The nature of a cup competition means that the cup was on the line today

The owners won’t be arsed. They’ll probably try to get it scrapped in a few years with everyone else. The priority is the league. It should never be the cups. Doesn’t mean you have to tank them and moyes probably did make too many changes tonight but the game on Monday is the most important thing t...

The city is a kopite stronghold unfortunately.

It will take a generation of Everton challenging for things to redress that balance

Bluedylan1 has called me out for my negativity around Moyes (justifiably), so I run my gut reactions through a filter, but: This is what you get with Moyes. In the league he will be dependable. He will forever move the needle forward. But in cup games, or when it really, really matters, he will choke

Ahh, it's good to have the Everton of my young adulthood back

My Chemical Romance looking like they're adding an Anfield gig to their Wembley and Glasgow shows next year.

Be pretty "Everton" to not realise they need to be quite proactive and early to bag the big names for concerts next summer wouldn't it? (Much like the last game at Goodison!)

Everything has to be spot on from us to get a result in these games and you have to hope you catch them on a bad day.

Out of the 14 Moyes has lost with us there, the shite have had plenty of bad days

Since the change of injury time rules a few years back - that's the first match out of 410 that has had 3 minutes or less injury time.

Can bet your arse the ref wouldn't have blown when he did if we equalised on 90 though.

It annoying all the inconvenience we have to put up with in the name of stopping that kind of thing - only for it to be having zero effect.

But what if I contest that their own bad use of substitutions that season caused them to drop 8 points? What if some of the refereeing decisions cost them another 4? Or us another 6? What I am saying is - sporting advantage yes or no does not matter because it is not the only contributing factor. Y...

Of course it did but we received a sporting punishment for that offence. Did that professional foul cause teams to lose a game? I don't understand how burnley have a claim. We did something against the rules and received a punishment If we have to pay burnley because that punishment didn't come qui...

They can’t

I mean, obviously they and their lawyers think they can.

Both legit lines of thought Todd, Shogs - but not quite what is being asked in this case. Did the sporting advantage Everton gained by breaking the agreed upon rules have anything to do with us being 4 points ahead of them. So, did the money we spent over and above the rules "gain us" 4 po...

The problem with the above examples is that the mechanism by which we are being "sued" for this doesn't care for setting precedent. It has no real reason to consider how it disrupts/effects current rules - it only cares on the material result of the case in front of it. If we can be consid...

Rates for the very best in the land are approaching double that nowadays though.
Even juniors can hit £600 an hour in some firms.
