Sorry for yet another togger post... but it has been a while since Everton contested the F.A. final...



I'm hoping we Evertonians will be celebrating this evening.



Ticket touts are doing a roaring trade, my boys could not get tickets but their friend managed to get one... £300.00 Makes me wonder whether they will ever clean up the game whereby those fans who turn up week after week in all weathers have earned the right to a ticket when their team reaches a final?

What do you think?



Myself... I doubt it... more chance of cleaning up MPs expenses... as ever... money rules

Disappointed ... but well done to Chelsea... even tho I don't think Drogba should have been on the pitch... but he was ... so again, well done.



Now... where is that Billionaire we need so we can compete on an even field

As an Evertonian I have to agree with Arthur... tv replay showed Malouda's shot crossed the line?



But as ever the question isn't one of technology and or it's use, it has always been one of power within the dusty corridors of the F.A.



Hi Lilli... hope I am turning you into an Everton fan... ciao...

As predicted - it should have been 3-1 to Chelsea! Ref and assistant(s) should have gone to Specsavers...

As a neutral watching the game ,I was beginning to think I was watching Chelsea TV. I have heard a lot of biased comentating in my fairly long life ,but todays commentry took the biscuit and I was also expecting the ref to change the colour of his gear to yellow even though he and the linesman missed the shot that crossed the line.

Money wins everytime because people like us pay through the nose to watch!



The Premier League is Murdoch's licence to print money - and as the rich clubs get greater power - so the system will be skewed to ensure success breads success!



Things are unlikely to change anytime soon as football is the new religion

Lilli - so, our assumptions were correct - you little dark horse, you!!!



I used to think Emlyn Hughes was wonderful (going back to the 60's here)



I am seriously impressed

Hi Lilli, you are definately a woman of mystery



Actually I'm not that down because I think it was always going to be tough for us ... just sad that after beating ManU, L'pool and Aston V we ran out of steam... but it's only a game, no more no less and there is always another year. Have to agree tho with Moover and No1Doyen in that all the big sports have long ago sold their souls for money ...and thats a shame:-(
