COYB.

4-2 aet would be pens I believe

4-2 after extra time would be 5-4 to city

 

[carolinablue232]

Yup. Some one summed up all the scenarios a few pages back. Win or draw sends us through of course. 1-0 city after extra time sends them through, 2-1 AET means pens, 3-2 aet we would go through I believe. 4-2 aet would be pens I believe (6-6 if you count away goals as 2)

Haha this is too much. Why not just use a standard yes or no? Silly FA.

Come on the mighty blues lets get to Wembley again.

 

[Skeleton Crew]

That's surely wrong

its close enough.

The glaring issue tis the draw. Any draw greater than 2-2 we go through on away goals. Right?

 

[Thomas69]

Dare I say I would feel much more confident with Howard in net.

 

[Andy McGurk]

Just have a couple of cans now mate, ideally I like to be about 4 cans in by kick off, just to take the edge off.
Also call your boss in advance and warn them you will either be late or a bit worse for ware if things go well.

Sadly I have to pick the wife up from work as she can't drive, so can't really drink. Wish I could get smashed, being self employed is great like that, the only person that tells you off is the mirror.

Away goals only come into effect if it's still level AET, if I remember correctly. If it's 4-2 City on the final whistle, we're out of the cup.

Any draw at all and we go through. It's not that hard, is it?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

So then. Good fortune? A brilliant backs to the wall 90 minutes and even maybe a Lukaku winner or a Barks 35 yarder smacked off the bar. Who knows?

Then there's the usual. Totally hammered 3 or 4-0 or 1. Perhaps if that happens we can hold out hands up and accept the better side wins.

Then there's the Everton Way - the slow, sadistic, hurtful, luckless (in a Collina/Thomas/Clatt etc) way - where we hold our own (0-0 or 1-1) for 87 minutes before a horrible deflection off some poor unfortunate MoM Evertonian cruelly beats Tim Howard and we succumb in extra time to another and perhaps - in Villarreal style a late killer as we chase a winning away goal.


I voted history, but it's just a personal preference and I understand some are into pain
Which is it to be? History or Pain?

Ummm AND draw and we win. We have a goal more.
