Ironical that RMs persitance to keep selecting an out of form Tim cost him his job IMO , but yes he should get his send off tomorrow for his ten years service, and TBH Joel had his worse performance v Sunderland for a while other than we hardly had a defence as usual if Robles had played better then I feel Tim should have just come on for the last ten minutes!
Our new manager has to rebuild through out the new team with more than Tim leaving!
 
From @chicoazul's preview;

It will be Tim Howard’s last game in goal for Everton in a career that’s spent ten years. Whether you never liked him or not any player serving Everton that long and playing over 400 games deserves a decent see off, and particularly one who ardently tells all and sundry he’s a passionate Evertonian and will be that way until the day he dies.

As poor as he got, I agree with that there.

And I was there when he scored.
 

Howard statement :
GRATEFUL

I remember the promise that David Moyes made to me 10 years ago: "once you walk through those doors, you'll fall in love."

Today, I will walk through those doors one more time, and then I will depart.

I will depart with love in my heart for the greatest of football clubs, the People's club, Everton FC.

I will always be thankful to so many. Of course, the fans-- those who bring such passion and make Everton what it is. My teammates. Among others, Tony Hibbert, Leon Osman, and Leighton Baines were always a shining example of how a true Evertonian should train, play and act. Phil Jagielka has been the greatest and strongest captain, and it has been a privilege to follow him. Two great managers. David Moyes was the ultimate leader, combining strength and integrity. I am greatly indebted to Roberto Martinez for his great decency and commitment to me as a player and a man. My wonderful Chairman, Bill Kenwright, whose approving smile from the Director's Box will be an enduring memory; words cannot express my gratitude. And there are so many others that work at the club or support the club who are all part of my family, now and forever.

I will soon walk out on the Goodison pitch, the 414th time I have been honored and trusted to wear the famous Everton shirt. I will walk out of the tunnel one more time to hear Z-Cars and the thunderous applause of 40,000 Evertonians. I will hold these images and sounds with me wherever I go.

I am going home to America. But after a decade in Blue, THIS IS MY HOME. I love all of you, and am so grateful for what the club and everybody affiliated with it has given me. EVERTON, you have become a part of my soul. You'll forever be in my heart. COYB!!!

Your #24,

Tim Howard

Hope this goes some way to mend the fracture with some of the fanbase. Good luck Howard for the future .

It's hard to read that without becoming a touch emotional.
 

I realised in the 2009 FA Cup Final that we'd never win anything with Tim Howard in goal. Not entirely due to him of course but it all just fit together.

I don't wish any abuse on him today at all and hope he has a nice last game but would anyone be shocked if he let a Cameron Jerome pea roller in at his near post?

It's a happy day for us and for him, we move on.

agreed mate. tbh I have got a bit emotional reading that but I've always been a bit of a soft arse when it comes to anything related to Everton.

I've said it many times, not a world class keeper by any stretch but well worth what we paid for him and then some.

All the best Tim, hope you have an unspectacular day where the only thing you need to do is clap goal after goal after goal from the boys in Blue and you get to watch the last match as a fan to take it all in.
