The Athletic writers choosing their best moments of the season. Nice one Timbo

Tim Spiers: Football stadiums don’t really shake anymore, but then Goodison Park isn’t a stadium, it’s a ground. Since the turn of the century, Everton had beaten Liverpool on just five occasions (to their rivals’ 28 wins) and not at all at home in the previous 14 years. There was also Everton needing to preserve their Premier League status, wanting to end Liverpool’s title bid, their fierce, deep-seated local rivalry, Jurgen Klopp’s final visit to Goodison, anger, fury and injustice from two points deductions… all of that coursed into a sound so extraordinarily intense and impassioned that it caused the rustic old ground to shake.
At its best, Goodison generates a different kind of noise to your average Premier League arena. It is 38,000 people screaming into an empty tin can. Two-nil to Everton. “You lost the league at Goodison Park,” they sang over and over again as they danced and hugged and jumped around the tightly packed streets outside. A throwback, feral night in April.

Arteta saying he's an Everton fan and thanking Dyche for keeping us up in his pre-match interview caught me by surprise

No emotional goodbye for Danjuma then.

You forget he is still here at times, another terrible loan to rank alongside the Vinagres, Kings, and El Ghazis of this world.

Yeah, but at least we get to give him back.

Kinda get the feeling Danjuma will never settle at any club and make a name.

Arsenal fans wearing half arsenal half West ham shirts. Proper embarrassing small time behaviour.

Masters at the Emirates. Probably come to apologise to Everton

I’m sure he’ll head over to clap the Everton fans.

I'll accept an Everton loss so long as it's paired with a West Ham win.

 

[LEONARD]

That's one threadbare subs bench.

Or personally give us a twenty-point deduction to relegate us.
