Romey 1878

Yak was at the game but I didn't see him. I only know because I watched Arteta's interview on the Wembley pitch on EvertonTV and they mentioned it.

Happy Birthday troublemaker

I seen one incident. A United fan punched a blue and the police had to let him through the barrier so he could go a different way. On another note; AJ was at the final with his kid and his kid was in the full Everton kit! Nugent and Barton were there too.

There is also the small matter of £20million+ pounds making there be absolutely no chance!

It's back http://www.fansfc.com/SpeculationDetails/517.html If that fee is correct then there's no chance of it being rejected.

I was in the Green Man yesterday and it was brilliant, I'll be hoping to go there again if I get a ticket for the final.

They probably would be at first, but with the added income they'd have just for finishing anywhere in the PL they'd soon be able to improve their squads.

I don't want them here. Just because their league isn't competitive enough doesn't mean they can jump ship. Really it's all about the extra income they could earn, that's the real reason they want to move leagues. They're not going to make the Premiership a 22 team league so the teams from the Championship would suffer just to accomodate their greed. No, I'm dead against it.

Because our allocation is lower for the final, so I'm not sure how they're going to decide who gets what.

I might not even have a ticket for the final so you're sadly mistaken. I'll be doing everything possible to get a ticket though, yesterday has made me want us to get to Wembley as often as possible.

The prices are on the official site. I'd post the link but the site won't load for me atm for some reason. Cheapest ticket is £34.60 (I think) and the most expensive is £93.

I really did only get charged £302 for my season ticket . I'm not going to complain when it's saved me £136 .

A team like Boro go with Adidas and we take a step backwards with LCS. Great work EFC .

I'd like to start off by saying how proud I am of my fellow Evertonians who made Wembley absolutely rock yesterday, it was a pleasure to play my own role in the stands. I'm also proud of the players for getting us to the final, they made me go mental in the stands when we won! Also, Wembley is an amazing stadium and if you ever get the chance to go then definitely do it. I was in awe. Hopefully I'll be going back there on the 30th of May to watch us lift the FA Cup . I was so pissed off when I found out the Manure side. For all Fergie has spoken good about us before the game he treated us with contempt with that line-up and didn't see us as a threat at all. I wanted us to win even more from that point onwards. In truth it was a terrible game wasn't it? Not much in the way of opportunities or any great skill. We resorted to hoofball on far too many occasions in the first half and it invited pressure on us. We were fortunate that Manure didn't really do anything with all their possession. We also went through short periods of the game when we'd completely stand off them and give them acres of space, I was shitting myself! Going forward we were very one dimensional and when Pienaar tried creating anything it usually broke down because of lack of support from the rest of the midfield and Saha being shite. Howard - Didn't have much to do in the game but a great performance in the shoot-out. I was worried when it went to penalties because he looks shaky but he was great for us. Hibbert - Woeful. He had me covering my eyes all the time because his positional play was terrible ("what the fuck is Hibbert doing?"). Also, he stagnated our right hand side because he didn't provide any support for Osman so Ossie was having to come inside with the ball, meaning if an attack broke down then we were easy pickings for Manure down our right. Jagielka - Apart from getting away with the penalty he was superb for us. It was very fitting that he should be the one to book our place in the final after the season he's had so far. YOU SHALL NOT PASS . Lescott - He was immense for us. Everything that came his way he dealt with excellently. Baines - A good game for him after a couple of dodgy games recently. Brilliant getting forward but his crossing let us down too often. Osman - It was a bit of a strange performance from Ossie; he drifted in and out of the game. He'd be influential for a couple of minutes and then completely disappear. Neville - Did his job (as captain and DM) perfectly yesterday. He's just so consistent for us and never wavers from his duties. We needed him to step up yesterday and he delivered. Cahill - Because he can't get forward as much now it's harder to notice him tbh. I didn't think he was at his best for us; a little lacklustre and tired, but he put a shift in. Pienaar - That's two excellent performances in a row from him IMO. He was a spark for us yesterday and was always looking to move us forward. It's a shame the rest of the team weren't on his wavelength when we were attacking. Also did his defensive work to perfection. I have no idea where he gets the energy from! My MOTM. Fellaini - I thought he had a good game without standing out. His passing was generally good, good hold up play, took the ball from Manure players when they were in good attacking positions on a few occasions. He didn't win enough headers for a lad of his size IMO though. Saha - Shit.

We tend to struggle for results at Stamford Bridge so I can't see anything other than a Chelsea victory unfortunately . 2-0 to them - Lampard double.

Pienaar got my vote.

That home shirt looks like a pile of wank. It looks like something shit errea would design for Boro. Although, I heard they've moved to Adidas or Nike (can't remember which) for next season!

Put it this way, our allocation is going to be less for the final than it was for the semi final (we'll have around 23,000 tickets I think).

I just hope that I can get a ticket for the final, I'll be gutted if I can't .

Well I was there yesterday and every single blue there did the club proud. We outsung the shower of shite that are Man United fans. That's testament to the passion of our fans because it really wasn't a great game to watch, but the fans backed the boys every step of the way. On what we've achieved; we've achieved nothing unless we win that cup on the 30th May. We'll have earned the cup as well with the teams we've had to play. On our future; it needs to have money in it. I know we're getting by with passion, commitment etc atm but what happens when those players that exemplify that passion leave or retire? Look at Cahill for example. He is responsible for so many of our points all on his own, but he's 30 now and isn't going to be able to pull us out of the shit for too much longer. It's looking like we do have a sort of replacement for him in Fellaini but it cost us £15million. How much is it going to cost us to replace Arteta, Yak, Lescott etc when their time comes? We need investment and we need it badly. I don't particularly want someone who has endless pockets like the Man City chairman so we can buy success (it wouldn't be the Everton way) but I want us to be comfortable and to not fear being outbid by someone as shit as Newcastle!

If Wolves spend fuck all as they did the last time they got promoted then it'll be a quick return to where they came from. If they add some experience to a very good young side then they could survive.

I hope your source is as full of shit as MGP is
