    Are you a still a football fan or solely an Evertonian these days?

    Everton. I follow a handful of other clubs in leagues around the world, but it's not the same. The closest would be FC St. Pauli, who were actually my first club and led me indirectly to Everton. They're a lot more fun to follow at the moment as they're dominating the 2. Bundesliga and seem...

    Points Deduction, Appeal & 2nd PSR Charge

    Haven’t checked, but I’m guessing that’s a joke based on the club’s original response to the deduction.

    Points Deduction, Appeal & 2nd PSR Charge

    At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see the points returned and any impending charges and ongoing investigations across the league to be at least suspended until a new system is agreed upon. Aren't new rules already planned? The initial decision was ludicrous in that the breach was...

    Dyche In Or Out

    What an absolutely stupid question. Constant struggle, no funds, FFP uncertainty with no end in sight, no squad depth, and anyone would entertain a change in manager, the nearest thing to stability we have?

    Points Deduction, Appeal & 2nd PSR Charge

    The club admitted a breach but disagreed about the calculation as well as arguing for mitigating factors.

    Points Deduction, Appeal & 2nd PSR Charge

    Embargoes are typically used to ensure that the message is consistent and on brand or whatever. Organizations want to control the story and discourage anyone from grabbing the audience or printing early without the full story as they’ve framed it, and if they’re not honored, the party that leaks...

    Mystery Squad

    There are two players in the just released 2023-2024 team photo I couldn’t identify at first. Padding out the roster, I think at either end of the middle row we have Ryan Astley (viewer’s right) and possibly Mackenzie Hunt (on the left). Is that right? Does it matter?

    Summer transfer window 2023

    I’d sign Reggie Cannon and Tanguy Coulibaly as acceptable last options on the bench. I don’t expect to bring in starters and it’s better to sign players like them than to misplace academy players just to fill a seat.

    2023/24 Demarai Gray

    I’m not going to miss getting frustrated while Gray dribbles himself into awkward angles all day and ends up doing nothing with the ball. He wasn’t suddenly going to learn how to play defense or make an effective pass.

    777 Partners - New Poll Added 18/10/23

    Standard Liege are winless in six and now protesting 777 partners: “125 years of love and loyalty; respect these traditions.” “777: no money; no ambition.” “777: timeshares or shared mediocrity?” “777: your galaxy mustn’t damage our future.” I reckon galaxie here is a metaphor for their...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    I'm not trying to fight with you, and I agree that he never uses subs and have been frustrated with him for a while about that, but it doesn't really follow to say, "we don't have any depth, but look at this list of subs who could start for us and what they were able to do for their clubs." Our...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    This seems more like an indictment of our squad depth than of Dyche’s unwillingness to use subs. We don’t have substitutes like anyone on this list.

    Summer transfer window 2023

    When a player is in his final year and won't sign a new deal after months of negotiations, you have to cut your losses and get what you can. He's going to walk away for nothing after another year of getting man of the match for being active with no end product. You're better off taking the 20m...

    Summer transfer window 2023

    Say what you will about Everton's transfer business, but at least their media reveals look professional. I swear every time I see an outgoing player at his new club, it looks like they used a 10 year old cell phone or forgot to clean the lens on the camera before they setting up the shoot in a...

    2023/24 Alex Iwobi

    Doucoure over Iwobi all day. Doucoure has 26 goals and 21 assists playing almost entirely in central or defensive midfield, and Iwobi has just 17 goals and 29 assists playing almost entirely in attacking roles. He's played more than 3/4 of his games as an attacking midfielder or a winger, and...

    2023/24 Alex Iwobi

    100%, and the look on his face when he was on the ground with that injury seemed to say, “I made a mistake. Why didn’t I sign that new deal?”

    Confirmed Signing Beto

    This has been stuck in my head so I had to see if anyone suggested it.

    Confirmed Signing Beto

    Can't wait to watch him run the ball right at the keeper and take a chance rather than stand around with his back to goal looking for no one to pass to.

    The Back Four

    Onana has been perry exciting in this young season. Creativity, progressive passing, good ball movement, great tackling. Get Gana out of his way and let him do some work.
