Credit must go to the Manager who humbly has cajoled the players to produce what we all hope will be a face saving end to the season. He will know that there is an enormous amount of work to do, but the fans have shown that we weren't beaten and refused to lie down. The foundations are there and the future looks so much brighter.

But let us never forget it was the Fans who led the way and a wise Owner would ensure that they are given proper recognition and a voice in the future Management of Our Club.

Favourable results, Schalke promoted back to the Bundesliga at the first time of asking and their U17s won the German Youth Cup.

And of course, most importantly, a crucial victory for Everton. Onto Watford and Wednesday. We can be proud of the team and our magnificent supporters, but the job isn't done just yet. Let's carry this momentum forward.

Those scenes were special. We keep saying it, but imagine when we win something again. The football world will not know what's hit it.

When we get this season over the line, I'm feeling optimistic all over again.

This was definitely an I was there moment, the fans started during the warm up, then carried it on during the whole of the game, but something I haven't witnessed before is they kept on singing during the half time break. The scenes at the end of the game were unforgettable. I was on a corporate jolly so I was in the main stand surrounded by Leicester fans, who to a man said well done at the end of the game. One said that was the best goalkeeping display he had ever seen, and our host for the day said I have been doing this job for a long time and I can never remember an away support like that ever.

There were a handful of Blues in the main stand who all stayed for a further 15 minutes after the game ended, nobody wanted to go home, then to everyone's surprise Frank Lampard came back on the pitch and went right over to our supporters, whatever his ability as a manger you cant question he gets what this means to the fans and they know he will do everything to make sure we stay up.

Just worth mentioning that just before that Frank came back out the seats in the directors box were completely empty except for Kenwright and his wife. I am not defending him and he is as complicit as anyone as to why we are in this mess, but whatever we think of him we cant question him that he loves this club like we all do.

i don't believe we are safe but we are in a far better position than we were a couple of weeks back, and if its down to our supporters will and determination then we defnitely wont go down.

Evertonians are Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!

One more thing, Alex Iwobi. In terms of % improvement, surely no one has shown a more marked change. In my eyes he has gone from an over priced journeyman to a blue hero who emphasises everything about the spirit that will (hopefully) see us over the line this season. I’ve never been so glad to be so wrong!

I used to be there in the 50's through the late 80's before moving over to Australia and truly understand how we were then as fans. Onward and upward!!!

Rob, I wondered if I was imagining things when I felt the ground moving beneath me at Leicester yesterday, thought maybe I was just delirious with delight. It was real. And moving in more ways than one.

Thank goodness for Richarlison too, I don’t think anybody would prefer him to have to play with his back to goal but he’s the only one available and his work effort has been incredible.

Still very nervous times, one game at a time, let’s hope we can get the win at Watford.

Yesterday on Rawk, many of them were calling upon the Leicester Board to act immediately to sack Brendan Rodgers after the game. It's impressive the way they want a high standard of play not just for themselves, but for other clubs' fans.

Beautiful, Christine, I can relate to everything you wrote, except I've never stood on the terraces on my wedding day, that wants some beating, girl!

Kevin @14, I just think they want everyone to bow down to them, and their self proclaimed superiority sickens me!

It is when he is asked to turn or concentrate that he has issues although Mina and Coleman did a "Michael Keane" yesterday.

Like Christine Foster, I would regard Everton as a constant emotional force in my life since 1954. I blame Dave Hickson.

Like yourself, I too was born into an Everton family. Grandfather born 12 July 1875 and his five sons who provided me with an education of all things Everton and the 'Beautiful Game', something that I have passed on to my children and grandchildren. You are correct when you say that the first question asked when meeting someone new was, "Are you Red or Blue?"

My wedding in March 1963 took place at 11:30 am, to fit in with whatever fixture Everton had that day, fortunately it was an FA Cup game against West Ham United at Upton Park, thus preventing a mass exodus of groom and friends.

I'm not sure when the next ToffeeWeb get-together will be, but I can promise you that your Uncle Tommy will be in my thoughts when the toast to Absent Friends is raised.

Our fans have shown Sky, BT, BBC what's it like to be real fans, instead of listening to all the crap from the redshite pundits.

I saw Fowler on BT Friday saying we were going down, wasn't surprised to be honest they're on every TV network, so hard to listen to them, when you hear Stubbsy saying he turned off the sound during the derby, enough said.

See you tomorrow evening in Watford, Brenda.

Or is that just at weekends?

Jay. I agree. Michael Keane did play well after subbing for Mina!

I worry for the next 3 games for several reasons, first when Rondon comes on for Gray, either Richy or Delph have to come out of position to challenge the opposition leaving holes in the defence because Rondon literally walks around and quite honestly I do not think Rondon could run all the way round the outside of the pitch. We need someone fit and fast Dobbin fits the bill he cannot be worse than Rondon in that role.

Secondly Frank might be leaving the substitutions a little late most of the players are looking very tired especially Gordon and this will lead to pulled muscles.

I am still not sure of Lampard because he did not play Mykolenko or Patterson for a few games and then lost the option of playing Patterson because of injury. However he did drop both Iwobi and Holgate and both now realise they have to play for their places.

Also his 'acquired players' have shown themselves to be very poor.
Contrast that with Rafa's purchases, Mykolenko, Patterson, Gray, Townsend (he helped us beat Burnley), and he wanted to buy Diaz but we had no money (he went to the dark side and helped them in their CL quest. He also brought Gordon into the team. The only poor player was Rondon.
Maybe we should have asked Rafa to help us with our future purchases.

So for me I am still not sure of Frank as our long term manager 5 - 4 -1 is a very good defensive formation but Frank has not been using that before the last two games.
This season CL and relegation battles will be decided on the 22nd of May I think 43pts is the target this year

The really good news is that next season we could have a very good team and with a very good manager like Graham Potter we could at last qualify for the CL.

Pickford,
Patterson, Godfrey, Branthwaite, Mykolenko,
Iwobi, Doucoure, Gray, Gordon,
Dobbin, Richarlison
Subs. Broadhead, Davies, Keane,

If we sell Allan, Mina, Gomes, Kean and release Tosun, Sigurdsson, Alli, Ghazi and Gbamin we will have more than enough to offer Richalison and Nkietiah
200k per week to stay with us and join us respectively.

Great goal from Mykolenko and nice to be the ones scoring from a set-piece. Pickford of course stood out again too and pulled off some amazing saves.

Let's hope we can put in another tough, tenacious and battling performance against Watford - mixed with some skill & goals too. I am hopeful that we will be ok this season if we beat them!

The last time a team went down on 40 points was 20 years ago.
At no point in the last 67 weeks of football has a team been likely to even reach 40 points.
Currently - based on last year
Burnley - who are 4 points worse than last season at the moment took 1 point from their final 3 fixtures last year and you expect them to win all 3 OR
Leeds - who are 21 points worse than last season at the moment took 4 points from their final 3 fixtures last year and you expect them to win all 3

36 or 37 will be 18th.

Here’s hoping anyway. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

But nothing surprises me this season. Remember the world and his wife said what a stupid decision to sack Dyche and that is Burnley down and they took 10 from 12 until last weekend.
