Newcastle Utd 0 – 1 Everton A very early start, even by my standards. I had to wake a very unhappy dog, who didn’t like the 5 am schedule in comparison to her usual 6:30 am routine. I explained that I needed to get into Kings Cross early to beat the Mackems to a seat […]
Newcastle Utd 0 – 1 Everton Having had a few hours kip and let my boiling blood from last night drop a few degrees, I’ve come to realise why we’re all Blues and by far the greatest fans in the world. When we arrived back into Lime Street station last night, the place was full […]
Everton notched up a superb win at Champions League chasing Newcastle Utd, Charly Alcaraz scoring a brilliant headed goal
Everton 2 – 0 Southampton When the kick-off time for the last men’s game at Goodison Park was announced, I groaned out loud. A noon kick-off meant that the West Country Blues coach would leave at 5 am, meaning an alarm set for 3:15 am. Four different alarms were set in the Williams house to […]
A late unexpected message arrived, asking if I wanted a ticket. A huge thank you to the individua andl, one day, I hope to repay the favours several very kind and generous fellow Evertonians have done for me. I would do likewise for anyone and from next season I will be in a position to […]
Everton got off to a fantastic start in the final ever men's senior game at Goodison Park, with Ndiaye taking command and firing an unstoppable shot past Ramsdale to give them the lead after just 6 minutes.
An absolutely fantastic away day. And not just the result. I gave Man of the Match to Michael Keane but our supporters never cease to amaze me.
After a really poor first half where a strange Everton line-up had allowed Marco Silva's Fulham to take the lead, a much more competitive second half saw Everton take all the points at Craven Cottage in the glorious spring sunshine.
We sounded lively from the start but it quickly descended into a typical end-of-season encounter. The supporters became subdued and the players were going through the motions.
The penultimate game at Goodison Park should have been a celebratory bonanza with the 1878 Group pulling out all the stops to memorialise the Grand Old Lady … but The Tractor Boys had other ideas above their station.
Chelsea 1 – 0 Everton Given my passion for history and war films, I couldn’t resist including the film about Operation Market Garden in the title. There is logic in my own mind. I will start by re-quoting myself: an average game between two average teams. Chelsea didn’t impress and seemed nervous; Everton didn’t impress […]
Everton thought they'd done well by limiting Chelsea to just one goal in an awful first half where no glove was raised, but David Moyes finally put on the players needed to challenge — and they might have won late on but for two fine stops by Sanchez.
Everton’s resolute defence against the current Champions and financial pariars Manchester City was final broken after Moyes’s subs seemed to backfire.
Everton faced a difficult test on Saturday when they took on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground…
Arsenal had the better quality players and controlled much of the play, but rarely threatened. In the second half, we came out and gave it more of a go with the match becoming end-to-end.
After giving up a pretty soft goal in the first half, Everton were gifted an even softer penalty that Ndiaye converted just after the break to earn another point in Moyes's perennial battle to avoid relegation.
In summary, there wasn't much in this one, but a reminder that we need change in the playing staff. We'll get the points needed, but to move forward, a long summer of decisions is needed.
The title relates to the much-anticipated series about the Liverpool underworld that has just started on the BBC

Everton had sold out the away allocation weeks ago, but there is always a way and I joined as a Bees member to get a couple of home tickets
Beto's goalscoring prowess deserted him tonight and it came down to Jake O'Brien to rescue a point at Brentford with a very fine diving header.
The late reversal of an obvious penalty call by the referee for Everton will forever blight the memory of this game after a tremendous first half that saw Everton go into what should have been an unassailable 2-0 lead at half-time.
Everton are ninth in the Women’s Super League table with 13 points from 14 games.
Apologies for the dramatic headline. It doesn’t really reflect the events in South East London last night, but for those of us who enjoy a good classic war film, I couldn’t resist. No Clint Eastwood or Richard Burton in the starting lineup, but we did have Beto and Charly Alcaraz as the starring acts. […]
Crystal Palace 1 – 2 Everton After the intense last-minute drama of Wednesday night, David Moyes must reinvigorate his dwindling resources as the team head to South London and a televised early evening game at Selhurst Park. The impact from that midweek game which saw a vital point salvaged at the end includes medial ligament […]
1906, 1933, 1966, 1984, 1995… Read that last year closely. Next year will be 30 years since we last won a trophy. I don’t need to tell this audience or the most hardened Evertonian that. We are fast approaching 40 years since our last league title triumph. I shouldn’t mention Europe, but I just have. Our […]
Up at 5.45 for the drive up to Taunton to join West Country Blues full to capacity 73 seater coach. Packing my rucksack I realised I’d gone slightly overboard with the food supply- a family sized pork pie, four smoked salmon sandwiches, six beef salad sandwiches, three hot cross buns and a chunky kitkat looked […]
Everton take on fellow strugglers Leicester City at Goodison Park, with David Moyes forced to make changes to the side that started at Brighton due to injuries to two more first-choice players.
A random observation, like Liverpool, there are plenty of seagulls to greet you on arrival at Brighton, but they seem to be a different species and less aggressive.
Iliman Ndiaye scored a very fine penalty to give Everton 3 points that they defended brilliantly – reduced to 10 men for the last 17 minutes
I left Goodison with a bounce in my stride and a smile on my face. But not without a scare,
Everton came out of the traps and scored two excellent goals, to go in 3-0 at the break, but allowed Spurs to come close after Richarlison scored their second in added time.
I decided to head into Euston early, as I had the dog with me. I got there and, lo and behold, all trains going north of Milton Keynes were cancelled. There had been a fatality on the track. There wasn’t a lot I or anyone else could do, other than wait a few hours, so […]
David Moyes came up short in his first test as the new Everton manager as Aston Villa stole all the points from Goodison Park.
Sean Dyche is finally gone, and there's suddenly a fresh new feel about the Old Lady as it hosts its last FA Cup campaign, starting with this 3rd Round tie against The Posh
