Cant see how anybody could see that Everton played fantastic. Liverpool were poor and Everton were marginally poorer. I think a draw was a fair result.

I cant see Everton getting anything on Sunday though.

Wasn't that the case last year? And the year before that, and before?

What run are you reffering to?

I'm more referring to the 'next year' bit.

Yeah its our catchphrase.

One year we will be right

Haha yeah, suppose as long as you keep saying it you can say "I told you so" eventually!

Shame that the only thing I can say about next year is that I hope we're still in the Premier League!

Take 2 tommorow, we are playing a weak 11 so expect a "shock"

Worst case scenario is probs a replay looking at it from a cold hearted point of view.

Hope we can scrape the win.

should do

Just read that haha, i've also read carras book and he reckons that evertons season is based on success or failure depending on Liverpools success or failure. Point proven I guess, maybe one year Everton will be in the frame to win something and Liverpool will be the ones jealous and bitter hoping Everon lose a final, or miss out on the premiership - god i hope not.

Shut it and enjoy the banter!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it's round two!


We done a pound swoop in my college and i got Van De Meyde who hasn't played all season and Phil Neville hahaha!

So this for me is a massive game and I'm looking forward to it, Everton are on a high and i think we will get something "again" out of Anfield today.

I hope Liverpool field their strongest team because it's really disrespecting Everton and the F.A cup and when we win, Liverpool avn't got an excuse

So lets all enjoy a breath taking cup tie!!!

super goal!!

watching the same game or what ?

reina had it if lescott didn't get a touch on it after all he knew nothing about it!

jagielka and lescott both stopping liverpool tho atm!

nice comeback mike

any goal scored at the kop end against liverpool is a super goal to me


seriously you need to learn to put a defender on cahill the chap's class!

WHAT A GOAL!!

super touches from nando super finish!

Certainly looked like he flicked his head towards the ball, in which case he did know what he was doing

Everton v's Liverpool at Goodison is the best we could hope for at the start of the game, even at half time! Have a read at these amazing facts...

Yakubu - regular goalscorer- out for the season!
Saha - a real talent when fit - hamstring injury!
Vaughan - good player - knee injury!
Arteta - amazing talent - rib injury!
Fellaini - most expensive player and a fans favorite - suspended!

Now to play a team who are top of the premier league with out them players and get a 1-1 draw in the league then to repeat that in the F.A cup is a exceptional!

We are a little side and we had to play two young kids, thats how desperate we are. So i am over the moon to take them back to Goodison, we will have Fellaini back and could have the magical Arteta back, with them back in the team we are a different side.


Right on the game today, Everton didn't threat at all today, understandably! But who ever watched that game today will of seen 11 players who give everything today, they ran and ran and defended superbly!

Jagielka, this guy is super talented, if he doesn't get picked for England next month ill seriously write to the England manager with a complaint! Then book him an appointment for the opticians! The guy is a 20 million pound defender maybe more, he give another 100% committed performance today.

Fantastic blues! Now lets beat them at Goodison!

Lescott new what he was doing, our defenders however didn't. Great flick from nando and a bit of poor keeping and its 1-1, how we didn't win the game i'll never know, created chance after chance, and as for some incredible result from Everton, I think that is a sign of how dominant we are.

Glad of the draw cos its another mersey derby to look forward to, we have been better away this season, so lets see what happens. Hope it goes all the way to pens

edit: for a workmanlike team, Everton have a right bunch of divers! Baines and that lump Anichibe in the first, pienaar twice in the second. Talk about desperate to get a set piece!
