Draw for the next round - last 8

[peteblue]

Difficult not to like Hiddink isnt it?

I'll tell you after we play them.......

Always had the view that if we are going to win this piece of tin, then we would need to beat Chelsea at some stage.
Much better to play them in the QF rather than SF or Final.
Despite our recent home form, I am glad that this is at Goodison
The crowd at the 'Old Lady' has become jittery and nervous recently, BUT it will be bouncing and at it's intimidating best for this one, and WILL carry us over the line.
Lukaku brace. 2-0 home win.

There's some vile racists amongst their fans and this, coupled with their wearing of scruffy jeans, means that they must be beat.

 

[helpimonfire]

Doddle. Semi here we come.

 

[peteblue]

What a great draw! It'll be a cracker. My crystal ball says we play Hull in the final.

fixed........

 

[TheBigIguana]

Yes.

In fact, the 'top' comment on our Facebook page is this;

I agree with you in that we can't get revenge for that. But we can for that end of game debacle in January

Anything but an early kick off please

It will be an early kick off. The only way it would have been a time that best suits a home crowd advantage/atmosphere, was were it an away game to a Sky 4 club...sorry, but that is how cynical I have become about football.

We owe Chelsea for getting us banned from Europe in 1985.

Too right mate, those wall pushing cockneys........

Although our home form hasnt been good we've got to make a home draw in the 6th round count! Lets hope we're not chosen for any early kick off. Much rather play at tea time Saturday or 4pm Sunday for this one. Hostile as possible please.

On the hostility front I could not agree more.

We say it often about having GP like a bear pit for a game, but it really should not be hard to raise an intense, loud and hostile atmosphere against these should it.

They are a talented but media and officials favoured team with absolutely obnoxious fans - do we need any more motivation to give them a Galatasaray "welcome to hell" type atmosphere?

Any truth ,that Clattenburg is ref ?

 

[chicoazul]

Too right mate, those wall pushing cockneys........

Oh wow.

 

[irishblue11]

hopefully a saturday evening kick off, goodison is always more intimidating under lights.

 

[Neiziro]

When was the last time we gave one of the "top clubs" an absolute walloping?

 

[mutley]

Win lose or draw they will have a very hard game on the Wednesday night, while our fans and players will be chomping at the bit to get at them on the Saturday night.

 

[deipnosophist]

Course we are, but so are Villa, Newcastle and Leeds. When I say Chelsea are a big team, I mean the way they are still noshed by the media and every moron from Oslo to Jakarta licks up the jizz puddle of mass media hype.

The fact we have been above them all season means nothing to the tory luvvies at BT Sport et al.

One of the internet's great lines ...kudos.

Knowing our luck, it'll be Clive Thomas with Collina and Clattenburg on the lines
