The Official Everton thread...

Well, crappy first half. Could have been 3 down. Lines,an fked us with a crappy decision when Drenthe scored a perfectly good goal. Better in the second half, but chances were few and far between. So they had the first half, we the second. A draw would have been a fairer result than nil points. Oh well.

I never believed them when people said decisions even themselves out...

but that linesman must have been watching when one of his colleagues decided Saha was onside because Kocielny attempted to clear a ball over the top, and a "new phase" of play had started and thus Saha was now onside, and the goal stood.

It's a much better feeling being on the right end of a wrong decision

strange thing about last night was how many poor off side decisions were called, almost like the linesman was a trainee.

Yup. Was very odd indeed. It was as though he was just guessing half the time.

He'd of got more decisions right if had had just bl**dy guessed

[TheHeretic]

I think our poor form can be explained by Gibson being injured. He comes back, and boom, 2 goals!

That is a great result for Everton, Swansea are no push overs.

Absolutely. We moved above them, so they are no slouch. Still really open in these mistake positions from 7th down. Only 2 points between ourselves, (and Sunderland) from Liverpool. I don't think they will catch Newcastle, to be honest, so they really should be looking behind them.

Well, glad Leighton had his free kick boots on, and Jelly scored another, which was important. Gibson played really well I thought. I genuinely think he was what we were missing in the middle.

Heard a rumour that drenthes loan deal has been terminated with immediate effect? Could be complete bks?

[Uhura fighter]

Game on tonight, you can stop hiding.




1-0 into the second half

[Cheburator mk2]

Bring on the team from the Midlands

[MaxAndRuby]

Very good result. Great occasion ahead for Merseyside.

[ArsE92]

I wish I could go.

I went to the semi and final in 2010 but I had a season ticket then, had to give it up last year though.

Chances of getting two tickets when I've been to no matches at all this season?

[ArtVandelay]

You played well last night, Sunderland were poor.

Could've been so much more than 2-0 had Mignolet not been on good form.

Good luck with the rest of the tournament

I didn't want us to go to wembley anyway...

I was there in 97 for our promotion push against Charlton (which we lost) it's too early to go back

I'd have been at sea for both the semi and final anyway

[TheHeretic]

bks... I've had no internetwebs since Monday! Missed the game, and everyfink! Still, it has this minute come on, and I have a backlog of crap to do from work. Pissflaps.

Still, Happy with Jelavic. Seems 5.something Million was not wasted on the lad.

[Audi 525i]

League table on BBC website has you ahead of Liverpool

That must be pleasing.

Possibly.

Maybe.

[TheHeretic]

Nice result. 7th for today at least. Hopefully Newcastle will get a result tomorrow, although I would happily swap league position over the lot over the park for a semi final win. Good goal by Anchovy, but he didn't look overly chuffed when he scored. Gibson and Jelly seem to have added a bit of spark to the team.

[TheHeretic]

Oh, and the Nike deal has been confirmed. Presumably it is for a record £4.30 over 50 years, or some such. Hopefully, they will have something new in the way of a strip.
