2300: Crikey, is that the time? Super thanks for your company tonight. See you soon...
2257: More from magical Macca... "Everton take the local bragging rights and defender Phil Jagielka is your Merseyside man of the moment with a Player Rater score of 7.29 as things stand. But watch out for young Dan Gosling, who is galloping on the outside on 6.31 after his late winner. Feel free to nip over and pop in your numbers." Rate the players
2254: Dan Gosling's 118th minute goal earns Everton a home tie against Aston Villa in round five. The draw now looks like this:
Sheffield United v Hull Watford v Chelsea West Ham v Middlesbrough Blackburn v Coventry Derby v Manchester United Swansea v Fulham Everton v Aston Villa Cardiff/Arsenal v Burnley
2253: "It was a big occasion. I was a bit nervous but I had a good few early touches. The manager's not scared to put a young lad in." Everton goalscorer Dan Gosling
2248: Dan Gosling is holding onto the match ball for dear life as he is mobbed by his Everton team-mates. Not only did he score the winner, he was excellent in Everton's midfield after coming on in the second half.
2246: FULL-TIME Everton 1-0 Liverpool AET
2245: 30 seconds left.
2241: GOAL Everton 1-0 Liverpool Dan Gosling is Everton's hero, taking a couple of quick touches to make the space before beating Pepe Reina with a cool - albeit deflected - chip from Andy van der Meyde's cross. The celebrations kick off at Goodison Park.
2237: Corner for Liverpool... Xabi Alonso has to push a steward out of the way to make room to deliver - it's dangerous but Everton head it behind for another corner... Everton win a free-kick for pushing.
2232: Blackburn will host Coventry in the fifth round, after knocking Sunderland out of a cup competition for the second time this season.
2231: FULL-TIME Blackburn 2-1 Sunderland AET
2230: One minute remaining at Ewood Park...
2229: Phil Neville comes off for Everton and is replaced by the, ahem, mercurial Andy van der Meyde.
2227: GOAL Blackburn 2-1 Sunderland Benni McCarthy heads in for Blackburn from the excellent Carlos Villanueva's free-kick with about four minutes remaining.
2226: Mikel Arteta's low free-kick canons off the wall and goes only narrowly wide.
2223: A final substitution for Liverpool as Ryan Babel replaces a tired-looking Fernando Torres.
2222: "Re 2211: Beckham texted or was it via 606?" Mike via text on 81111 He called me personally. Again. I told him I was busy but he wouldn't listen.
2220: Blackburn keeper Paul Robinson is forced into a save from Sunderland winger Carlos Edwards.
2218: Leon Osman's shot takes a big deflection and looks like it's going wide - but Pepe Reina stretches to palm it away anyway and then reacts quickly to block Dan Gosling's follow-up. From the corner, Tim Cahill leaps high above the Liverpool defence and heads just wide.
2217: Second half of extra time under way at Blackburn. Still not a lot doing...
2213: Leighton Baines gallops down the left and squares for the onrushing Tim Cahill but the Everton striker is blocked by Jamie Carragher.
2212: They're under way in extra time at Goodison Park. Nothing to report from Ewood Park, where the game has petered out with both teams looking tired.
2211: "Nothing against the MLS, but I've enjoyed myself so much at Milan, I'd like to stay for a while." David Beckham
2209: "I'm sick of the sight of Everton! What a pain they've been the last two weeks." J, frustrated Liverpool fan, via text on 81111
2205: Extra time at Goodison Park.
2205: Reports suggest David Beckham has admitted he wants to leave LA Galaxy for AC Milan. Not that surprising no?
2203: Added time and Liverpool win two quickfire corners - but they can't profit.
2200: Xabi Alonso runs across Tony Hibbert as the Everton defender charges towards goal and picks up the seventh yellow of a niggly game.
2157: Boos and whistles at Goodison Park as Fernando Torres and Phil Neville collide in the centre circle, and the Liverpool striker stays down. The Reds fans want the ball out of play - and Mikel Arteta eventually and reluctantly does so. The Everton fans are none too happy as Torres gets to his feet...
2156: "Re 2119: I told my mates I would strip naked and run down my road if Commons scored the winner. It's going to be cold." Ollie in Somerset, via text on 81111
2155: "Well the bonus over Lucas being sent off is that Rafa can't pick him for a bit." srmich on 606 Join the debate on 606
2154: "Lucas is a liability. Does Harry want him at the Lane?" Paul, Liverpool fan in Holland, via text on 81111
2152: Extra time it is at Ewood Park.
2151: Rafa Benitez shores up the Lucas-less midfield with the introduction of Javier Mascherano for Albert Riera.
2150: "I'm heartbroken. I think I'm going to vomit." Chris in Cambridge, a Forest fan, via text on 81111
2149: Lucas is the 23rd player to be sent off in a Merseyside derby - but the first in an FA Cup tie. Meanwhile, they're into added time at Ewood Park.
2147: RED CARD Liverpool Lucas - who received a rather unlucky yellow card at the start of the half - gets a second booking for a cynical trip on Joleon Lescott in the centre circle.
2145: Andy Reid is unmarked at the back post but somehow fails to find the net for Sunderland. That one heading for extra time with about three minutes remaining.
2142: Leon Osman smashes a shot against the post for Everton after Tim Cahill's clever lay-off. Best chance of the game so far - although it's slim pickings to be fair. Derby will host Manchester United in the fifth round after coming from behind to beat fierce rivals Nottingham Forest.
2141: FULL-TIME Nottm Forest 2-3 Derby
2141: Zurab Khizanishvili heads over for Blackburn when he should have done so much better.
2140: Aston Villa earn a trip to Goodison Park or Anfield on 15 February.
2139: FULL-TIME Aston Villa 3-1 Doncaster
2139: "The only thing making the Liverpool game worth watching is how hilariously awful Dossena is!" Stu, a happy Villa fan, via text on 81111
2136: Goals galore up at Ibrox in the second half of Rangers' friendly with Milan, despite David Beckham being replaced at the interval. DaMarcus Beasley put Rangers ahead before Alexandre Pato equalised for Milan. A stonker from Kaka put the Italians 2-1 up only for Sasa Papac to level. It's 2-2.
2134: Forest midfielder Mark Byrne misses the target from six yards after being set up Wes Morgan. Only minutes remaining at the City Ground.
2131: Phil Jagielka loses the ball and Xabi Alonso releases Albert Riera with a stunning pass, but Tim Howard is out quickly to smother the shot. Goodison Park is littered with socks thrown by Liverpool fans. Apparently that's in reference to a derogatory term for people from Kirkby - the location for Everton's proposed new ground.
2129: Everton leave Fernando Torres unmarked at the far post but the striker runs out of play as he heads Xabi Alonso's free-kick back across goal. Blackburn replace Roque Santa Cruz after what my colleague describes as a Roque Horror Show - and Benni McCarthy comes on.
2126: Forest boss Billy Davies has asked big central defender Wes Morgan to play up front as his side look for an equaliser at the City Ground.
2124: Lovely birthday present for Dan Gosling. He turned 19 on Monday and he makes his fifth appearance for Everton, replacing Marouane Fellaini.
2121: Here's a poetic Macca... "Whether you're a lover or whether you're a hater, it's time for a bit of Player Rater. It seems there was very little love doing the rounds in the opening half of the Merseyside derby. Local lad Jamie Carragher is leading the way on 6.76, but Marouane Fellaini, Andrea Dossena, Steven Gerrard and Lucas are all struggling in the 4s." Rate the players
2119: GOAL Nottm Forest 2-3 Derby Remarkable turnaround. Kris Commons's chip takes a deflection and he does get his goal against his former club.
2118: Everton midfielder Tim Cahill has just been hit by a pair of socks. What the...? Meanwhile, Kris Commons hits the post for Derby against his former club.
2116: Nottingham Forest skipper James Perch, fresh from signing a new contract yesterday, is stretchered off. Mark Byrne - at 20, the oldest player on Forest's bench - comes on.
2115: "Re 2057: Alex at Willoughby is Peter Taylor's granddaughter. I'm her neighbour. Very nice lady. Come on Forest!" Tone, also Willoughby, via text on 81111
2112: Young Sunderland defender Michael Kay might consider himself a touch fortunate to escape a second yellow after a poor challenge on Keith Treacy.
2109: Yet more drama at the City Ground. Derby keeper Stephen Bywater makes a fabulous save from Garath McCleary before the Rams clear off the line from the resulting corner.
2108: GOAL Aston Villa 3-1 Doncaster Nathan Delfouneso puts daylight between Villa and Doncaster with a glancing header from Nicky Shorey's cross - the Fonz's third goal for the club.
2107: Roque Santa Cruz, unmarked from six yards, heads goalwards but Sunderland keeper Craig Gordon tips his effort over the bar.
2105: GOAL Nottm Forest 2-2 Derby Paul Green's header from Rob Hulse's cross puts Nigel Clough's side back on level terms. Cracking game at the City Ground.
2104: Doncaster's Brian Stock pull the trigger from 30 yards and Brad Guzan scrambles across to tip the ball round the post. A fingernail away from an equaliser. Meanwhile, they're back up and running at Ewood Park - where 10,000 fans are rattling around.
2102: "Typical Merseyside derby. To paraphrase Winston Churchill: "Blood, Toil, Tackles and Yellow Cards". Toffee In Exile on 606 Join the debate on 606
2100: HALF-TIME Everton 0-0 Liverpool
2059: Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar gets treatment for a hamstring injury and comes back on. He's still limping, but he should make it until half-time...
2058: Derby keeper Stephen Bywater pulls off an excellent save to deny Chris Cohen a second goal for Forest.
2057: "Hello I'm Peter Taylor's granddaughter (managed Forest with Clough and Derby on his own) this match is so tense for me. I'm supporting Derby though and I can't believe we are 2-1 down!" Alex, Willoughby, via text on 81111 No idea if this is genuine, but just on the off chance...
2052: Second half under way at the City Ground and Villa Park.
2052: Rangers are holding a star-studded AC Milan side to 0-0 at half-time in their friendly up in Glasgow. More than 40,000 have turned out to see the likes of Ronaldinho, Andriy Shevchenko, David Beckham and Kyle Lafferty. Becks' first few touches were greeted by a mixture of jeers and whistles.
2048: Niggly... Very niggly at Goodison Park and not a lot of free-flowing football to speak of. Steven Pienaar gets away with a nasty-looking late challenge on Lucas. Not even a yellow.
2047: HALF-TIME Blackburn 1-1 Sunderland
2046: Incidentally, bad, bad times in the cricket - unless you're a West Indies fan. England in all sorts of bother, and KP has just departed. Live text - West Indies v England
2044: "Nice to see the kids in Nottingham have something to do while the schools are closed... they're on Forest's bench!" Grant, Mansfield (stuck at work), via text on 81111
2043: "Liverpool v Everton will not end with 22 players on pitch at this rate. Getting a bit narky!" Chris, Durham, via text on 81111
2040: That's Aaron Mokoena second goal for Blackburn - both coming in the FA Cup. The first one came against Manchester City in March 2007 after which he was sent off. The news from Goodison Park is that Steven Gerrard felt a twinge in his hamstring, which suggests it might not be too serious.
2037: HALF-TIME Aston Villa 2-1 Doncaster
2037: GOAL Blackburn 1-1 Sunderland The ball comes to Aaron Mokoena who smashes it home from 25 yards - with the hint of a deflection off Anton Ferdinand. "One for the scrapbook," is Steven Reid's verdict.
2036: GOAL Aston Villa 2-1 Doncaster James Coppinger feeds Jason Price and his scuffed shot is enough to beat Villa keeper Brad Guzan. Hope for the Championship strugglers.
2035: HALF-TIME Nottm Forest 2-1 Derby
2034: Shocking miss. Carlos Villanueva crosses from the right but Robver striker Roque Santa Cruz heads wide from six yards with the goal at his mercy. "That's normally meat and drink for Roque," says Blackburn's Steven Reid on BBC Radio Lancashire.
2030: Flashpoint at Goodison Park as Tim Cahill catches Jamie Carragher with his arm as they go for a header. Alan Wiley gives Cahill a yellow.
2030: Forest fans are screaming for a penalty but Chris Foy books Lewis McGugan for diving instead.
2027: A huge roar from the Everton fans as Steven Gerrard hobbles off after 16 minutes to be replaced by Yossi Benayoun.
2026: Yossi Benayoun is preparing to come on... and it looks like Steven Gerrard has picked up a hamstring problem. Disaster for the Reds.
2024: Sunderland keeper Craig Gordon - back after two months out with an ankle injury - pulls off a good stop from Jason Roberts' shot across goal.
2021: For those of you wondering why Liverpool and Everton are wearing black armbands. It is in memory of Anfield pitchside announcer Phil Easton, who died suddenly on Monday.
2017: Joleon Lescott robs Fernando Torres on the right and leaves the striker limping - a sight that will cause panic in the Liverpool camp. Shortly after, Xabi Alonso swings his right foot at an effort from distance and sees it fizz past the post.
2016: My colleague tells me that Marouane Fellaini has pledged not to cut his hair until the end of the season. If that's the case, it will be bigger than him by May.
2014: GOAL Nottm Forest 2-1 Derby Rob Hulse directs a terrific header into the bottom left-hand corner from Gary Teale's cross to put Derby right back in it.
2012: And they're under way at Goodison Park, where they've got a lot to live up to on the goals front after that frantic start to the evening.
2008: GOAL Aston Villa 2-0 Doncaster Harsh on Doncaster keeper Neil Sullivan, who is completely helpless as John Carew's 20-yard effort takes a heavy deflection and loops into the net.
2007: GOAL Blackburn 0-1 Sunderland David Healy is adjudged onside as he races through before slotting past Blackburn keeper Paul Robinson.
2006: Blackburn's Zurab Khizanishvili heads against the post and Michael Kay manages to scramble the ball away with Jason Roberts lurking.
2004: GOAL Aston Villa 1-0 Doncaster Neil Sullivan saves Craig Gardner's shot but can only push the ball into the path of Steve Sidwell, who slots in his fourth goal for Villa.
2003: A quiet opening 13 minutes so far with the main bit of action involving former Wimbledon keeper Neil Sullivan watching Ashley Young's 30-yarder blaze over the bar - and probably the car park.
2001: GOAL Nottm Forest 2-0 Derby Derby keeper Stephen Bywater must consider himself a little bit lucky to stay on the pitch after bringing down Nathan Tyson, who has been terrorising the Derby defence. Tyson steps up to convert the spot-kick.
2000: PENALTY TO NOTTM FOREST
1958: Blimey, Liverpool fans really don't like Dossena or Lucas... They are the subject of most of the texts and 606 comments.
1953: "Nigel Clough stood impassively to the left of the dug-out when that goal went in," reports BBC 5 Live's Darren Fletcher. Derby boss Clough made more than 300 league appearances for Forest between 1984 and 1992, scoring just over 100 goals.
1952: And we are under way at Villa Park too.
1949: GOAL Nottm Forest 1-0 Derby I didn't even have a chance to tell you it had kicked off... Little more than a minute in and Chris Cohen's screamer takes a slight deflection and flies into the top corner to give the hosts the perfect start.
1944: TEAM NEWS Blackburn v Sunderland Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has made eight changes from the team that was held by Middlesbrough, with only Paul Robinson, Ryan Nelsen and Roque Santa Cruz retaining their places. Goalkeeper Craig Gordon returns for Sunderland after 10 weeks out as one of six changes from the team that drew with Newcastle on Sunday.
1943: TEAMS Everton v Liverpool Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Osman, Fellaini, Neville, Arteta, Pienaar, Cahill. Subs: Nash, Yobo, Van der Meyde, Castillo, Jacobsen, Rodwell, Gosling. Liverpool: Reina, Dossena, Carragher, Skrtel, Arbeloa, Kuyt, Alonso, Gerrard, Leiva Lucas, Riera, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Hyypia, Agger, Benayoun, Babel, Mascherano, El Zhar.
1940: Everton play Liverpool for the fourth time this season, Blackburn are up against Sunderland for the fifth time. Forest and Derby have already played each other twice. Only three of those nine games have produced a positive result. Anyone else sensing penalty drama? I don't believe we've had a shoot-out since the first round of FA Cup 2008/9 so surely we're due one? Or two.
1934: "Just been in Nottingham city centre and it's buzzing, come on Forest!" Anon via text on 81111
1932: "The two words I did not want to hear tonight: Dossena and Lucas! Only way they can make amends is Dossena crosses and Lucas scores." LFCfan128 on 606 Join the debate on 606
1930: Hey, Lee from Birmingham and several others, when have you ever known me to lie to you? Re 1915: this website had more than 4m unique users - not hits - unique users. The deadline day live text got more than 9m hits. But that's it now. No more self-indulgence.
1927: TEAMS Aston Villa v Doncaster Aston Villa: Guzan, Luke Young, Davies, Cuellar, Shorey, Gardner, Salifou, Sidwell, Ashley Young, Delfouneso, Carew. Subs: Friedel, Barry, Milner, Agbonlahor, Knight, Osbourne, Lowry. Doncaster: Sullivan, O'Connor, Mills, Hird, Chambers, Coppinger, Wellens, Woods, Stock, Spicer, Price. Subs: Roberts, Van Nieuwstadt, Guy, Byfield, Taylor, Lockwood, Heffernan.
1923: TEAM NEWS Aston Villa v Doncaster Seven changes for Aston Villa, with Ashley Young returning after a three-game ban and taking over as skipper in the absence of the rested Gareth Barry. John Carew starts for the first time in nearly three months. Doncaster midfielder Martin Woods plays after shaking off a virus.
1921: TEAM NEWS Nottm Forest v Derby County Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies names the same team that lost 2-0 at Cardiff on Saturday, with striker Rob Earnshaw failing to recover from a hamstring problem in time to face his old club. There are four teenagers on the Forest bench. Derby County manager Nigel Clough brings in Jay McEveley in place of Jordan Stewart and Lewin Nyatanga for the injured Miles Addison on his return to the City Ground.
1918: TEAM NEWS Everton v Liverpool Everton striker Victor Anichebe does not even make the bench, as David Moyes names an unchanged line-up. Liverpool make two changes: Andrea Dossena replaces Fabio Aurelio, Lucas is in for Javier Mascherano.
1915: According to Martin O'Neill, the January transfer window amounts to nothing more than a "waste of a month". (Warning: blatant self-congratulations coming up) Apparently the 4m people who visited the BBC Sport website on Monday would disagree with that. But with the window frozen shut, there is now nothing but actual, real-life football to entertain us, starting with a rather tasty looking evening of FA Cup fourth-round replay action.
