Very very hot day for the game but a great excuse to stop off at the Invisible Wind Factory for a light refreshment on the way. I have been out the Regent Road a few times to peep at the stadium but seeing it full of blue jerseys was simply fantastic. Everton have well and truly claimed the city centre now.It was a great day football wise. Gate 2 was working well and quickly, however when I went through its rhs I asked for the lift as id walked from Sandhills in the blistering heat wearing a long sleeved shirt, a jumper and a fleece like an idiot and I was out on my feet tbh..going back was no easier but a marvellous lad about 2 years younger than me who I was sat next to walked back ( at a slow pace) with me. It worked well for him also as the crowds at the station were humongous but one of the rail assistants pointed me towards further helpful hands who put me in a wheelchair, took me up to the platform in a lift and another lady put me on the train. I was astounded at the kindness shown which continued by other passengers. On the train was a mother and her daughter ( about 9) who hadn’t been the match but was a blue.. I gave her the commemorative flag we had all received. When I got back to the car I opened all the windows, adjusted the sun visor to keep the sun off me then slept for 45 minutes before attempting the two and a half hour drive back home. Myself and the sun nearly ruined a perfect day…..
Hope you remembered to charge your phone!Morning all, just about to be plunged back into the Dark Ages with a 9 o’clock power cut planned to upgrade the electricity Sub Station at the bottom of the road . Should survive ok for their planned 7 hours off![]()
I see that the BBC have said that they came to a mutual decision with Hozier not to stream his headlining set at Reading. You can imagine how the conversation went.The cover up of the Genocide in Palestine is sickening. That those who dare speak are labelled as Anti-Semites is enraging. There is no difference in shooting people queuing for food than leading them into a gas chamber.
The BBC are really overstepping the mark with their blatant censorship. History will not be kind to them.I see that the BBC have said that they came to a mutual decision with Hozier not to stream his headlining set at Reading. You can imagine how the conversation went.
BBC: You can either drop your planned speech in support of Palestine or we will not stream your set.
Hozier: Well don't stream my set then.
BBC: OK. We're in agreement then.![]()
I thought places were pushing it with Halloween stuff for sale but Christmas!! Unbelievable- same in Costco todayIgnore the quirky Everton message. Look at the bottom right of the sign instead. Christmas decorations in Malmaison in August

I thought so too, there were a lot of moans near us but I thought that we got it right. A low key low energy performance was just what was needed given the size of our squad and another game on Saturday. Great stat about Seamus having the most seasons as an outfield player- 17 I think they said and equalling Southall’s. Plus he had a great game which was lovely to see.Some very pleasing performances last night and of course safe passage to the next round. Things are on the up.
