Afternoon Eds and Reds.

Seems very quiet on here considering we are playing in the FA Cup semi tomorrow.
Sun will be shining on Wembley. My earliest memory of Liverpool in the FA Cup was the 86 cup final. I remember it being a beautiful sunny day. Hopefully we can play as well tomorrow as we did that day in 86.

Going for a 3-2 win for the Reds. I think it will be a close game, both teams going for the win. Good luck to anyone going to the game tomorrow, and safe home.

You have a few years on me, but I remember a few late 80s early 90s FA Cup games so well. My fave being the Ipswich game at anfield. Went to extra time. I was so small that when we scored and the kop went mental, I was thrown all over :-)

I'm at the game tomorrow. Can't wait. I know it's just the semi, but days at Wembley are what we play for. Hope we turn up

Alright clarkey. Another great memory for me was the Liverpool v arsenal final. Watched it in a local pub, packed with both supporters but mainly reds. I had a friendly bet on with an arsenal fan. Needless to say he was devastated when Owen scored the winner. He even shed a tear! Priceless!
Anyway, enjoy the game tomorrow! YNWA

First cup game I went to at Anfield was against Swansea in 1964. It was a quarter final and we lost 2-1. We battered them, but their goalie Dwyer had the game of his life and saved everything we threw at him We even missed a penalty, it just wasn't our day. West Ham won the cup that year and if we had got to Wembley we would definitely have beaten them and won the double as we won the league that year

How's things Red 64. I have read your posts in the past and thought 64 was your birthday. Obviously not! Reeling in the years there Red! Nice to hear a memory from back in the day all the same. Another similar memory of mine is the 89 final. I was only 13 at the time and watched it my cousins house. We were all just shocked I think. Don't remember what we did after it finished, probably cried I suppose.

Anyone have any thoughts on the 87 final? My memory is of a game where the underdog won, and it was a brilliant game!
