Baphomet made the FA Cup thread in 13/14 and 14/15 when we won but Little Ozzy made it last season when we lost. My boy Baphomet just secured us another trophy.

Everton are a poor team. It really shows that outside the top 6 in the prem the teams are much the same level.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

Liverpool's season vanishing. Lost 2-1 to this Wolves side. 3 home losses in a row, out of every cup.
