Boys From the Blue Stuff

29/05/2024

Boys From The Black Stuff was the iconic TV series that captured the early ’80s in the city of Liverpool and is currently available on the BBC iPlayer.    But an equally iconic Everton banner is Boys from the Blue Stuff. That’s who we are.   Once again, Everton, you put us through it, and […]

Site problems thread

28/05/2024

Now that Dave Abrahams’ issues seem to have been resolved, I’m changing this to a general thread where people can throw in any problems they’re having on the site. I’m sure I’ll be aware of many of them (the text-size setting not sticking is one) but it’s always good to periodically open up a page […]

Alan Ball

This guy encapsulated us and the dickheads in so-called charge of us throughout my life. We now need to hear his voice like never before! 

Spanish court rules in favour of Super League creators

Richi’s return?

23/05/2024

Newspaper rumours have Spurs ready to get rid of Richarlison. Hampered by Kane and Son, and then a spate of injuries, Richi has not reached the heights nor the adulation of fans as he did in his Everton years. So I ask you these questions: Would you swap Calvert-Lewin in his last year without a […]

60 or 30 or something else?

23/05/2024

As it is the close season and football is at a standstill, I thought I would reflect on the noise that the Everton fans have generated at home matches in the past.  I have it on good authority that the loudest noise made by Evertonians was in 1928 when Dixie Dean scored his 60th goal […]

Summer tour

23/05/2024

There was a rumour the blues were going to the USA on the pre season tour. Does anybody have any further info?

Football Governance Bill set to stall

23/05/2024

I see the football governance bill has been ditched (at least for now) due to the General Election being called. In The Independent:  Work on the Football Governance Bill is expected to be halted until later in the summer, after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed a general election for 4 July, although there is hope from within […]

🎙ToffeeWeb Podcast: ‘The VAR Soapbox’

23/05/2024

Shouting into the void again over poor officiating following Michael Oliver's ego trip at the Emirates. And selecting our player, goal and performance of the 2023-24 season

Predicted Final Positions — Follow Up

21/05/2024

Some of you may remember me posting this back in August before the season started: Predicted Final Positions It was meant as a bit of fun and it seems I forgot to revisit the predicted positions after 19 games. As it happens, after 19 games, Everton had 26 points and were sitting in 10th position. […]

I got a little philosophical

20/05/2024

There I stood in a world class modern stadium watching a team be fiercely applauded by their proud supporters. Someday for us in Bramley-Moore Dock?

Another media horror show

20/05/2024

On Saturday, the Premier League released a brief clip of the “story of the season”, oddly omitting any positive Everton contribution to the season, and ignoring their heinous assault on us as a club via unprecedented points deductions for PSR. So far, so Premier League, right? It turns out, no. Yesterday we watched a 90-minute […]

Sell to buy

20/05/2024

Assuming that we need to sell some of our prized assets in order to bring in any new players and pay off debt, who do people think we should sacrifice?  The most obvious saleable candidates (to me anyway) are Pickford, Branthwaite, Onana and DCL. If we were in a better financial situation, I wouldn’t want […]

Everton robbed of laudable point at Arsenal

19/05/2024

In a season riven with controversy and scandalous treatment from the game’s authorities, it was perhaps fitting that Everton’s season should end with an outrageous decision from referee Michael Oliver that handed victory to title runners-up Arsenal.
