United are unbeaten in their last eight competitive matches against the Toffees.
Everton’s last trip to Wembley in the FA Cup came in May 1995 – when they defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the FA Cup final thanks to a Paul Rideout goal.
Since this match however, Everton have only managed one win in 29 meetings with the Red Devils.
United won their last FA Cup meeting 2-0 at Goodison Park in a February 2005 fifth round tie – with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in this match.
Ronaldo has managed to score three goals in his last three matches against Everton and four in his last six against the Toffees.
On the last occasion that Everton reached the FA Cup semi-final, they managed to win the trophy.

Tim Howard has a horrible record with penalties but he stepped up today.

[E. Grant & Co]

[BAGGIO 15]

no treble for McDonalds, now Arsenal to deny them the double

[TOPGUNJIMMYAUFC]

we let slip once again farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr kennnnnnnnnnnnnnn


omg fergi!

[Le King]

surprised with the team we put out, but the youngsters did great
created a few chances as too did everton
overall it coulda gone either way, im not too fussed we r out of the comp as i rate moyes as a manager, n will b good 2 c timmy cahill on the big stage
we have bigger trophies to win this season
rio n vidic were fkn great 2nite, im confident about the rest of the season with these 2 bak there

mention about the referee, riley was shocking with 2 major decisions, clearly shoulda been a penalty for united in the 2nd half as welbeck was bought down in the box from behind. if its not a penalty then book him for divin(since he obv thought he dived), and that fieleni shoulda seen red for his elbow on rio. berba n rio crap penalties, woulda had tevez take the 1st 1 since cahil missed, but hey we won a champions league on penaltys so no complaints

but best of luck 2 the everton in the final, they have a gd team and a great manager

[TOPGUNJIMMYAUFC]

the only teams im worried about when we play is

EVERTON an VILLA..


CHELSEA, ARSSHLOES AN LIVERSPOOL ARE EASY TO PLAY WITH!

never any other.....

[SPURS18]

sucked in Berba too casual got what it deserved, lol at Cahills

[Judge Judy]

hahahahahaha <------ funniest video

i thought it was a penalty in normal speed, but on replay, riley got it right, jagielka didn't touch him

[EDISON CAVANI]

what was macheda like anyone?

[Judge Judy]

what was macheda like anyone?

was okay, didn't really do much apart from a shot in the first few minutes. no one in the game really did anything except the defenders, was a shit game

[Missing Post Count]

no treble for McDonalds, now Arsenal to deny them the double

And Liverpool to deny them the league.

[bradley]

Macheda did nothing, totally destroyed by Lescott and Jagielka.

That Wellbeck guy is terrible, dont tell me you guys have him as a future star as well?

[Judge Judy]

That Wellbeck guy is terrible, dont tell me you guys have him as a future star as well?

yeah he was fvcking minging. but everyone was apart from the defenders, really poor game.

[chelsea91]

Well done Everton, I would much rather play Everton then Man Utd but it will still be a tough final

[pino]

Must say that the Man City v West Brom game was a hell of a lot better than that shite put forward by Man U and Everton last night.

The thing that gets me is that Fergie has a go at Rafa for being arrogant about what he did at Blackburn and calling Everton a small club. Then he goes out and plays his reserves team...who quite frankly looked like reserves players. I do recall a saying that has something to do with a pot and a kettle Fergie.

hahahahahaha <------ funniest video

That video is quality. Gets a bit too repetitive after a while though

[getborn]

bravo everton.

Obviously fergie didn't really care about the FA Cup, and I think this is because of Liverpool putting pressure on us in the league, thats why he rested most of our first team players. But.. a very very young Man Utd side, going all the way to extra time against a full strenth Everton. If Everton play like that in the final, a full strength Chelsea will twat them 3-0.

no treble for McDonalds, now Arsenal to deny them the double

What do you mean? We have already won two trophies this season and if we win EPL and UCL they will make it a quadruple! I'll just be happy with EPL though.

yeh it dun take much 2 keep a scouse amused

n btw pino, fergie stated the reason why he played his youngesters, we have a massive game on weds nite v pompey n sum players needed a weeks rest from comin bak from porto
the youngsters did great, held a pretty much full strength everton team(bar arteta) to 0-0

final should b gd, a real underdog game now

[bradley]

And all of our strikers were either injured, sick or ineligable.

Yakubu - Out till next season
Saha - Played with a virus
Jo - Cup tied
Vaughan - Just back from long term injury, hasnt played in ages

We havent been close to full strength for a few months now, yet we are still a chance for 5th. Gotta love the current team and Moyes...what a tremendous manager.

Apparently Andy Johnson and David Nugent were at the game in Everton colours.

Boutses.

Man United have won the league, therefor they can get a double and maybe a treble.

It wont be arsenal that denys United Champions league, if anyone it will be Barca that does that.
