    What type of home games do you prefer?

    Say for example you didn't have a season ticket and as you know all our home games sell out. You get offered the choice of two tickets, one for say Sheffield United and the other for Man City, which would you choose? Sheff Utd - huge favourites, probability of a few goals and not much surprise...

    Your 'As we stand' Starting XI thread

    Can't even include players we have 'all but signed', have to have been confirmed by the club. Pickford Coleman Keane Mina Digne GBamin Gomes Bernard Sigurdsson Richarlison Kean Wow, its looking strong already.

    The FA Cup

    After these 2 draws I feel any outside hopes of a top 5 push are now over, the gap is huge. Sixth is still achievable but we get the same reward as we would by winning the cup. I know which one I'd prefer. This club and especially our fan base needs that success more than anything. I'd rest...

    This week last year...

    Southampton away. 4-1. They hadn't scored for about three years before that game I think. Possibly the lowest I've felt as a blue (considering expenditure/expectations). I think remembering how we all felt that day makes you appreciate the job Brands and Silva have done. Huge turn around.

    Next 4 away games

    United Chelsea RS City If ever there was a barometer of whether our mindset has shifted then this is it. All grounds we have horrific recent records at mainly due to an appalling attitude and approach to the fixtures. I have a feeling things may be different under Silva. Hoping for better...

    The Challenge Now...

    As good as that defensive display was, it will be difficult to now transition to wanting to be on the front foot against a very poor Newcastle team on Wednesday. The team will have worked non stop all last week on that game plan, focusing on allowing possession until the last 3rd and not really...

    Remembering Paul McClean - Thank You Everton

    Morning blues. Just when I thought I couldn't love Everton any more than I do they have surpassed their own reputation this week. My little cousin Paul was tragically killed in Sri Lanka last Thursday in a crocodile attack, he was 24. You may have seen it on the front of the national papers...

    We are better than Liverpool?

    First off, I know they are not the barometer against which we should measure ourselves. However they are our neighbours and subconsciously we all look sideways to see where we are at compared to the not so lovable, badly behaved, flag waving red mutants. I think we are better than them. I'd...

    Koemans Biggest Challenge

    Aside from laying off the pasties a bit, what do you think Koeman's biggest challenge is this season? Many have stated that sorting the defence is the stand out one. For me, although this should be a priority, this doesn't necessarily mean it is the most difficult of his objectives. Reason...

    Team Photo that reminds you most of your childhood?

    I remember sat aged 8 drawing this photo at the kitchen table over and over again, not quite believing Peter Beardsley was on it! A couple of things stand out here - proper boss footballs in the Mitre Delta and all the players are wearing black football boots.

    Will our luck ever change?

    I'm crushed here. Once again we fall at the final hurdles when it really matters most, no fairy tale ending for us. And before you say it, yes I know there is an element of making your own luck and our first half showing was shocking. However, other teams have performed much worse in the past...

    Lighten the Mood - Your Plans for Next Saturday?

    I am as disillusioned and annoyed as anyone else but I can't be bothered moaning any more. Que será será and all that (see I put the accent on the 'a' there? Did Spanish in uni like) At least we can all look forward to a bit of a sesh next week hey? Interested to know what your plans are? I am...

    Blues, let's stick together

    After seeing the banners at the game today and seeing the mixed response on here, I want to plead with us all to maintain some perspective. Whether you want RM to stay or go, one thing that can't be disputed is that those that want a change have EVERY right to that view point. There is more...

    Winning the FA Cup

    What would it mean to you? I have to say that aside from the birth of my two daughters it would easily be the best day of my life. I am 32 and to go through my entire teenage years and 20's without experiencing that feeling as an Evertonian is hard to take. For me, all the dark days over the...

    Form on the up, Top 4 Wide Open, But.....

    .....the League Cup still simply MUST be our priority. Squeeky voice said it last night on MNF and he is right. We don't get many opportunities like the one we are faced with this year. City are the only team left in it who we would remotely fear and even they get destroyed by our average...

    Our Home Record

    I am really concerned that despite a hugely talented squad our home record of late is pathetically average. This season we have won 1 of 4 in the league and conceded 8 goals in the process. Last season we won 7 of 19 games at Goodison. What do you put this down to? For me it's a combination...

    Could this be 94/95 the sequel?

    Those old enough will remember how bad things were at the start of that season right up until the Duncan derby in November. Things were bad, REALLY bad, we had an awful side full then. It just took a spark in the form of Joe Royle and Duncan to lift the place, the fans most importantly. We...

    Most boring season you've seen?

    Wow that was boring. 19 home games and I can only name the Utd win as a game I may remember. Sick of seeing 1 upfront, negative substitutions (replacing attackers instead of midfielders/defenders). I can't remember us taking a game to an opposing side and seeing them camped in their half...
