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 […]
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.
Everton returned to Villa Park but this time in the 3rd Round of the Carabao Cup where Sean Dyche named a pretty strong team that included Jack Harrison for his Everton debut and they stunned Villa with 2 vital goals.
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 […]
This often confounding Everton team is now up and running in terms of picking up their first victory of the season having finally found the cutting edge up front they've been missing
Everton outplayed Brentford this evening with Sean Dyche and his men securing their first win of the Premier League campaign.
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 […]
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
No complaints about the result. The lads put a good shift in but were beaten by a much, much better team. It’s about as simple as that really.
Everton are back at Goodison Park and in front of the Sky cameras for a huge match against Arsenal which they, as the expression goes, failed to turn up for.
Everton were in action at lunchtime today when they could only draw with newly promoted Sheffield United at Bramhall Lane after taking the lead but failing to build on it with yet more missed chances.
Everton went behind to Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup and needed strikes from two new signings to avoid a most embarrassing defeat.
Everton 0 – 1 Wolves Up at 5:30 with breakfast, lunch and dinner all prepared the night before. The dogs popped out for a quick one and I was on the road by 6:20. Such is our support we had a 77-seater double-decker coach from Devon with maybe half a dozen spare seats – not […]
The Blues were left to count the cost of missed chances as, just like the opening day, the visitors found the decisive goal to render the effort from Everton meaningless by the final whistle
Everton return to Goodison Park this weekend to face Wolves for their second home game of the season still searching for their first goal and points of 2023-24.
Round and round and round we go. A change in manager, a couple of new players. Hope followed by disappointment then humiliation and despair. This is the lot for Evertonians, it seems.
Everton travel to Villa Park for their first away game of the season with Sean Dyche deciding that Dominic Calvert-Lewin, having completed his planned rehabilitation, is all set for Premier League action
Everton 0 – 1 Fulham Despite the frustration of the result, in hindsight and after a much-needed night’s sleep, it wasn’t that bad. We created and had the chances but couldn’t convert. Defence will get you so far, but you are always testing the law of averages with those tactics. We did test that rule […]
A new season kicking off under a different manager than the one who began the last with hope rather than optimism this time that the club won’t be mired in a relegation dogfight come May… There has been change at Everton over the past 12 months and yet so much remains depressingly the same.
Everton start the new season at home to Fulham, with injuries eating into Sean Dyche's intent to start the campaign in the right way.
