Pellegrini is such a classless human being, he's so lucky to have that job, but what an utter sh*t, would love to see him bottle the title.

I already miss Naismiths passion. Could have done with it tonight. Not many teams sell a player who scored a ha trick against the reigning champions!!!! Oh Everton do and don't replace him!!!!'

LOL at Redknapp struggling to agree that the ball was out of play and then the hissy fit when he was told that the bookies have City at 4/7 for the final.

Hope the bookies have got it right

Tbh his first few touches filled me with hope. He didn't get back at all though to help defend.

Seemed to loose shape. What's the point having Lennon on the bench and bringing on a 74 year old crocked striker to play instead

If you think things are bad now, I had to grow up through the 90's when we were proper [Poor language removed] and had sponsors like DANKA on our shirts and our one great hope was Danny Cadamarteri!

Bloody hell, the 90s were halcyon days compared to the 00's and beyond. At least we won a cup, had a group of players you genuinely cared about (going from the brink of oblivion to beating Man Utd at Wembley), the awesome sight of Andrei Kanchelskis destroying the opposition, a team with passion and character, lead by a proper Evertonian in Joe Royle. Sure, it didn't last long, but I'd take a 2 year stint like that again right now.

But when they grow up they won't be at GP??

To be honest if Rom and Stones don't turn up for a game like that then they probably won't be on their way anywhere soon. We've lost top players when we've been rubbish and when we've been champions. There's enough there whoever goes to achieve something. Funes Mori showed the way forward tonight. One or two more with his spirit and who knows.

This Saturday I'll be down at Prescot Cables watching lads playing for petrol money show more bite than Everton have shown all season. And the ales better.

[Poor language removed] chancers.

What's the ale then?

Thank god he didn't 'bottle' it against the RS.

It's a combination of everything. Bias refs and a big budget. How can you expect success against that. The odds are drastically stacked against you when not only are billionaire teams gifted goals against you but the fact that they are billionaire teams. It's why city are in a final they couldn't give a toss about.

Yeah right.
Watch how the sh1te turn that on its head next month.

If I love Everton some more, will she stop hating on me? I'm quickly running out of options here.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

I can't agree. City are simply a superior side with superior resources (money, and let's face it, that's all it's about now, a bazaar more than a sport). All things considered we played with 100% passion, and if we were outclassed technically i think that's just down to money. I will never criticise players who give 100%. We matched City, the best team in the Premiership, over two legs, bar a hair's breadth that could have gone in our favour on another day. No fire power upfront, but Rom is burned out, that's not his fault. Naismith should NEVER have been sold, and that's the only finger i'm pointing at Roberto; but then a lot of the fans on here didn't respect him anyway.

Feel rate down in the dumps me. Can't understand that sub to bring del off

Manchester city have spent hundreds of millions of pounds bringing in the best players and building a top football team. They are a better side than us with better players. They have a brilliant home record and average 3 goals a game. We needed everything to go right tonight to get through.

Blaming the manager comes across as stupid. City were the better side and probably edged it over two legs. The goal that shouldnt have been still hurts but should navas have had a penalty in the firs leg?.

We got the worst draw in the semi and c o me up against the best team left in the comp.

 

[DanEFC92]

Football is shabite. I'd advise everyone against it.

If Bill has sold this club and is waiting for it to go thru, he should keep the powder dry and wait for the new owners to sack Martinez so they can pick their own man. It would be interesting to see what kind of statement of intent they would make.

That is the only possible excuse for not sacking that helmet in the coming days!
