[the golden visionary]

Praise.....from Owen...

What?

Red carpet ther, Jesus wept.

 

[nsno-chris]

Owen’s eager to make a move, needs to get back to blow his horses the fat wool

 

[Wat Tyler]

James on another planet, again.

What a player. Absolute class act, and never a hair out of place.

Like Sean Connery playing Bond

 

[RomanReigns]

bring on wycombe

 

[Ring master]

Everton assistant Duncan Ferguson

I am absolutely delighted and we played very well and took the chance. We were dominant.
We hit the bar, had a goal disallowed and in the second half we pushed on. It was a good all-round performance.
We were dominant right through, Rotherham took us to extra-time and we were the better team from the go."

On Thierry Small becoming the club's youngest-ever player:
Brilliant, great for him and I'm made up for him. Really delighted. He was cool and we are delighted for him. 16, unbelievable.
Hopefully the first of many. We are in it to win it."



Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Happy to be back in the goals and I have worked hard to get back to full fitness.
I know when the ball is in those areas, I need to be aware and I am glad I was there to put it in.
When you go 1-0 up, you are never safe and we had to score the second then got the cushion.
It felt good to get a runout especially against them, being a boyhood Sheffield United fan.


Sheffield Wednesday caretaker Neil Thompson
We did well first half and were good on the counter. We used the ball well but we needed to penetrate more.
They got two goals from set plays which is disappointing but we gave a good account of ourselves. It gave us a chance to pit our wits against some of the best in the country.
We still have people missing and we have a duty of care to make sure everyone is right."

Red carpet ther, Jesus wept.

You just know that wasn’t laid without comment from the ground staff.

The FA have gone all-out red with their FA Cup branding this year, god knows why. The PL gets it, hence the Harchester purple they use now.

 

[Tigger]

Dont ever let me go Hameth you god.

 

[Preki]

Can't see why commentary teams and the media generally are so reluctant to praise James.
Thmat sort of performance from an Everton player that would have been unthinkable just a few months ago.

 

[Groucho]

Never seen such a one sided MOTM poll

Jealousy and most of them tipped him to be past it/not arsed/too weak etc and dont want to admit they are clueless biffs.

I was so pleased after 5 minutes the room Sheffield Wednesday gave him TBF he was still outstanding, good match fitness for him & the rest of the team too......a convincing win clean sheet fetch on Leicester........

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Quite professional that from us,delight to just watch Rodriguez,his clinical passes are sublime,yep they afforded him the space that most of the time he doesn't get in the PL but what a joy it is to see a player of his ilk in our Royal Blue.

 

[bluerobert]

Though the lad Onyango gave a good account of himself. Got himself round the pitch well and got stuck in. He’s absolutely massive for 17

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Completely forgot Pulis was their manager until recently. I’m gonna take a guess and say their team is packed full of grocks then?

Seems like he didn't have an adequate supply of grocks for his football to work. Impressed with them considering we played a pretty much full strength team and turned up.
