Premier League — Matchweek 29 and FA Cup 6th Round

For me, ideally the best result between Luton and Forest is a Forest win.

Luton must be totally demoralised as well as cream crackered after throwing away a 3-goal lead to lose at Bournemouth. They have more Injuries to contend with and may well be struggling to put a half decent team out.

I know a win puts Forest above us, but once they get their points deduction it will put them back below us. Hopefully they get a 10-point deduction which will be reduced on appeal, but make them stew for a few weeks, same as what the corrupt Premier League did with us.

If we get a further points deduction then it should be nowhere near what Forest get, so we should hopefully remain above Forest before we play again.

Should Luton lose today, they then have a nightmare of a run to contend with in their next four games, including away games at Spurs, Arsenal and Man City, p!us their midweek conquerors, Bournemouth, sandwiched in between, at home.

So I can't see them getting many points out of that run of fixtures. That loss at Bournemouth may well have been the beginning of the end for Luton.

Rob,

Fingers crossed you're spot on regards Luton. Personally I'd like a draw to keep us above both.

Watching the Wolves game. They just have a bit more class but Coventry are a decent team.

Wolves v Coventry started off so far like a good Cup tie.

I'm watching big Ellis Simms though, not sure he's really got the movement or mobility to be a Premier League footballer.

Casey Palmer looks good for Coventry though.

Jesus!

Simms missing that – he could get back in our starting 11 every week!

I'd also keep an eye on Burnley v Brentford.

Ideally a draw, but if one wins, then Burnley as we can beat them at Goodison.

Ellis Simms just missed an absolute sitter. May have been an offside in the build up, but still. He side-footed a shot from about 2 yards out, slap bang in the middle of the goal, with no-one near him.

Really, Coventry could be 2 up.

Sorry 3 up!!!!!

Rob,

I agree with your view on Forest and Luton, plus if Forest lose some points next week (who knows when we will get to hear), they will get no real benefit.

Absolutely thoroughly deserved.

Well done Coventry and Ellis.

VAR is a joke!

And Simms just scored against Wolves!

The family are at Cardiff today for the Rugby.

I'm going to have to watch on the tele. I don't even understand Rugby.

I've just checked the calendar. Two weeks until Bournemouth.

The VAR spent that long looking at Simms's goal – they refused to see that Wolves defender was holding him lol.

Simms deserved that goal. Impressive display so far, despite the sitter he missed.

Good to see a striker not lose any confidence but just wait for the next chance to come along and score it.

Coventry play the game like I'd love to see us play it.

My God!

How are Coventry out of sight?????

Football on the floor, pass, move, commit men forward, is it really that hard?

Jim,
they have better players than us (excuse for Dyche fans).

Wolves equalize

Undeserved equaliser for Wolves, Coventry must be kicking themselves?

2-1 Wolves now!

Wolves go ahead

I think we sold the wrong striker last summer…

Simms again. Should've had three!

And a second for Simms!

Ahh they have won it.

Well done, Coventry City!

Fucking love it!

Wasn't really bothered who won that, but then I remembered after we played Wolves at the end of December, we were in a pub in the city centre after the game and this Wolves gobshite fan came in singing “You cheating Scouse bastards, you know what you are”.

So a bit of Karma for that gobshite. Well done Coventry.

And that, my friends, is the beauty of the FA Cup.

Chuffed for Ellis...

Two goals and an assist for the winner.

And we end up with Beto!

Fantastic absorbing Cup tie.

Coventry were truly great going forward there and deserved that ending.

Oh how predictable and boring are the Simms comments!

Great game for Simms, 2 goals + 1 assist.

Happy to see Wolves lose.

Best team won. What a cracking game – real old school, end to end. Sa is a shit, so glad Coventry came back to win it. Simms increasing his value too – did we have a buy back clause or add-ons – knowing EFC, we had neither!

Did anyone notice in first half when Sa went down with an "injury", O'Neill and his coaches had the laptops ready to give the Wolves players new instructions? At the time, Coventry were giving them a lesson in passing the ball forward.

Bidwell and Wright have some left feet on them. Rayan Aït-Nouri for Wolves is a cracking footballer and on the RS radar apparently, mores the pity.

Great result. Great performance and thoroughly deserved.

Well done, Ellis.

That was a proper cup game, and a proper football match. All we seem to get these days is manufactured hysteria about the RS and City, and idiots telling us this is "the best title race ever in English football" blah blah.

But Wolves v Coventry in the cup is the real deal. I've never heard of half the players, but it was a great, unpredictable topsy-turvy battle between two teams who rarely feature in a cup semi-final or get to Wembley unless its in a play-off final. Almost restores my faith in football, if it wasn't for the fact that Coventry will get fucked 5-0 in the semi by Klopp or Pep's multi-millionaires.

Made up for Ellis Simms too.

And is life so bad in the Championship? Coventry have been to Wembley twice in two years now.

Delighted for Simms and Coventry.

Bidwell started his career at Everton.

Incredible miss by Fofana for Burnley!

A Coventry - Leicester FA Cup Final would be interesting, but unlikely.

Burnley 2-0 up but should be out of sight.

Would we say the Burnley and Luton games are going our way right now?

I'd welcome a Luton equaliser, tbh.

Have Brentford won a game since the Arsenal target Ivan Toney returned?

Wouldn’t bet on it.

Yeah, I think you are right, Alan.

Here 's hoping for a Barkley screamer.

Get in

Nice! Brentford now right in it as well.

Pretty much the best results we could've hoped for this weekend?

Forest and Luton just a point each, ensuring both are below us, and Brentford kept in the mix just 1 point above us. Burnley so far off the pace, it doesn't really matter... unless we're docked 10!

Obviously we need to push on and do the business and actually score some goals, but gives us a huge opportunity vs Bournemouth.

Made up Luton, equalised.

Next time out, Everton to beat Bournemouth.

UTFTs!

Whilst a Forest win wouldn't have been a disaster, it was imperative that Luton never won.

They are 3 points behind, but with us having a superior goal difference, it's two games Luton need at least four points from, and with them having a nightmare next four fixtures, they will probably do well to get just the one.

I guess it's all down to the corrupt Premier League now as to who goes down and who stays up.

Another two and an assist for Simms.

And someone on here last week saying he only scores against non-league Maidstone and already relegated Rotherham. Well done, lad, keep it up.

Have to say, responding to Rob at the beginning of the thread, I wanted a Luton draw. We cannot continue to waste these chances of pulling away from them both.

The Forest decision is on Monday. It has to be a minimum of 6 points regardless of any mitigating circumstances.

After swanning about in Portugal, we have no excuses of being tired and all that shit. We need to go out and get 3 points against Bournemouth.

Only thing I would say is not to go 3 up until the 90th minute!

City 2-0 up against the skunk maggots. 👍👍👍

I didn't see that Fulham score coming tonight either?

John @49,

With regard to Forest, it depends how the Commission view the transfer of Brennan Johnson. If it falls within the accounting period, it should, roughly, balance their purchases last summer.

If it doesn't, not only are they mathematically deficient but, with the Richarlison precedent being common knowledge, that should be an aggravating element.

Whilst we were the guinea pigs, there are now some guidelines and it will be interesting to see if they are followed.

As it was an Everton-free Saturday, I went with my wife and son to that Lundun to watch Back To The Future at the theatre (it was very good).

On the train, I was talking with a Brighton fan who went home and away vs Roma. He said the Roma fans were horrible and held up a massive banner saying something obscene against the Queen (something about Fellacio…).

For the return fixture, the Brighton fans made an equally large banner, in Italian, saying “Francesco Totti likes pineapple on his pizza”!

Mark Murphy,

I believe the true slight on Totti was that he uses bacon not pancetta in his carbonara. Not a biggie to us but obviously to the Romans a big insult. Anyway, great resourcefulness.

I see Ellis Simms is starting to find his feet at Coventry; press quote: "Simms was the star of the show for Coventry". We paid nearly double for Beto… how?

That has been the problem ever since Martinez, we spend big money on players in the decline of there careers and who no longer have the hunger, instead of showing faith in our youngsters to either start or be the back-up squad players.

But no, every manager since Martinez just deems our young players to be not good enough the minute they become manager. Tell that to Robinson, Cannon and Simms. We replaced them with Ashley Young, Youssef Chermiti and Beto. That's our recruitment in a nut shell.

John (#49);

No excuses after a week in Portugal? It will probably be a case of long jet lag which, like Dele Ali, will be missed in the medical.

Have to agree with Phil #56 though.

It remains to be seen if Simms can do it at the top level. I'm pleased for him. He will have a career in professional football.

There is a great documentary on Totti. A really good player and stayed with his home town club for his entire career despite lures from Real Madrid.

Having lived there, I used to prefer the Roma supporters. Lazio were downright fascists. And as for Napoli, just mental. If we ever go there, watch your back.

Like all Italian clubs, they have their ultras.

Phillip @56,

I'm pleased for Simms but I'm not convinced he's as good as Beto yet. Certainly Beto is quicker, stronger and better in the air. His all-round game is superior. Simms is probably the better finisher but he has taken some time to find his form in the Championship and 9 goals in over 2000 minutes is nothing to write home about so far.

If Simms had stayed, I suspect he would have struggled with the same limited minutes Beto has had and people would be saying he's not good enough. Lots of ‘grass is greener' syndrome around at the moment.

It will be interesting to see how Simms does if he's ever a regular in the Premier League.

Phillip (56). Money ruled where Beto, Chermiti,Young Simms and Cannon were concerned, Simms and Cannon brought that much needed money, the three brought in cost nothing, for the time being, talent had nothing to do with it, time will tell how much talent they have, Young did once have plenty of it, too late for us.

I’m sure it was either you or Robert T, that wrote on ToffeeWeb, about Ellis Simms, a couple of years ago Sam H, explaining that he initially struggles when he goes up to the next level, before he adapts and kicks on?

Nine goals in 22 games, (if you divide 2000 minutes) isn’t that bad a record to begin with either, imo.

I’m not sure Simms, was ready, but neither is Chermieti, and just shows how much of a messy job both Dyche and Thelwell, have been given

Dave 60] I’m sure you are correct - the key issue being cash flow. The sales of Both Simms & Cannon generated cash.

Unless something dramatic happens on the ownership issue, we should expect to see similar types of activity during the summer - though I’m not sure who we have in/around the u21 group that would generate even the modest amounts we got for Simms & Cannon.

Sadly I’m resigned to Branthwaite going - who goes with him is anyone’s guess (Patterson maybe?)

Tony # 61 - Chermiti is 4 years younger than Simms though. So its understandable that he's not quite ready yet. The Championship is the right place for Simms at the moment. His 9 goals in 37 games currently have him at 24th in the goalscorers chart at that level. He needs to improve on that and may yet get to the Premier League with Coventry (and I hope he does) but he's very unlikely to be one that got away.

Coventry have been knocking on the prem door for a couple of years now. We should be looking at any of their young or out of contract players, not sure if ohare is out of contract but looks to play a forward pass and has a bit of guile. I would also try and get the city loanee from shed u next year.

Well done to Simms yesterday and also a well done to Marco Silva, Fulham are safe for another season and may yet achieve a top 10 finish. The body of work that he has done over the past three years is quite impressive and if he came to us on the back of same I don't think anyone would argue too strongly against it. Unfortunately, he didn't have that Premier League success on his CV when he initially came through the doors of Goodison Park and when things became difficult he was sacked. He also got a raw deal on the signings front at the start of his second full season thanks to the incompetence of our DOF.

Opinions differ but as of now I can't believe that Beto is a better bet than Simms going forward. Simms has much more footballing ability.

Hope Manure wipe the smile off Klopp's grid today. Heartily sick of the media talking about Klopp's ' farewell tour '.

We couldnt have had a much better set of results than what happened yesterday, still outside the bottom 3 and now we have games in hand over Brentford, Forest and Luton. Mind I then remember our game in hand is Liverpool so hardly a guaranteed 3 points. Looks like Forest will hear their result from the Premier league commission tomorrow, lots of speculation but I remember just days before we heard our punishment and many on here were saying they had heard from a very good source our punishment would be 3 points deducted and a fine, I wish.

Then irrespective of what punishment Forest get we will hear in a week or so what punishment we may face for our 2nd charge. So whatever Forest get I will wait to see what punishment we get before reading to much into Forests punishment.

Tony@61, yes, it is a bit of a mess but I think losing Simms for Chermiti was probably an easy decision. Neither are ready to make an impact at PL level but it would seem, and these things are never easy to judge, that the Portuguese has a much higher potential ceiling.

Simms is probably not a long way off his best now and will hopefully go on to be a player who can get 15 goals a season in the championship or maybe 5-10 in the PL. A £20-25m player in a year or two if things go well.

Chermiti would appear to have more potential and might hope to emulate Rafael Leao if things go well and become a £50m+ player. Odds are against that happening but he’s fast, tall and has good movement which is a good start. Hopefully he’s been well scouted and is being well coached.

Players have also got to play imo, Sam, especially between the ages of 17/21 when it’s all about picking up as much experience as possible, to aid a players development.

I was going to say the same about yesterday's results Brian.

Still, the most important thing is we win as many of ours as we can in the run in.

Tony, your last word sums it up for me. Development.

Don't burn them out. Just gradually introduce them. I keep saying it, Guardiola with Foden. Dare I say, us with Branthwaite, who I fear we will lose.

Tony # 69, it really wouldn't surprise me if Beto returns to Serie A in summer and Chermiti becomes our challenger to DCL. If not, he'll be out on loan to get the games he needs

Tony@69, agreed. And I think he would have gone out on loan in January if we weren’t so short on numbers.

I expect he’ll go on loan next year, unless he impresses Dyche over the summer. Ideal scenario would be him going to Championship to a good team and scoring 15+ goals but minutes in any European first team would be good.

It seems some posters are quick to point out how well some ex players are doing since being sold merely as a stick to beat the club with.
I can't remember many posts, if any, giving the club credit for getting good money for a player who doesn't turn out to be the world beater some would have us believe all our ex players "are".
Just strengthens my belief that a lot of posters are quicker to moan than compliment.
Maybe our predicament has gradually ground them down.

Depressing to see how easy it is for Chelsea to gallop through the lines on the counter against a decent-looking football-playing Leicester side. The much-heralded gulf in quality down to the Championship.

But there's hope as Sterling takes a dreadful penalty.

Damn Michael I missed that completely. Musta happened when I was out of the room. 😱

Danny 70 I get your point about not overplaying young talent, but when we do it all we are doing underplaying them for their next club, Rooney was the classic example, flog every minute out of em, cos we won’t have them for long!

By the way - happy Paddy’s day to our Irish readers, proper and plastic!
I always loved Paddy’s night in St Helens back in the day - bigger than New Years Eve in our local Cathy club, St Anne’s.
Slainte
UTFT

Michael (74), Sterling takes a bad penalty then he gats away from the Leicester defence with speed and anticipation and misses a very good chance with poor finishing, then gets away again and creates a goal with a good pass and great movement from Palmer.

I think City got a good price for him and got his wages off the books, he still has his speed which was increased, when a lad from Liverpool city centre put an extra yard on his pace, while he was at Liverpool, but he never seems to last the full game now coming off early, don’t know if this tactics or him tiring.

City might be wondering if they let Palmer go too early although he insisted on the move when they wouldn’t guarantee him more games this season, he looks a very good signing for them at £40M.

Great finish by the Chelsea defender!!

Good info there, Dave.

Gotta love that own-goal by Diasi for 2-1. Mind you, wish this Sanchez bloke would play in goal when Chelsea play us. Talk about erratic!

Mark (77) If you went to mass this morning you could have exercised your lungs by singing “ Hail Glorious Saint Patrick” Sister Kathleen was urging me and the lady who sits next to to belt it out as she walked past singing it at the top of her Irish voice, I was singing it quietly because my singing voice is chronic like the lady next to me!!

And now a fully-clothed streaker!

Another sign that the game is not what it was.

Oooooo.... Equalizer! Brilliant!!!!

A fully clothed streaker is not a streaker, merely a pitch invader! 😁😁

Chelsea all over the place. Very open game.

Looking at Chelsea v Leicester City then we have to strengthen this summer because the 3 being promoted are stronger than us.

Leicester have a good squad and I'd take Dewsbury-Hall and Mavididi are 2 who walk into our 11.

Interesting one for the VAR: correct me thinks. Red, not yellow, but foul outside the box. But the contact was very slight.

Correct decision re: the red card. He was the last man, bringing Jackson down, so the ref had no other choice. Had it been a penalty then it seems the yellow would have stood, yet what was the difference between the Reguilon red card yesterday and that one just then?

By the way, what an absolute shit free kick by Sterling.

Oh my gawd! Unbelievably bad free-kick by Sterling!!

Loud boos from the Chavs.

Chelsea all over the place and discontent in the crowd. We cam take these in a few weeks.

Yes Rob, a red and VAR called it right. Free kick.

What a shocker. Sterling should be made to go and fetch that ball from wherever it eventually landed in Kensington

Chelsea 'fans' showing how spoilt they are. Sterling hasn't had the best of games but did very well to set up the second goal. Massive boos when he blazed the free kick over. Similar noises just now when Mudryk taken off and 'You don't know what you're doing. God knows if they were in our shoes.

Villa losing at West Ham. They really need the win to maintain their push for CL.

Has Poch got the last laugh on the Chelsea fans for booing when he subbed Mudryk? His replacement may have just scored the winner.

One of the more depressing things of late, is watching other teams score and thinking we would never score a goal like that 😥

He almost lost the ball, great recovery great feet and great finish

Will we ever see Onana/Garner score a goal like that, probably not for EFC.

Simon, you obviously haven't spent much time with Chelsea fans.
They were uneducated thugs before abramovich, now they are new money pricks. I have a couple of in-laws who follow them and it is always interesting

Feeling dirty but for the first time I can remember I’m watching a red shite game when they’re not playing us.

I don’t like United but I’d support a combined waffen SS Hammas Tory eleven against that fcuking lot!

UTFT

Omg - Luik Diaz is dead!!!
Oh, no he’s ok..

Kevin@95 and the goal just scored by a player we tried to sign Gnonto.

Man Utd 1-0.

Goal for Man U
Mixed feelings here - their fans were in full “sign on” mode, the hypocritical twats!

Mark I know what you mean. Can't believe I'm saying this but I want Liverpool to win. To many United players are vile.

Joe - I can’t think of a single scenario, including keeping us up, that I want them to win!
KAGS
Even little baby ones!

Mark, trust me I'm not happy about!

Mac Allister finally booked. I can't understand how he hasn't had more red cards this season the fucking yard dog!

Must have been the longest VAR check in history to rule out West Ham's 96th minute goal there.

7 minutes injury time becomes 13

West Ham goal disallowed in the last minute for handball. You could be there all night trying to see a handball by Bowen.

Neil, could you see any handball by Bowen? Was almost impossible to tell.

Rob, I think it grazed of Soucek's arm before bouncing in off Bowen, but it was anything but clear and obvious.

That will stand. 1-1

That’s not offside imo

Correction….offside.

I’m happy but I still don’t think that’s offside. It should go by the feet.

In the January window, it looked like McTominay was available and I suggested I would be happy with that signing but got flamed by some.

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would think McTominay wouldn't be good for us?

Lady Luck showing a bit of ankle to our local rivals. Well I never!

James 96. Thanks for the reply. I would like to add that their behaviour was no great surprise, but more a reminder how horrible they can be.

United starting to fall to pieces now.

Now 2-1 the shite

Not waiting for 2nd half injury time today?

Mark, I’d have McTominay all day long. Same as I’d have Barkley back.

Difference is with the Shite, we can say they get lucky but they play the game in the opposition's half.

You are making you're own luck and, when you get men in the box, there's always the likelihood you will pick up loose ends.

Did anyone really think Man Utd would beat the RS, based on their performance against us? The gulf is massive.

Basically, either the RS or Citteh will win everything this season, that's the state of the game in this country.

Jim, I detest them but got to admit they are a good team.
I wouldn't have that Robertson within 100 miles of Goodison tho. He's the new Joey Jones… Cunt!

I've given up on hating the rs, too time wasting. I'm more concerned about our own form and future tbh. Like Jim said, if you don't try you'll never score.

I still hate them, btw.

Michael @122,

Sadly you are right, mate, it's getting more like Scottish football here with every passing season, the competition is now the very best a million miles ahead of the rest.

The fact that Everton haven't won a Merseyside derby in front of supporters for nearly 14 years is absolutely sickening and something in all my years of watching football and Everton, I never thought I'd witness.

The gulf now is astronomical.

Graeme Souness, so full of wisdom.

Rob, I'd have Barkley back too but I'm not living up there any more. I understood he had issues with the local low lifes? Is that still a likely obstacle?

First time I have watched our neighbours and I have to admit that they play very attacking threatening football from the off. They pass and control the ball with great confidence. I'd forgotten how good football can be.

It's depressing to watch for us Evertonians.

No idea, Mark. How long is it now since he went to Chelsea, 5 - 6 years, so I think whatever happened with him has been kept quiet ever since, but that’s not to say it could be re-kindled if he ever came back.

Jim - in a nutshell!

I play “walking football” now down here in Sussex. The players are a mix of Arsenal, spurs, Chelsea Fulham, palace, Brighton and even a Grimsby fan. 24 turn up every week and I'm the only Evertonian. None of them take the piss as they are all 60-something and not plastic fans. There is one RS fan who is Hungarian and wears a Real Madrid kit and LFC bobble hat. And he's a Cunt. Apparently 2 years ago he “supported” Arsenal..

Anyway, point is, they've all now accepted that the Premier League is a closed shop. Even the Spurs fans accept it's unlikely they'll ever win it. The Arsenal fans are holding on to hope but expect to be pipped every season.

It won't take long before apathy amongst all but City and the RS just makes it an irrelevance.

I'll keep going for the craic and the nostalgia but I do not in all honesty expect Everton to win another honour in my lifetime. I reckon I've 10 years left if I'm lucky.

UTFT

United playing against 12 here

Absolute 100% cheating redshite Cnut!!

United chasing shadows now.
Going to watch Loudermilk.
UTFT

McTominay would be good for us.
But he's never coming and Dyche would probably play him out of position anyway.

How the hell can anyone consider Man Utd. a top team? They're dreadful, so lazy, Fernandes, Rashford a bloody embarrassment!

And are we the only team that Garnacho turns up for?

Final comment from me.

United are absolutely shite!

That Dutch bloke won't be there much longer.

Mark # 130…

It will also be a long time before we see Chelsea or Man Utd win the league again. Could be even longer before Chelsea make the Champions League again.

Edward and Mark, the pitiful thing is they still took 6 points off us. Correct, this Man Utd team is awful.

Rashford is on allegedly over £280k per week.

Edward 135

Manchester United's dynasty ended when Alex Ferguson walked out the door.

Hopefully the same will happen when Klopp leaves that lot, but I won't be holding my breath.

Amen to that, Jim

“Theatre of Dreams” my arse. More like the Theatre of Snooze. Ten minutes left, 2-1 down in the quarter final of the FA Cup and there’s barely a peep from the Man Utd fans.

Quality of these Man Utd players - there was a time when you would fear their subs bench.

Get in!

Yesssssss! Fcuk off you gobshite cnuts!!!

Get in, their biggest charlatan scores

Am I the only one who hopes they’ll run out of Stretchers??

Didn't see that coming, is that Old Nick warming up?

Fecking hell dickhead

Aaarrggghh…….fuck off Rashford. Should have scored.

Rashford channelling his inner Beto there.

Fucking Rashford, invisible for 90 minutes then misses that at the end!

Fcuk me, Rashford, I'm a 65-year-old leftie and I'd've buried that!!

After all that, looks like Rashford was offside.

Offside anyway by the look of it

Rashy probably thinking about the prossy party Kyle Walker has arranged for tonight.

Rob H. Off topic I know, but any chance of getting the inside story on ‘slapgate’ from you ITK contact at FInch Farm?

If its Dyche it must involve brown sauce or a watney's party can or both

Watneys Party Can - virtually impossible to open without spraying the contents everywhere. Giving your age away there Paul!

Fuck off, poxy twats.

I can remember the dolly birds on the can Mike

Mike, I could try and find out, but doubt very much I will get told anything.

Mason Mount, I forgot about him

Was half expecting a slabhead og for the winner in the 4th minute of 2 minutes added time. Only bright side there's still time for Utd to equalize.

You have a better memory than me Paul. I just recall a large - predominately red - can.

Watney's Red Barrel, that's a good Monty Python bit.

Torremolinos!

Maybe it was Skol Mike, but there was deffo one of them with a dolly bird.

Rashford!!

About time, Rashford!

GET IN

Paul. Just googled Watneys party 7. You are correct- dolly birds on the design. Chapeau sir.

That's more like it, Rashford!!

Got to google that, Mike; proper Benny Hill girl.

Well, the shite's main penalty taker is not on the pitch.

Ya Fucking Beauty!!

Fucking shove that in your big fucking mouth Klopp!

YESYSYEYSYYSYSYSYEYEYSYSYSYEYEYSYS

Much to my liking!

Red for the shirt

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Fuck Yeah!!!!!

Bye bye, quadruple; is toothy smiling?

What a mad bugger!

They don't like it up'em

GET IN!!!

Everybody enjoying their Sunday?

I would have preferred the twats to lose on penalties but not complaining.

Rob can't even put his joy into words!

Where’s your fist pumping now, shithouse!

I'm with Rob @185,

Speechless

So that's Man City v Man Utd and Coventry v Chelsea.

The only game that I wish both teams could lose.

Are the 9000 singing Walk On - scarfs up - tears?

Fuck me, that close-up of Klopp was scary. Like Jack Torrance in the freezer in The Shining.

Great cup tie and there goes the Junior Quadruple!

No chance, Paul, I wanted only one team to win that - good old Nunez.

Deep fucking joy of the deepest joyest type.

Paul, no it’s got to be Man Utd v Coventry because that’s what the shite would have got anyway.

Ironically Liverpool's dream of winning four trophies this season ended at “The Theatre of Dreams”.

Just fuckin' love it and unlike a few Bluenoses, Man Utd have always been one of my favourite teams and clubs.

So sad for Kloppy. Looks like Europa League is his best bet. A bit like having a wedding reception in a motorway cafe.

But, but, but, but, it's Klopp's last season? That's not fair and wasn't part of the plan.

Haha!

Off you pop back to London and Norway.

I can never understand those people on here who don't understand that hating the shite and feeling pure joy when they fuck it up is part of being an Evertonian.

Who said the FA Cup is dead?

That was an absolute nailed on certainty, Rob.

Paul. If there was any justice in the world, you could now celebrate that result by cracking open a can of Watneys!

However, being Evertonians, we know there isn't – so you'll need to find a different beverage.

that won't be a problem Mike, Liebfraumilch it is.

maybe a sneaky grape or two and a slice of dairylea

I didn't realise that the lad who scored the winner was sent off after that goal, a second booking for taking his shirt off, the referee going by the book?

Ah for fuck's sake, try being a human being for once in your bleedin' life you miserable fucker.

Paul @200.

I turned the game off when they were passing it around, lording it about and looking like scoring a third.

What joy, what utter joy to see the final result. Don't care what anyone thinks about bitter Blues, that was fucking brilliant

Hahahaha………Coventry v Man Utd! 😁😁😁

Just had a fucking big G&T. Thankyou God. The commentator on ITV almost creaming his keks at the thought of a quadruple.

What joy to see the crestfallen wonderkids and St Virgil with a ball through his bandy legs...he "never gets ruffled". Then Sourness sick as the proverbial parrot.

So glad we didn't ruin our weekend and we can enjoy the pain of those entitled nobs.

Coventry v Man Utd, spot on, Andy.

Man Utd v Man City final?

The thug, Souness, is clearly shaken lol.

Never mind the Dairylee, Paul. I've just cracked open a packet of Fig Rolls and as the are Lidl's very own they've splintered out like champagne at a Grand Prix!!!

hahahaha - one thing I never took to fig rolls, but give me toast topper or birds eye cod in butter sauce

Findus crispy pancake anyone? … washed down with a Cinzano?

I used to like them Mike, those were the days when lasagna was exotic.

And sad to see Steve Harley left us today, he would have liked Findus crispy pancakes and a loosey afterwards.

Paul,

>When I was at school had a weekend job (Kwiksave in Kirkby). Findus crispy pancakes were one of the 3 most stolen items by the shoplifters – the other 2 being Nescafé and John West red salmon (tinned of course)! Great days.

I remember the advert: John West Salmon, "the taste torments me"

The 2 clubs I've always had time for are Man Utd and Arsenal, they've never been afraid of the shite, even in the '70s and '80s when they won everything and were streets ahead of either club.

If we had half their cahunas, our record wouldn't be so desperate against the heathen.

Well in Man Utd, made my day.

Paul, you just made my day even better.

Bird's Eye Cod in Butter Sauce. This is true: My mum said the day before the O-Level results:

"Don't care how you've done as long as you did your best. Tell you what. We'll have cod in butter sauce no matter what."

Canuck Pale Ale from the good folks at Great Lakes Brewery here, made up with the RS losing the Quad and Villa spawning a point to help them in the race with Spurs. Sad that footy is more enjoyable on weekends we're not playing, but here we are.

Hopefully the golf is as dramatic as the Man Utd win today.

You could also get it in parsley sauce Andy but butter sauce was miles better with butter heavy mash or Bird's Eye rice in many different flavours: it is dead homey when I think of it.

I was hoping it would go all the way to extra time, I hate both Man Utd & The RS with a passion. Utd prob won't go on to win it, so it's the best outcome apart from Klopp breaking an ankle moaning at the fourth official it went okay.

For Klopp to bow out with nothing would be apt. He's under-achieved in my thoughts since being at the RS. No Premier League or Champions League at City or Utd even Chelsea and you are lucky to keep your job.

Can't wait for dome turmoil across the park. We may even see him off in the derby with a win. The big turkey toothed, smug bellend!!

And if you know yer history…

'cos them plastic kopites don't. Little light banter in the comments of a national daily.

"Everton in old Danish Anglo Saxon means a Pig Farm on a Hill"

"Yeah, probably does. Anfield is in Everton"

It's enough to make your heart go. . . . . . .

Plastic Kopites, I really do loathe them. So frustrating tonight. Two lovely mates, both born on the north bank of the Mersey and who support the other side. Can't take the mickey out of them, they are too nice to me about the blues. But I can ring our kid and we can both have a good laugh.

Andy, cod in butter sauce with potato waffles and garden peas. Funnily enough, we bought some waffles the other day for the first time in years.

Rumours the RS threw flares into the disabled section at Old Trafford. If true, they really are the lowest of the low, lower than a snake's belly and should all crawl back into their low life pond.

Hopefully puts a cap on the RS, for a few days.

Hopefully Everton will be ready and able to beat Bournemouth.

The season will have more twists to happen, and hopefully all good ones for Everton.

UTFTs!

Waffles and cod in butter sauce, interesting - that sounds about right Rob, they really are scum but apparently victims as well - hear hear Paul

Re FA Cup, Error 404, quadruple not found!😀

FTRS!

Error 404, quadruple not found,😀

The Waffle was fine invention!!

My waist now suffered after cooking my kids teas. Always picking on the waffles, fish fingers or nuggets before I get round to my own tea. Then like with Everton I'm left disappointed with my tea and just would have been happy with sausages, waffles and beans.

Waffles and crispy pancakes it is then tomorrow!!

Hey, don't ever eat a Jewish Bagel. They use their you know what, to poke the hole out. Makes sense really, no pullback on the withdrawal.

I had to laugh at the one as I've never heard it before seeing as I just made it up! 😀

Jurgen Klopp😀

Not your finest moments on here Paul Kossoff, not least in present circumstances

While ToffeeWeb exists you really can't say you've heard it all or that there is indeed a bottom to the barrel.

I’m afraid I over did paddy’s day and hit the whisky second half. I’ve just come round to feel the wife’s wrath and see the “good news”..
Glad to hear the shite are out but fcuking terrified that the drink has taken another weekend of my life. I need to sort this out.
UTFT

I don’t remember after 90 minutes.

Mark...time was a Pimbletts Meat and Potato would have lined your stomach perfectly. And was a perfect gift for 'er indoors.

John Williams mate (70): please don't compare my Marine (and even more Pete Mills's and Mike Gaynes's Marine) to Scottish clubs.

I was trying to watch it in my local Irish bar, but it was difficult as the band was playing and there were lots of people with those tall Guinness hats dancing in front of me in front of the screen.

It was a slow one for me. Couldn't get near the bar as it was three deep and I risked losing the seat I had secured.

Burnley sold out already.

John - No offence taken by me!

It's a quiet Everton weekend so I hope the Eds will be tolerant if I mention that Marine's former captain and centre half, Alan Favager, has passed away. He scored one of the most memorable goals I've seen, in 1967.

Talking of memorable goals at College Road, for anyone with a minute to spare take a look at the Mariners' winner on Saturday, YouTube Marine v Guiseley, 1 minute 5 seconds in – it's a belter.

What a lovely weekend enjoying the footie and the rugby without all the angst and stress watching Everton.

My wife suffering a nasty cold so no complaints from her either when I disappeared to watch the sport so long as I kept the cups of tea coming regularly. Win-win.

Peter (91)

A great goal — I won't ask “Did he mean it?” That was a great move in the first half with that very delicate flick on by the Marine forward to his partner inside the penalty area who put a great shot in and the Guiseley goalkeeper made a great save.

At the moment, I think you are getting a lot more enjoyment watching Marine – not forgetting Charlie and Sam playing with their teams than you are with Everton.

Dave, you're right. There's not a lot of pleasure watching the Blues at present, but I've renewed my season ticket; they are a part of us, we just can't shake off.

The boys' football is developing nicely, it's great to see the interaction between lads who have now played together for a few years. The testosterone hasn't fully kicked in with them yet – no doubt that will throw up a few challenges in the future!

YOU ARE THE REF.
In the Burnley v Brentford game there was an incident when the Burnley keeper climbed over Ivan Toney and VAR was called upon. Whilst VAR was looking at it, Brentford scored.
Personally I thought a penalty would be awarded but no announcement was made and the goal was given.
My question is, IF VAR gave the penalty decision would the goal have been disallowed or allowed to stand?
