Ticket sales have definitely picked up on how they were yesterday.

Only a few seats left in the Park End, down to really restricted views in the LG.
 
I'm more confident of a win at their place, not so sure about tonight. Hopefully I'm wrong though, the times I miss games on telly means we tend to play ok.
 

Probably go ahead and then concede to draw or lose.

As I predicted for the Spurs match.

We will batter them with a 1-2 loss.
 
City fan in peace here!

I'm gonna be heading off from Mcr to Goodison around 4pm, can't wait. I usually hate going to Liverpool as historically we've always been terrible on merseyside. Recently we've had better look a Goodison which has made for a more enjoyable set of away days.

I'm really unsure about tonight. I'm confident we'll get a decent result but who knows, you're overdue a win against us and we've not played well since the first few games of the season. Aguero being back is huge for us, he's had a couple of games to get 100% now, scored against Watford the other day so it's most likely he'll bag tonight. Bony being injured is great as well as it means we'll probably see Iheanacho who's been excellent so far this season. We'll have the mangaler at the back with Ottamendi, they're terrible together (despite partnering each other at Porto) and I'd imagine Clichy will make his first appearance in months at LB. Sagna has RB locked down, it's scary to think he's keeping Zabaleta out of the team atm. If I was a betting man I'd have a tenner on both teams to score.

Don't be dissapointed about the no shows tonight, we've got a similar issue for our home game. Apparently paying an extra £20 to watch you a week before in the league is more attractive than a semi final... go figure that one out! It'll be our 4th semi in this competition in recent years. We've only sold one out against the rags. But regardless of who wins this semi, I'm sure both teams will suddenly be flooded with demand to go to wembley, you'll all hear cries of, well I've been a Blue for 30+ years so I deserve to go despite not bothering to show up to a game in this competition for the past decade.

I'm hoping we win 10-0 tonight so you scouse so and so's don't turn up in our home leg - apparently City thought it would be funny to sell 8,000 tickets to you lot above us - I'm gonna be wearing a helmet and will make sure to bring a coin purse.

As for the people slating us, calling us a 3rd division team and so on; I'll cast a thought your way when I'm pissed out my face in May after winning our third title in 5 years! ;)

Finally, on a side note, I've done a lot with Dave Kelly and the Blue Union in regards to the £20's Plenty campaign, he's a great guy and has made me more fond of your club! The work he's put in for the FSF has helped push Everton further forward than most other clubs so good on him and anyone else involved!
 

Not gonna get too excited tonight as I know full well we have a 5-1 defeat in our locker for the return leg.

Well done mate for being involved in the £20's Plenty Campaign.

Enjoy your trip mate (but not too much), I don't mind City, touch jealous that the Arab family didn't buy Everton! It's your neighbours that I actively despise.

Nice one with your work on the Twenty's Plenty campaign.

Three titles in five years is excellent but we might have given you a bit more completion if Bill had found us a rich Middle Eastern shiek.

Don't take the slating too serious mate, I needed to fill the word count out a bit.
