    Leeds GK

    Not seen this anywhere on here yet, but did anyone see the Leeds GK kick Doucoure during that first-half skirmish? As far as I’m aware it’s not been mentioned on social media. Thought he should have been at least booked if not sent off. But VAR didn’t merit it worthy of a yellow

    Is winning trophies or qualifying for the CL more important to you?

    Seen this discussed briefly in a number of other threads, but thought it was worth it's own dedicated one... Doesn't necessarily mean one thing's more right than the other. It's all about opinions. Discuss.

    Big Bob Latch

    Am going to an event in a few months time. For those who remember him, who would you liken Latchford to in this modern era? I cant really think of anyone these days that reminds me of him.

    Everton's British core

    Let me start by saying this isn't a wind up, it's just something I thought could be opened for discussion. A lot was made in the media last summer over how poor England's World Cup was, and how flooding the PL with foreigners is preventing English/British talent coming through. Everton have...

    Ex-Everton pundits

    There is now a small contingent of former Everton players with roles as presenters, pundits, co-commentators or experts on the likes of the BBC, ITV, Channel 5 and Sky. Before his fall from grace, Andy Gray was probably the most prominent or noteworthy while on Sky, although we also have Gary...

    If you could go back to change a result....

    All hypothetical, of course, but if you could go back in time and change the result of any 5 Everton games, what would they be? My list is endless, but I'd firstly go for the FA cup finals in 85 and 86. Would be good to have won the treble in 85, and to stop that lot doing the double in 86. In...

    Our last exciting signing

    Who, in your opinion, is our last exciting signing? The one that was a real statement of intent by the club that put a marker down? The one that made you really excited, and made you sit up and take note? The one that made you think we were heading in the right direction as a club? For me, it...

    If we finished 4th last season, would our performances this year have been any better?

    On another thread it's just said that Man U could finish 4th on 72 points. We finished on the same points last season but were still 7 points behind Arsenal. Looking at how dreadful our domestic season has been this year, would competing in the CL made our domestic season any different, or...

    Favourite last day matches

    What's been your best last match of the season so far, and why? For me, the relief of the 94 Wimbledon match can't be underestimated, cos at 2-0 down I really thought we were about to fall through the trap door. For similar reasons, the Coventry one in 98 was also notable (although both of...

    Player sales

    I'm hoping we can keep hold of our better players for next season, and shift some of the deadwood like Alcaraz and Kone (although I may retain Kone as a third choice striker). Think some of the other fringe players like Distin should be released too. As well as this, you've got squad members...

    Paying off club debt v investing in players

    I recently saw that Spurs and Swansea are the only two clubs in the Premier League that are debt free. If this is true, it's an incredible achievement by Spurs considering how much money they've spent on players recently, and haven't had the cash-cow of Champions League footy to help pay for...

    Famous/notable Everton fans

    Are there any celebrities out there that support us, apart from Sly Stallone, of course?

    Claiming the title

    For those of you who remember it, maybe you can help the ones who were too young to prepare for the day (hopefully) we'll win it again. What stories or memories have you got of us winning the league? Can you describe the atmospheres at Goodison or away games as we took part in title challenges...

    Lukaku's goals

    He's scored 35 goals in 78 goals for us now. 19 in a season isn't bad, although only 9 in 33 league games takes the gloss off it a bit. Would still be good to see him get 20+ goals this season, though If he stays next season, and stays relatively injury free, how many goals do you think is...

    Winning trophies

    I've never subscribed to football being more about the taking part than the winning. I don't want to take part just to make up the numbers, I want to be winning trophies. But there now seems to be an accepted norm these days that qualifying for the champions league is fantastic (which it...

    Our current players...

    Are any of them 'good enough' to regularly start in our better teams from other eras? Without letting this season's generally poor showing cloud my judgement too much, I'd say, at a push, maybe only McCarthy would have started regularly for any of our previous teams. However, based on them...

    Champions League qualification - what's the benefit??

    This may seem like a bizarre question, as obviously it will give us much more money than we probably achieved in the Europa League this season, along with more exposure in Europe, which in turn would lead to the ability to attract better quality players. However, the context of my question is...

    What is an acceptable 2015/16 season?

    After the major anti-climax this year, what exactly are we looking for, as a bare minimum, next season? Answers could include some of the following...Playing style? Lessons learned from this year? Summer transfer activity? Cup runs? League position?

    Possible transfers that fell through....

    Who's that one signing we missed out on that could have made a real difference to Everton during that particular era? Now I'm talkling about GENUINE links, none of these silly Riquelme rumours or ghost bids we made for Shearer (remember when we went through a period making these bids for people...

    Andy Gray - Everton legend?

    What are people's memories of him as an Everton player? He certainly was a vital piece in Howard Kendall's jigsaw, which enabled us to gain unparalleled success in the mid 80s. Is he viewed by people here as a club legend? Has your view of him changed since you left and went to work in the...
