 3 of the bottom 5 sides away from home. When you lose away from home you lose badly or concede lots of goals, and when you win you win well and keep clean sheets or let 1 goal in. Your away form is dodgy very dodgy, you lose to bad teams and beat good sides. You lost all 6 games in your season away from home.

your top goalscoarer is Helstad with 22 goals, but the rest dont seem to score many goals in the season?? so basically mark helstad and we stop you scoring.. is the way to look at it.

so i dont think you can compare both teams as equal, everton have tougher league, more games to play and other factors...

using statistics because Brann have such good home record i think it will be tough going to Brann.. but Everton have played some good football this season and we have won all our European games away from home.. i can see either 2-0 everton or 1-1 at Brann.

Look at your away record it seems when you are losing you capitulate.. and i can see everton definately taking the lead and then scoring 3 or 4 more so i reckon 4 or 5-0 or possibly like 3-1, or 4-1.

you see i done my homework ;)... by the way great 3-0 victory at Rosenborg stadium.

Post by: Nightfox on December 27, 2007, 04:15:20 AM
HAHAHAHAAHA... You have not done your work well!!!

- we WON 4-0 against Fredrikstad
- we WON 5-1 against Lillestrøm away, Lillestrøm who many by far thought was our "real" rival to the goal
- we LOST 3-0 against Rosenborg at Lerkendal!
- And SO WHAT if we only play 26 matches in one season? What has that to do with Brann?
- Brann allways looses a couple of games against poor teams. So you might shut the fuck up about talking good about Everton - If we have our best team (which we didn't have in the group stage), "our guys will give you a hell of a beating".
- Things are getting messy in Rosenborg, and have been like that for a while.
- We sold an attacker (from our first eleven) in the middle of the season, Helstad have been here the whole year.

What are you trying to tell us?

EVERTON IS NOT A TEAM WE FEAR! You are favourites, but your team is the team we hoped for, because your team sucked the most of the teams we could get. Why are you speaking high of your rivals? You should hate them!!! Instead you are saying: "WOW, we can draw a good team like UNITED!!! WOW!! I AM PROUD". You should give a good shit in the teams ahead of yourselves, they are your rivals. Okay, i admit that Man U, Pool, Gunners and chelski is good, but you will ONLY (and I repeat: ONLY) draw or win against them on good days. Everton is FAR FAR down on the list of the best teams of the world. Not even top 20!!! In england its 4 great teams. I really fear teams like Man. City more than Everton. Glascow Rangers? Much worse than meeting you. And Premier League is not the best league in the world!! DREAM ON!!!!!!!! That time is over, for many years ago. I think german or spanish is better than english.

You can't take credits for your rivals success. You won't admit it, but you do! You should be an everton supporter, but all you do is showing off results against your worst rivals to the gold. Is it major for you to win against the four great? That just show your expectations and how small you are. With that in your minds, you will never ever win the gold again. You guys are just Everton, a mediocre english team which no one fears. Must be a pity, you are not even best in your own town......

So don't even try to convince us to fear your team - we will not. Everton was the poorest team in the bottle for us. You should fear us more - It wont be a shock if WE get knocked out, but WHAT A PITY for Everton if they get knocked out by a norwegian team. What are you then going to say on other boards? Then the situation has changed, and I can allready see you post: "Well, afterall they were the norwegian champions.... And you have heard of Eirik Bakke?? Played semi final a couple of years ago for Leeds united... In champs league, yes.."

You poor, poor boy.

3 errors in 1 sentence...I bow to you ;)

EDIT: It's also funny how you mention that we suck because we finished below top 3 in the 77-96 period (as you probably know we're champions now?), while Everton is the best now because they have gone from a lower table team to a top 10 team during the 90's...

ok i admit i read result wrong but i dont have it written out in plain to see i just interpret it wrong see..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tippeligaen_2007

but i see you lost away 6-0, 3-0, 3-0, 3-1 so you still have bad defence away from home.

and Nightfox you say Everton was easiest team you could have played...well guess what Everton only 1 out of 2 teams in Uefa Group to win all their matches, and guess what Everton are 4th best team in uefa cup according to bookmakers and the press.

and you say English league is now not the best.. well its the most watched legaue in the whole world and is ranked 2nd FACT.. what you are saying is ALL opinion. FIGHT the facts not opinions.

and also 26 matches!! SO WHAT?? OH MY GOD Are you stupid.. if a team plays only 26 matches there is less chance of injuries... less games... less work... less suspensions possibly compared to 38 GAMES!!

you play 38 GAMES in the prem and you see how good you are.

also i see you avoided the big 10-0 question and i admire you NightFox for believing you can beat everton. But the fact is Brann are simply not good enough. Brann are good in Norway but that is it. I feel you will be the ones saying 'i cant believe how good everton are they kicked our asses'. If brann win i will support Liverpool FC that is how confident i am we will win.

And i compare Everton with the Top 4 teams because they are the best teams in the league and the world some might say and so its better to compare yourselves with the best than the worst. Everton have beaten all the teams in the bottom half of the table easily this season.

1. i didnt say you sucked because of that FACT
2. No they are not the best now. We are good side now but we were the best in the 80's. We won Cups, Leagues, European Trophies. Even Brann has never won a european trophy. We have won the top league 9 times compared to 3 for Brann.

So the rest of the teams in the Prem doesn't have to face all the injuries or suspensions? :P

You say the Prem is the best league in the world. Then how come it's ranked 2nd?

I can't say i can understand what a result 11 years ago has to say about Brann today?

And finally:
1. You listed up a numerous of facts of why Everton is better than Brann.
2. Within these facts you said that a positive development, which as you mention Everton has had, is a good thing. Well, since Brann hasn't got a top 3 place from 77-96, and lost 10-0 in 96, and are now Champions in Norway, haven't we got a positive development?

Post by: Nightfox on December 27, 2007, 05:22:47 AM
You are so stupid. We have not said anything about being better than everton. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE? WE HAVE NOT SAID THAT WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU! OF COURSE 38 MATCHES IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN 26, But there is a bunch of sucky teams in the lower leagues, so probably we would be the best team anyway. But still, it has nothing to do with how good we are. In fact, we would be much better with larger league, because we would have to have a bigger squad. With only 26 matches, we can't have a big squad like you. And that is not BRANNS fault.

We HAD a defensive problem in the spring and summer. Look on how many goals we got against us in the group stage when we had Eirik Bakke, Hassan El Fakiri, Tijan Jaiteh, Sigurdsson and winters (all from the starting 11) injured (well Fakiri got suspended two matches and is not injured). With Branns small squad, thats a big achievement. You could laugh over Branns results in the group stage, but look at our bench against Basel. Our wings played central, we have a back who dont want to play here, we have no good alternative to play with Helstad, we needed new wings because our wings played central, Bjørnsson who are a striker had to play in defence because of Sigurdssons eye injury, and Guntveit, previous captain a few years ago and plays back, played the match central midfield from the start but also got injured. WHAT A MESS!!... We had no expectations, and we saw going through as a major achievement our injuries taken into count. Point is: No more defensive problems for us.

Well oh god Everton got alot of points in the group stage, so what? I do not reckon that as the toughest group, even Brann would go through from it, WITH our injury problems (and i don't say we play poor just because of our injuries, i just mention it). We don't fear your results. You're overstating. I did not avoid the 10-0 in purpose. If you want to know, we lost 9-0 at lerkendal the year before. 19-0 in two years, how silly is that? Where is the point anyway? It was our two major losses, and it was when RBK was big, no further mention. I have no problem admitting for those 13 years RBK was far up from any norwegian team. Finally, it has changed. And it's 11 years ago.

Tell me: How long time ago is it since Everton last medal?
How long time ago is it since everton last won anything?
How long time ago is it since everton last showed anything to fear? Everton is just a pointless team in premier league which no one fears. Not even BRANN SUPPORTERS. Must be a pity. You have got nothing else to show off than some UEFA results and some draws and wins against some good teams and some teams which have played good against the same good teams. In other words: NOTHING!!!

Do you REALLY MEAN that you will support Liverpool FC if we win, or is it just something you say..? I wont even get near saying "I cant believe how good everton is", because they are not. But I have allways said that Everton is better than Brann, and so it will be for a good while. So I would not be surprised if you knock us out, and if so, I will say that Everton was better than Brann. But even if, Everton is still no team which by far is so much better than us...

Brann beat all the rivals to the gold easilly this season. Can't see Everton doing the same thing. Wow, you win against Wigan and Derby, what an achievement!! We knocked and OUTPLAYED Lillestrøm two times, Stabæk two times, Viking one time, RBK one time, Fredrikstad one time and so on. All those teams I will reckon as better than the bottom half in premier league, many others too.

This Everton-fan is of the old english school: "England is the best country in the world, the english league is the best in the world", etc.

Well, we beat Birmingham 4-0 last season in a friendly. And Birmingham was a quiet good side then.

And the fact that we had no medals from 77 to 96, and we lost 0-10 vs Rosenborg in 1996... what the hell has that with 2007 to do?

The only thing you can say, is that you won all group stage games (and aganinst who?), and that you almost drew against good teams in Premier league... Wow!

And what is wrong with all you guys who think we are the worst team left in the uefa cup? We are of course better than Helsingborg (no 8 in Sweden), Rosenborg (no 5 in Norway) and Aberdden (no 6 in scotland)!

Norwegians know a lot about english football, most games are on tv, and english league games have been on norwegian tv since 1969. We know both leagues. But what the hell do you englishmen now about norwegian football? Absolutely nothing! And you still think Rosenborg are the best team, even when they finish 5th - far behind the champions. It's like saying that Liverpool are the best team in England, just because they're the only english team who have won the Champions League the last 8 years.

Your disqualified Jako. What do "best players play in their home league" to do with anything? Even if half the french national team play for Arsenal it doesnt make Everton any better. Top 4 versus the rest.

Everton is far from unbeatable. Its far from the glory that our local english wannabies want them to be.

Haugesund got to the cup final, we can beat Everton. The quality diffrence between Everton and Brann is microscopic comparet to Brann and Haugesund. The diffrence between Everton and Brann is in the pace the english players are used to, that Everton is in-season while Brann is out-of-season, and the number of quality first squad players. The quality between the first 11 is much less. And its only 11 players that can start a football match anyway.

And while we're out of season, Everton will be in a hard match periode when the UEFA matches are played. We'll most likely have every player in training, and no quarantines. Maybe Moyes will be forced to rotate his first squad? The is more chance of injury when playing a lot of matches, that can and most likely will happen to Everton too. Then the quality diffrence between the two starting squads is even less.

But hey, Jako and his wannabies can plan the walkover for what I care. Makes a eventual success even sweeter and a loss is of no real consequence for us anyway :)

Quote from: "md49vd"no offence the only team that might be able to do well in the Prem is Rosenborg and even then not even top 10

the other teams would be relegation or fight relegationn even Brann. So do  not think you can survive in Premiership. Pre-season friendly.... think the clue is in the word Friendly.


Brann is nowadays far FAR better than Rosenborg. Rosenborg has big inside problems, and the only reason you don't know about it is because you know nothing about norwegian football. The only thing you know is that they beat a poor valencia team two times and got lucky against chelsea. Rosenborg would today maybe get relegated from the premier league, but i think they still are a bit better than that. You don't have a clue about football in other countries than your own, and you still live in the 80s. English football is not the best anymore! Just look at your poor national team. They are in the same class as Norway and did not even qualify. NO EXCUSES! Norway had some bad days too, so England was just not good enough. If england and english was the best, why don't they even qualify!?!?

Your statement about Rosenborg itself shows your lack of skills. You SHOULD know that Brann is better than rosenborg, by far, because of their inside problems. And you SHOULD know that valencia has played poor the last few months.

Manchester U.   19   36 - 9        45
Arsenal               19       36 - 15   44
Chelsea              19      29 - 14   38
Liverpool      18      33 - 12   36
Manchester City   18   25 - 20       34
Everton              19      34 - 18   33
Portsmouth    19   29 - 19         31
Aston Villa      19     33 - 25   30

Everton is three points behind top four, when the season is halfway through. I doubt that Rennes would have performed at the same level if they had played in the premiership. Everton finishes sixth last year as well and won all their matches at the group stage of the UEFA tournament.

Of course Brann got a small chance. But they are off season and were pretty lucky to get through the group stages. They were totally outplayed against Hamburg and the victory against Zagreb and the point against Rennes was a huge robbery. And none of the players in the starting eleven to Brann is good enough for Everton. I would rank Brann as good championship side, and a team that is normally beaten by every side in the Premier League.

Quote from: "krøvel vellevold"Anyway: I think we Norwegians have a bit more to say when we compare the level of the english league to the level of the norwegian league! Norwegians know a lot about english football, most games are on tv, and english league games have been on norwegian tv since 1969. We know both leagues. But what the hell do you englishmen now about norwegian football? Absolutely nothing! And you still think Rosenborg are the best team, even when they finish 5th - far behind the champions. It's like saying that Liverpool are the best team in England, just because they're the only english team who have won the Champions League the last 8 years.


I don't think the majority of this forum follows English football as close that you might think.


Well, I still believe that the majority of this forum follow english football much closer than our English guests follow norwegian football....

Everton is a good team, no doubt about that. So are Brann by the way. Our big problem is that we are in the middle of pre-season in february. This will give Everton a huge advantage.

Everton is of course favourites, but i wouldnt write of our chances either. Bigger surprises occour almost every week in fotball. But as i said, our problem will be the fitness of our team in February.

A victory for Brann in the first leg at Brann Stadium would be a surprise, but hardly a shocking result. If we can manage that, anything could happen at Goodison.

Well Brann then won 6-0 on agg to the team placed 2nd, and won 6-5 in agg against number 3, 8-2 against number four, so then we must be MUCH better than ALL of those teams, with your logic solutions in mind. Of course we can't go a whole season without loosing on aggregate, and we don't even give it a thought because its not a knock out, you get nothing from it. Its just pointless comparing.

We also lost 4-2 on aggregate to Tromsø, we won 4-3 on aggregate against Vålerenga, won 5-1 on aggregate against Fredrikstad, lost 7-3 on aggregate against Lyn, won 7-3 on aggregate against Strømsgodset and so on. What does this statistics show? Brann outplayed every single rival to the gold. Rosenborg is mediocre and every mediocre team can take points from the top four teams every now and then.

Study Rosenborg for an hour or two.. Look at their statistics away from home, for example. The only thing you know about them is that they USED TO play in europe and USED TO be any good and they USED TO win the norwegian premiership. Nowadays Rosenborg is Norways answer to Everton in England. Its just an annoying itch. No one gives it a thought without themselves, no one cares about them. They can't even make a norwegian team fear them, although they have our respect.

SOOOO??? They were best in PAST! Brann are best NOW! What you're saying is like saying Liverpool is the best team in England because they won "everything" in the PAST!

Rosenborg won in aggregate? Hello? What's your point? Is the league actually a cup competition? We finished 13 points ahead of them! Your arguments just get poorer and poorer!

Next season it can change again, although Rosenborgs problems grow deeper and deeper and I can't see them in the top 3 next year either, anyhow, we talk about NOW, we talk about 2007 and forward to february 2008!! We dont talk about next season, we don't talk about 1996, we dont talk about the 80s and we dont talk about year 2020.. We talk about who would survive in Premier League NOWADAYS. And Brann certainly would be ahead of Rosenborg. If we talk about how the teams are JUST NOW, Brann are ahead of Rosenborg, its only your lack of knowledge who says the opposite.

We know Everton, stupid. We don't need to watch another game to judge them although we know them allready. Not like you who just type in one or two losses, look at some recent results and then says RBK is the only team who would survive in Premier League. You know nothing. What do you know about Tromsø? Why wouldn't they survive? Because they only have 5-6 000 spectators? What do you know about Lillestrøm? What do you know about Viking? What do you know about Molde? Just shut the fuck up, you know nothing. You know nothing about Branns level, you know nothing about RBKs level, you don't even know that english football is not the best football anymore. You live in your own little dreamworld. Study your own team first and get to know your own level before you comment OURS after a few youtube-clips. Everton is not as good as you want it to be, I'm sorry.

No, I've read all your posts, and almost everyone including myself agrees that you do not have a single clue about norwegian football.

Thats just as stupid as saying that the teacher's allways right, or saying "He played a good game" - " Why?" - "Because THE SUN SAYS SO!!!".

I don't know the list you talk about, do you have a link? Is it just some "experts" list of how they rank the european leagues? If so - the list is very subjective, its one or a couple guys opinion. Worth nothing.

Although I can understand that Norway & norwegian league is ranked 18th if it has something to do with ranking points, how far our national team reaches in international championships, how well teams from our country does it in europe, and so on. But you are telling me otherwise: You say that it's "the experts list".... The experts lists is worth NOTHING, not even the paper its written on.

If the moderators arguments in some other threads still counts, then he should be kicked form the forum long time ago. It was interesting, now its annoying.

We will never agree on which team is the best, and i don't think we will after the games in feb either. This is because we will be in our pre season shape and our field will be shit. Both teams suporters will have loads of excuses if they loose.

But one thing do we have to give this english person, the english league is better then the norwegian. But that does not mean that theres not a couple of teams in Norway that is better then Everton, or would survive in the premiership.

Talking about historical facts is just retarded. IFK Gothenburg has won the UEFA cup twice. We are a better team then them now. So what does it prove? Shit. And to be true, i would be proud if we beat Everton, and i will bragg to my english mates if we do. But even if we loose i will only care about my own team. And i wont go to other teams forums to try to convince them of how good we are. You can do that to asian kids, but not to northeren football suporters.

All your rubbish talks about Branns level becuase we didn't achieve a top 2 spot between 75 and 97, and Rosenborg won 10-0 in 1996, Rosenborg are better than us, and so on. SO WHAT? We are in 2007 now! And by the way: What the hell have Everton achieved compared to Liverpool through the years? And who the fuck cares about that now?

Post by: md49vd on December 28, 2007, 06:02:38 AM
i do not under estimate brann

for instance
Brann Leauge winners 2007, where Rosenborg, who won their 2 matches against Valencia and played 1-1 with Chelsea at Stamford Birdge placed 6th. - They have former Leeds star Eirik Bakke on their team. - They got one of our transfer targets, Thorstein Helstad as their top goal scorer this season, with 22 goals in the leauge. - In 1996(98?) they played against Liverpool in the European Supercup. As Liverpool is a big team in Norway, many of the Brann supportes had Liverpool kits and scarfs with them at Anfield. - They have Hassan El-Fakiri, former Monaco player, (played there in the season when they lost to Porto in the Champs Leauge final) - They have the Norwegian National team player Håkon Opdal as their goalkeeper. He is a hot transfer targets for clubs all over Europe. - They have Erik Huseklepp on the wing, who was targeted by Sven Gøran Eriksson and Mancherster City. The Norwegian national team Captain left SK Brann in December 2007 (this year), on the Bosman Rule, to join Vålerenga, as a playing Manager. - They have two Iclandic Center defenders who both played for Iceland national team in their Euro 2008 qualifying matches, against teams like Spain.

Brann have managed to advance in the UEFA cup with almost a B-team. When Everton meet them in February Brann will be a much better team, new players, fit players and motivated players. Although Everton is a great team, it's important for the players to prepare as though they were meeting Chelsea FC. Rosenborg, the other Norwegian team are currently in a crisis, they can't manage to provide a decent coach, and the players are extremely unmotivated, according to Norwegian Media. Bottom line: Brann is a godd team(better the Rosenborg)!!

i cant wait for this game and wish it could be played now but we have to wait unfortunately

We played Metalist in the first round and I would say that those games were tougher than any of the group games. You will be a tough opposition. Does anybody know what is happening with tickets? Will we be able to buy any over in Norway? If you lot sell your allocation at Goodison I am prepared to buy some tickets for your fans for that game and you do the same for me in Norway? If anyone is interested in doing this let me know. We're not after any trouble - just beer and football!

Will we be able to buy any over in Norway?
My guess is that the match will be sold out pretty quick and all tickets (except away supporter tickets) will only be available in the Brann supporter shop. Probably possible to buy some black market tickets in Norway. Of course at high price, but you are used to high ticket prices anyway, hehe :)

Portsmouth    19   29 - 19         31
Aston Villa      19     33 - 25   30

Everton is three points behind top four, when the season is halfway through. I doubt that Rennes would have performed at the same level if they had played in the premiership. Everton finishes sixth last year as well and won all their matches at the group stage of the UEFA tournament.

Of course Brann got a small chance. But they are off season and were pretty lucky to get through the group stages. They were totally outplayed against Hamburg and the victory against Zagreb and the point against Rennes was a huge robbery. And none of the players in the starting eleven to Brann is good enough for Everton. I would rank Brann as good championship side, and a team that is normally beaten by every side in the Premier League.


Shut up Jako!

Men hvorfor gå til det skritt å finne norske spesialtegn når du ikke engang har tålmodighet nok til å stave riktig på ditt eget morsmål? Det er en kjent sak at norske fotballsider er belemret med en to-tre moroklumper som liker å opptre som andre personer, og som går virkelig inn i rollen sin.

Dette med saken i LSK i friskt minne om noen skulle være skeptiske. Det var vel også ett par supersupportere på VG-Nett som avslørte seg selv i 2007. Denne "engelske" karakteren er av samme skolen. Se hvordan det skrives, det er Borgersen og Galiatmyra opp av dage. Stråmyhr er samme typen, for dum til å være helt riktig. Denne mdfyren er kanskje genuin vare, men det er lettere å opptre under engelsk IP-adresse enn å finne norske spesialtegn...

Så legger du til at denne luringen prøver å fremstå som en med hodet langt opp i Everton-ræven, ærke-engelskmann som driter en lang vei i om Bergen ligger i Norge, Sverige eller Island, og tenker etter hva oddsen er for å ta seg tid til å bruke norske tegn.

Det er jo uansett bare snakk om tre-fire spillernavn. Det ville jeg gjort hvis jeg hadde gått inn på en Everton-side og diskutert spillere som f.eks. Yakubu Aiyegbeni eller Lukas Jutkiewicz.

Soon he will come in here end tell about Evertons fantastic achievement against Arsenal, which proves that Everton probably is the best team in the world.

An other point is the fact that Everton are going to play Arsenal (just now), Boro, City, Wigan, Spurs, Blackburn, Reading in the league, Oldham in the FA Cup, and Chelsea in the league cup, before they play Brann. That's 9 games vs 8 teams. Does he write as much on the forums to those teams, as he does here? Why doesn't he focus on the upcoming games in stead of a game two months ahead?

Humm... Has Everton even got a win against a team who is placed over mid-table? They have got some draws, but i read in a newspaper here in norway that Evertons 6th place is because they have played well against poor teams. I'm not telling that Everton does not deserve their 6th place, but it proves Evertons level that they can win against Derby, Birmingham and Fulham, but not win against the top four. It proves that England have 4 teams which is outstanding, and they are miles ahead of the last 16.

Hahaha! Listen here, my clown: You are the one who have told us that Everton are the best team in Premier League, and the one who wanted us to watch Everton - Arsenal just so we could see how fantastic Everton are! You are the one who have been proud after each Everton game after the draw, and have been talking about your "fantastic" achievements vs United ("we lost, but we deserved a draw"), and a 2-0 home win vs Bolton - number 16 on the table! Look on the table! You are number six - 14 pts behind the league leader already, you are behind Man..City, and you are one the same level as Villa and Portsmouth! It is really not impressing!

Anyway: You have 6 more league games, at least 1 more FA cup game, and at least 2 more league cup games before the Brann game. You are to meet 8 different teams in 9 games before playing Brann. Do you use as much time on their forums as well?

md49vd, there is no way you can trick us by bragging. Most of us know as much about premier league as you do, many watch premier league football every week. We KNOW what Everton is, and everton is a going-nowhere-team who can be close to relegation one year, and 6th the next year. You are a jojo team that never wins.
The fact that Rooney went from Everton to United, only shows what a small club you are compared to the big ones.
Hamburg and Rennes are better teams than you, I am absolutely sure. Few can beat the top 4, but many, many teams in europe can beat those below.
Just a few years ago, I would rank Rosenborg equal/ahead of everton. We are better than Rosenborg now, so we have absolutely got a good chance.

Everton is a backyard club, living in the shadow of their big brother, Liverpool.

interesting you say that, i been reading about Brann's Manager

'Mons Ivar Mjelde - In January 2003, after only one year's experience as a coach, Mons Ivar Mjelde was appointed head coach in SK Brann. The following season, Mjelde led Brann to a number 6 position in the premiership. The year after he led the club to a bronze medal in the premiership and cup victory, Brann's first trophy in 22 years. The 2005 season, however, was a big disappointment. The objective was premiership gold and a new cup final, but Brann only managed a number 6 position in the Tippeligaen and was eliminated in the cup quarter final. Even if the 2006 season looks to be a glory one, Mjelde is still much criticized in the press and among the fans for his lack of tactical skills. Spending a lot and never giving up his "happy-go-lucky" attitude surly makes him a controversial coach.

In 2007, his coaching career hit new heights when he took Brann to their first league title in 44 years.

surely this is like Everton then if everton go up and down, Brann are up and down in last couple of seasons too?

He might even tell us all Everton results even after we've beaten them, just to prove that Everton really are better than us!

Anyway, I guess he gives score service on the forums to all Premier League teams as well. So he has an awful lot to do.

Everton beat Boro? Must prove that Everton really are the best team in the world!

Come on here, 5th place in PL is a very awesome performance!

Everton has done good season, and deserve the position. I think Liverpool will go on a fine win row now in the future if they get some reinforcements in defence. Arsenal will do the same.

But I hope as hell Chelsea and ManU loses all upcoming matches! And draw in the internal.

Happy New Year Liverpool City!

Quote from: "Stoffi"I'll say it again, both our central midfielders played CL semi finals.


Helstad would be good enough for any team below top 4. And for the record, top 4 is 50 miles ahead of the rest of the teams, though the point doesn't show it yet.

md49vd, you only proved my point. Everton is like a jojo. 6th one year, 13th the next year.

Absolutely a team Brann can beat.


interesting you say that, i been reading about Brann's Manager

'Mons Ivar Mjelde - In January 2003, after only one year's experience as a coach, Mons Ivar Mjelde was appointed head coach in SK Brann. The following season, Mjelde led Brann to a number 6 position in the premiership. The year after he led the club to a bronze medal in the premiership and cup victory, Brann's first trophy in 22 years. The 2005 season, however, was a big disappointment. The objective was premiership gold and a new cup final, but Brann only managed a number 6 position in the Tippeligaen and was eliminated in the cup quarter final. Even if the 2006 season looks to be a glory one, Mjelde is still much criticized in the press and among the fans for his lack of tactical skills. Spending a lot and never giving up his "happy-go-lucky" attitude surly makes him a controversial coach.

In 2007, his coaching career hit new heights when he took Brann to their first league title in 44 years.

surely this is like Everton then if everton go up and down, Brann are up and down in last couple of seasons too?


Brann ended at 12th place in 2002 and had BIG economical problems and were very close to bankruptcy, and needed qualification matches to still play in tippeligaen, AFTER that, just the YEAR after, Brann placed 6th one point behind the fourth place.. Since that, Brann hasn't been below that. You cant say that WE'RE some kind of a "yoyo"-team when we actually manages to stay inside top 5, when your own team acts much worse from season to season.

That's silly. Brann was close to bankruptcy when Mjelde took over. After he took over we've been on one helluva ride upwards with a stronger and stronger team, and eventually topping it as premiership champions. Try comparing the Mjelde-period with the periods of our past coaches.

Mjelde received criticism because, for many supporters, only the gold was good enough. Mjelde conducted (and still does) an ideology of something known as "stein på stein" (step by step), meaning he would take things slowly and not swallowing too much at once.

Clear?

Quote from: "md49vd"i think its because their manager won the uefa cup in the last two seasons (Juan Ramos), they have got very good players like Berbatov and in England they are based in London so are a big team with very rich chairman. They are considered 5th best team in England after Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea by all the newspapers but in reality not many people do, especially evertonians. This season they have a poor season!! but are you telling me Brann has never had a poor season in their history!

We still have more than 20 games left in the season.

As a Brann supporter, I have great respect for Everton, and I don't think that we will advance to the next round, but as a Tottenham fan, i don't have so much respect for Everton. You say you beat Tottenham 3-1 away this season, yeah you did, but SPurs were in terrible shape then, and we still had Martin Jol as our manager, terrible manager. Juande Ramos is one of the best managers in the buisniss and I think that Tottenham is a better team then Everton.

Of Course Everton are huge favorittes in the two matches against Brann, cause we are in pre-season and aren't fit for a match against a big-team like Everton. I hope you enjoy your trip to Bergen, and please stop the arguing here, let's just have a good time. But dont you find it kinda weird that Brann could be in the Champions League next season while Everton don't participate in any European Competition next season(Might happen you know)? And this is not an attempt to start yet another fight!

Apparently he can play in the UEFA, he's only cup tied in the CL. You can not play in the same competition, but you can sign one player who has played in the other competition. they were talkin about berbatov and anelka going to chelsea or united and if they could be played as they have both played in uefa, and it said that they can. Last year Liverpool were aloud to play Mascherano in the CL after he had already played for West Ham in the UEFA. You have to apply for it from UEFA as you can only have one player who has played in the other competition.

Where is our Everton-supporter now? I mean, they almost beat Oldham! They actually outplayed them! Possession: 58-42, shots: 10-9, shots on goal: 2-5, corners: 6-4. In other words: They'd at least deserved a draw against one of the best teams in.... the outskirts of Manchester! Oldham are one of the 13 best teams in 1st division. And last time I checked it out (1991), 1st division was the superior league level in England!

Oldham are great this season! They've recently beaten Leeds who played CL semi final a few years ago. And they drew against Nottingham Forest who won the league winners cup twice about 30 years ago! Yes, Oldham have even beaten Millwall this season! So I'm sure Everton are satisfied with this good result, even if they lost the game.

But i hear we might be signing Fernandes on loan perhaps tommorow and its the transfer window in england so there may be some new players before the game.

Everton are deffinantly better than Brann on paper, and sureley in general to, but the match isn't decided before the ref blows his wistle;) You aren't an impossible team to beat, we do have a chance, but you are obviously the favourite by far.

Quote from: "Nightfox"EVERTON IS NOT A TEAM WE FEAR! You are favourites, but your team is the team we hoped for, because your team sucked the most of the teams we could get. Why are you speaking high of your rivals? You should hate them!!! Instead you are saying: "WOW, we can draw a good team like UNITED!!! WOW!! I AM PROUD". You should give a good shit in the teams ahead of yourselves, they are your rivals. Okay, i admit that Man U, Pool, Gunners and chelski is good, but you will ONLY (and I repeat: ONLY) draw or win against them on good days. Everton is FAR FAR down on the list of the best teams of the world. Not even top 20!!! In england its 4 great teams.I really fear teams like Man. City more than Everton. Glascow Rangers? Much worse than meeting you. And Premier League is not the best league in the world!! DREAM ON!!!!!!!! That time is over, for many years ago. I think german or spanish is better than english.

You can't take credits for your rivals success. You won't admit it, but you do! You should be an everton supporter, but all you do is showing off results against your worst rivals to the gold. Is it major for you to win against the four great? That just show your expectations and how small you are. With that in your minds, you will never ever win the gold again. You guys are just Everton, a mediocre english team which no one fears. Must be a pity, you are not even best in your own town......

So don't even try to convince us to fear your team - we will not. Everton was the poorest team in the bottle for us. You should fear us more - It wont be a shock if WE get knocked out, but WHAT A PITY for Everton if they get knocked out by a norwegian team. What are you then going to say on other boards? Then the situation has changed, and I can allready see you post: "Well, afterall they were the norwegian champions.... And you have heard of Eirik Bakke?? Played semi final a couple of years ago for Leeds united... In champs league, yes.."

You poor, poor boy.

How could that be funny? Just because you won 1-0 against them? And YOU GUYS are telling US that Rosenborg is a team you fear, but not us!?!?! Even if we win against them and places miles ahead of them!?!?!?! It's still my opinion. I reckon Man. City as a better team than Everton. 1-0 does not prove anything, or does it? And if you wonder, i also reckon Newcastle and Blackburn as better teams than Everton, no matter what a mid-season table says.

Or am I mistaking? If so, are we then better than you if we knock you out 1-0 on agg? And we can't forget: Is OLDHAM better than you just because they won? So please, stop that stupidity, the only one you're knocking out is yourself. For the only thing that matters to you is the numbers on the results, and then Evertons losses should matter just as much..

Ja det er noe i det der! De har vel så lyst å være bedre enn de røde, men vet så inderlig godt selv at ikke de er det! For øvrig er det rart at Wenger sier dette når arsenal statistisk sett er bedre på goodison enn på anfield. Siden 99 har arsenal 6 seire og er bedre enn everton på goodison innbyrdes, mens de på samme tid er dårligere enn liverpool på anfield (4 seire mot liverpools 5). Egentlig bryr ikke dette noe særlig, men evertonsupporterne begynner å bli vel eplekjekke her nå...

Until then, we'd like to pretend our stadium's not a patchwork by showing you evening photos from a different angle :)

Brann completed a £900.000 deal for the 28-year-old forward Njogu Demba-Nyrén today. His Danish team is struggling, and he apparently wanted to move to a club where he could win trophies and play in the European cups.
I'm sure he will get to play against Everton in February.

Brann is about to sign Gylfi Einarsson, an icelandic former Leeds player. This will be a much needed addition since 2 out of 3(4) central midfielders are injured, and will not be playing against Everton.
So basically, our central midfield will be composed of 2 former Leeds players when we play against you. The gambian super talent Jaiteh and the former Monaco player Hassan El Fakiri are the injured ones.

As for our strikers, it seems like our scottish striker Robbie Winters will be injured also, but we have managed to get a very good replacement, Nyrên, who is a gambian national player, who grew up in sweden. A very strong player, with a good shot. He is also said to be quick.

The other striker, is Torstein Helstad, which Everton was interested in some weeks ago. He is the second best striker in Norway, after John Carew, but is a different player.

Our central defenders will most likely be ?rn Sigurdsson and Azar Karadas. ?rn is a national player in Iceland, and extremely good. Azar Karadas has played for Porthsmouth and Benfica, plus Rosenborg.

Our wingers will surprise you alot, unless they have a bad day. 2 of the 3 are talents, and are forecasted great futures.

Away fans sometimes gather with the home fans at Fotballpuben (in the street leading up to the large, red church). Some fans won't be allowed near Fotballpuben, but I don't see a problem in the Everton fans coming.

Some pubs won't allow football fans inside (at least not the dressed up ones), but pubs like The Scotsman should be fine. I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by cheap, that word is kinda unknown in Norway.

Getting to the city downtown from the airport is easy enough. Take the airport bus (Flybussen) and step off near hotel SAS Norge. It takes 35 minutes. http://www.flybussen.no/bergen/

Evertonians will probably organize their own pubs, there isn't enough room at our pub, though it is a large one.


There will be plenty of pubs downtown, though "the English Pub" is no longer around. It's just scottish and irish ones left, plus heaps of other pubs.
The area with pubs downtown ain't very big and you can reach all pubs within a 10 min walk.

You can only buy tickets to the game in our local Brann stores, to prevent evertonians from buying tickets where they shouldn't be. Away tickets are organized by yourselves.

You're lucky, it seems like the sun will visit Bergen next week, a high pressure front is coming in, pushing away the bloody rain. Maybe you bring with you some good fortune. ;)

While in Bergen, you should go drink at Fløyen, a view point on a mountain. Bring your own beer, it's too expensive to buy any there, the restaurant is among the most expensive in Bergen.

And while you're at it, you can visit the Aquarium, which is now more of a Zoo with reptiles and monkeys and stuff.

Eh..?! If youre Irish you sound Irish of course. The staff in Finnegans consists of a few Irish, a few English, and a few South Africans btw. They also work in The British Lion next door to Finnegans. Finnegans is a quality pub. The British Lion is good for watching sports, cheaper beer before 7 or 8pm. Other good pubs are Dubliner (right next to the Funicular that takes you up to the Fløyen mountain) and Fotballpuben (will be packed all day Wednesday with Brann supporters, nice pub if you like your drink like me, cheap beer before 7pm). Skipperstuen and Vågen (formerly Børsen) for alcoholics and old people. Avoid Scruffy Murphys if youre not a millionaire.

But I thought Finnegans had a strickt no football jersey-policy, I didnt get in with my nice red one, I dont think blue is gonna make any differense, but who knows maybe I went there on the wrong day.

Well they actually have, but when we played Glentoran in July 2006 the Irish were in there with their football tops, scarves, hats and whatever for 3 days drinking, and as far as I remember Finnegans were more than happy to take their money. The same will prob be the case now. I would defo recommend Everton fans to give it a try when I hear that Champions is "their" pub in Bergen, as the place is absolutely crap. Or go to some of the pubs I mentioned in the post above here. Tuesday, Thursday & Friday I would go to Fotballpuben (The Football Pub) if any of them are staying for a few days.

9 of the spots are certain:

Opdal

Dahl - Sigurdsson - Bjarnason - Hanstveit

Huseklepp - Solli - Bakke - Vaagan Moen

Helstad - Karadas

This is how we've played the last two matches, and what "everybody" thought was the certain starting 11. However, El Fakiri and Demba-Nyrén have recuperated from their injuries faster than anyone thought they would. El Fakiri plays central midfield: If he plays, Solli will most likely play his usual right wing, pushing Huseklepp out of the team. Demba-Nyrén is a striker competing with Karadas for the spot (at least for these two games).

For those who never heard of any of these players:


Opdal = National player, first choice keeper

Dahl = a few caps for Norway

Sigurdsson = Islandic national

Bjarnasson = Islandic national, both these two are first choices for Iceland

Hanstveit = Man U sniffed at him long ago, Wolverhampton almost bought him recently. We find him mediocre. A few caps.

Solli = An excellent winger. National Player, Rosenborg player in the past.

El Fakiri = Former Monaco, played CL Semi final.

Eirik Bakke = Former Leeds. Played CL Semi final

Vaagan Moen = Norwegian Talent. A few caps.

Helstad = Former Austria Wien. Excellent attacker, national player and norways second best striker after John Carew.

Karadas = Former Benfica and Porthsmouth player. Is a central defender, but also very good as striker. some caps.

AJ will definately start Chris, he may not be scoring, but his work ethic is enough for Moyes to pick him regardless...he scored against Alkmaar within 1 minute.

Anyway, was out and about all nite, and had a few beers with a few Evertonias, and got pissed. Every nite i get pissed is a good nite, so was a good nite!

This description is rather optimistic on the Brann player's behalf, and more a result of wishful thinking than based on facts. Bjarnasson does not play for the Islandic national team. He decided to concentrate on Brann, since he was tired of travelling with the national team without playing matches.

Our central line with Opdal, Sigurdsson,  Bakke and Helstad has good international quality. The rest of the team has good quality in Norwegian standard.

Our left and right defense in mediocre. Sentral defense is good. Midfield has good working ability, but internationally lacks ball handeling ability and creativity. Strikers are good especially Helstad. Karadsas wants to play central defense but plays striker, in lack of other good alternatives (injuries). He has suffered from ME (Myalgisk encefalopati) and is yet to find himself 100% fit.

Vaughan's pace and aggressive style is capable of causing us a lot of trouble. Hopefully Brann won't make the same mistake as we always do. Defending deep and long passes, hoping that Helstad could run off some defenders. In order to gain anything from the match we have to close down Everton's midfield early, and try to attack on the wings. Hopefully Sigurdsson can match the pace of AJ and Vaughan.

Good luck, Evertonians.

0-2 hurts..

But i'm impressed that we managed to look so sharp considering we were off-season! We had a lot of good attacks, and the most important thing, our midfield looked strong again! Our midfield has been our weakest link this UEFA-cup because of injuries and loss of playmaker and so on! But today we managed to play the ball, though some bad passes ofc.

But it was a good game to watch, but 0-1 would have been so much better than 0-2.. 0-2 came just in a time we had a period of domination..

But that's the 'beauty' of the game isn't? :)

But wp, Everton, you did the job, scoring goals.

Btw, we'll get you at Goodison after pens!

Translated(roughly):

Another well put match report from the Independent:

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/sk-brann-0-everton-2-anichebe-adds-gloss-as-everton-ride-luck-782110.html

Regarding the first goal, it looked a clear cut free-kick from the Hansa end, but  from the referee's position the challenge on Eldar Vaagan appeared a bit more innocuous. The linesman should have flagged, though.

You beat a team you hadn't even heard about 2 months ago, and that make you so happy that you have to invade the pitch? What an achivement to beat Brann!!!

Good game, Evertorians. Sadly for us, the last goal ruined it for us. With 0-1 we could've come to Goodison hoping to get underestimated, like Club Brugge did. But that's football. Too bad the snooker ball incident and the fact that some of your fans invaded the pitch ruined things for us. Our financial status is good, but the expected fines by UEFA are probably big. And I'm disappointed with your singing during the game, a small group of Hamburger fans made a lot more sound than you.

See you in Champions League in August.

Watch it again, his foot gets to the ball first, and the bodies collide.. no foul, if it was a foul id be furious because there is no foul.

anyways...Good game and good effort from both sides. I am not so sure how our midfield would have done without bakke. Helstad showed that he is not used to defenders marking him so tightly as the everton defenders did, so for the next game he should try to shoot more quickly.

The free-kick was debatable, which is also why we should accept that the referee didn't give it, and certainly from the ref's position it did look innocuous. The offside though, was unbelievable. The linesman was on line with Anichebe yet he failed to raise his flag, which doesn't do much to eliminate my prejudices against match officials from Eastern Europe. Also I don't think we should drop to the level of the Everton forums, where some of us Brann lads were banned because our definition of "friendly banter" didn't suit the pompous moderators.

Yes, the two players collide, but the Everton player has a much higher speed than the Brann player and he runs into him and brings him to the ground. Nobody would have said much if the whistle had gone in that situation. But then again; we've all seen far more obvious situations that have passed as well.

If it only was that situation I wouldn't mind too much, but when there's an obvious offside at 0-2 you've got to understand our frustration. I can imagine the uproar from English fans and media if it was the other way around.

You can take the ball, and knock down the guy in the same tackle, it's still a foul.

The atmosphere we norwegians use too think is a big part of english football, just isnt there anymore! (at least in 90% of the games). If you Brann fans could get at least 10 % of the fantastic comments in this link, it would be great for norwegian football!!

We can't bother with what Klanen has achived abroad. We are only bringing about 1500 - 1600 over there, and my guess is that to many of them won't sing. We'll see, I just have a bad feeling, but I hope that we can just have some fun when we are there, because I don't believe that we can get a result on the field. Chanting and singing, but we are very scared of looking like Kanaris, so I guess we won't :)

I believe that Bataljonen would recommend people to be quiet and a little bit angry just because they are scared of sounding like Kanaris.

So you think this was the first time norwegian supporters got respect in England?

When we played Liverpool at Anfield in 97, the Liverpool-supporters at Centenery Stand gave us standing ovations after the game, and many of them said that we were the best away supporters who had been there since the LFC- Genova game in 92. The only difference is that the Oslo-papers/VIF fanzines VG and Dagbladet didn't write about it. But Bergens Tidende wrote about it.

In 97 we were 2000 over there. Last week it was sold 1500 tickets to the Brann sector, and now I've heard it's sold 2000.

Obviously you are the better team with more routine and heaps of experience, but give us some time to adjust to playing in Europe, and maybe we'll win even more then, than we will on Goodison next week. (if that made any sense)

Quote from: "Nightfox"You are so stupid. We have not said anything about being better than everton. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE? WE HAVE NOT SAID THAT WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU! OF COURSE 38 MATCHES IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN 26, But there is a bunch of sucky teams in the lower leagues, so probably we would be the best team anyway. But still, it has nothing to do with how good we are. In fact, we would be much better with larger league, because we would have to have a bigger squad. With only 26 matches, we can't have a big squad like you. And that is not BRANNS fault.

We HAD a defensive problem in the spring and summer. Look on how many goals we got against us in the group stage when we had Eirik Bakke, Hassan El Fakiri, Tijan Jaiteh, Sigurdsson and winters (all from the starting 11) injured (well Fakiri got suspended two matches and is not injured). With Branns small squad, thats a big achievement. You could laugh over Branns results in the group stage, but look at our bench against Basel. Our wings played central, we have a back who dont want to play here, we have no good alternative to play with Helstad, we needed new wings because our wings played central, Bjørnsson who are a striker had to play in defence because of Sigurdssons eye injury, and Guntveit, previous captain a few years ago and plays back, played the match central midfield from the start but also got injured. WHAT A MESS!!... We had no expectations, and we saw going through as a major achievement our injuries taken into count. Point is: No more defensive problems for us.

Well oh god Everton got alot of points in the group stage, so what? I do not reckon that as the toughest group, even Brann would go through from it, WITH our injury problems (and i don't say we play poor just because of our injuries, i just mention it). We don't fear your results. You're overstating. I did not avoid the 10-0 in purpose. If you want to know, we lost 9-0 at lerkendal the year before. 19-0 in two years, how silly is that? Where is the point anyway? It was our two major losses, and it was when RBK was big, no further mention. I have no problem admitting for those 13 years RBK was far up from any norwegian team. Finally, it has changed. And it's 11 years ago.

Tell me: How long time ago is it since Everton last medal?
How long time ago is it since everton last won anything?
How long time ago is it since everton last showed anything to fear? Everton is just a pointless team in premier league which no one fears. Not even BRANN SUPPORTERS. Must be a pity. You have got nothing else to show off than some UEFA results and some draws and wins against some good teams and some teams which have played good against the same good teams. In other words: NOTHING!!!

Do you REALLY MEAN that you will support Liverpool FC if we win, or is it just something you say..? I wont even get near saying "I cant believe how good everton is", because they are not. But I have allways said that Everton is better than Brann, and so it will be for a good while. So I would not be surprised if you knock us out, and if so, I will say that Everton was better than Brann. But even if, Everton is still no team which by far is so much better than us...

Brann beat all the rivals to the gold easilly this season. Can't see Everton doing the same thing. Wow, you win against Wigan and Derby, what an achievement!! We knocked and OUTPLAYED Lillestrøm two times, Stabæk two times, Viking one time, RBK one time, Fredrikstad one time and so on. All those teams I will reckon as better than the bottom half in premier league, many others too.

You played well today, GL against Fiorentina, and enjoy this night, instead of rubbing it in our faces, we are sad enough as it is! :)

Quote from: "Cahill"Fiorentina will certainly be a hard game, but we've won 7 european matches in europe, and if rosenborg can score in Italy we must have a good chance even if we lose or draw to win at home, like we did against you

im sure you never expected 6-1, maybe 2-0 or 3-0 but 6-1 never...now you know how strong we are, try not to underestimate us

we beat nurnberg 2-0 away who nearly beat BENFICA
we beat Zenit St Petersburg who beat VILLAREAL
and we beat AZ Alkmaar away


But Rosenborg pulled a draw agains Chelsea in the UCL, wich means they drawed a team that Everton would loose to. And since Fiorentina beat Rosenborg, Fiorentina should beat Everton since they beaten a team whom drawed Chelsea. Just putting it the way you do here..

O.o

You cant compare stuff like this.. Liverpool lost to Everton right? And Liverpool beat Inter. So in your way of comparing. Everton will beat Inter since they beat Liverpool?

Nobody undereestimated Everton, you were clear favorites. So you beat us off.season so what? Last february we lost 4-0 to an mediochre islandic team, we still won the league. Your clearly starved for sucsess, since you are listing up results. What is more important for you now is to cling unto that 4th place so you can get into the cl althought thats unlikely. Good luck  against Fiorentna, but loose the false smugness, its not very becoming.

Even if one cannot excuse a 1-8 aggregate defeat, It's confusing stuff to read the match reports from last evening's game. According to British newspaper Guardian, for example, Everton had 10 shots on target yesterday, which now means that they have scored 8 goals from 14 shots on target overall in this tie. The conclusions to be drawn then is that Everton either have a couple of very good strikers or that they have been exceptionally effective in front of goal in these matches. To compare, in the Premiership this season they have scored 41 goals from 116 shots on target, which gives a shots on target/goals ration of almost 3. To compare, over the two legs against Brann, this ratio is 1,75. To sum up, Everton deservedly through, but courtesy of a ridiculously flattering aggregate score. Cahill would do well to follow the example of the Everton players, who appears to take a prosaic view on this route into the last 16. The alternative, I reckon, is a brutal reality check in Florence.

Not at all. I rate Everton as one of the top three sides left in the competition. I'd be very surprised if the trophy didn't go to Germany (Bayern or Hamburg) or England (Everton, possibly Tottenham). Everton's 8-1 aggregate win doesn't really reflect the tie very well, which I think (from the post-match interviews) most of the Everton players and staff realised. Also, crucial decisions went aganist Brann throughout, and having seen the Carsley-Demba Nyren incident in replay, I am appalled the referee failed to penalise the Everton midfielder.

The fact you would have beaten us with 10 men anyway, is an entirely different matter, though;)

I believe it will be a tough match against Fiorentina. But, they are fighting for the Champions League place next season, so that could be disturbing for them. There is only 3 points from fourth placed Fiorentina to fifth placed Milan.
I know you have something to fight for yourself, but when it comes to Italian teams, they will fight in the league instead of the Uefa Cup. Fiorentina is the only club this season from Italy who is fighting for the next round. Rest of the teams gives nothing, and don't care about it.
It will be tough, but I have a good feeling that Everton will eliminate Fiorentina.
Even if they play with their best team in Uefa Cup, they will stay most focus in the league.
If this was Champions League, I would go for Fiorentina.
They rather qualify for the Champions League than winning the Uefa Cup.

Hope you win the cup, and beat L'pool and the others in the race for the 4th place in the Premier League. We have hopefully gained some experience that'll help us in August, and through out the Norwegian season.

I still don't consider Everton as a team to fear. I know you are better than us, but it has never been and will never be "Wow shit Everton" for me. Everton will stay Everton forever. Just Everton.

I mean, say if Brann should play Barcelona. Many Brann supporters would have thought "Wow shit Barcelona, wow...". Everton will never be such a team for me. And you guys are actualy fighting for that glory you'll never get. You have never got further than BRANN in UEFA since the 80s (?) untill now, and thats what I mean. Everon is Everton. A good side in premier league, better than the championship clubs and better than norwegian sides, but still just Everton.
