Had visitors over Friday and Saturday who are west ham and Blackburn sth so reminded me how it was to face relegation. Might also catch up with my niece's spurs boyfriend, he's a good lad. Perspective needed today.
I'm off to walk the dog in the sunshine, keep positive toffees.
The noise in that stadium for both of them games was insane
The Chelsea game and moments yesterday (ndiayes goal) illustrate the raw power the south stand generates. We are 3-4 players short of getting us to a level that unleashes and sustains that power. Shrewd business needed this summer, and still 15 points to get. Target is Europe.
Think it was there on a plate at 1-1, incredibly frustrated that players couldn't step up against them of all teams. Still, five games and 15 points to go for.
Guiness only 4 quid, nice one
Get down to bramley moore dock woooooo
Up and at them today toffees. Going to get there early. Let's hope the first derby on the dockside goes down in history for all the right reasons for Everton. Jimmy Garner screamer incoming.
Night blueskyers. Tomorrow we batter the red shite.
Hard work watching that with a west ham fan.
Watched the Brentford fulham game, unfortunately. Dire, scrappy match, poor quality.
Nice one chico. 'Super scarf lofters' indeed.
Blackburn,Ipswich, Colchester and Accrington, so I've been told!
Yes that is the question
Question from my visitors- No Google allowed, only 4 teams of the 92 haven't played at the new Wembley?
Well that was weird. Sat with rovers fans watching Cov play for time at the end. Pleased for Lampard.
My best derby goal is Sharpe's volley in 84. I was on the kop in amongst loads of fellow blues. Mayhem ensued. It was days if not weeks later I picked up on 'the windmill'. An everton worldy on Sunday to truly give new memories, please.
So this weekend I have a niece and her boyfriend staying over. She's Blackburn Rovers, he's West Ham (STH). At least am being honest saying I can empathise with their respective relegation fears.
Coincidence.... I was thinking it could be a worldy winner Sunday. Possibly a Jimmy Garner special moment to cap a great season for him.
Not had a pint all week, drinking app says this is good for my health! Doesn't realise derby weekend means several bevvies will be consumed, starting with Timothy Taylors landlord bitter this fine Friday afternoon.
Bit of mad shout this only days before the game My mate who passed away in 2014 His son goes the game with us now he normally get his tickets quite regularly But he’s just messaged me telling me he’s been let down Gutted for him he’s a smashing lad So if you hear of any spare tickets going 🙏🤞
37 years ago being at Villa Park. Never knew much in the ground other than murmurings something bad happened. Any win celebration was muted. On coach back, one guy had a Nokia phone and relayed the awful news. Thoughts today with the families of the 97, time to put the Hillsboro law on the statute.
Season tickets renewed.
Don't think there has been a year when I've renewed with this much optimism in a long time!
Time to start planning next weekend's game festivities, blue family coming to mine for Saturday night warm up, then off to the docks for a big day Sunday.
Come on Silva and Iwobi, cheer us up this fine Saturday evening please.
A red card or two today for a couple of Liverpool players, would do nicely for next week.
Everton away fans in good voice at the end.
Frustrating at times today, but take a point, 6 to go, everything to play for.
Hard to watch the first 20, looked well off the pace, half asleep. Hopefully starting to see some momentum last 20 to carry into second half. Work some half time magic mr Moyes.
Now let's get going toffees
