As we approach a full house at the weekend, it’s clear the FA Cup holds a special place in the hearts and minds of Evertonians. The most famous competition in the world has also grabbed the attention of our youngest fans.

I’m delighted to report that, to date, 18,000 junior tickets have been sold across the Tamworth, Fulham and Blackpool ties....

Football’s fantastic isn’t it?!!

My last blog was just prior to the Fulham FA Cup game and there was a real sense of apprehension around the club. How quickly things can change. We’re now in the fifth round of the FA Cup (and looking forward to it!), have beaten the league leaders, brought in a five-and-a-half million pound new striker...

The month of January is a strange one at the best of times, but if you had said to me it would start with a Tim Howard goal and finish with a win over the league leaders and two new signings, I probably wouldn't have been alone in not believing you!

FA Cup Fever... Friday Night Football... Well, I must admit I’m still a big fan of the FA Cup (with Budweiser of course!) and I’m not averse to playing football on a Friday evening as opposed to a solemn Sunday afternoon!

I’m sure it won’t become a regular occurrence for us but I hope that this Friday yields a decent...

Evertonians are rightfully proud of their Club’s FA Cup history. The Blues have won English football’s most historic trophy on no less than five occasions, whilst they have finished as runners-up eight times. There is no doubting Everton’s pedigree in the competition.
