We have to believe. It's a one off game tonight plus the players have to repay for that Derby performance. They play for the fans and themselves tonight. Do they want to make history?

Today’s Wembley semi-final is a fitting occasion for us to mark the first anniversary of the passing of one of the most important men in Everton history, Sir Philip Carter.
A figure who is sorely missed, but never more so than on big matchdays like today, the oft-spoken description of 'the most successful chairman in Everton's history’ only goes some way to defining the impact Sir Philip Carter had on our football club.
Indeed, those trophies he helped deliver to Blues fans everywhere are just one aspect of the legacy created by an understated gentleman who also had a profound impact on the city of Liverpool and the game of football nationwide.
Against a grim backdrop of recession, hooliganism, dwindling attendances and a European club ban, Sir Philip, a hugely successful businessman before taking up his first role at Goodison, was one of five men who instigated a process that would forever change the complexion of English football - the creation of the Premier League.
Now the world’s most lucrative association football competition - without the input, vision and drive of Sir Philip, it may never have come into existence.
By the time the Premier League got underway in 1992, Sir Philip - in his role as Everton Chairman - had already sealed two league titles, an FA Cup and a European Cup Winners' Cup - not to mention defeats in the final of the Milk Cup and the FA Cup twice, plus another near miss in the league during what remains the most consistently successful spell the Club has enjoyed since the 1930s.
Sir Philip Carter passed away on 23 April 2015, aged 87. Today his image will appear on the big screens at Wembley in the build-up to the Emirates FA Cup semi-final clash with Manchester United.
Indeed, late April has become something of a sad time for Evertonians, with the anniversaries of the passing of Brian Labone and Alan Ball to be marked on Sunday and Monday respectively.
So often in the world of football the word ‘legend’ is spouted without true justification.
But pick away at the fabric of this football club and it is undeniable the legacy created by Brian Labone and Alan Ball makes them worthy recipients of such a distinguished prefix.
Taken at the tragically young ages of 66 and 61 respectively, it is hard to believe we have been without Labby for 10 years and Bally for nine.
Perhaps the greatest achievement by the revered duo was their contribution to Everton’s emphatic league championship triumph underHarry Catterick in the 1969/70 campaign.
Individually, however, their relationship with Evertonians went far beyond a single season of glory – however notable.
Indeed, their ties with this Club - much like their hero status among those on the terraces - endure.
And Labone’s famous declaration that ‘one Evertonian is worth 20 Liverpudlians’, coupled with Ball’s assertion that ‘once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same’, means supporters’ admiration for the pair is rightly timeless.
In addition to that 1970 league triumph, Labone picked up a title winner's medal in 1963 and sampled FA Cup glory after one of the most dramatic Wembley finals of all time three years later.
Ball, meanwhile, joined Everton just weeks after dazzling for England in their famous 1966 World Cup final win over West Germany. Fusing industry and determination with breathtaking natural ability, he became an instant fans’ favourite.
In the decades after hanging up their boots, both players continued to make regular trips to Goodison Park; the respect and adoration which existed between the two men and their club forever mutual.
Indeed, Labone worked tirelessly on matchdays, looking after sponsors and making himself typically accessible to all he encountered.
Even on the night of his passing, the former defender was among Evertonians, attending a supporters' awards night in the Winslow public house on Goodison Road.
Despite managing and having strong connections with a number of other clubs, including Stoke City, Manchester City and Portsmouth, Ball served as honorary president of both the Everton Collection Charitable Trust and the official members’ club, Evertonia (now FOREVERTON), and dedicated much of his time to a Club with which he felt an unwavering, lasting attachment.
Legends in the truest sense of the word, Sir Philip Carter, Brian Labone andAlan Ball, today and always, remain in the thoughts of everyone at Everton Football Club.

The mindless optimism is back. I can't help it- although I voted in the "of sound mind category" at the start. Can't wait for kick off. We are so gloriously unpredictable we could win. I have two bottles of pinot and a large supply of doughnuts to achieve the required zen like calm to be able to watch. I'm also going to break the rule I have had since I was deemed old enough to bet (a looooong time ago) and back Everton. To win. So it will be my fault if it all goes horribly wrong.
They owe us big style, they really do. And today the debt will start to be repaid.......she says hopefully.

Gone from not being arsed to being hugely arsed yet having zero expectation...just hoping it's not another battering and a lie down.
That said, no matter what we are now we're still not them eh, there's always that...
Either way, times are changin', and that can only be a good thing I reckon.
And no matter where we all side in relation to the manager, today's about standing together.
I just hope the players feel the same.
