Good point. I can't ever remember a second leg semi at home. When was the last?

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Was it Middlesbrough in the 70s?

same here cant remember, the last few united, liverpool i think we might have got through had we been at home second

 

[BringBackSwales]

Scum Liverpool and West Ham all home first, also 81 was dippers home first (Alf fucking grey)

 

[SPIDERBOY]

I'll take that draw all day long,good thing as some have said is,Home for the 2nd leg
What would be the allocation for goodison,4/5k?

 

[borassic]

Atmosphere will be brilliant for this. Everton always vocal and will bring loads as will we for the first game. Can't wait!

 

[Len Rum]

Let's face it nobody wanted the red dippers on current form. Stoke are the weakest team on paper and were the best draw.We got the 'grand old team ' in between.
Could have been better, could have been worse, but the first leg away gives us an advantage.

 

[ninjamonkey]

We'll likely need to beat both dippers to win this cup. Can't say we won't of earned it if we manage it.

Won't be much of an invasion judging by how many usually stay until the end...

 

[xgorton]

Was it Middlesbrough in the 70s?

Yes the 74 and 76 semi-finals 2nd legs we're both at home.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

hope we beat the blue dippers and get Scouserlona at wembley , the media jizz fest over Klopp and his disciples will be nauseating , but just like 2014 , we can burst their bubble , their current squad has very little experience of Wembley and cup finals and are proven bottlers when the chips are down , we will be firm favourites if we have VK,merlin and Kun available. But Martinez and his team will be a big test .

So we play them 3 times in 3 weeks. We might get them in the FA Cup yet as well on the 9th or the 30th.

Getting to know you...

 

[Marvin]

Should be a proper semi-final. Glad we're playing them at home in the 2nd leg

Hopefully by then Aguero, Silva and Kompany will all be back and in form.

 

[worsleyweb]

Will be lots of Everton in our end - will be 8000 plus Everton at ours.

Should be fun 8,000 in our end.

 

[worsleyweb]

Should be fun 8,000 in our end.

No 5000 official - many in our end though. They have phenomenal away support.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Ours ain't bad either and it's only down the road on the 56. How many do we get at Goodison for a semi? I'd fancy this one if I can get a ticket.

I got laughed at last night when I stated that we should get a full house for our semi final home leg if we played one of the Scouse teams.I still stand by that.

I will be amazed if it is not full.

 

[oakiecokie]

I will be amazed if it is not full.

With the away leg first and we get a half decent result, I cannot imagine it not being full.Everton will certainly sell out.
