We were poor but i suspect the amateur nature of our preperation contributed to the loss, particularly when it comes to penalties. There is a certain amount of luck involved, but steps can be taken to minimise that. Just look at the 'penalty strike rate' for the RS compared to ours. Dyche said...

According to the BBC (Garth Crooks, so it might well be hogwash), Mykolenko was the 39th (Ukrainian). I couldn't be bothered to try and think of them, but let's hope there's a 40th before the year is out.

Because I got bored reading all of the endless variations on who we are going to get rid of/sign. Three to get you going; (Andy) King Rocker - Generation X Knock on (George) Wood - Amie Stuart? (Sandy) Brown Girl in the Ring - Boney M

Which Everton players have been immortalised in song titles? To stop it getting too obscure, let's limit it to songs that were UK top 40 hits (for instance; 80's indie band The Wolfhounds have an album track called Handy (Tim) Howard, but whose gonna know that! Once again, as it's my 'quiz'...

I don't know if it's been done before but, inspired by the Eveton trading cards post, i started thinking about players who have played for Everton who shared a surname. As it's my 'quiz' i've decided that they have to have played since the 1969/70 season (roughly when i first started to take a...

He was his usual useless self today but then decided to ratch it up a notch or two. Lost a tackle that he was favorite for by going with the wrong foot (should've just slid in and took both ball and man, it wouldn't matter that he was out of the game for a few seconds whilst he got to his feet...

What is your favourite Everton team player by player. Based on a 4-4-2 formation (coz it's my question and I get to make the rules). Let's not just have a team full of trophy winners (coz that would be boring and we'd all just select the 85 title winning side) Mine, based on players I liked...

I watched highlights of this game on the Big Match revisited the other night. It started with a West Ham attack and attempt on goal. Then it cut to another West Ham attack and attempt on goal. After this it showed Everton in possession. We passed straight to one of their players and the move...

Whether we agree with Niasse's two game ban for simulation or not the least I would expect is some kind of consistency/intelligence from the 'expert pundits'. However, DM felt that the ban was appropriate as Niasse 'exaggerated the contact to earn a penalty'. However, on last night's MOTD he...

Inspired by the 'Everton managers seen live' thread I got to thinking about the greatest games for each Everton manager during my 'Everton supporting' lifetime. This includes only full time managers (no caretakers) and each manager (in other words Howard Kendall) only once. The games don't...

....would you want Leicester to beat us? The game is meaningless to us but a win for them would go a long way to stop one of the media darlings/rich clubs (yes I consider Tottenham to be one of them) winning the Prem again. Wanting us to lose does kinda stick in the throat though. I just...

I thought it might be worth remembering some of Roberto's reasons for our poor form this season. Perhaps as a from of catharsis or maybe just for the 'laugh'. Here's a few that I can remember. See if you can guess which matches they refer to. PS I've put a few in that I may have made up (but...

Does anyone know what it is? I have a feeling that it's pretty abysmal (whereas the RS have an irritatingly good one) but this may be me looking at it from (whatever the opposite is of) rose tinted glasses. PS what is the opposite of rose tinted glasses?

at Wigan he played pretty football with no cutting edge/end product. After a good first season (first season syndrome?) we are failing to beat fodder (home to Hull who must have been one of the worst form teams in the Premiership. The draw to Hull was met with 'the first half performance...

I've been a fan since the early 70's. After Saturday's game it dawned on me that i probably won't live to see us beat Liverpool in a 'big' game (cup semi or final - current score 6-0 to them). In order to prevent the generations that followed me and those still to come from a similar lifetime...
