Everton (H) FA Cup thread

[Shaggy]

A mate of mine recently got divorced, the kids share their parents 50/50, so it's a week at mom's and a week at dad's. He's living large at the moment, every other week he's a dad and the other week he's living like a young bachelor, best of both worlds

That is exactly my life, I love it

[dom9]

It is ridiculous though.

And I'm in complete agreement with her. There are games on every single other day / night of the week. Friday nights are football free and should absolutely remain so for a multitude of reasons.

The company I work for doesn't have a Christmas do but a year start event. That year start event is tonight and starts at 7.30 ffs!

I'll be watching this on my phone in a tuxedo with a free bar.

What could possibly go wrong?!

Wife asked me this morning if we'd be doing anything nice tonight.

"Well..." I said.

Her face dropped....

"There might be a football game on tonight".

Cue a crestfallen silence, followed by the major hump.

So I think I'll be missing this game too. If I ever meet the cretin who's idea it was to put football games on a Friday, I might well push him into a canal, or oncoming traffic, or out of a window. Whichever is closer.

In other news, I predict a replay.

should have been some serious groundwork done early in the week and the promise of a good Saturday.

If I'm honest, this was about the lowest priority of things to talk about this week anyway.

I thought it was no replays this year, 90mins, extra time & Pens?

Really?

I revise my prediction in that case to a defeat on penalties.

[S-RED]

Actually, i think it may be no replays from Quarters onwards??

Seriously?

That's another competition ****ed for the small clubs hopeful of a hard fought home draw in order to secure a bumper payday with an away day at a top team. No doubt it's to help with the world ****ing cup.

I'm a bit worn out with football at the minute, so am actually glad this is on a Friday night. Already out for lunch a few beers this afternoon, so watch the match tonight, then have a football free weekend.

[ric.williams]

what time does the bus arrive?

I’m off out to meet my old man for a few pints to watch the game.

If I ever meet the genius who decided to schedule FA cup games on Friday nights...

I’ll buy him a pint

for this year we've put a calendar up in the kitchen so that I can put all our fixtures on it so she knows in advance and there can be no excuses from either party for not knowing

We've been 'properly' living together for about 6 months now and I was soo used to the bachelor life and kinda just expected her to know when we play and i'll be going that it caused so many arguments

usually, Saturday morning - what we doing today? - well don't know about you luv but i'm getting the train to town at 11am to meet the lads for a brekkie and pint then going the game....

wasn't going down so well


as it stands tonight, I didn't sign up to cup games - I might have another corporate ticket, just waiting to hear - if not she is none the wiser....it's on the calendar so i'll be out!

reminds of our weekly five a side

When it gets called for off for some reason or other, my mate tells his wife he's off out to footy - gets dressed in his footy gear, I do the same, pick him and we go the pub

two of us sat there in footy shirts and socks/shorts in the middle of winter having a pint

Have to park round the back of the pub so no-one sees the car if they drive passed
