I've just finished Big Dunc's book — it opened my eyes, definitely knew his stuff to be a manager.
Hope I'm not spoiling it, but he told them not to buy Tosun and Alli. Kenwright was an Unsworth fan, and it was Dunc who brough...

Well done to the Lionesses for their penalty shoot-out win over Spain!

On the passing on of season tickets…
Eugene Ruane
Posted 21/07/2025
As with so much 'information' that comes from Everton, it seems there's a policy of say nothing until the last minute. Possibly because that way, there's no real time to complain and/or change things… eg: "Well, it's too late now anywa...

The current starting XI
Jay Harris

I was sat watching PSG v Bayern Munich and marvelling at the standard of player and wishing we could entice players of that caliber to join us.
