Everton should not have lost at home to Brighton

20/08/2024

I read some comments that pointed the finger at Moshiri.  The real deal is that Everton has limited funds because we are building a stadium.  It is one or the other.  Moshiri, for his past faults leading up to our current day PSR issues, has done brilliantly for us with the new stadium. But like […]

Begovic makes Goodison return

20/08/2024

Everton have brought former goalkeeper Asmir Begovic back to the Club, with the Bosnian singing a one-year deal.

From the Pitch to the Slots: Everton’s Sponsorship Deals and the Broader Trends in Football

19/08/2024

Everton Football Club has a storied history and a passionate fanbase. Their recent sponsorship deals reflect a broader trend in football. The club’s partnership with Stake.com, a leading casino and sports betting platform, and their club-record kit deal with Castore highlight the increasing influence of gambling and foreign money in the sport. These deals are […]

We come in peace — brilliant fans

19/08/2024

I’ve followed Brighton up and down the country for well over 30 years, including Hereford and Chesterfield as well as Man City and Wembley. I just wanted to say that, without doubt, Everton fans last weekend were the most friendly, generous, funny, helpful we’ve met. We stayed off County Road and headed to the Medlock […]

Is Sean Dyche Really the Problem at Everton?

19/08/2024

Sean Dyche has been far from perfect in his time as Everton manager, but he has also done what his predecessors couldn’t by restoring relative stability and unity from the team on the pitch. Replacing Dyche must happen at some point but we have to acknowledge that we simply aren't ready for that yet.

Just the Start — A Long Way to Go

18/08/2024

Disappointing result, but it’s one game with 37 more to go. Don’t write us off just yet. It’s a long season and there’s a long way to go.

It’s the hope that kills you

18/08/2024

Everton 0 – 3 Brighton At last – the new season after weeks of boring internationals and cricket. Up at 5:50 am and at the Taunton pick-up point for the stipulated 7:30 am. Just over 70 hopeful if not expectant West Country Blues piled onto a double-decker coach and we battled our way through heavy […]

The deal with the Dyche devil

18/08/2024

Mike Gaynes, who I generally agree with, absolved Sean Dyche of any responsibility for yesterday’s loss to Brighton. In fairness, our geriatric right-back and defensive midfielder could have been expected to do better. Then we had our wantaway striker doing an embarrassing dive that technically should have stood for a penalty due to VAR rules […]

Young suspension sparks crisis at right-back

17/08/2024

Everton will be without all three of their recognised right-backs when they travel to Tottenham next weekend after Ashley Young was sent off in today's miserable home defeat to Brighton.

Ticket News for Tranmere Rovers vs Everton U21s

Bright start descends into miserable farce

17/08/2024

Everton began their final season at Goodison Park with a lively start against Brighton & Hove Albion but an early goal disallowed was just the beginning of a ridiculous descent into laughable farce with everything going wrong that could.

More season tickets at the new Everton Stadium?

17/08/2024

There are approximately 30,000 fans on Everton’s season ticket waiting list. The crowd capacity in the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock will be 52,888. How much of this increased capacity will be used to reduce the waiting list? Any comments or information would be interesting!

Everton manager’s insular approach to pre-season must pay dividends

17/08/2024

Sean Dyche’s penchant for taking a pragmatic approach to management has left Everton’s sizeable overseas fanbase high and dry this summer. The Toffees started pre-season with a training camp and friendly match in the Republic of Ireland, before returning to England to continue their preparations. Defeats at Salford City and Coventry City left fans questioning […]

The opening match at Bramley-Moore Dock

16/08/2024

Less than a year before our opening match in the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, many are wondering who our opponents for the opening match – assuming it is a pre-season friendly – should be. A precedent was set in 2010 when the Club agreed to play our namesake from Chile after a decade […]

The 12th Man

15/08/2024

We have had lots of analysis of the quality of the squad, positions that need to be strengthened, new additions, possible line-ups, expectations for the season etc. However, one factor which I believe has more of a bearing on the team than fans give credit for is the atmosphere in the stadium (ie, the proverbial […]

May We Live in Less Interesting Times

15/08/2024

Stasis will remain the order of the day off the pitch but on it, Everton under Sean Dyche appear well-positioned to at least deliver the kind of mid-table mediocrity fans pined for a year ago following two gruelling battles against relegation
