It’s a decent draw against a big club away from home with an outside chance of TV coverage. What would everyone be saying if we drew Millwall away ? Wear armour plating and don't take the kids!

It’s terrible if we get a big club, a lower-Prem club, another Championship club, a lower EFL division club or a non-league club. The only way our fans would be happy would be if we were drawn to play Sheffield Wednesday. Even then we would find some way of not winning through to the next round !

Ronio Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Last time I was at Goodison park was when Di Canio ripped them apart. Quality game and still remember fondly the Wednesday fans signing D I Canioo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven heroes that day,each and every one of them made me proud to be a Wednesdayite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleowl74 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Went to Goodison in the 90s. My over riding memories are the coach getting bricked by some kids as we drove past - they looked about 6 years old and that is no exaggeration. . Also getting pish wet through as the away end wasn’t covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hmm. Everton away. I am rarely negative but this does have a ‘worse of all worlds’ feel to it. -There’s no day out because of COVID -Its not a ‘glamour club’ so won’t get on TV -We will almost certainly be knocked out of the cup Everton will really want to win so will field a very strong side and should comfortably beat us. Maybe it’s a blessing it won’t be on TV but it would have been nice to get a day out to Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 3 hours ago, Bouncing Owl said: Ye, exactly. We aren’t going to win the cup as we are a poor side. So I don’t know what the problem is with drawing a big Premier side in the FA cup? I’m looking forward to it to see how we get on. Would’ve been better if fans were allowed in, mind you. Don't know what it is with some of our fans, just a set of whiners. Happy with Everton, with a chance of Spurs Got to be better than playing Barnsley or Luton..of course we would beat so easily just like the league. Quite like Everton, probably lose but who knows. Need to keep in the Championship so no biggie if we go out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarpurOwl Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 OK - when it got down to the last 4 balls in the bag who else went ‘please not Brentford or Luton - let it be Everton!’ - and Crouchy didn’t disappoint! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imre Varadi's Conker Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Absolutely, we first won the cup in 95/96 and they didn't win it until five years later. What move proof do you need that we'll beat Spurs too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that fascinating reading. Just found this on Youtube, highlights of the last time we beat Everton in the Cup in 1954. Good clear picture of how the ground was then but I think the commentary feels like its been added later. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three 1-1 draws and then lost 5-0 at home in 4th game, we was 5-0 down at half time, large numbers of Everton fans were delayed in traffic and some didn't get in till half time. Remember it well as we crossed paths when we left 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
