That was a shocking decision, I don't know of any other team getting flagged off when so clearly onside.

Alan Davies has had death threats today, also The Hillsborough charity refused his donation. He's against Liverpool refusing to play on a date, horrible kopites like to twist everything thou so now he's a victim for pointing out how deluded they are.

Ryan Giggs is world class and relies on his footballing brain to compensate his age. Pienaar has no where near the ability in his feet or head to even consider he has a chance to last till he's 39 in the prem. Plus ageing players get moved more central were he is not needed, how many wingers in the league are older than 32? Everton can't afford to spend £5 mil on a stop gap.

I have watched him and he's more like David Beckham, superb passer of the ball, he's got a shot on him so I can see the Gibson comparison. Pienaar is not the best player at the club, never was (Arteta), never will be (Fellaini/Osman/Baines/Heitinga/Distin/Drenthe/Jalavic), the reason he plays on out on the wing is because he's behind so many better players than him at the club. Just look at his stats, they're pathetic we were lucky to get £3 mil for him.

Strongly linked with Spurs in Jan for £6 mil, hardly in champ man dreamland of RVP. £6 mil for any winger Pienaar's age would be a shocking waste of the club's scarce resources. £5 mil was considered extortionate for Distin and he is considerably fitter and plays in a position were age tends to be a bit more forgiving.

should have been another red for the kopites

I'd rather Doni played based on him being shite , don't know anything about Jones but he can't be worst than Doni. Only had a pound in my skybet account so put a cheeky 50p on a yaktrick so might turn into a score to put on the national with a bit of luck

Happy to see Bellamy playing, only player who I'd consider a threat.

He's only got about 2 years left in him with no re-sale value. Would like to see more of Gueye and Drenthe next season and Moyes bring in Elm or Holtby if we have any money as well as Holiet to add competition.

I'd understand if they were playing utd, but Everton would have been the perfect game to play and remember.

Argh! Just watched the Vic post-match video on the OS and he doesnt come across confident about the derby, didnt help that it mentioned we've only won 1/11 semi finals against them

Holiet or Moses. could have had Piatti or Ben Arfa for that last summer

Gueye got a goal and 2 assists, Osman still pips him for MOTM imo though, with Pienaar a close third.

MOTD is a joke we should have been on second. The Newcastle goal is nowhere near good enough to warrant being on before us, also the Chelsea game didnt have much to it either.

I'd prefer Spurs (also Ledley King should retire after todays performance), wouldn't want a repeat of 2009 final be heart breaking to lose to them again, plus Redknapp face will be priceless when we're lifting the cup

Just had a bad spell for me, couldnt see the general football, then couldn't load the site back up.

Can see us setting a Wembley high scoring record and completely embarrassing the 'King and his flock

Think Gueye has earned his place with his performance today Agree with MikeO's team, maybe Hibbert instead of Neville depending on who the shite play on the wing

One of the easiest games we will ever have, Sunderland never threatened/showed up. Hard to choose a MOTM as we never really got out of 1st gear, tbh we didnt have to. Osman, Gueye, and Pienaar made the difference but didnt really shine. Think Osmans superb finish just edges it.

No idea what happened to Heitinga there, hopefully nothing serious

Lovely strike from Gueye

Yawn, this match is making me feel sleepy

Didnt expect to see McFadden start a game and struggling to work out our formation today. It's a weakened team but should still be enough to beat Sunderland Howard Hibbo Heitinga Jags Neville Gueye Osman Fellaini McFadden Pienaar Straq

No idea, quotes from what the papers say.
