If I was to assume that Arsenal were going to beat Hull, there would have been plenty of positives about any of the teams we could have been drawn against. We knocked Arsenal out of the Cup with a 4-0 victory last season and I’d fancy us to beat them again. Whilst Chelsea are on the up, it would have been nice to have a go at proving our superiority over them once more. But Everton is a great draw for a number of reasons.
Firstly, on paper, they are the easiest team we could have been drawn (again assuming Arsenal beat Hull). Secondly, we get to play against former reds in Neville, Saha and Howard. Thirdly, the Rooney-Everton feud gets to be re-ignited. I love all the badge-kissing and winding up Rooney dishes out to that bitter lot, it’s pure entertainment.
The last time the team met in the Cup, Everton fans were lobbing coins and a mobile phone on the pitch at our players, whilst over 30 arrests were made, with five police officers being injured. It was Rooney’s first match at Goodison since he left them for us and they were not too happy about it. Close to five years later and the intense hatred seems to have grown. “Die, die, Rooney, Rooney die!” they sing, whilst Rooney effortlessly proves how much he still means to them, with them spitting blood every time he kisses our badge. Priceless.
Rooney has scored against them twice since then and as always, will be up for scoring against them again. There’s nothing like a bit of history to get people worked up for a football match.
So, bring them on!

Great Draw. Let the Londoners talk smack to one another and, hopefully, the Rent Boyz win so that we can get at them in the final. Of course, we still have some pay-back for TheArse, considering their slimey performance a few years ago but I want to get the chance to see our boys stuff Chel$ki – again.
A great draw regardless Scott.Think about it like this.If Hull stun Arsenal,then they face Chelsea.And since it’s a Cup Semi Final anything can happen.So if everything goes according to plan with Everton,then there is a small chance we might play Hull in the final.Don’t forget that Chelsea,Arsenal(and hopefully we) will have played Ch.League Second leg Quarter finals just 4 days ago.So they will be tired and they will exhaust one the other.That’s why i was happy we avoided Chelsea and Arsenal at the Semi.Of course,if we reach the Ch.League Final,then we will play Arsenal or Chelsea in the Cup Final 4 days later.It will be hell to get to heaven(the quadruple) but that’s how it was in 99.We were playing Arsenal and Juve within 3 days.
I agree with Costas – looks like we could have Hull in the final, once we beat the mancs.
Arrogance isnt the word for it.
I think playing Everton will be a tough game. They’ll have no pressure on the day and the three former Reds will no doubt want to play a blinder on the day.
Personally, I don’t mind everton.. I’ve got some good mates that are blues. The enemy of our enemy is our friend and all that..
Saying that, I hope we fuck them!
i hate nazis.
bring it on!
Woosies!!!
I say get the big games out the way….The ones here we will fill their end!!! ( how pitiful the Emirates!!! Chelsea End at cheapseats.ass “We’ll be a big club…..soon”: ))
i rather us meet everton at the finals. which is easier for us to win.
I wanted Chelski or Arsenal just because now ABU’s will bitch and moan about us getting the easier draw and all that. Hull are terrible at defending and Arse are improving every week with their players returning from injuries, so we should be looking at quality semi finals.
But enough of that for now, FUCK OFF INTER is all I have on my mind
wat bout meeting the Rent Boys in a shootout again in d final
I think you lot would of been better of drawing Arsenal. We are going to bury you in London.
Coyb!ftrs: bury us haha you stupid deluded twat. 3-0 united
Its gonna be a toughie. Not happy bout it bein at Wembley tho, that really shoud be reserved for the final!!
why wemberley? are they going to playa single leg? if it is two legs, where would they play the second leg?
