FA Cup QF Draw | Everton (A)

[Sid C]

so you first lose to us in the league game next week. then we will think about fa cup later.

Fair do’s

Was at both the 0-0 games,king Colin was cup tied.

I had forgotten that Colin Bell was cup tied for that fixture. It was encouraging that City as a Second Division team could take on one of the top teams (and ultimate FA Cup winners) in home and away matches.

In retrospect it was probably as well that City lost as I am not sure that City were quite ready to take on United in the SF. Especially without Colin Bell.

I noticed you also support Hibs,remember J.Plenderleith ?

A bit before my time. I moved to Edinburgh from Manchester in 1983. Plenderleith had left City before I started watching them in 1963 although friends recall him. I have more memories of Bobby Johnstone from his FA Cup Final appearances who was a legend for both Hibs and City.

Hobos? isn't that what Hearts fans call them?

Aye from the depths of the Scottish First Division. They are playing Queen of the South tonight!

I suppose they are a bigger team than Arbroath or Alloa?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Only just recovered from the shenanigans in the 1981 cup quarter final v neverton at badison, fucking Wild West that day

 

[TonyM]

Score 6 and we should he safe enough.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Never mind City, you still have the league, league cup, and champs league so you will get a treble

No stopping the Toffee express

Ha Ha... I shall now go into hiding

Go for it. haha

 

[Mancity1980]

Been thinking about would I rather win the league game or FA cup game vs them?

Seriously think if we win our next 4 and beat Utd we’ll be champions.

Still, think I would go with the FA cup match, we can always claw back the league and the Rags have to play Liverpool again.

I find these questions annoying, why is it a choice? We want to win both. I remember some journalist asking Mancini about if he would rather win the fa cup or get top four, it is just lazy journalism. You try your best at both, enjoy hopefully achieving one and move on if unsuccessful (we did do both that year!)

 

[Mancity1980]

agreed. much rather play them than spurs.

I would love to play Spurs in the FA Cup Final and wiped the floor with them. 1981 was hard to take as a 9 year old.

 

[The Colonel]

Great draw, hopefully a cracking game. Ties like this are what being a fan is all about.

One of the great Kippax atmospheres this night, shame the cameras only captured the north stand where Everton were housed

For some reason I ended up in the Platt Lane for this one...believe me there were loads of Everton in there too especially on the 'corner'

Not the FA Cup but still reckon we can probably finish off Mourinho’s career in England at Wembley in April

I went to that game and noticed the state of our pitch on viewing that game, and we had one of the best pitches in the league at the time! Mind you, it was 40 years ago and not like the bowling green-like pitches in the PL nowadays!

If Everton can put 5 past them how many can we score?

Hope it’s not too far off topic but the BBC are running a poll for goal of the round. Gabby’s excellent finish is one of the choices:

FA Cup: Bernard wins the vote for your goal of the FA Cup fifth round

Everton's Bernard wins the vote for the goal of the FA Cup fifth round.

That was a cracker, so far it's looking like the best for me, being objective.
Some other great shots though.

Always looks a hard draw on paper but what I have seen of Everton this season they are very average and let's not forget the rags went there and won in league cup with a 2nd choice team. One of the better draws in my eyes

 

[balotellishaircut]

Let’s just beat these scouse cunts after the covid remarks.

Don’t really get the love on here for neverton, there exactly the same as the red shite.
