I think Everton did well against Liverpool given that they have no forwards to speak of due to injuries - had it not been for a mistake by Tim Howard then Liverpool would have been out now as they didn't look like scoring before their goal or after it.

It's funny, because there was nothing Royal Blue about the Mersey. It was grey and you could walk on it.
Manys the time we used to race the ferry across to Birkenhead.

yeah losing your best player can make a difference, but losing 4/5 can make an even bigger difference! Arteta, Fellaini, Yakubu, Saha, Vaughan... Good draw for liverpool against Evertons reserves!

1. Saha - injury prone and useless
2. Vaughan - what has he ever done
3. Yak - fair point, but you need to be able to cope without front line striker, I seem to recal the mighty reds doing that against chelsea and man u
4. Fellaini - he's just tall - end of.

Arteta is quality and too good for a small team. When he's old what medal will he be able to show his kids ?

That's nothing compared to:

He's big, he's red, his feet stick out the bed, Peter Crouch... Peter Crouch..

heh heh

Hang on. There was a song as well. How did it go ??????


something like


O we hate Bill Shankly
And we hate St John
But mooooooost of allllll
We hate Big Ron

And we'll hang the Kop-ites
One by one
On the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey

My earliest footy memory was in 1966, FA cup final, Sheffield Wednesday 2 Everton 0 with half an hour to go.

Everton came back to win 3-2 in the most glorious final ever.

I seem to recall that the Gerrard final being classed as the best FA Cup final of ALL time

I am indeed - and that was my only aspiration.

My work here is done.

[Doggy Styles]

Really? What about Reina, Skyrtel, Carragher, Mascherano, Alonso...
Also I think we got some bloke called Torres....heard he can play a bit.

Who?

Gerrard also does all the rescuing with goals in tight games.

[Doggy Styles]

I do indeed.

Everton came back to win 3-2 in the most glorious final ever. No other team ever came back from 2-0 down. Some people go on about the World cup victory in the same year, but what do they know about their history ?

I remember my dad standing on his head in front of the telly. Got carried away sometimes , my dad did.

Ah yes, Mike Treble Cock's final. Wins the FA Cup and is never heard of again, like West Ham's Alan Taylor, Southampton's Bobby Stokes and Ipswich's Roger Osborne. They were the good old days, when heroes could disappear in the blink of an eye.

[ace00]

No other team ever came back from 2-0 down.

Maybe not. Now winning from 3-0 down in a final, against AC Milan, that's been done.....

[EternalOptimist]

Ah. I see where you get it from now.
