No, I can see it now.  A big win for Bobby in front of his new boss.  He'll be rewarded with a 5 year extension to his contract.

We're doomed.

I don't think so Hairy ,why? Read on.

Only the other day I read that Evertons new owner Farhad Moshiri along with his co partner Alisher Usmanov who between them held 30% of shares at Arsenal through white & red holdings ,both had a vision on how they wanted to help run Arsenal, Unfortunately the major shareholder at Arsenal American Stanley Broenke wouldn't allow them to attend board meetings or get involved with running the Club, yet, they owned one in three seats at the Emirates,It was said that both Moshiri & Usmanov were getting fed up Hence the reason Farhad has sold his stake and chosen to buy into Everton,Moshiri will want to make a big statement and show Arsenal he means business and will use Everton for the vision he had in mind with Arsenal.

I expect Management change in the Summer although defeat to Chelsea could otherwise force Moshiri's hand and Martinez will be gone by Lunch-time Monday.

Moshiri will eventually take full control of Everton I have no doubt about that, Rumours circulating that Alisher Usmonov could be involved some where down the line as both Moshiri and Usmonov have many business adventures together, Both sold off their shares in facebook  which is allegedly made them even more money running into billions.
both have many shares in Russia mines.

Moshiri is a very clever businessman who won't allow Kenwright to dictate.

Just wait and see.

Not having that.

Everton v Chelsea (FA Cup quarter-final, 17:30 GMT)

Everton will be licking their lips after seeing Chelsea pick up a few injuries against Paris St-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night - Diego Costa and Eden Hazard may not make this tie.

There is actually a little bit of pressure on Toffees boss Roberto Martinez because quite a few fans have been moaning about the way his side lost at home to West Ham last weekend after leading 2-0.

So this is a big game for Everton, who have already reached the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup this season.

Their league form has been better away from Goodison Park but I still think they are capable of winning this tie, especially if Costa is not available, because he makes a massive difference to Chelsea's attack.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1
