31/10/2024

31 October 1959 — the date of my first ever trip to Goodison Park. Growing up in Ellesmere Port in the 1950s, the name on every kid’s lips was Dave Hickson, who lived in the town. My dad said we’d go and see him play and arranged to go to the game against Leicester City. […]

Business as usual where Calvert-Lewin is concerned

30/10/2024

Our goalies

30/10/2024

It’s an admittedly well trodden path for many of us on TW but I’ve always been fascinated by the uniqueness of our goalies (and goalies in general) when it comes to scrutiny and accountability.  I’m therefore inviting any memories of our ‘keepers who delivered man-of-the-match performances regardless of their standing now being well less regarded […]

I hope Friedkin appoints Thomas Frank as our new manager

29/10/2024

Seeing as it looks like Man Utd are about to appoint the Sporting Lisbon manager, I hope Friedkin comes in soon and appoints Thomas Frank as our new manager.

Will Armando Broja be a better striker than Calvert-Lewin?

21/10/2024

I think most of us agree that Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a really good game against Ipswich if you forget about his failure to convert at least two one one-on-ones with Muric. If he had scored one, it would have given him an enormous confidence boost and Everton an even more comfortable win. This was not […]
