I was apparently watching a different game from the rest of the fan base today, as I thought we were absolutely exceptional. We never looked in danger even for a minute, as Pickford didn’t have to make a single save beyond catching the ball from a weak header. Defensively, we were utterly perfect. Granted, we […]
No more negativity until Saturday night. Up the Ev. Allardyce is in charge and he’s been speaking well since his arrival. Now, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I don’t really want Allardyce, but there is always an inherent excitement that comes with welcoming a new manager to the club, and I’m looking […]
Who wouldn’t have thought we’d win 4-0? Always on the cards. On a day where Sam Allardyce was announced as Everton manager, we needed something positive, and we got far more than we asked for. It came in the form of a renaissance performance by Wayne Rooney. Actually, it was a throwback performance by everyone […]
To be honest I always thought having a mega-rich owner would be a bit different than this. We’re appointing Sam Allardyce, we have two centre-backs out to pasture at the twilight – far too nice a word of their careers and Michael Keane – Whatever he might be, with no natural width, no playmakers after […]
I don’t think there’s much left in me anymore. I’ll perk up again when we get the opening fixtures of Villa (H), Birmingham (A) and Burton (A) next season. But this is just one of the worst football teams I’ve seen. Call it hyperbole, or get your dad to come and tell me about Walter Smith […]
If you have any motivation for this game then you’re a better man than I am. I for one am starting to enjoy Saturdays without the tricky Blues finding a way to squander any happiness we find ourselves in when we wake up and realise it’s the weekend. Then all of a sudden … 3-0 Southampton. Off […]
If you’re expecting humour, don’t read any further. Everton were beaten 5-1 by Atalanta at Goodison. I’m not going to add anything to that. It emphasises itself. Instead I’m going to list some points and some takeaways. – We started the game with 4 players out of position. – Michael Keane and Ashley Williams were […]
To quote an ex-England manager – always a good start – ‘I don’t know why I’m here’. Genuinely. We’re out, I don’t really want to go that much but because we’re all off our heads we’ll go and be annoyed when we lose anyway. That’s if we’re not killed by the Atalanta ultras who will be scattered […]
If one was to define Everton, it’d be ‘ A word that means a massive high, followed by hilarity, chaos and suffering’. That’s basically the definition of the term and we’ve seen that in effect over the last week. Following the win against Watford, we’ve spent the duration of the international break tapping up various […]
The international break is coming to a close and over the time that there has been no worthwhile football on, I’ve been having a think about the good old Ev’. More specifically, just who is it (besides unfortunate family and regional circumstances) that makes me love the Blues, through all the absolute misery that they […]
If anyone ever asks you why you bother shelling out so much money to go and see some men kick a ball about at a rugged old stadium during the dark winter months, you show them the last 12 minutes of that game. And more importantly, if anyone ever asks why in the world you […]
To be honest I really couldn’t care less about this game. We’re going to get beat against Watford because they’re a better footballing team. They have better players across the pitch while we have a floundering defence consisting of nervous-as-hell youth players with experienced players who become deer in the headlights when asked to lead the […]
