• Well like him or loathe him,and I have had my moments,he has guided the team to Premier League safety after what has been a torrid season of unfairness and set backs galore,he himself stating that the job was not the “way it was pitched to him” alludes to being stitched up like a kipper and not having the full facts given to him.We have all at some time had to do our jobs with one hand tied behind our backs but to have both tied must drain your will,confidence and desire for the job in hand.His tactics,team selections and game plans have caused grief and disbelief many a time,but they have all been made with the belief at the time of steering the team to this moment,safety,and in their own way,they have worked for the greater good of the team.Things would seem to be “ All is not well with the RS “ who at this moment in time with this season,have only won what their beloved captain Emlyn Hughes dubbed “The Mickey Mouse Cup “ in his day,for its lack of significance,seems lit...
  Ted Roberts in ”Against all odds” – Everton take a bow after securing survival with games to spare
• What a fantastic week for everybody, three wins and three clean sheets, and premiership football for next season. It's been exhausting, but given the ongoing saga of points deductions, ownership and financial worries it's truly amazing what the Manager, his staff and the players have achieved. Hopefully from somewhere we will get some stability with new owners with the skills and commitment to lead us forward. Realistically we are still some distance away from this, but the Manager, his staff and the players have done their bit in the most difficult of circumstances. Let's hope that somebody out there will see the potential with the new stadium looking more impressive every week. But from somewhere we need honest, experienced people who have the commitment, resources and vision to take over and Manage the Club in a proper sustainable fashion. At some stage we shall have to begin managing the Club like the big undertaking it is, we have had three years of near misses and I doubt we ...

• Ernie, just for balance, out of players who play a similar role as Doucoure - only Douglas Luiz (9) has more goals this season. And he has the same as Ward-Prowse and McGinn (6). Surprisingly he has more goals than Gibbs-White (5) and the likes of Maddison and Paqueta (4) - even though the latter three have much lighter defensive duties. He has been effective in may respects - and I think Dyche has done well in getting that out of a limited player. But I do agree that that we need to move on from just being effective, and introduce better footballers into the team if we are to move into the Top 10 again. With someone like Sigurdsson in the same role, the football would improve dramatically....

• Not me Mike, I am both amazed and proud, Gana getting two goals in a week, The team bouncing back like this, I'm ashamed now to admit I didn't believe they had this. I haven't been to the old lady in some years, but my boy has bought us a stadium tour for two so I will go at least once more, listening to the faithful today was very moving, I lived it and loved it... Whatever happens off the pitch, today was pure everton, we are all born blue, we deserved today ...

• Brian Wilkinson @ 80; Keane as a striker? not so long as his arse points to the ground.Those few minutes showed me he has no clue how to play striker - again to me, his 'On field body language' if you get my drift, showed somebody who didn't know if he was Arthur or Martha, where do I go...as he looks to drift back.Gabriel could play striker - you get on the last man and/or the back line and put yourself about. Lyons could do it, Marshall could do it.All Keane is good for is going up for corners or putting his boot through a loose ball in the box....
