Match Thread Everton Vs Man Utd - FA Cup Semi Final - Wembley - Sat 23rd April - KO 17:15

29 years following Everton and I thought I was found away to deal with the inevitable heartbreak that we're so used to,that was before turning around at Wembley yesterday and watching my 6 year old lad try and fight the tears back after martial scored.it knocked me for six. I'm not normally one to have a go at our players too much but after seeing him like that I saw red. Watching that gang of [Poor language removed] Hawks. Approach us with the "we did our best, how unlucky were we?" Really wound me up. They've put 40 minutes of effort in to the last 2 months of football. Yes the manager is inept but there's no excuse for how they've laid down and died since the Arsenal game. People vehind me took exception to us having a go at the team. But in that moment after the [Poor language removed] that's gone before I couldn't help myself.

Big difference was one team worked their socks off for the whole game, even when they were under the cosh. They harried every time they lost the ball and just never stopped working. The other stank the place out for 45 minutes and then played great for the next 45 minutes. You've got to match work rate first, and we didn't.

Martial and Rashford worked their backsides off all game making space and chasing things down, putting pressure on our defence - we only did that in the 2nd half.

Stones was immense second half and dictated the play bringing the ball out and pushing us on. That lad is going to be something very, very special....unfortunately not at our Club with the grief he gets. Gibson too had a good game after so little game time.

Mirallas pee'd me off big time heading immediately down the tunnel at the whistle sulking because he only got a few minutes.....I don't care if I never see him and his ego in a blue shirt again....sulking kid, nothing more.

Tough journey home after a 93rd minute defeat.

When people are saying blues fighting amongst themselves,are we talking arguing or actual fisticuffs?

The lad sat near me came back from half time and said there was a propper kick off under the stand. I saw more pushing and shoving than fighting but there was alot of aggression. Personally i'm not arsed as half of them cant back it up but its not nice for the yo u ng kids to see.

His last 3 pen saves; all 3 in the same spot, 2 of them being against Everton.

I saw one 'fisticuffs', actually on Wembley way, with half the bloody Met stood yards away. Clearly ale / gear.

Plenty of verbals in the ground.. But to be fair, that happens anyway at a lot of games..

It's passion and frustration mostly IMO.

Apparently, an Everton fan smoke-bombed a train carriage of Mancs going north on the Chiltern Line after the game. He got off to leave at a station and then lobbed it in just as the doors were closing. Train was held up for 20 mins as the carriage was emptied of passengers.

The brains of the outfit, clearly..

In modern Britain with the threat level off the scale in London..

Aye, throw some gas around on a train..

Just got back after full weekend away. Gutted. Really thought we would pull it off somehow. First half was shocking in so many ways. Second made me believe again and late winner was cruel given decent second half effort. Can't believe those missed chances. Heart broken for the young lads who have had so few great days.....still believe they will return, but not with RM. it has all just gone too far.

Having a 5.15 k/o just because of the TVs was madness. It caused travel problems and there were a lot of drunk people around before the game started.
Utter madness and no suprise that there were a few incidents.

Yesterday reminded me why its inappropriate for my 9 year old to go aways.

Our fans are the most loyal, brilliant bunch but we also have some of the most stupid, racist, idiotic going.
