• I thought something like this would be coming. The faux Evertonians who bought the site and post utterly cretinous articles have shown their hand at last. A sad day for Blues. I have logged out and logged in again, just to check what I am seeing and it remains appalling. Michael Kenrick, I have admired your work since I first logged in 27 years ago. I wish you all the best and thank you for what used to be the best fan site in football. I am finished....

• Can't believe it's over. I first posted 20 years ago and got ripped to shreds but in true TW style there was care and compassion to meet the hardliners so I kept coming back. I've learned so much more than just Everton related stuff and it's been an education in itself and the names in type became real friends. Those of us that leave will find somewhere new to go and there is so much more that unites us than divides us as Evertonians. Btw, I have never written a post on a laptop and always on a mobile hence my awful spelling and punctuation, Michael. That's my excuse anyway. See you all on the other side. ...

• I worked part-time in the gambling industry for the best part of a decade, and a colleague ran a fairly basic tipster website which carried banners like the ones on this new ToffeeWeb site. It might not be the case now but (when his site was active) if a user of his website clicked through a banner ad and then set up a new account with that bookmaker then a) my colleague would get a fee from the bookmaker, and b) if that new account holder accrued big losses then my colleague would be due a % share of their overall losses (I think for the duration that the account was open - so potentially a lifetime).If that is the case here then the owners of ToffeeWeb are essentially putting out a tempting buffet of “new customer only” offers in the hope that you click through and open an account. And if you do then they'll get a fee. Fair enough I guess, as that money comes from the bookmaker like a finder's fee. But really the ToffeeWeb owners will also stand to benefit financially i...

• Hi Michael, I'm happy for my account to be deleted and understand I won't be able to post. Change is what it is. People will get to used to the site layout and ads. It's the change in purpose that finishes me off. I know you'll provide Everton content but I fear you'll be swimming against the tide. Personally I don't want to be used by a betting company....

• So we had a set-piece meltdown against Spurs that was going to lead to every other team exploiting our supposed weakness as Van de Ven had. Against Sunderland? Nope. Against Fulham? Nope. But no doubt this dire predictionn will come true eventually......
  Paul Richards in Everton “got it right” against Fulham, says James Tarkowski
• What ho! What an improvement. Such a splendid new departure. As for betting sites do let us remember chaps, that pennies don't come from heaven you know, they have to be earned here on earth. And I do love the turf, lots of yoicks and tally ho. And heads I win and tails below! Splendid, just splendid....
