....just checked the betting and the bookies still fancy City to get through. The Pool are short priced favourites to win the cup, followed by City and then 4-1 us. If you truly think it will be a Stoke/Everton final the bookies are giving you 14-1.

Sometimes, just sometimes I wish we did the dull 1-0. Just occasionally.

38 1-0 nil wins in the league ijjy and do you know what would happen? Some other shower of scruffy beauts would beat our goal difference by +3 or something and win title

Everton that.

....lots in the Echo about post match brawls in Priory Rd, a City fan apparently spitting at women and another confronting an old man. I thought those days had gone, very sad.

The days of newspapers exaggerating minor incidents for clicks? Nah still in those days but I do agree it's very sad indeed.

Somewhat flawed but get your drift.

Haven't you heard of quantum mechanics?! It'll be a win and a loss at the same time duh!!

Northwest Tonight on BBC before - Everton won against "an out of sorts City side". Well that explains it then, Everton were rubbish but City were worse. Do these people actually watch the game or just make things up?

Could not happen because we would have beaten every team! Second would have 36 wins.

It has lots of pictures

Best red top for footy news, news about giant rats and big brother.

Why read anything else ?

Well anyone who's going out of their way to intimidate someone else at a sporting event is obviously an idiot. The only thing you can hope for is that they either mature or get what they deserve; a slap of someone biggger than them, or a knock on the door from the bobbies!

Anyway, I'm going to stop posting on here for today. I feel I've over stayed my welcome haha. In reference to my earlier post, it genuinely wasn't meant to be a wind up, just my honest assesment of the game and what I think will happen in the next leg!

Let's wait and see. Whoever goes through in our semi, I'll be cheering on in the final.

I love the way you have adopted the United idea of singing a song for every single player.

Shows you have upped you game and got to the big time.

The way we played with 10 men was absolutely superb.

We went into 14-15 mode which is fantastic for holding onto something. It was very professional. Looks like they are learning.

Plus no Howard helps!

I hate this. Its the same with MOTD. The media cannot accept for once that Everton put on an excellent performance and managed to beat City. If you weigh up the comparative values of our squads then we should have been beaten without a doubt. We weren't. Everyone of our players turned up, put in a shift and beat City comfortably. This 'out of sorts City' rubbish does my head in. They wanted to win as much as us...they just didn't. Plucky little Everton eh?
