    Match Thread Arsenal vs. Everton - Sunday 19th May - Preview, Discussion, Match Report & MOTM poll

    Away at Arsenal last game of the season... The writings been on the wall for this one since we kicked off against Fulham in August. Thank the Lord there is absolutely nothing riding on it.

    The Great Everton Fire Sale

    I don’t expect any significant ins - loans probably. Onana will go and early and won’t be replaced as long as we re-sign Idrissa. DCL and Pickford will stay, but I suspect wouldn’t be replaced by a new perm if they left either… Branthwaite I just hope we can hold on to for 1 or 2 more seasons...

    2023/24 Idrissa Gueye

    Utterly vital to us next season and still looks like he has at least 2 years in him. Has to be the first contract to sort out.

    Season tickets 24/25 prices

    After a long time abroad I became an official member this year and I'm in 15001-18000 on the waitlist. I would expect somewhere within there is the total number of official memberships we sell. I am a patient man. Luckily.

    777 Partners - Revised Poll Added 07/05/2024

    Airline going bust, Standard Liege transfer bans and debt problems, London basketball club missed payments... I know its scary to think about the perilous state of the clubs finances and future but this lot taking over fills me with existential dread.

    There has to be reasons for the obsession. I'd be more inclined to listen to him if he was at least transparent about what they are.

    The Four Months Though Lads - Worse than Mike Walker

    Oh man we were bad at the end of this period. We were still dire against a 10 man Burnley despite the win. Massive credit to Dyche and the lads for getting out of that hole but let's not rewrite history. The improvement has come just as much from individuals taking accountability over their...

    Attacking Replacements

    If we are going to build on a top half defensive record we need pace. Just imagine how good we would be with Eze and Olise for example. Pace on the wing for me.

    Match Thread Everton 1-0 Brentford - Pre-match chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

    Yep - 3 seasons now this has been true. This season has been utterly brilliant and still might get the Golden Glove if he can catch up with Raya on clean sheets (14 v 12).

    Dyche; A Great Achievement?

    Yes, in the circumstances a great achievement, but has come largely from extraordinary short bursts of form within long periods that even Tarks described as a dark place. Obviously huge external factors are at play but just when it looked like there was no chance he could drag us away from that...

    Match Thread Everton 2-0 Liverpool - Chat, Match Report and MotM Poll

    Wow. The players showed so much quality and composure that has been so lacking this season. Have to kick on from that - that intensity and quality every game. So hard to pick a MOTM but Dom was incredible so he gets my vote.

    Match Thread Everton v Nottingham Forest - Pre-Match Chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

    All their latest statement does is say the same thing in a nicer way. There almost certainly is unconscious bias in refs decision making, but I would bet Luton Town fandom had much less of an influence on the officials than the fact Forest have hired Mark Clattenburg of all people to give them...

    2023/24 Amadou Onana

    Lacks discipline and concentration, these things don't get found out in stats when he is regularly not where he needs to be. I think he might turn into a great player in 2 or 3 years time if he can fix this but has to be top of the list to sell.

    Match Thread Everton v Nottingham Forest - Pre-Match Chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

    The Luton fan stuff doesn’t make any sense in the context of the game. If I was a Luton fan I’d prefer a draw. As much as I sympathise with the fact that none of them where given, posting that is beyond stupid for multiple reasons. Anyway. Gave MOM to Beto because I thought his movement and...
