Match Thread Everton Vs Chelsea - FA Cup Quarter Final - Sat 12th March - KO 17:30

We were on the train going to that game not knowing whether the game was going ahead after a pitch inspection. The state of the pitch, it was lie a ploughed field. David Burrows, one of the worst players ever in an Everton shirt, was destroyed that day by some unknown winger, Junior Bent. They had about 25 chances and couldn't hit the proverbial cow's arse with a banjo. Talking of which, do you remember Stuart Barlow breaking away three times in injury time, one on one each time and fluffed every one.

Yup,Stuey had pace to burn,but wasn't known as Barn door Barlow for nothing was he?lol

When Costa's shot ran along the goal-line , it felt that it was our day.

At that moment I swore I saw Howard Kendall sitting on the crossbar blowing it along the line and away to safety!!.

Bristol City was probably the toughest game that year mate,they battered us down there,then Matt Jacko hit a screamer from 25 yardslol

Remember it well mate, I done my ankle in, 4hr journey home in agony.

Barrys reaction to the bit. ...classy in a way...didnt throws himself on the ground...probs liked it abit x

Slightly off topic this but what really crowned that game for me wasn't just Rom firmly shutting up that tragic club, but the ironic site of Chelsea looking to their bench strike force options and sending on John Terry up front lol

Oh how the mighty have fallen

Martinez got it spot on today. It was so much better to win ugly rather than be 'the entertainers' today.

Hopefully this can be a proper turning point and not another false dawn like City game at Goodison.
