Ok, we're on bbc later tonight, and they couldn't give a tuppenny stuff about us, so instead here's a little history about Everton, Goodison and the FA cup.

  • Goodison Park was the first league ground to host an FA Cup final in 1894.
  • 5 fa cup wins 7 times losing finalists
  • A somewhat chequered history of fielding ineligible players
  • The first match that numbers were worn by players for identification was in the 1933 FA Cup final. Everton were allocated 1-11 and Manchester City 12-22, goalkeepers also wore numbers. William (Dixie) Dean was the first player ever to wear number nine. Everton won 3-0
  • The quickest sending-off of a player in the FA Cup was at Goodison Park on 5th January 1997. The unfortunate player was the Swindon town defender Ian Culverhouse, who was dismissed after just 52 seconds for handling the ball on the goal-line from an Andrei Kanchelskis shot. After Culverhouse was dismissed for this Red-Card offence, Kanchelskis scored from the resulting penalty, and Everton won the tie 3-0, with Swindon Town eventually being down to 9 men.
  • The Gosling derby FA cup game saw itv fail to realise extra time could be a possibility and somehow cut the live feed of the game to the rest of the country outside of the north west just as the ball broke and Gosling scored. Painfully for the kopites at itv, it meant a full public apology for their stupidity and numerous replays of the missing footage.

“Peterborough’s a good side. I was pleased with a courageous 0-0 draw. Thought Pickford had some nice saves but I expect they weren’t too difficult.

Keane continuing to show why he’s in the PL. Young and Seamus continue to impress. Would like to have started Jake but he’s about five months out.

I was encouraged with our poise in the back and when we pressed twice during the game, the lads’ training kicked in and they immediately retreated to an 8-2 formation.

As I’ve said many times, this was here long before me. Lots of distractions.”
