Had a stent put in a few years back, and happily sang “I Wanna Be Sedated” as they went about the job! Keep on keeping on, Danny! x

We've had Atwell three times this season and won all three games - Brighton at home; Newcastle and Fulham away!

Lest we forget a certain Harrison Armstrong?

It's funny how.....
When you lose a derby, you just know you're going to spend the evening at work (a shopkeeper) knowing telly clapping Reds who've never been to a game will all pop in, all wearing assorted LFC tops, and thinking they're being uber cool and funny, gracing you with their presence...

Agreed.
I genuinely felt we'd get the better of them today.
We should have.
We didn't.
Blame a shit corrupt ref all we like, but that was on us for not having the "street smarts" to clinch the win.
Game was there.
They snook in late and said thank you very much.
Again.
We need to learn.

If that game had've ended 1-1, I might've been guilty of comparing it to the pre-Milk Cup Final derby back in 1984, when Alan Harper earned us a draw against one of Europe's finest. We're deffo closing the gap on the Reds, noting how early they parked a bus today. Shot ourselves in the foot though..

Shopping List for the summer:
Barry - be gone. Anywhere. Just be gone.
McNeil - thank you, but move on.
A dedicated right back is a priority - we're not helping O'Brien, who was piss poor today, leaving him as a makeshift right back.

As galling as that was, we're moving in the right direction.

Could only happen to us in a derby! They’ve to bring on a third choice keeper - who gets little or nowt to do but watch aimless balls his way swept up by defenders. They even park the bus, happy to settle for a draw, and still find time to nick it.

I’d rather have seen Braiden Graham chucked on up top instead of Barry!

Positives? We’re closer to those we aspire to compete with.
Negatives: Barry - take a hit in the summer, just get rid.
Pathetic ‘effort’ from him today.
The minute we moved Ndiaye out wide right, in effect we played with 9.
Beelzebub struck again at the death.

Did indeed! You and I both know it was a completely different game back then!

Don’t blame me!!!!

Only one yellow so far, and it Pickford??!

Call me insane - I still think we can win this! Memories of Mo Jo and Beardsley! We’ve not done too much wrong there, though their goal has absolutely taken the wind out of our sails!
They’ve not played well.

McNeil needs replacing ASAP. The lack of desire to tackle Gakpo there - shocking.

Is today National Kick The Shit Out Of Gana Gueye Day?
Chris Kavanagh (no f*****g relation!) doing what he does…
#UTDT #NSNO #EVERTON

Fulham at home, sun was shining and we had something like 15 goals disallowed before winning 3-0!

Awful pity the drone coverage didn’t include the Mersey - just to highlight the, ahem, blueness of both! 😎

Nice to hear @meisarch.bsky.social on Radio Merseyside right now!

For the record - today’s ref is most certainly no relation of mine!

Fan Reaction: Everton vs Manchester United (F.A CUP SEMI-FINAL penalty shoot-out) -WEMBLEY STADIUM! YouTube video by Crypto Channels

Another omen for the day (yes, it's clutching at straws!)...
The glory of a winning penalty shoot out.
17 years ago today!
Feels like yesterday.
And it helps you fast forward through the rubbish that followed!

Embrace it.
@giuliabould.bsky.social - have a word pre game with Ndiaye.... show him this!
UP THE TOFFEES!

The most famous warm-up in football history.

On this day in 1989, Napoli faced Bayern Munich at Olimpiastadion in Munich and Diego (inadvertently) created a piece of art for the ages 🥹

That’s the one! It remains glorious!

Those that know, eh?
And don't forget the reserves.....

A reverse of the September 1985 derby at Goodison then?
Wonderful game of footy that was - we were 0-3 down at half time, and I swear, another ten minutes at the end, it would have gone from 2-3 to 4-3 for us!
Brilliant game, tough loss though!
We still owe them for it!

There's been times in my life when I've confidently predicted an Everton win.
Yes, it's true.
And on those occasions, my faith has been validated.
On many other occasions it hasn't!
I'm all in for a 2-0 home win tomorrow.
Based on what?
Nothing!
Hope.
Blind hope, perhaps.
Who knows!

I think Spurs v Brighton was the biggest test for us al!!!

Go wash your mouth out, Marko - we'll have none of that talk 'round these parts! 😎
