Match Thread Everton 2-0 Brighton. Sun Aug 24th. 2pm

[MrGrumpy]

Let’s see how bad the bbc coverage is

 

[Bryan+]

The abuse he gets from outside of the club is laughable.

His "cheat sheet" on his bottle showed Welbeck puts them 50% either side. Yet they still banged on about him having a "advantage", using the bottle.

We love him, he loves us. That's all that matters.

Not to demean his save but my adopted dog could have saved that penalty

Some people on here can't enjoy anything, Everton weren't infallible but looked like a formidable team especially in comparison to what we witnessed against Leeds. Thought we were exceptional against a solid Brighton team

first match won in August since Benitez was manager

18th September 2025 - With the first Merseyside Derby of the season just two days away, the Premier League has found Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford guilty of cheating. Pending an appeal from the club, he will be banned for 12 matches, starting with Everton's trip to Anfield, for which Mark Travers will now deputise in goal. Elsewhere, Florian Wirtz has escaped punishment for breaking Kyle Walker's leg during Liverpool's 5-0 win over Burnley last weekend. He'll start for the Reds on Saturday lunchtime.

Deduction aside, nothing would shock me after what happened to Niasse in November 2017.

do you EVER type anything that doesn’t involve liverpool?

you are so so so so so obsessed it’s really odd

I wouldnt condone a player getting sent off for arguing with a ref about a bad decision but one day someone is going to lose their rag and say something to a ref about these ridiculous handball pen decisions. It’s just not football. A stance has been to be made to show them what a farce it is.

We were flying back from our holiday and missed the game. As the wheels of the plane had just landed, my lad had already logged on and turned round to tell me Toffees had won. It looks as though we we still have more to give but thank you Everton for making our holiday end up on a high (especially after watching the Leeds game).

 

[Rita_Poon]

Would welcome a corporate hospitality/private box review from someone if they're prepared to offer it?

Stuck to his guns from the leeds radio comms, dug Beto out again there whilst praising Barry.

Love this from extract from Moyes on the BBC....

...Moyes was delighted, telling BBC Sport: "That's what we have been hoping for and waiting for. We want to add that extra quality and that's what we are trying to do. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack both played exceptionally well. We are thrilled we are adding a bit more quality and we need to score some more goals, which we got.

"We played more like Everton after the game at Leeds United. We had to do the Everton things."

The sun shone as Everton fans gathered around the stadium after this landmark win, the ideal start and just the tonic after a desperate performance in defeat at Elland Road.

Moyes felt it was maybe "written in the stars" that he would return for a second spell at Everton to lead them into their new home.

He said: "Someone will be standing here interviewing a manager here in 100 years' time. We'll be well gone, but we started it off today and I hope that the history of the future will be talked about a lot."

This was only a start, only one victory - but it was exactly what Everton and Jack Grealish wanted....


Moyes doesn't just get us - he is us.

love his interview
he wants the legacy and immortality u get with achieving things for everton
