I got a little philosophical
20/05/2024There 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?

The result didn’t really matter as long as we didn’t embarrass ourselves. We didn’t. We almost got something.
Everton end their 2023-24 Premier League season against Arsenal, who still have a chance to take the title off Manchester City if West Ham can get a result against them
Everton go into their last home match of a fraught and at times maddening 2023-24 season with Sheffield United the doomed side who are already relegated.
Everton pay a visit to the smallest ground in the Premier League as their roller-coaster campaign winds down after a fantastic week that ensured another season in the top flight
The win over Brentford that confirmed our safety and had us leaving Goodison Park with smiles and optimism, topping off a week which has been about as good as it gets
As nervous as this run-in has been, I always believed deep down we would do enough. And we have done
Everton ground out a third win in their third Premier League match of the week as they narrowly beat Brentford at Goodison Park to confirm their Premier League survival (* more points deductions notwithstanding).
The team were fantastic and worked themselves into the ground. They never gave in. Even at 2-0 and when they got the opportunity, they went for the third.
Tonight's hated local visitors to Goodison Park were sent packing after Calvert-Lewin followed up Branthwaite's scrambled opener with an absolute classic far-post header.
I’m enjoying watching McNeil in his more central roaming role. What a strike, to secure the points. It always looks better when it comes off the post! no
Fellow PSR felons Nottingham Forest are today's visitors in a massive game where both sides face the seemingly inescapable danger of being sucked down into the Bottom 3
Well, that is possibly the worst Everton match-going memory I can remember since the Ian Rush 5-0 derby.
Everton were expected to be tight and make it hard for a poor mid-table Chelsea side to score. But Cole Palmer had other ideas…
Up at the crack of sparrows and caught the coach in good time. A full double decker of 70 die- hards absolutely desperate for a win and the news that Gana was unavailable didn’t exactly ease my worries. I’m no big fan of his to be honest but with the way we have been playing […]
A poor game. But we won. And frankly at this stage, I don’t care how the points come, just so long as they come.
The match wasn’t a pretty watch, but the important thing was to get the points. We did. Right now, points matter
A critical game in the Premier League relegation battle sees Everton take on Burnley at Goodison Park this afternoon
Total respect for Pickford. He didn’t rise to the bait he received from the home supporters. As well as the 3 great saves, he deserves the accolade for Everton’s Man of the Match for the way in which he conducted himself and blanked out the constant tirade of abuse – as much as he did for the performance and saving us from defeat.
Everton are on the road again for a trip to the northeast that looks daunting in view of the Blues' worsening form and the Magpies' stirring comeback against West Ham on Saturday.
Once again, the midfield was largely bypassed by the Pickford punts. I don’t want to bash him as he has saved us many times, but yesterday he was at fault. He could probably have taken the cross for the first.
What an utterly dismal display from Everton, underlined by a ludicrous winning goal for the home side that Seamus Coleman chested bizarrely into his own net.
One of those days when it just wouldn’t go in. Their keeper took everything served to him and once again there must have been an electromagnetic field in front of the opposition goal. We created enough chances; we just didn’t finish.
I can't fault the players for effort. They are working hard and fighting for the cause, and we're certainly due a slice of luck. But we really need to improve in our attacking areas.
Everton are at Old Trafford today where they take on Manchester United, still looking to end what is now the Blues' longest run without a win in the Premier League for 30 years.
It was a decent match. End to end and we didn’t play too bad. In fact, ignoring the result and the nature of how it happened, it was a good performance in my opinion.
Everton 1 – 3 West Ham Utd Up at 5:50 am, put the dogs out to pump ship and gather breakfast, lunch and dinner together before leaving for Taunton. As usual, a magnificent turnout of 70 die-hards some who had already driven for getting on three hours to pick up the coach! Ten minutes in […]
Everton gave up the lead and then two shocking goals in added time to give West Ham United a thoroughly undeserved massive win at Goodison Park.
1-0 up but, for some reason, we sat deep against 10 players, and you could sense the inevitable. We invited it. And it happened. It would have been difficult to surpass last season’s visit to the Amex.
Everton travel to the Amex Community Stadium to take on Brighton with the ever-present need to secure points away from the Goodison Park pressure cooker.
Everton 1 – 1 Crystal Palace An earlier than usual start for a night match as I’d arranged to visit my brother-in-law in hospital, so out of the door at 10 am for the journey up to the homeland. A strange encounter with a gentleman on the train who complained at me making a phone […]
Everton are back at Goodison Park under the lights for the televised Monday night game where they will take on new rivals in the bid to beat the drop in the form of Crystal Palace.
Everton have Amadou Onana back in the squad for this weekend’s trip to the Etihad Stadium to face reigning champions and treble winners, Manchester City.
Everton play what will be only their second home game in the Premier League of 2024 when Tottenham Hotspur come to Goodison Park for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off.
A resilient performance. The Blues never gave in on the pitch and in the stands.
Everton return to Premier League action on Tuesday evening as they travel to London to face a tricky assignment against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
In general, it was a tough watch and poor performance. Luton had energy and aggression that we struggled to cope with. We were tame and lacked composure or confidence. I left Goodison on Saturday gutted.
It’s all about being clinical with opportunities and, if you have a limited squad, it’s more difficult to have that because the quality isn’t always there.
A pretty dreadful FA Cup tie with few redeeming moments saw Everton beaten by Luton right at the end of 5 minutes of added time when the visitors bundled home a corner to avoid a replay no-one wanted.
