Everton have reportedly established a deal with Arsenal shareholder and business partner of Farhad Moshiri, Alisher Usmanov’s, USM Group to acquire the naming rights of Finch Farm. Here is that segment. Extremely exciting if true, could he be indirectly funding Moshiri's vision? #EFC pic.twitter.com/o4JnuxYlkL — Read Everton (@ReadEverton) January 5, 2017 The USM Group is heavily involved with both Moshiri […]
If you’d have come out with this predicted scoreline at half time you’d have been thrown in an asylum somewhere. It was an abhorrent first half, accompanied by a myriad of exotic moans from the Gwladys. The main source of excitement was counting how many planes flew over Goodison, at least that’s what me and […]
We’re playing way, way too much lately. It feels like we have three games per week. Anyway, Southampton next, I think, it’s all a blur. They’re decent, around our level. They’re Ronnie’s old team, pretty one-sided rivalry. Do I have to go on? Fine. We’re coming off of a poor result at bottom-of-the-league Hull (Which I will heavily […]
Happy New Year, Blues. Hull started the game very well as we started poorly, and the game all around was a bit poor. I thought we were ok in the 20 minutes or so leading up to our goal, some good movement, especially in Kevin Mirallas and Enner Valencia. But you’re here for positive thoughts, are you? […]
Coming off of a great win going into the New Year Fixtures is always nice, and it gives us a tonne of momentum if nothing else. I thought we played well against Leicester, albeit horrendously dull. We controlled the game, killed what little atmosphere was hiding behind those Vardy masks and inflicted Claudio Ranieri’s third defeat […]
We went into Christmas 9th this year, as opposed to 10th and 11th in the two previous seasons. Under Moyes, we were notoriously slow starters, having went into Christmas 15th, 14th and 11th, and finishing 8th, 7th and 7th in 2009/10, 10/11 and 11/12 respectively. So we can take some comfort in knowing that a […]
January is the biggest month in modern Everton history. It is a month in which we need a complete revamp of the squad in every position. We need a new direction in which to take the squad. We need fresh ideas. We need results. We need help. Koeman, so far, has not had a successful […]
I hate derbies. The Liverpool biased build up, some ridiculous storyline that is fabricated to accommodate an otherwise dull fixture, the ever-present dread of what will happen during, and after, the game, and all the rest. Just hate them. Form never matters with them, it’s always just who turns up on the day. And that’s usually Liverpool. […]
Long-serving full-back Leighton Baines is set to sign a new two-year deal to keep him at Goodison Park, according to reports. There had been some speculation about his future as he has, this season, entered the last year of his contract, however, the new deal seems to secure his future until he turns 34 after […]
Jose Mourinho has said that he will allow both Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin to leave Manchester United in January. The pair haven’t started any of United’s Premier League games this season, and look likely to be left out of any future squads the Portuguese manager may draw up. This has sparked speculation of their […]
You’ve never, ever, shone so brightly. Goodison was in raptures tonight, and the players responded in full They knew what Everton meant, they remembered who they were playing for. Everton. That was Everton. The iron lungs if Everton were glowing blue hot tonight after Ashley Williams netted that winner, and the subsequent heroic stops by Mori […]
You know, these night games are usually boss. Well, they used to be anyway, especially that Chelsea game last season. I’m pretty young, so that was far and away my best night at Goodison. The atmosphere was overwhelming, and all of the players gave all that they had. I probably would have given every player a […]
