Your jealous bile can be seen from some distance chapped arse. Remind of, how was your quarter final game then? Ah bless.
Some people are getting obsessed with statistics. So Everton had 19 on target but only one of them went in. So what does that prove. Only that our defence and mainly our goalkeeper were playing well enough to keep all but one of them out. As for shots off target, again what does that prove. Nothing at all to me, it merely means they missed! The only important statistic that Chappaz seems to have forgotten was Everton 1 Sunderland 1.
Siddall. Don't misundertand, I'm not saying 1 FA Cup would suddenly make us man utd but rather it would elevate us from the also rans and give us something tangible to build on for the future. At the moment, trying to sell this club to players outside the area, on the strength of 1 cup win in 39 years is a hard sell indeed. Attracting them on the back of a trophy in 2012 and a European campaign, combined with Mon as manager, would be easier than selling breath to a dying man.
This is true.. But remember he quoted this at 4.30 in the morning..(he likes it on here at these times) so sleep deprivation may to be blamed....or maybe not.
Aye and the Newcastle stats make excellent reading don't they? Newcastle had NIL shots of which NIL were on target And a grand total of NIL possession. People in glass houses... Seems to me most of the second half we were playing for the replay which we've got, and how many times was our goal actually threatened? Bring on the FA Cup Semi Final draw...Games to be played at Wembley....Oooh that sounds good.
I think we were lucky - Everton have a skill for not scoring goals and rarely scoring 2 or more ...this was something in our favour from the start. However, on the balance of play, Everton were by far the better team and we basically got away with one.
