Baines: Looking for cup success

Baines: Looking for cup success

The Toffees overcame Blackpool 2-0 in a dominant display at Goodison Park to book their place in the last eight after notching up successive home wins over Tamworth and Fulham.

The victory over Ian Holloway's side last Saturday lined up a clash against Sunderland for a place in the semi-finals and Baines is confident about getting his hands on the cup.

"You've got to believe your name is on the trophy because you've got to this stage of the competition," the left-back told the Daily Post. "You've got to fancy your chances and we're looking forward to the next round.

"I think reaching the final in 2009 helps because with the top sides who regularly get to those latter stages of competitions or in the past maybe with Manchester United at the tail end of a title race, that experience sometimes is what gets them over the line.

"You've got to have experience in the dressing room to play in quarter-finals, semi-finals and hopefully finals."

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.

h how I wish RVP could enjoy a similar moment. Hats off to Drogba. One of the best strikers in the Premier League Era. All that diving, play acting is forgotten because he wore his heart on his sleeve and proved his worth.

oodbye old chum. For some reason i always had a soft spot for Manual. I think it was because he had the gumption to bleach his head blonde while being in his 30's. Gotta love somebody that ridiculous.
