Final game at Goodison - confirmed Sunday 18 May, 12PM

There will be salt water tears shed that day no matter what

I thought as much yesterday.
But if the worse happens, it'll be a damp squib.

After being there yesterday, I reckon we’ve made a big mistake here. Don’t wanna leave

I was also there yesterday. I love Goodison but I can't wait for us to move.
Once the Southampton game is done it's just another piece of our history that will never be forgotten, like Dixie Dean or the Mother Nobletts toffee shop.

Couldn't ask for a better opponent for the last game lads. We're horrendously bad.

Could probably stick 11 drunk teenagers from the stands on the pitch and still get a 1-0 win.

I'm 59,dodgy knee,two hernias,need a bit of experience in there?can still "pull the (ham)strings"

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

I actually hate this team. They've utterly ruined this last season at Goodison. Apart from Tarks against the RS there hasn't been a single boss moment. Wins against Crystal Palace, Wolves, Spurs and Leicester along with possibly one more against Southampton is absolutely disgraceful. That team playing for us is one of the biggest reasons we need to move, so we can be competitive and not have utter dog muck like this side representing us. There might be worse teams in the clubs history but there's never been a more unlikeable one. I'll never forgive that side for ruining this home campaign. I had such little expectations and even then they let us all down. I just hope they stumble over the line against Southampton, avoid embarrassment and then bugger off to let the fans have the moment. No walking around the pitch begging for grossly undeserved applause. Just go away.

I think it's just shown how poor it's been for a long time now. If we'd had a really good season I don't think people would want to leave

 

[efcfanwirral]

People talking about Southampton as if it's the last game of the season . Don't forget we have the small matter of going to Newcastle and probably getting battered . Our team switched off as soon as safety was assured.

Said this to my mate who's a Newcastle fan, we're the best opponent they could hope for in a must win last day fixture. A long history of getting destroyed away on the last day, and that's usually without the opponents having something to play for!

It had the opposite effect for me. I love Goodison. It's one of my favourite, happy places, but yesterday was a wake-up call. We've got to stop holding onto the past and embrace the future. In football in 2025, if you aren't going forward, you're going backwards, and unfortunately we simply can't go forward while at Goodison. We can't afford to be blindly sentimental anymore. We as fans deserve better. We deserve to see the club compete at the highest level and that will never happen without our new home. It might take a while, and some fans might never accept it, but the time is right for change.

We played an already relegated Southampton in the last Goodison game of the season in 1973-74.

We got beat 0-3…Everton that!

 

[MACCA75]

I think this will be a crazy 6-3 sort of game.

My sentimentality disappears every time I go into the Upper Gwladys toilets!

My first season with a season ticket,we beat Man U 1-0 in the midweek before this one which pretty much relegated them

I was half thinking that before I went v Ipswich.

Then I has a letterbox view from the Main Stand and I realised again how our Grand Old Lady needs to be gracefully retired.

 

[Black Panda]

I think this will be a crazy 6-3 sort of game.

You might get 6 but there's no chance of us getting 3. We've not managed 3 goals in a league game all season and have only scored 2 in four matches.

Think some people here are seriously underestimating how bad we are
