Winner Liverpool 9/4 Chelsea 5/2 Tottenham 33/10 Sunderland 17/2 Everton 19/2 I will abstain from a prediction of the finalists....
I know it is good to get excited, but lets not get ahead of ourselves, we have some league games before the replay and they will not be easy, Everton and "Cahill" will be difficult to beat, more extra time and then pens? Then of course if we manage that we will be underdogs i.e. not favourites against Liverpool and then Spuds/Chelski. Dreaming is fine, but we need every player fit and well and Bendtner and Campbell to start scoring goals! IMHO we still lack a decent forward. Campbell needs these next few games then a pre-season and then to kick on next season..Bendtner is at best a squad/bench player. But just in case you think I am a half-empty kind of guy...I think we are favourites to beat Everton, we just have to go out and prove it!
Sessegnon is the key now to our cup campaign. He is our fox in and out of the box imo and the player most likely to change a game for us. He was missed on Saturday imo, as an outlet when we are under pressure. On a huge surface like wembley, and an equally huge stage, he will excel. We will just scrape through v Everton (1-0) and beat Liverpool by 2-1. In the final we will win am epic battle v Chelsea, where Bridge will vent his hatred of John 'shags your mates missus' Terry, by heaving him into the middle of next year at the end of the game. There, that's buggered our chances, lol.
My only concern re: semi final is will our players freeze. Spurs, Chelsea & pool have players who have loads of experience and play there regularly just about every season. Still concern over, so us and Chelsea for the final. Bendy to score the winner.
What about O'Shea and Gardner and.... Errr... the best player in the world you have mentioned in your post Bendtner - OK maybe you're right - although MON seems to know what to say to these lads in that situation. Anyone got any idea of the date of the replay yet?
I dreamt that the final will be us v Bolton just to upset all the TV pundits, they will then make the final out as totally meaningless and dedicate it to Fabrice Malumba, then Sunderland being the nice club that we are let Bolton win and then I woke up in a cold sweat, bl--dy dreams, but I bet no one in the media gives us or Bolton a chance of getting to the final.
I'd say oshea, brown, gardener, Vaughan (play off final) , Bendtner, Larsson Sessegnon will handle the big occasion just fine.
Syd, I'm a psychic and know we will be FA Cup winners this season. I also won the £36m at the weekend on the lottery and I also have a 9 inch fun trumpet that can pleasure women just mentioning it. If only 1 of these comes true, I'll settle for having no money and a tiny knob.
As Everton forums are not other users friendly (I can understand not allowing posting but not viewing??) can you post some of their views after saturday and what might be different for the replay. I though Evertoon won the 2nd half and a double save from Mig just emphasised that you did not have a huge number of shots for him to save, Cahill's usual goal against us was a tad lucky as well. Mind we did not look like winning it in the 2nd half either, Campbell and Bendtner whilst not awful did not have great games. For the replay we will have Sess back and that means we should create more chances and with Clatterhard Fellini should not be able to run the game as he did on saturday. I see us a narrow favourites, one goal to win it, could be from a mistake or Ref stupidity, just like how you got the draw Boxing Day. Who ever wins between us I want them to go on and beat Liverpool, I presume Moyes will not put out your 2nd team for this derby? (MoN as much as we like him would have had to leave the country if we did not put out our best side against the mags.)
Before the semi draw was made I had an Everton v Spuds final. Hopefully I'm wrong............... Just hope we are there and I don't care against who.
Mine is It'll be at Wembley in the sunshine and at about 3:31 we will take the lead and hold it till the end or was that the dvd I just watched?
