We were on 7. Have been in the family stand a couple of times and honestly didn’t realise it turned round the corner onto the north stand until yesterday! Enjoyed sitting there. Was great for the tifo. The stadium looks its biggest from the north stand, I think.

Absolutely loved the pre-kick-off stuff last night. Last evening game I was at was the West Ham one, with the cack choice of Fatboy Slim for the light show. Huge improvement last night. It felt like it really got the stadium going. Tifo terrific.

Sounds like he’s coming back to me.

Grab your boots, Joey lad.

They did? I didn't see him!

Maybe they do, on occasion? Season ticket holders there might be able to tell you more, but I’ve not seen any.

I've only been in the family stand, personally - will be my third time this Saturday. I've had a wander round the other concourses on the tour, though, and to be honest it doesn't feel much different. I wouldn't say much or anything about it is particularly setup for kids... It's just a...

It’s absolutely become a shortcut for people who don’t really understand the game to get some insight beyond the final score. Same as possession stats. It feels like every televised game for the last couple of decades I need to be visually shown that Everton haven’t had the ball as much as the...

Not really sure why people are surprised that Gana has come straight back in. It seems like a typically pragmatic choice from Moyes. Yes, he’s changing a winning team - but there’s certainly an argument to say that the circumstances warrant it. Forest at home and Chelsea away are two entirely...

I used it regularly for about 20 years before thinking "hang on, I might break this..." Lives in the display cabinet now, rotated towards the blue half!

My dad popping to Liverpool to see my grandma and bringing me this back. Followed by the disappointment of watching the match itself!

We're basically the Soviets storming the Reichstag. Except with a bluer flag.

I think (hope) Gana will be desperate to get out there and put in a good performance for us ahead of AFCON. He’s had plenty of time to dwell on what happened, and he won’t want his last contribution for a couple of months to be that slap.

Careful screedsplaining in here… A dark grey roof screed (they are a thing) has been long-promised on the brick sections of the stadium. Like @Drico I yearn for this.

Do you think maybe you’re something of a ridiculous figure of fun over all this, Jamie? No? I’m sure you’re right. All perfectly normal.
