Hehehe Go Everton
Plenty of incentive for me to see Everton advance to the semis apart from your good self I have a cousin who is a serious Hammers fan though he's living in france at the moment.Also the Hammers are my Ex's team so another reason to hope for us to come out on top
My prediction Everton to win the game by 2 clear goals
Hard to believe that this is rthe only domestic top flight trophy that we havent won as a club.Think this year could change that .

Thats why Curbishley wants to buy him I take it??
I can see the headlines Ex Milwall player puts Hammers out
None of the fans want him! We all think he's overrated and certainly not worth the 12m being banded about!

Yeah, shame Bellamy is still out. Be interesting to see how Deano does tomorrow against Blackburn. We really need him back to goal scoring ways after his injury.

West Ham 1-2 Everton
By Phil McNulty
West Ham scorer Carlton Cole is congratulated by Dean Ashton
Yakubu's 88th-minute winner sank West Ham and sent Everton into the Carling Cup semi-final.
The Nigerian took advantage of an horrendous mix-up between West Ham keeper Robert Green and defender Danny Gabbidon to slide in a simple finish.
Carlton Cole gave West Ham an early lead when he raced on to Lucas Neill's long ball to beat Tim Howard and score.
But Leon Osman curled in an equaliser five minutes and Yakubu settled it to spark wild celebrations from Everton.
West Ham and Everton both selected strong sides, an indication that the stakes are now higher at the business end of the competition.
There was a scare when the floodlights went out briefly 15 minutes before kick-off, but once the action got under way Everton were quickly into their stride.
But West Ham turned the tables and went ahead after only 11 minutes when Neill's long pass caught out the Everton defence, allowing Cole to beat Everton keeper Tim Howard to the ball and slide in the finish.
Everton remained composed, and almost equalised when keeper Green was lucky to turn Pienaar's cross away from Tim Cahill.
But the pressure told and Everton were level five minutes before the interval when Pienaar played in Osman neatly, and he curled a deflected shot past Green for a deserved equaliser.
The second half began in ragged fashion, with Pienaar infuriating the Upton Park crowd with his theatrics, throwing himself to the ground unnecessarily on several occasions.
In a tense cup tie, both defences were strong and on top as it failed to match the quality of the opening 45 minutes.
Yakubu's control let him down as Everton created a chance with 15 minutes to go, then Freddie Ljungberg's hesitation cost West Ham an opening after Mikel Arteta's casual back-heel left his side open to a counter-attack.
It looked like only a mistake would divide the sides, and so it proved as Everton snatched the winner with just two minutes left.
Phil Jagielka's long ball looked harmless until keeper Green and Gabbidon got in a tangle and the ball rolled through for Yakubu to complete an easy finish.

I'll reserve judgement til after the league gamer at the weekend Peter
First semi-final in League Cup in 20 years,Stioll thats the competition thatstarted Everton's successes in the 80s.Maybe history will repeat itself and we'll have a chance of being England's No 1 team in a few years.

Well good luck to you in the cup! I really hope for a bit of revenge on Saturday though!
I guess in this case revenge would be dropping Green and his equally clumsy buddy
That suits me fine Peter.
Yakubu to give a repeat performance tomorrow and you cant complain too much we were the better team and controlled most of the game.
