FA Cup Semi Final - who do you fancy?

[hullefc]

Did I say that "you utter melt?" (can't believe anyone still says that.)

I was just highlighting a negative to a positive. It will be great to win a cup but it comes at a price. Try thinking before you mash the keyboard in rage you neanderthal.



Did I say that? Defaulting to the term "kopite behaviour" when your limited intelligence is challenged by a reply that forces you to think is a sad state of affairs. Please think long and hard and read and comprehend the content of the post before replying. Thanks!



Ha true. Sad statistic though really!



Not at all! I would love to win something but it would come at a sizable price.



A 7-3 scoreline every week will do me!

A 'sizeable price'. Oh dear.

If we get West Ham, I see a clear path through to the cup. They may have scabbed a couple of results off us in the past two seasons, but in all the games we played we were the better team. Two of the last three matches we've played them off the park with 10 men. Payet? They'll need two or three of him to overcome us in a game that's crucial. If it's United, that's a whole different kettle of fish. Forget up and down league form, they have the kind of class that can find a way to succeed in a big game. I'd put us as slight second favourites to win a SF against them. Hopefully West Ham finish the job off. If that happens we should feel very confident indeed of going all the way and lifting the trophy.

I think we'd be third favourites myself, like...

I said nothing of the sort. Please don't put words in my mouth or try and force a comment to fit your own agenda.

I don't have any agenda, only an opinion. Sorry if that wasn't how you intended it to be read, however I wasn't the only one that read it in that manner. I won't apologise for what I said about kopite behaviour, any blue that wants Everton to lose to get rid of a manager, no matter how much you dislike them, that is just poor.

Am I the only one who thinks United would be the tougher opposition?? Regardless of league position they are used to the big occasion at Wembley and could easily turn up, they trouted us 3-0 at Goodison and the team is virtually the same.

On the other hand I think we'd destroy West Ham. I fear United a lot more than West Ham and IMO would rather West Ham in the Semi's than United. Plus West Hams fans are all of a sudden absolute beauts and have come out from under a rock thinking they're the new Barcelona when they have 1 decent player in a squad of 25+. Would love to taste their cockney tears after smashing them in the semi's.

You can stand by what you like. Nobody said anything about wanting use to lose to get rid of a manager. That's what you interpreted it as that and now you are forcing your opinion on others running under a wild assumption.

Oh dear? The teams performance given the squad we have has most blues calling for his head.

I'm sorry if you can't understand, I would try to dumb it down further for you but I don't feel it's possible.

Second Favourites in a game with two competitors. lol

Loving the Optimism.

We'll beat the harder team and roll over for the weaker team in the final.
Everton that.

"The date of that replay will be announced after the second leg of United’s Europa League last-16 tie against Liverpool on Thursday."

From the sounds of that we'll be on the Saturday if it's West Ham, or it's United and they're out of Europe.

Or if it's United and they get through to the next round of the Europa League, it'll be a Sunday.

I understand perfectly well, you want Martinez out and it doesn't matter what he does. Nothing will alter your view or stop you, so good luck with your quest.

A day out at Wembley in an FA cup semi final. With beatable opposition, which ever one it is. I think I'm quiet looking forward to it.

Saturday 5.30pm is the ideal. If it's Sunday though anything but the last abomination of an early kick off will do.

Most of this current United team aren't used to big Wembey occasions.

Lingaerd, Blind, Rashford, Schnederlin, Martial and the rest of them.

To be honest, I would fear Payet more than I would fear any of their players.

And that day they beat us earlier this season?

The whole Everton family was in a state of shock having lost our Godfather hours before.

Manchester United?

It is only the name they are trading on now.

We have nowt to fear but fear itself

Utd are average mate, the reason they coasted to victory at Goodison was more down to Howard Kendal passing away hours earlier. I do agree West Ham would be easier though.
