Currently holed up in a hotel 100 miles from home as my wife had to go into hospital just before Christmas. I can see a football ground from my hotel room. The hospital is right next to the football ground (how do they get away with that?).......St James Park.....

BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!!!! Trevor Powell 17 Posted 25/12/2015 at 09:39:44 As an old codger exiled to the South east, many thanks for all your wonderful work with this website. It helps me to keep in touch with the best football club in the world. My first match was Everton v Ipswich in 1961 and I have seen such wonderful players grace the old blue shirt. Equally, I have loved the supporters for their passion and often great kindness at matches everywhere. Lyndon and Michael, you have produced something much richer than a simple reportage of the the club, you have created a community and conduit for so many! You are modern Toffee heroes in your own rights!

Got a feeling next year will be special for us though.. David Midgley 45 Posted 25/12/2015 at 13:15:43 Thank you M&L and L&M. A true labour of love. To all the posters , the ones who've made me euphoric,sad,happy,despondent ,hopeful,curious,enraged,soothed and frustrated . To the gudd and bad spelerz, the narks,the critics and the nit pickers. I've enjoyed it all --most of the time, it's a bit like S&M. Thank you all and carry on in the coming year. I've often thought that following Everton is a bit like that expression about a journey "Sometimes it's better to travel than arrive " Tom Bowers 46 Posted 25/12/2015 at 13:23:10 Thanks to all for a great website especially on match days.Great to see the vast disparity of opinion, always interesting.Hopefully we all have a lot more better things to comment on from now on.

Brian Cleveland 50 Posted 25/12/2015 at 13:54:43 Merry Christmas to everyone, and thanks to the dynamic duo for their efforts on the site. As (another) expat on the site, (I think I'm the only in Colombia!), it's where I come first to find out news and the dreaded rumours... almost always way ahead of the official site.Good luck to everyone for next year and especially our beloved team. Trevor Peers 51 Posted 25/12/2015 at 14:09:16 Have a great Christmas Lyndon and Michael and all our great fans, TW is my first port of call on the web everyday, for my fix of all things Everton love it.

Wish you all the best of the last few games in 2015 and our team hitting the ground running in 2016, fulfilling it's potential! Nothing but the Christmas celebrations! # Frank Wade 54 Posted 25/12/2015 at 14:38:19 Adding my Christmas greetings to Lyndon and Michael and the fantastic ToffeeWeb community.

Brian Porter 56 Posted 25/12/2015 at 15:12:24 Happy Christmas to all Evertonians everywhere. Thanks to the guys for keeping ToffeeWeb alive and kicking. Talking of which let's hope the team is full of life and ready for some serious kicking (of the ball of course) tomorrow. Paul Tran 57 Posted 25/12/2015 at 15:42:18 Thanks and best wishes to Michael and Lyndon for creating the first website I look at every day.Merry Christmas to all Blues everywhere. We may disagree on plenty, but we all want success for the team and club. Enjoy! Peter Mills 58 Posted 25/12/2015 at 15:58:54 Best wishes all round, especially to Michael and Lyndon for their time, effort, tolerance and insight. Joseph Terrence 59 Posted 25/12/2015 at 16:26:00 Merry Christmas to all blues, but I would like to thank Lyndon and Michael especially! Toffee web is far and away the best team site, official or unofficial, on the Internet and I'm glad I can hear the opinions of all toffees. COYB Steve Woods 60 Posted 25/12/2015 at 16:42:02 Adding my thanks to all those above. Undoubtedly you have made the best site for all Evertonians to drop in and visit. Wishing you both a very Happy Christmas. John Daley 61 Posted 25/12/2015 at 16:47:50 Well, it's been a quite phenomenal Xmas day. Dominated possession during the exchange of pressies, passing parcels safely from side to side (relying mainly on my right hand, it has to be said).Dropped one, but showed great maturity and a fantastic understanding of the festive spirit to shrug off such an immense setback and display my intent to enjoy the key Christmas moments. Still went home empty handed though, as I naively left the back door wide open and some ruthless, opportunistic, scrote bastard nipped in and robbed everything at the last second. All the best for the festive season (and special thanks to Michael and Lyndon......for not banning me years ago). Santosh Benjamin 62 Posted 25/12/2015 at 16:57:15 Happy Christmas to all ToffeeWebbers from India.Great work LL and MK with the changes in the site not compromising what we stand for on TW. Its been a sad season so far. The few highs have been drowned out by the lows of inconsistency and awful defending. It reached a peak after the Leicester game with me to be honest and I thought of stopping to watch for a while...after 29 years of following Everton. It made me sad that the players and manager don't take the games as seriously as us fans do. I work long hours and the few things I have to look forward to are my family and football. It really hurts when we lose/draw without showing any fighting spirit. I hated the defeatist attitude under Moyes but this lack of respect for defense is dangerous. Posession doesnt win us games....get that into your head,Roberto.Goals for us and none against us, does win us games. Hope we can get McCarthy back to shore up the midfield. Cleverly doesnt do a good enough job defensively. Jags is badly needed at the back and so is a keeper who can keep goals out! Mirallas needs a run in the team, as does Naismith. Hope the run of festive fixtures is kind to us for once...COYB Alan Bodell 63 Posted 25/12/2015 at 17:10:21 Got to say Happy Xmas to Lyndon, Michael, Ken and everyone who puts this show together.It's part of my day so thanks and all the best to all who suffer as we have done for so long, aye aye aye oh..... David Hallwood 64 Posted 25/12/2015 at 17:10:57 Do twebbers celebrate Christmas ? I thought we were all so miserable that we just sit in a corner screaming humbug! Seriously merry Christmas to one and all and a big thank you to Michael & Lyndon for creating the best fansite around by a country mile. Mads Kamp 65 Posted 25/12/2015 at 17:16:15 Lyndon and Michael are the best! Merry Xmas everybody. David Greenwood 66 Posted 25/12/2015 at 17:17:30 All the best to everyone involved with the site.

Just bringing some balance.............Seriously, may BK have a peaceful and pain-free Christmas, and I hope all fellow blues enjoy good health in the following year. Thank you very much Lyndon and Michael, even when you've banned me.See you tomorrow at the Skunks game. COYB. Phil Bellis 77 Posted 25/12/2015 at 20:22:10 'Twas Christmas Day in the jailhouseThe Toffee was sat in his cell"Put out yer puddin for Christmas"He heard the warder yell"If yer want treacle on yer puddinPut it out without delay..."So the Toffee put out his puddinAnd the warder took it away'Twas ever thusSweetheart! get me coat, pleaseAll best wishes to Blues everywhere Tony Draper 78 Posted 25/12/2015 at 20:40:43 Michael & Lyndon, as so many have already said, Thank You Both Very Much Indeed.If, for just one second, I could sincerely believe that the future of Everton FC was as bright as the debate here on ToffeeWeb then I would be a VERY chuffed Toffee indeed.Thanks to all contributors, whether we agree, disagree, amuse, inform , take the piss, or simply make each other think, because We were blessed by the Holy Trinity when we were Born A Blue !Link(I will continue to plug this magnificent tribute to our club by the Great Evertonian, founder of "The La's" and Rockabilly Legend that is, Mike Badger)Merry Xmas Evertonians !

Danny O'Neill 81 Posted 25/12/2015 at 22:07:18 Lyndon, Michael, Best wishes and thank you for the time and effort you out in to providing us with one of the best forums in football for debating our beloved blues and football in general.Regardless of our viewpoint and opinion, best wishes to all fellow blues out there. Ultimately we all want the same thing, we just have differing views on how that will be realised.....as long as it is, who cares who was right?!! Eddie Dunn 82 Posted 25/12/2015 at 23:20:53 Just time for me to add my good wishes to all of you that make this place so special. I look forward to hearing the varied views on all things Everton and enjoy all of the conjecture and speculation. Thanks to the chaps who put so much of their time into keeping it all going, Michael, Lyndon, and Ken etc. Cheers! Finlay Robin 83 Posted 25/12/2015 at 23:48:31 Cracking site.
