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

[WA Toffee]

I said it before..He came from Flamengo, so did Zico. The standard has been set.

That's not too much pressure is it?

I tried my best to make him Palace, took him to Selhurst for his very first game, saw a five goal thriller, a Palace win and yet despite that (or perhaps because of that) he decided to support Everton.

Funny isn't it. I tried my hardest not to foist my support of Everton on my kids, as it's barely been a pleasure for me for a number of years! Then when my son was nine and we were back visiting my parents for Christmas he asked me to take him for the boxing day game against Sunderland, who were bottom of the league. Tim Howard got himself sent off giving away a penalty in the first few minutes and we lost 1-0, an awful game. He's been a blue ever since, but my conscience is clear!

Beto up front please. I think he gets better from here.

well obviously. what’s the alternative?

This game feels like a distraction in my head despite wanting to win a cup.

 

[DualityNSNO]

I mean he played a full game just before joining us, not surprising he's match fit

Know what you mean. Giving how thin the squad is, a good cup run feels a bit of a luxury. Still, if we win it keeps up the momentum and boosts morale (if we lose, sod it, it’s only the cup ).

We’re split 2-2 now. Me and my eldest son are Palace, my youngest son and his son are Blues.

Got a fantastic seat in the Upper Bullens.

COYB.

It might be mine . I’m going in the top balcony to make sure I’ve been in each part of the ground , I’ve vague memories of being in there about 1974 but I want to make sure.

The Upper Bullen's.

IMHO, the best speck in the ground, near the front and by the half way line.

Stood and sat everywhere at Goodison in my time, and this for me is the ideal view of play.

Remember when we signed Niasse? He came more or less straight from the Russian season, yet it was claimed for months that he 'wasn't match fit'.

To be fair, Niasse wasn’t played because he was eye-bleedingly bad. The ‘match fit’ thing was a lie to try and cover for that

Barring injuries, I'm going to try to approach this game as a fun opportunity to watch the team play without much stress. If we lose, too bad, but no points dropped. If we win, great! Another round to look forward to.

Could be a lot worse!!

Yep, sat there for the league game against Bournemouth this season. I was 2nd row. Absolutely perfect view.
