True. Everton are a genuinely big club, kind of sickens me to see an inflated billionaires plaything like Chelshit above them in the table.
I was just trying to appease everyone :: As Hut said, I hope whoever wins this one wins the entire thing, but I'd prefer Everton to win it, I gots muchos luv fo dem.

Everton are at least as big as Chelsea and basically superior as a club in every way except being owned by a downy looking Russian sociopath. Results & oil sugar daddies are transitory, I'd rather be Everton.
Too fucking right :: I'm on the bus now. Few brentford fans on it. One of the guys looks like David Price :: If results go their way today they go sixth into a playoff spot.
Proper fuck up there. I think Everton will grind this out. Are the semi finals settled on the day now, or does it still go to a replay?
:bears: People needn't be afraid of "Upsetting" me or any other LFC fan. It is just a game, there is always another one around the corner. I enjoy discourse- I hate "banter"- but solid argument, even if I come off 2nd best or concede the point, is good for all concerned. Its been a shite game, from what I can gather. Next goal wins it.
Citeh 1-5 up. Aguero & Tevez turning it on. I thought Norwich would upset the odds & get a draw......how wrong I was!
To a degree I do too......but Andy Carroll needs some respect now. Those late goals have been evading him all season, with keepers playing one-handed saves and what-not. He's tried and tried and tried again. Just looking at Sky Sports News here.......acting as if the game never happened and Carroll never scored. Pathetic. Let's talk bollox for ages and when we get found out, change the subject.
Thank you very much Andy: thirty-five million notes and a place in Europe for NUFC. Bravo! MTF (sorry to Joe and Cal...)
Now it could see United's form slump and Citeh back in the groove. Still not over yet. Villa are capable of drawing.....again. Citeh looked mightily impressive today. Tevez had much to prove....and boy did he.
I don't like semi-finals at Wembley, that should be reserved for the final 'a game of two halves'' fair play to Carroll he put in a decent shift this afternoon. I think we all respect Moyes and what he has achieved at Everton. However I think time is against the Moyes / Everton partnership.
Moyes is in a bad position- he can't realistically propel Everton to any sort of success without some money, despite the irony that much of his popularity is based on "the job he has done without money". But...if he leaves Everton, its against a backdrop of not much in the line of success bar a general over-achievement and some big days out here and there, finishing 4th, an FA Cup Final, Semi-Final.....AND wherever he goes he will then be expected to replicate "success" at a club where the expectations are far higher and where he will be working from a platform where success is demanded rather than dreamed of. In other words, if he takes the United job- a job which might yet come sooner rather than later- he winds up at the other end of the scale where 10 years of stability and respectability won't cut it. Sticky wicket. He hasn't had it as easy as Dalglish, who was able to walk in off the street into a very very decent squad of players signed by somebody else, and splash the cash, but by that same token he has been generally better treated than other managers by the media. So what does he do now? Hard to see. I suppose some sort of a push for the Europa League might be on the cards for the remainder of the season. I think that's a reasonable prospect- depending on just how the Chelsea-in-Europe and Newcastle-in-England thing pans out. Moyes has had opportunities- Reading was a big one, and they blew it, ditto Villareal- to break Everton out of the mold. That said its hard to make a silk purse out of a sows ear consistently. Scotland manager? Probably a step backwards for him. Maybe the Spurs job next Summer?
It makes cash sense. 80,000 + instead of 50,000 at some "Neutral" league venue. Apart from that it wrecks the buzz of the big day itself. In any event the stadium is not a patch on the old ground.
Especially the guy who has dropped a shitload of money to be in London for the final. :TLC: The only good thing I can say is that now I don't have to deal with the touts. Check your facebook messages sometime tomorrow.
