I can remember us winning a cup buddy recently.

Start a strong side please n go all out to win it. And no extra time please.. I'll get home late enough so win in the 90mins

I was there that awful night we lost to them in the 5th round after beating Chelsea on penalties, typical Everton really. Hopefully we can get a result there and then get a home tie in the next round. Reading are not a bad side and have done reasonably in the cup in recent years. I remember that wonderful night when they beat the RS at Anfield in extra time. We should be quietly confident, however our record in the league cup is pathetic. Remember that ridiculous own goal by Lescott in the semi final in the last minute, we were quite comfortable till that went in. As usual we'll take a tremendous following, nobody has a better away support than us.

OG? Wasn't it that Lescott was outjumped by the 5'4" Wright-Phillips?

Something like that buddy let's hope it doesn't happen again. Hopefully we finally get in plain sailing in cup games no more silly mistakes like that again.

Am I crazy for saying let Lukaku rest this game? Kone has shown some bright spots. Let the man shine with Del lubing their back line up from the wing.

Any suggestions for parking near the stadium? By all accounts a bit of a nightmare

Sadly not mate. There's a few housing estates not a million miles away that you could use but still a bit of a walk.

Cheers mate, don't mind the walk, just don't wanna drive round this no-mark place for hours - prob end up using park n ride if there is one

I think there is mate. Not 100% certain though. Have a Google.

Yes

I think the team has had its fair share of changes this season due to injuries so no more is needed. Put out the strongest available and get the job done.

Sold out I heard macca,think its about 4500 going,to quote Bobby "phenomenol" it really is though

Quality away support as usual Dario if that's how many we've sold for Tuesday night game at Reading.
