Match Thread Everton Vs Chelsea - FA Cup Quarter Final - Sat 12th March - KO 17:30

[Shibbywiggles]

I'm a couple of pints in tonight..

Fancy us now..

I'm predicting an unexpected hero.

I'm feeling a McCarthy, Barry or Cleverley screamer in the last minute to win it now

Chelsea declare both Terry and Hazard are available tomorrow.

However, Terry has been out for a month with a hamstring injury and is not match fit. Hazard's father says, “Eden’s lack of form is due to an injury, an inflammation in the hip, that he’s been carrying now for three or four months,”

Everton will make a late decision on Lennon.

Palace winning with 5 mins to go, Reading a man down

Hopefully we can beat Chelsea tomorrow and get Crystal Palace so we can smash that smug tw@t Pardew.

 

[Neiziro]

Palace have beaten Reading 2-0

 

[The Equaliser]

Can we get Naismith back just for this ?

No?

1-2 then.

Nice preview.

 

[Neiziro]

3-2 Everton from 1 down is my prediction. Hazard and Oscar for them. Funes Rom and a JT own goal for us.

Regardless of your opinion of Martinez & whether he should stay or go, every blue needs to be behind the team from the minute the first beat of the drum for Z-Cars goes off tomorrow afternoon.

Discussions about Martinez can wait until about half 7/8 tomorrow night, until then our only focus should be Chelsea.

Tomorrows huge, we've waited 21 years to see us lift a trophy & hopefully tomorrow were another step closer to ending that drought.

I've wanted to see Everton win the FA Cup more than any other trophy, more than anything else in my life since I was a 7 year old kid, every year I've looked on enviously on cup final day as another teams captain has lifted the Cup, in that time I've been left devastated by defeats to Port Vale, Bradford, Newcasle, Villa, Boro, Chelsea, Wigan, Liverpool & Arsenal. I've believed 99 was going to be our year because we'd won it in 33 & 66, been devastated at coming so close in 2009 and then the semi's in 2012, before being left flattened by Wigan in 2013.

Tommorows our biggest game of the season, Goodison needs to be intimidating, angry, aggressive & behind the lads from start to finish. It should be bouncing come half 5. It needs to be the bear pit that we all know it can be.

We can beat these, we shouldn't be fearful of anything, it's in our hands & hopefully this time tomorrow were all celebrating a return to Wembley & being another step closer to Phil Jagiela doing what Jack Taylor, Dixie Dean, Brian Labone, Kevin Radcliffe & Dave Watson have done before him. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum.

Radcliffe?lol

We're doomed.

Good writing and picturing Sappie lad.

As I said in the other thread, I'm not feeling optimistic about this. I will be pumped up by 6.30 pm tomorrow like.

Might go and watch Barça beforehand to get me in the mood for Tiki Togger.

You know it's 530 kick off right?

 

[RomanReigns]

a draw would be like defeat tomorrow

I live in Spain mate. Thanks for the heads up though. I am prone to absent minded cockups.

Palace is the best we could possibly get in the semis. They're woeful atm they struggled to beat Reading, 14th in the English Championship.
