    Everton won the FA Cup on 20 May 1995, beating Man Utd 1-0 at Wembley. Today is therefore the 18th birthday for anyone born the day after Paul Rideout headed Everton to glory.

    An entire generation of bitters have become men with no trophies lifted in their lifetime! Enjoy your first legal drinks <cheers>

    ....................& the club that once proudly declared that the League title was it's "bread & butter" has just seen the 23rd anniversary of the last time they touched that trophy, come & go...........

    p.s. & you have the temerity to call Blues "bitter"?

    LOL, just for YOU astro -' Looking down on the redshite, down on the redshite, we're looking down on the redshite' :)

    Not being funny, but given it was an attempted (a ****e one btw) piss take of Everton & I'm the only one on the site these days, I doubt Paddy Power would have offered strong odds like.....<laugh>

    It's not a piss take, it's just a simple fact.

    knew there was a reason i didn't gamble, not worth it lol.

    i have predicted a few good crackers over the years though, but people will just say easy with hindsight, so no point, and dif when money is put down on things as apposed to not beting.

    No my helmeted friend, the timeline is a fact, the narrative you've applied to it, is a piss take....

    It's crap though & you won't see me defending it, as we should have certainly come closer to the Mickey Mouse during that period by taking it more seriously.

    However, 1x Mickey Mouse in 7 years is hardly a position of strength to be shouting the odds about trophies is it?

    in fairness big bird it was a bloody funny wind up.

    you're come back was as good as it could be but given the 3 fa cups, 4 league cups, one uefa cup and one big eared champions league.. not to mention a few tin pots and even finals reached along the way i'm afraid you were always going to struggle

    Take it on the chin as a special wind up just for you old son!

    <applause> classic one!

    5 years , 7 years, 10 years or 23 on the other issue, would make no difference mate. <whistle>

    It's 1x Mickey Mouse in 7 seasons mate - the accepted way of defining time on the football calendar..........

    Should it not be the other way round? This implies Mickey Mouse has got an Everton watch?

    <laugh> haha, that's a low blow you twat.

    Sad thing is given that I heard that Stubbs was in with a very good chance, I'm actually warming to Martinez & he's a total donk in my book - so it's a sad state of affairs.

    I really fear for us tbh.
