Good win, would like Leicester at home in the quarter finals hopefully Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all get knocked out. I really want Everton to win the FA Cup this year, please god!

From the text updates it sound like it could have ended up 5-3. Still happy we won!

5-3? Make that 8-2

I think it was given for a foul before that.

Agreed. You could see the ref pointing to where the first incident occurred which looked like a foul by JH.

Almost too easy that, apart from Philips' free kick (given away unnecessarily by Fellaini) and LuaLua's late strike (where Howard showed his class). That penalty decision was a joke, dreadful decision imo but will watch again very closely on MOTD. It could have been about 10-0, and with lots of players out too. Great play once again by the Straq too, but my MOTM has got to be Royston Drenthe for his fearlessness, industry and tremendous skill in both open play and dead-ball situations.

Can't chat any longer, am packing now for a weekend in Derby. A 16 hour music listening session tomorrow with a mate (and LOTS of beer!) featuring Van Der Graaf Generator, Peter Hammill, Soft Machine, Yes, Dream Theater, Vanilla Fudge, Gentle Giant, Dave Matthews Band, Joni Mitchell, Sandy Denny, Kate Bush, Roy Harper, Gong, Kevin Ayers, Sensational Alex Harvey Band etc. etc., then some walking in the Peaks the following day and even more music on the Tuesday! Have a great weekend everybody.

Steady on lad! You know Everton -- we'll probably lose to Leicester in the next round!

I'll have the winner of the Chelsea Brum replay please (but only if at home)

Jeeebus! actually knowing Everton, we will draw tottenham and Chelsea for Quarters and Semi. Win THEN lose to Leicester in the final.

A 2-0 annihilation that was, if there can be such thing. We should have had 5 at least. Good performances by every one of our players - they were all sniffing Wembley and were up for it. Drenthe made Blackpool look silly at times. Heitinga and Fellaini as assured as you could expect. Brilliant save by TH near the end. Hopefully another home draw in the quarters but the odds must be against it happening again. We won't fear anyone though in the next round. And come on Brighton FFS.

I smiled the entire way through that match, proper entertainment all day, that pen desision was confusing though was it for the first or seccond incident? Either way i'm glad he missed.

 

[Blue 1]

Hope we get Brighton in the next round.

I approve!!!

It amazes me when pundits don't see things like that when they see the replay. The foul that led to the penalty was obviously why the ref blew. He may have waited for advantage but nevertheless, even if it was a debatable penalty, it was for that, not the one after.

 

[Librarian]

Lots of positives, though we're still not really motoring. There are signs that could really come together for us I feel.

 

[froggyted]

I approve!!!

So your musical taste is as good as your footballing taste! Signing off now, will catch up with this thread in the middle of next week if i have time, otherwise will be back for the QPR game in a fortnight's time - one we should be winning on current form.
