Match Thread Everton 0-2 Bournemouth FA Cup 8th Feb 2025

[NathDogg]

Bit of a shame that we didn't turn up on the weekend as the Cup has really opened up for mid-table clubs if they get a favourable draw. On the other hand though I found it hard to care really (once again) about any of the Cups and as long as we get the points in the league to stay up for our summer rebuild I am content this season.

Our start was depressingly slow and mistake filled, and conceding that ridiculous second killed us - a real shame as the second half showed some fight and commitment, and the way the draw opened up is a bit of a killer.

Still think VAR coming back in Round 5 will close that draw again though mate, and sort it for the remaining scabs. Really don’t get that decision either.

It will probs be a city-united final again if they don’t get drew together and also avoid the remaining prem teams left later on today. The hot/cold balls in the bag will allow for that - ooooeeeeerrr missus!

It’s really sad to see what the FA have allowed to happen to the cup, removing replays and going straight to extra time and pens just to pander to the cryarse scabs moaning about too many’s games, when they’ve got massive squads costing millions of pounds.

A competition that’s a shadow of its former glorious self.
