    David Moyes

    Never go back. He's history as far as Everton are concerned and he should stay that way. Unless our fear of relegation is so strong that we'd rather not try a new manager (who could win us things but could equally take us down) and would rather stagnate for another 10 years playing pargmatic...

    Match Thread Everton v Nottingham Forest - Pre-Match Chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

    Two things from Forest's request for the audio and Webb's PR job; Firstly - Webb said that ref's set a high threshold for penalising contact 'all over the field really, but also in the penalty area.' This is plainly not true. How many times do defenders invite contact then fall over at the...

    Spending cap at last

    The clubs have agreed it in 'principle', which means that they haven't agreed it at all (and i don't think they ever will). Remember when the likes of Man U (successfully) whinged that they only kept 50% of their gate money when they should have it all. This will be the same.

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

    I watch Everton and, if we are doing well, i'll pay more attention to the general football news. But, as others have said, the ridiculous rules - falling over at the merest touch to win a foul, racing to stand in front of the ball to stop a quick free kick (when did that stop becoming a...

    He's done something that only Don Carlo had managed to do since Moyes was manager - ie; beat the RS. He gets a free pass from me!

    Match Thread Everton 2-0 Liverpool - Chat, Match Report and MotM Poll

    The season after Hutchinson's non-goal because Poll ended the gane early. Three minutes of injury time to be played. A foul was wrongly given after 3 minutes and 42 seconds and, of course, there was time for McAllister to take the free kick and score. Strange that, eh? Game ends early for...

    Match Thread Everton v Nottingham Forest - Pre-Match Chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

    We were lucky thar we had Anthony ('i'm going to try to make no decisions all game') Taylor reffing. Another ref could have given all three and it's hard to argue against the third. But (thankfully) Taylor is prpobably the weakest ref out of a very week/spineless bunch who's default position...

    Gueye plays and we keep a clean sheet. Coincidence?

    Needs to play Gueye. He has his limitations but he does what he does well - breaks up play, protects the defence and frees up the more 'skillful' players to go forward. I cba to look it up, but it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of our good results/performances have come when he has been...

    2023/24 Jordan Pickford

    The second goal was the killer. He saves the initial attempt but then pushes it back out into the center of the box/danger area. It's about time that this tendency was coached out of him.

    8 points (if we can get them) should be enough. That would leave Luton needing to get 9 (taking into account our superior goal difference). Essentially 3 wins or 2 wins and 3 draws for their last 5 games. As they've only won six games all season, that's a tall order. Wouldn't be comfortable...

    November 5th 1989

    The glory days were over as soon as we appointed Harvey to replace Kendal because 'that's what you do' (EG: it had worked once - Shankley to Paisley - but because that was then recent history our useless higher management automatically assumed that it was a recipe for success). Harvey was too...

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    The whole thing is wrong and shows how weak/corrupt the authorities are. There should be clearly defined sanctions for breaching FFP (and for misdemeanors on the pitch). They won't cover every eventuality (life's not like that) but people would know what the punishment was. Sometimes you'd be...

    Relegation 23/24 Thread

    One of the many worrying things is that we aren't even creating the half chances that we did at the start of our winless run, when we were arguably the better team (Spurs x 2, Fulham, Man U?). It seems to me that we play better when Gueye is there. He may not be a creative player, but he does...

    They have form for this. Remember when they let the RS into the CHampions League despite the fact that they hadn't qualified for it. All they had to do was wail and cry 'but we want to defend our trophy, it's not fair' and the footballing authorities changed the rules for them

    Yep, big club/small club. We may have a bigger fanbase (although i suspect that most 'new generation' football fans will gravitate towrds the successful club, and that means the RS for us). But neither us or Luton have won anything for 29 years. If being a big club means having won things...

    2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

    In the first half, when he turned and had that shot that was deflected over, there was a teammate to his right who had a free shot on goal....if he'd made the (2 yard) pass. It's these decision that we /he regularly messes up. In a game of fine margins half the battle is knowing what to do and...
