Evertonians take 'Spirit of the Blues' to the top of iTunes charts

Must be down to all the funny videos circulating.

Let's hope it gets to Number One.

It's all good fun and great to see so many Blues enjoying themselves for the right reasons.

Now that we've left Cyrus in the dust, time to roll out the Spanish and Portuguese editions to the South American market, sung by James and Allan of course. Shakira will never know what hit her.

Long may it continue we have been starved of success for far too long, hopefully this very catchy tune which we are all familiar with, will make a revival to match the football and the Trophy Cabinet too!

Another song I always associate with us is more generic by Thin Lizzy: "The Boys are Back in Town". I remember that being played on the coach several times when we ventured to Wembley (the old one) seemingly on a fairly regular basis in the '80s.

Long may it continue...

Imagine if we won a cup or (gulp) the league!!!

I’m sure Carlo is wise to stuff like this but there’s 3 huge games coming up! 3 more wins and we really can be taken seriously!

This phenomena and #1 chart success makes a mockery of such claims IMO. Blues are STARVING to have something to cheer about.

Since this season started and with every successive test passed in a variety of different playing styles and radically changed line ups in alternate games, plus the instant success of our four new recruits, I have felt how much better this could all be with fanatical Blues in attendance.

Yes, Goodison is a tough audience. But serve up the kind of football and performances, both individual and the team collective, as we have seen this season and they would be roaring their delight.

I genuinely fear the entire season may be played without attending supporters. That would be hugely disappointing, that the new players will not get to hear a rabid Goodison or our sell-out away support making themselves heard on enemy territory.

They would be amazed and lifted and more determined than ever to perform better and achieve more.

I repeat, a live match day audience cannot come soon enough for me, but I just cannot see that happening this side of Christmas, maybe not even before the season ends.

That would be to our detriment, not to our advantage.

I mentioned that there is an unusually large number of away wins this season - I haven't looked at the games played in lockdown during the summer but we have seen more than 50% away wins so far this season. Is that due to lack of crowds? Consequently, are we seeing a lack of home advantage or even the rise of home disadvantage? I don't think that is likely and it will even out as everyone gets used to the new systems of play. It is lovely to see certain arrogant teams getting a walloping at home though.

Goals and unpredictability are getting us through this difficult time, the big teams (with big squads) only usually start to really exert dominance over & after Xmas but until then long may we be up there.

It is indeed painful to watch us playing so well with no crowd - imagine the excitement of matchday right now if there were no COVID!

The knock-on effect of the late finish to the delayed previous season, together with some teams playing deep into August in various cup competitions and the much-shortened pre-season for all.

The natural chronology of a regular football season has been thrown totally out of sync. Most teams will be playing near enough two games every week in this compacted season, assuming that isn't further compounded by yet another lengthy suspension of games.

Throw into the mix the desire to stage the postponed Euros, Olympic Games and South American Copa America next summer and it compounds things even more.

The most successful teams, those who played deep into August, are disadvantaged in that they had no pre-season, have to catch up on lost fixtures and that fatigue may well catch up with them more than others. This will be further compounded going into next season as the best teams have the best international players who will be called upon to play in the aforementioned summer tournaments.

The Man City-Leicester game was possible evidence of the above.

Taken altogether, there is IMO a genuine opportunity for there to be a Leicester-like upset in the title race and competition for those much-desired top 4 places.

Why can't Everton be the maverick club to take advantage of all this turmoil?

There's now a campaign to get the top 3 in charts.

Just told my red son-in-law this is getting more coverage than their trophy wins and he visibly winced.

Were on the march with Carlo's army.

All the more so that it so winds up the red side.

Good vibes and good feelings and genuine hope.

The team is playing like it cares with pride and commitment and flair combined with grit.

Good days for a Evertonians.

I hope they don't get injured!

So happy I am a Blue, and although it may be temporary, I have never felt this good since the early eighties. Things under the tutelage of Carlo and Company are certainly showing dividends, long may it all continue!

No doubts, but I have said that so many times before, it does feel very different now!

My son actually plays all these Everton songs in the car plus he loves the Big Match theme tune from the 70’s, the new one they did for the 80’s plus Ski Sunday, BBC cricket theme tune and many more!!
