Everton's Fa cup record

Cork Evertonian · May 28, 2017

Before the Sky sports era we were a more successful club than both Arsenal and Man United.So we have basically been asleep for the past 30 years!Only Arsenal and Man United have appeared in more FA Cup finals and semi finals than us.I think for the amount of finals and semi finals we have played in a return of 5 FA Cups is a bit disappointing.But hopefully that will change starting next season.It would be nice to finally win a league cup as well.We have been very unlucky in the sense that we were the reigning league champions on both occasions that the football had to be suspended for the wars.If it wasn't for world wars 1 and 2 we'd probably have won a few more FA Cups as well.But we appreciate what we have won and hopefully the next few years will see a pile of trophies heading for our trophy cabinet.It could have been more but a lot of clubs would love to have a record of more top flight seasons than anyone else, 9 League Titles 5 FA Cups and a European trophy.

Hello mate. Which end did Degsy score the first goal? How about Brace to Tricky 40 yarder bang top corner - who were we playing - what was the score? How about the twice taken free kick both times scored (which end, which opponent?)

@crockyblue79 Did you miss this?

Which is sadly how far we have fallen. In 1995 we had won 5 FA cups Arsenal 6. Also league titles we were both on 9. So for over 100 years very comparable, 20 years of no investment/ lack of ambition/acceptance of failure has left us a million miles apart.

Yeah Arsenal won three league titles and seven FA Cups since 1995 and they also got to a Champions League final, while we became a club that saw finishing 7th as something worthy of celebration.I really hope Everton get back to being Everton again sooner rather than later.

No mate, we're the fourth most successful team in England.

Granted we are fourth in the list for league titles mate, but seventh in the list of all trophies won behind Villa but currently still ahead of Man City.

League title is the most prestigious and arguably the hardest thing to win as it's won over 38 (and more in the past) games.

That's why people say we're the 4th most successful English team.

What people say that? Us, as no way would Sky concede we are 4th on the list!

I dont think any of our fans celebrate 7th. The Muppets in high roles making stupid dvd's shouldn't be representative of the club.
