    Fulham tickets

    Why is the Fulham game not included in the 'Match Events' list on the official website? Priority Members are eligible to buy tickets today from 10am but at the moment they are unable to queue.

    Champions League revamp

    What a disgrace. Certain clubs being given automatic entry to the CL every season, with more games to be played. The implications for the PL and Everton in particular are massively damaging. The PL itself will be downgraded with the permanent CL clubs playing weakened sides, even more of the...

    Wasted window

    The inactivity in the January window has cost us the best (only?) chance in years to qualify for the CL. Because lets face it this has got to be the weakest PL season for many a year. I can only presume that financial controls were responsible. If not then either the Club has been very...

    5 subs?

    I see there's a move afoot to reconsider the decision (made only a fortnight ago) to go back to having just 3 subs. No prizes for guessing which teams are leading the call. The original vote saw 13 for just the 3 subs and 7 for allowing 5. Any club outside the leading 4 or 5 would be voting...

    Starting the new season

    Playing out the last quarter of last season in empty stadiums was a farce. Now it looks like the new season is going to begin likewise. And with the government intent on avoiding repeating past mistakes I wouldn't like to bet on crowds being allowed back until next year. Certainly we can forget...

    It just goes up and up........

    First it was 300,000; by the end of the day it was 500,000; by the following morning that figure had risen to 1m; now it appears to be spoken about in terms of 'millions'. What am I? The answer? The number who turned out to see the RS bring home the European Cup last year. The first of these...

    Balls

    What are these bouncing balloons being used in the PL this season? Awful. Making games even faster and scrappier.

    Could anyone give me a dummies guide as to how you download a laptop photo onto GOT?

    The 'diving Panel' farce

    How completely predictable that Salah is not going to be referred to the Panel that's supposed to be assessing diving with a view to suspensions being handed out. I may be wrong but I think that still leaves Niasse as the only PL player to have been penalised. Run a clip of Niasse's 'offence'...

    Have we finally given up?

    Without casting judgement on whether it is for better or worse, have we finally lost the Everton Football Club of the last couple of decades? The one that tried to maintain the old footballing values whilst still persevering to compete with those capable of winning silverware merely by producing...

    VAR next season!

    It appears the PL has had a change of mind and VAR is to be used in PL games next season. Ridiculous decision.

    What if.....

    Pigs might fly I know, but what if, just what if, we beat both City and the RS, and did so with good performances - would there be a case for retaining Allardyce?

    gwladys st disabled area

    Looking at the Man Utd game this weekend I noticed that the disabled section behind one of the goals there was accommodating more supporters without any extension to the area itself. Comparing with the changes at GP this year, I think the 'ledge' constructed for wheelchaired supporters in front...

    Ground alterations

    At last GP is to undergo improvements for the disabled, albeit something forced upon the club by an agreement made last year involving all PL clubs. Obviously the alterations and expansion of the facilities will reduce ground capacity even further but I hope the changes are done properly and...

    Our short season

    Well, after all the management talk of the need to rotate the squad and to rest players we will now see the season end with us having played only 41 competitive matches in 10 months! Disgraceful performance wise and not too clever from a commercial perspective either. Must be our shortest...

    Car travel from Watford

    I need to be back in Liverpool by 9 after the game on Saturday or a divorce will be on the cards. If anyone is familiar with the area and the after match traffic, is it best to head west to the M40 or east to the M1, and if the latter do you avoid town centre snarl ups by parking up south of...

    Who said.........

    Just emptying out some personal possessions and came across an old newspaper containing the following quotation from an ex-Everton player in which he's talking about Evertonians: "They are a special kind of people. When you look from the outside, you think, 'all fans are the same'. But these...

    worst ever tackles

    Just looking at the infamous Harwood on Heath foul on another thread and then Reid's act of retribution got me thinking about the worst foul tackles I can remember seeing. Actually I wouldn't put Marwoods amongst them - though i would include Reids. I'd also include Ratcliffe on Lerby when he...

    The most deserving starting 11

    IF we get to the Final, and I know in football when the manager selects his side he can't base that on anything other than the need to win the game, but which starting 11 (or maybe just particular players) would you think would be the most deserving to have the honour of being selected for it...

    Sunday Supplement

    This morning on Sky's Sunday Supplement witnessed the most embarassing comment by a so-called football expert I've ever heard. It came from a journalist (Neil Custis I think) who said how we can expect the linesman to have got the offside call right when it was so close (what, 3 foot???) and...
