Unrenewed Swagger

28/09/2023

The scenes at full time were brilliant. Sheer delight for the travelling Toffees. We now finally have a home draw, and not a bad one at that too in the form of Burnley. Win that and we’re in the quarter-final. Wembley? Who knows?

Platform 13 from Euston; Last Train from Birmingham

28/09/2023

Aston Villa 1 – 2 Everton Maybe it’s a prophetic sign when I see Platform 13 announced on the departures notice board at Euston. As always, I travelled full of optimism. A quiet journey with not many football supporters onboard until the train got to Coventry when a few Villa fans joined. We can do […]

Everton vs Luton Town

Everton lay down a marker with tenacious cup win at Villa

27/09/2023

This smothering display set the benchmark for how the side should approach teams away from home and reinforced the notion the Blues should be nowhere near the bottom three come May. It also raises hopes that the Blues could go deep into a competition they have never won.

Mike Gaynes’s visit

25/09/2023

As I understand it, Mike Gaynes is coming over from America for a second visit, catching the Luton and Bournemouth games.  As I couldn’t make the get-together on his last visit, I would like to get to meet him this time.  Speaking to some of the guys at the Harlech before the Arsenal game, I […]

Loud and Proud — We Believe!

24/09/2023

Brentford 1 – 3 Everton Early start as always with the usual morning routine, but I could take my time as it is the shortest trip I will make to a Premier League stadium to watch Everton. As I’ve said elsewhere, I felt for those travelling from Merseyside and other parts of the country with […]

Onana Should Be Replaced by Garner

21/09/2023

There are many ways to look at the season so far. Yes we have been unlucky at times and yes ref/VAR decisions have gone against us yet again. There is no doubt in my mind that we deserved to beat Fulham and four points would look a damn site better than one. This time last […]

🎙ToffeeWeb Podcast: ‘This Spiral of Despair’

20/09/2023

Plenty of gallows humour following Everton's abject display against Arsenal as the crew ponder where it leaves the team ahead of three hugely important Premier League fixtures amid the potential takeover by 777 Partners.

How this horrible Everton chapter ends…

20/09/2023

I see administration now as a foregone conclusion. I therefore would like to see it happen while we are still a Premier League club. Even if we don’t go into administration, we’re likely facing relegation anyway.

I need a beer

19/09/2023

It’s been a stressful few years, and it’s only getting worse. So I’ve decided to cope by drinking. The only thing I ever drink is Guinness, and the only place I ever drink it is on Merseyside. So it’s past time.  My last one was in 2018, a lifetime and a pandemic ago, at the […]

I Would Walk 500 Miles: Outgunned But It’s Still Early Days

18/09/2023

Everton 0 – 1 Arsenal Okay, it was on a train and that was roughly my round trip and I like the song.   I appreciate the concern of many, but it’s way too early to panic and we’re far from done yet. I’m not done. There are still a lot of points to play […]

‘Playing for a 1-0 defeat’

17/09/2023

It was curious how much respect Everton paid Arsenal today and how meekly they seemed to accept their fate; as if defeat were obvious before a ball was kicked
