Everton to face Liverpool's conquerors
Ex-Blue Baxter helps KO his boyhood team
Former Everton midfielder Jose Baxter played a crucial role in his Oldham Athletic side beating Liverpool 3 - 2 in the fourth Round of the FA Cup this afternoon.And the draw for the 5th Round of the famous old competition, taking place just minutes after the end of that thrilling game, threw up an another fascinating tie, Everton now having to visit Boundary Park next month.
Baxter, described as a 15-year-old by former youth coach Ray Hall as better than Wayne Rooney at the same age, was released by the Blues last summer after failing to make the grade at Goodison and was without a club when Crystal Palace turned down the chance to turn a trial spell into a permanent move last August.
A Liverpool fan since he was a boy, 11 goals with Oldham has got Baxter's career back on track and, after helping knock Liverpool out he will get the chance to do the same to the club under which he grew up as a youth and trainee.
For Everton, the draw represents a fourth successive away tie in cup competition this season, coming on the back of a long sequence of home ties through last season.

I think it highlights a problem we have, our players are going out on loan enough in my eyes, if Vellios and Barkley were just never going to play this season they should be out there in the Championship or even League One getting proper game time in a competative environment, the reserves and U21s is just not enough to develop them beyond a certain stage.

Anyone care to tell me the point of this? Number comes out and one second later the club is named.
Don't forget so and so are number 16 in the draw... And?

Feel sorry for Luton. They beat Norwich and what do they get? A home game against no one's favourites, Millwall. Likewise MK Dons, who must have been hoping for something better than home to Barnsley.
87 Posted 27/01/2013 at 18:14:29
Can hardly wait for the Oldham game - - was there last time we played them - - what a ground.
Up The Blues.

Just perused the RAWK match thread and among the canabalism the Rafa lot and the Brenda boys are calling each other 'cunts' while one "supporter" from Italy has posted "who are Oldham?" and "can someone PM me to check my English".
My sides are aching.
103 Posted 27/01/2013 at 18:34:44
And has the manager ever won a trophy?
104 Posted 27/01/2013 at 18:33:20
105 Posted 27/01/2013 at 18:34:01
Huddersfield/Leicester will beat Wigan
Barnsley over MK Dons
Everton over Oldham
Luton over Millwall
Arsenal over Blackburn
Leeds over Man City (my one big upset)
Man Utd over Reading
and
Middlesborough will beat Brentford after Chelsea drop the replay.
106 Posted 27/01/2013 at 18:33:21
Please answer (1) seriously , and (2) comically.
Going for the second option, can I put forward Victor Anichilly? I think Seamus Coldman is probably a bit too obvious. Leighton Chillblaines?

Apparently, they call Rogers "Brenton" as he's like David Brent off the office.
My stomach's hurting with laughter after the "Rogers Out!" calls on Radio Merseyside.
RS losing is a bonus but don't forget the triple joy of 2 extra after-match phone-ins as well.
(Mind you, if I hear the words "Brendan Rogers" and "philosophy" in the same sentence again, I'll kick the radio.)

No, it'll never happen. Like Ossie (Ardiles, not Leon), my knees have gone all trembly on account of the fact that we are on our way to Wembley.
They'll never be able to replicate those weather conditions when they play us!

Love the Stevie G crap. Makes him sound like a Saturday morning kidsTV rap singer. Why not just call him Steven or Dick-Face or Wank Voice and then everyone would know where they stand. And for God's sake don't set me off on Louis Ratattoille. The bloke needs therapy and a course in real life ie trying to get by without cheating!!
Oldham – do me a favour. Round Six beckons. Manure at Goodison. FELLAINI!!! 1 - 0!!!
COYB

Why couldn't Kevin Ratcliffe give us a home draw,?
153 Posted 27/01/2013 at 19:54:57
Mike - I did suggest Leighton Chillblaines @ 291, where I started all this off - but Sleighton is an advance!
Phil Neville is proving very tricky indeed...

These FA Cup ties were made for players of yesteryear like Tim Cachill, Royston Drenched, and Marcus Beanie (Aussie term for a woollen hat).
182 Posted 27/01/2013 at 21:57:14
183 Posted 27/01/2013 at 22:00:13
I was at Boundary Park in 1990 when we threw away a 2-0 lead on their awful plastic pitch and then had Big Norm sent off for absolutely nothing in the replay and only just got a draw with a late Sheedy penalty in Extra Time before succumbing in the 2nd replay after again throwing away a lead and losing to THAT infamous mistake by Neil McDonald.
2008 was every bit as bad. Poor team selection. Abysmal performance were we created nothing and had the soon to depart McFadden playing like he couldn't have give a toss.
Time for a bit of revenge for these embarrassing defeats.
184 Posted 27/01/2013 at 22:47:55
185 Posted 27/01/2013 at 22:55:40
Everton: Wessels, Hibbert, Stubbs, Jagielka, Baines (Lescott 74), Pienaar, Gravesen (Anichebe 63), Carsley, McFadden, Johnson, Vaughan (Yakubu 64).
Subs Not Used: Ruddy, Anderson
Arteta (suspended)
Cahill (injured)
Yobo (injured)
Osman (injured)
Turner (injured)
So who did he leave out? that was so central to the team on that day. Also we had a Semi-final against Chelsea to play the following mid-week. Expectations have soared since those days haven't they?
186 Posted 27/01/2013 at 23:04:35
187 Posted 27/01/2013 at 23:31:20
188 Posted 27/01/2013 at 23:26:21
Shite got what they deserved playing essentially four forwards and leaving their captain on the bench meaning an unbalanced team that shipped three goals. If I read any more nonsense on here about Moyes being tactically inept when the so called tactical genius Rodgers is clearly even worse.....
189 Posted 27/01/2013 at 23:44:04
Moyes would later rue the decision to field a weakened team: “We found out against Oldham to our cost that you have to be at your full to win the game. We have to be totally focused on every game we are in, whether we are 2-0 up or 2-0 down.” — David Moyes, prior to the Uefa Cup 2nd leg at home to SK Brann.
Previous game at Boro:
Howard
Hibbert
Jagielka
Lescott
Valente
Carsley
Neville {c}
Pienaar (Anichebe 90')
McFadden (Baines 80')
Johnson
Yakubu (Vaughan 87')
Next game at Chelsea:
Howard
Hibbert
Yobo
Jagielka
Lescott
Neville
Carsley
McFadden
Cahill
Johnson
Yakubu (89' Anichebe)
So the answer is.... Phil Neville!!!!

I always think we should have done better that season than we finally did. 4th was a real possibility until April while we should have claimed a draw in that semi first leg against Chelsea and could then have played Spurs in the final, whilst the Europa adventure ended with the agony of Fiorentinas and penalties with bloody Glasgow Rangers getting to the final in Manchester!
For me the squad has improved much since then, a damning indictment of the Board, whilst Moyes has kicked on with even less money to spend than then.

Don't know Nicol, but thought he might've shown a little respect to Oldham.
196 Posted 28/01/2013 at 01:32:52
First it was John Ruddy, then Hope Akpan and now Baxter. It would cost us an arm and a leg to get the dude back
197 Posted 28/01/2013 at 02:22:05
Please tell me you're joking, please. We offered him a contract, he refused to sign it. He thought he would be picked up by Crystal Palace and only drop to the Championship, they decided not to offer him a contract. He was without a club living at hom until Stubbs recommended him to Dickov, which is why he's plying his trade in League One. We didn't let him go, he chose to leave thinking he would be picked up and almost had his career ended, Stubbs saving his career by getting him a job.

204 Posted 28/01/2013 at 12:52:45
He's ended up at a League One outfit which says it all.
This prick was slagging us off on Twitter when he left, thought he was better than he really is, was involved in one or two very dodgy incidents off the pitch which everyone knows and has given loads of interviews in the build up to the Oldham/Red Shite game banging on about his devotion to all things red.
Do we really need such a Knob at our club? No.
He wasn't even that good yesterday, and missed a sitter.

I don't think the Mirror would have been saying this if the other lot hadn't been knocked out of the FA Cup.

On that 2008 squad that played against Oldham, the other thing that people might forget is that Baines was third choice left back after Valente and Lescott. He took quite a few seasons to bed in and mature into the great player we now have.
