• I personally don’t believe that Everton, have really been fighting relegation since the Bournemouth game, which was over thirty months ago and I honestly believe we have had a mid table team since then. The points deduction made Dyche’s, first full season a lot harder, and then it looked like his head had completely gone before Moyes, came in and got us to a similar position to where we would have finished the season before, if those points hadn’t been taken away from us? Mark wasn’t boasting, he just loves going to watch the blues, and it sounds like the new stadium, has simply given him a new lease of life, which is something I can vouch for myself, but Darren, is an old school Evertonian, and comes from the era when nil satis nisi optimum, actually meant something, and comes across to me, exactly like the type of Everton supporter, the late Sir John Moores, talked about in the history of Everton video, that was narrated by John Motson....

• Drilling down a bit more about these 24 points: In the sixties, home programmes kept a like-for-like account of points and home gate, decrease or progress, against the same opposition. The promoted teams were compared with the relegated teams of the previous season. By the same calculations, the Blues have these comparisons after 13 games: Pl. W D L F A GD PTS Season 2024-25 14 2 6 6 10 19 -9 12 Season 2025-26 14 6 3 5 15 17 +1 24 Represents an improvement of 75%. Just imagine if we had a goal-scoring goal scorer! ...
