Ee- Aye-Addio, we're gonna to win the cup. A chant remembered from the 60s was embraced one way or another as we put the tie to bed within 7mins of the start.

Bore Draw at the DW

From my seat: Wigan (A)
Another Howard howler has us on the back foot but Big Vic rose to rescue a point when, after such gritty and determined displays against both Fulham and City were set aside, we played as though it was our right to win and the build up play was so slow it gave Wigan a lift.

Everton 2 - 1 Fulham — 'GoodFellas'
Everton booked their place in the 5th Round last night. The Toffees came from behind thanks to Denis Stracqualursi's first goal for the club and Marouane Fellaini's winner. Fulham's last win at Goodison Park came in 1975; a run that never looked like ending.

From My Seat: Fulham (Cup)
A win and in the next round of the cup. Not getting to carried away with it as cup ties are rarely any barometer of league form. It should serve to bolster confidence a little and perhaps bring a little more self belief back.

Much, Much More Like It
Everton 2-1 Fulham.It’s great to be in the hat before everyone else plays and we can now just relax, see who goes through and see who we draw in the next round.

Utterly Ridiculous
Match Report v Blackburn Rover (H)
: 22/01/2012
From my seat: Blackburn (H)
Blackburn, from the bottom three of the league, turn up with a handful of travelling fans and met a Blues side who seemed hell bent on taking their place in the bottom three, such was the apology for a game that I have witnessed at Goodison for some time.

Luck Isn't Enough For Sorry Everton
Everton welcomed a Bolton side boasting 19 defeats in their last 25 league games. Most had this as a home banker; somebody forgot to tell Owen Coyle's side.

Windblown Everton Spurn Howard Gift
Tim Howard's wind-assisted goal is wiped out by poor defending by the Blues and better football where it counted from Bolton

Just when things seem to be looking up
“Good day for the game today eh?” said my other half. I didn’t have a clue what she was on about until I looked outside. Heavy rain and high winds…oh Lord…this didn’t look as though it was going to be fun.

Everton Take Full Advantage of Depleted Bolton

Ugly Everton Do Just Enough
ny fans will blame the poor standard of football on the lack of investment but the players and the manager are both, still, capable of doing a lot better.

Liverpool Invasion
Whilst it’s difficult to criticize the team for their efforts, I think it’s fair to criticize Moyes for his tactical decisions in this one.

United Prove Too Strong for Battling Everton
Everton couldn't find a way through Manchester United and succumbed to their first defeat in this fixture in four seasons.
: 29/10/2011
From my seat: Man Utd (H)
Overall I found it a frustrating game as all through I thought Utd were there to be beat but we just did not seem to have the self-belief and afforded them too much respect.

Chelsea again in quick succession, this time in the Carling Cup. Just over 23.000 of us assembled and were treated to a very entertaining game of footy, just a pity we lost.<

In reality, Moyes made no real attempt to win the City game and with a strategy like that, you usually get what you deserve.
