FA Cup action tomorrow when we take on the Toffee Men at Goodison in the 4th round. Today (26th) is the 11th anniversary of our win at Norwich in the same round, let's hope for similar tomorrow. No Trivia this week except this shot of 'Ruth' Rendal celebrating his goal at Carrow Road, what a marvelous day that was!  |

He’s still playing - for Totton.
Be interesting to see the reception Barkley gets at Goodson tomorrow- think it will be a good one until he scores the winner 🤞
Enjoy the game everyone, maybe see you there if you’re going COYH!

Getting harder to come up with anything in the second half of the season and against another Premier League team. I'll go with someone I talked to regularly, who was a Luton Town player for many years and was a member, along with his wife Anne, of the Lansdowne and whose ashes are at the side of the Kenilworth end goal post, Main Stand side. Here is an action shot of him playing at Everton. Some on here will remember him well.  |

There was nothing wrong with them at all but a lot to be desired from their wearer. |

Enjoyed that, proper football like they play in the EFL. If we beat Everton one more time this season we can display them on the mantelpiece.
Undisputed man of the match for me was Mengi and mentions for Bell, Doughty, Burke, Townsend, Adebayo and Pelly are justified. And didn't young Johnson look assured with his late appearance.
Still on track to be the losing finalist at Wembley, but maybe Pep will have an off day.

I've not read all the 100 and odd pages on the Everton fans forum but here are a couple I've copied and pasted:
just seen the score and am not in the least surprised. Revenge is a dish best served cold and our great side of the 80s dumped Luton out of the FA Cup twice when Luton looked to have won both games. I recall their head-banded skipper (Foster?) saying Luton hated Everton for that. So it's taken39 years buit they exacted revenge today. In my heart of hearts I also know we are being relegated this season...and the team that will pip us at the post (and finish 17th ) will be Luton.
I think after 43 years that I've had my fill of Everton.
We've been beaten twice at home by Luton Town this season. Good luck to them. I suspect they'll do the treble by season's end. Following us now is about court cases, appeals, points deductions, and successive losses at home to Luton. They look more honest than us to me. I'm resigning myself to the inevitable. We're not good enough to help ourselves out of what looks, increasingly, like a campaign to relegate us.
and ho ho ho
Luton are so bad, proper league one level, and they have beaten us twice at home this season.
We really lack quality and calmness in the box.

Hell hath no fury like an Everton fan scorned twice in one season. So looking forward to their visit to KRoad but not sure they will be. Full credit to Rob as usual - despite their long service on the bench, the combination of an excellent Berry corner, a very alert (despite hand injury) Woodrow and some favourable ping-pongs ultimately did for Toffees. More evidence that everyone in our squad will both feature and contribute this season. And sometimes it’s ok if there’s a lot of extra time 😁
