Here's To You, Dad...

Sandra Williams
Posted 18/05/2025

The day has arrived… the day we thought we'd never get to... The day to say a fond farewell to our 2nd home,  where we've sat for 50 years, through brilliant times, bad times, and traumatic times, in all weathers, to be where w...

Becky Tallentire
Posted 12/05/2025

Becky Tallentire, who has befriended the past stars for Everton FC and writen up their recollections in a trilolgy of excellent books, took time out with Tony Kay the other day to read the various comments to him by ToffeeWeb...

What Money Can't Buy

Andy Crooks
Posted 07/05/2025

There has been a bit of speculation on the site about what our transfer budget will be this summer and how limited it might be. I believe that, even if the amount is way above our expectations, progress up the table will be limited if it is based ...

The Leaving of Goodison

Paul Kossoff
Posted 02/05/2025

I've written new words to the old sea shanty The Leaving Of Liverpool. It was supposedly first heard around 1870. Feel free to add your ideas, and remember, it's the tune of The Leaving Of Liverpool – not ...

End-of-term review

Jay Harris
Posted 28/04/2025

As we get towards the end of the season, I thought it might be useful to debate and take some views of fellow Evertonians on where we are at and what we need to do for next season and the future. I know some articles during the season have...

The 1878 group have given The Old Lady a great send off

Brian Harrison
Posted 24/04/2025

I would like to say a massive thank you to the 1878 group who have been responsible for the flags on display at matches as well as other fan engagement activities. Their last display I hear is against Ipswich when they plan to have most pa...

Liverpool Senior Cup Final at Goodison

Jim Milner
Posted 07/04/2025

For many Evertonians, the time is either running out or has now passed when it comes to visiting Goodison Park. With that in mind, an opportunity has arisen with our Under-21s reaching the final of the Liverpool Senior Cup for Evertonians ...

An Alternative Reality

Robert Tressell
Posted 13/03/2025

I don’t know about you, but I was jealous of Aston Villa winning a tie 6-1 on aggregate against a decent Club Brugge side in the Last 16 of the Champions League. The soul-destroying thing is… that should have been us – a...

Sue Porter
Posted 24/02/2025

Two independent bookshops are bringing Duncan Ferguson to St George's Hall in Liverpool on 7 May 2025 at 7:30 pm. The event is being organised by  Linghams, based on the Wirral, and Books, based in Oswestry....

Doucouré can be a bit of a problem

Frank Thomas
Posted 23/02/2025

I like Doucouré but he gets too excited and loses focus, then misses sitters, and finally he then costs us goals. Let me give you some examples: He missed unopposed sitters from almost the penalty spot against Leicester, Crystal Pal...

Everyone's a critic?

Derek Thomas
Posted 16/02/2025

Anjishnu, Charles and Conor (apologies to any I've missed out) have all put their head upon the block of reporting / previewing and there been plenty of volunteers to take a swing with the axe. So how about 'You' having a go? ...

Size is everything?

Daniel Johnson
Posted 07/02/2025

Newcastle United have deemed St.James park current capacity of 52,305 to be too small to allow them to challenge for honours. To get around PSR and improve income they are planning to move to a 75,000 seater stadium on leazes park next to...

Broke-ing News?

End This Nonsense, Now!!!

Steve Hogan
Posted 05/01/2025

History tells us that the most bizarre comments are normally made towards the very end of a manager's tenure at football clubs. If that is the case, then "We've had so many draws, it's not a bad run if you add wins to it" is right up there with th...

Predictions 2025-26

Colin Glassar
Posted 31/12/2024

Hope everyone has a smashing New Year. Here are my predictions for the next 12 months: Dyche remains manager of Everton until the final day of the season  Everton are knocked out of the FA Cup by Peterborough ...

777 Partners, Kenwright and Dr Who: let’s talk

Kieran Kinsella
Posted 10/12/2024

I don’t profess to be a genius – though those who personally know me would obviously describe me as such. But back in the early ’90s The Telegraph and The Independent reported that Peter Johnson and Kenwright we...

Last ever Merseyside derby at the Grand Old Lady

Christine Foster
Posted 07/12/2024

There's a site called Billy's Liverpool to commemorate all the past sights and sounds of Liverpool. Today, a poster I think called John Peat, posted this, written before the match postponement, it deserves a view even though he is from the oth...

There was great excitement in our house in the week before the 112th Merseyside derby, 6 December 1969. Two tickets for the Gwladys Street stand rested on the sideboard. Everton hadn’t dropped a po...
