Arsenal vs Everton

Play without fear Everton. They need the result more than we do, so will be under pressure and have one eye on what is going on with City.

Go and enjoy and express yourselves Everton. Nothing to lose.

Good Luck, Everton.

The heat is on Arsenal and Evertons great spirit of this season, can be their biggest weapon.

Believe, believe and believe.

City play good football consistently but in my opinion, the EPL and Masters, have brought the game into disrepute, for double standards. Their treatment of City, has made them a special case.
There is no standard with Masters and his puppets.

Tomorrow he will hear the views of the travelling Evertonians.

City couldnt handle 5 pens, a month ago, they'll melt with 115!

Enough said, and safe journeys to those going to Arsenal tomorrow, and all enjoy this weekend.

Now to beat Arsenal, and hopefully a solid announcement soon, regards new ownership of Everton FC.

The journey to Hell and Back, will soon be over.

UTFTs!

I have no time for Arteta. Since he left Everton, alls he's done is wax lyrical over Arsenal and Man City. Not heard one word about the club where he became established. UTFT.

For the first time ever, I'd like us to provide an entertaining high-scoring defeat.

Plus Mikky Arteta is a blue at heart so I would be happy if he was to win the league title with Arsenal. I also have many friends and family who support them.

Make them put in an effort worthy of winning a League Title, or better still — beat the bastards!

Danny, see you there.

All the pressure is on Arsenal, believe and you never know. If they want to win the league then we need to make them earn it.

COYBB – let's finish an extremely challenging season on a high.

To all the fans going, have a safe journey and let's give Masters and his mafia hell! Fuck the Premier League.

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!!!

Also hoping he is left in no doubt on our views on the corrupt nature of the Premier League and whether he and his cronies are fit for purpose. Surprised he's avoided attending Goodison to watch the team.

As our boys left for the flight down to London, their lovely wags will have been stuffing their Gucci luggage with sun creams and lotions, the air full of powerful fragrances. They (the players) will be on the beach.

There are the guys thinking of a nice break and then being fit for the Euros, the guys pondering a transfer to the big time, and the waifs and strays pondering less illustrious destinations.

Arsenal probably won't win the Title but they have every reason to put everything into this game. They are a fabuous side and, with their crowd behind them, will have every incentive to go one better than last season.

Our only hope will be Pickford and our two centre-halves. And should news filter through, that City are ahead, then the game could peter out.

Thank God that we can just relax this time!

Dean, choose your words. Whoever wants their team to lose?

I don't usually speak out, but it's disrespectful to the thousands making the journey and watching around the the globe wanting to see us win.

I have no interest in who wins the league. It doesn't impact us at the end of a very traumatic season.

What an opportunity to shove the points right back up the Premier League. Believe. UTFT

But we need a new song, and I'd pick Three Little Birds, only for Ajax, 777, and Moshiri!

As has been said, two teams, a game of football; while it remains 0-0, anything can be possible in terms of result, as long as it is fairly played and refereed.

Safe and hopefully rewarding trip to all those magnificent travelling Toffees, give Masters all he deserves, well stop short of hanging the bastard!

COYB 💙💙👍

To tell you what, we are not Spurs – we will fight to get a win.

Beat the Arsenal, let Masters and his puppets know what Everton FC, means to Evertonians!

A new era beckons for Everton. UTFTs!

Man City, Chelsea and the RS have been chosen. Obviously;y going to be a love-in with Bingo but the Chavs is a strange choice.

Ain't getting nothing here. Roll on the summer and focus on sorting out the ownership so Dyche can plan ahead for next season.

It's because TNT (BT Sport) have nabbed it.

Wouldn't it be great if we and West Ham are both in it with 5 minutes to go. Highly unlikely, but the miserable pundits and the wider footie world might just have to afford us the tiniest bit of credit.

I never want to see us lose but in my fantasy world the Hammers cling on for a point and the Arse get a ridiculous last-minute VAR penalty for a win and the title.

In truth, I reckon that Man City will have it done by half-time so Mr Dyche can then throw on all our young subs with gay abandon.

However, Arteta is determined to go out with a Title, so fasten seat-belts!

If you are – strange decision.
If not – think about those who are.

Hope that Dobbin, Chermiti and Warrington get some time, maybe even starts. Might be a game for Godfrey at right back to bring solidity?

Pickford
Coleman Tarkowski Branthwaite Young
Garner Gueye
Chermitti Doucoure McNeil
Calvert-Lewin

I just want Everton to win. We are obvious underdogs, but as they say, it's a funny old game.

We want a win – a win for the fans, especially the traveling support, a win for the club, and in our present circumstances, a win for the additional league position income.

COYB

Arsenal are scoring for fun so they are very dangerous opponents, but you never know what the result will be. If Dyche can get something out of this game, he should be right up there for manager of the season after the season we have had.

Not really sure how I feel about this match otherwise but it's certainly a relief not to go into the final game worried about relegation.

I've no doubt it'll be 11 v 12 tomorrow.

I hope they do their best for all our fans — especially for the fans going today, and who have done for a long time because they love Everton FC.

Not a bad record. Forget the draws and defeats!

Lot of Blue dots in that connecting, and it wouldn't bother me a bit.

But surely Man City destroys West Ham for the title, ensuring the complete and utter collapse of your Mother's old adage: "Cheaters never prosper."

I'd like to see Chermiti get a start. I think he has shown a bit of promise, certainly more than the lumbering Beto, in the very brief glimpses we have been given.

Everton just posted (of course they did) a video on YouTube of BMD and how it's coming along. The stadium looks amazing.

There was one super cool shot of a worker up on the roof and you could see Goodison in the background.

That stadium could be the financial answer (in part) for this club, or it could be the anchor that takes us to the bottom of the Mersey if we don't find new ownership soon.

But one thing is for sure – it is absolutely gorgeous. They've really done a fantastic job in my opinion.

Many thanks, I never thought to check TNT as I wrongly assumed it was just Sky.

Without the points deduction, we'd be going into this last fixture with the possibility of finishing anywhere between 10th and 13th – so in real terms the points deduction is going to end up costing us anywhere from six league places (equivalent to £18.6M) to as little as two league places (equivalent to £6.2M).

Anyway, whatever happens tomorrow it's been a season of survival on and off the pitch, and hopefully the players and management staff will be determined to give a good showing and do whatever it takes to turn Arsenal's title hopes on their head.

The real battle starts when the transfer window opens. Even if there are going to be outgoings that will hurt the fanbase it needs to enable us to achieve stability across the entire club for next season. Hopefully Dyche and Thelwell are not forced into another corner, as they cannot be expected to fight their way out, with one hand tied behind their backs, season after season.

The Everton Stadium looks stunning.

At the last meet up at the Bramley Moore pub, we were taken by Tony, who took us on a route that took us over a brow that brought her into sight.

Simply stunning. She will be as special as Goodison Park.

Andre Gomes would easily fit into a Man City side.

He feeds off runners. I watched him against Sheff Utd and many other games: as soon as he gets the ball, he looks for runners. If you don't have runners, it's not worth playing Andre.

I've said it earlier. He is a quality footballer who is comfortable on the ball. He needs Idrissa Gana Gueye around him and options in front of him.

Without the points deduction, as it stands, we would be 11th, which would equate about £10M extra in prize money…

Then again, pigs might fly!!

Rob, perhaps he will announce that 777 has been approved…

Sorry, that's not funny, I know. He is in for a lot of abuse tomorrow.

Maybe we will get some support from the Arsenal crowd not to mention to remind the rest of the world watching on TV.

“Hey! dickhead Masters,

What about Citeh's 115?”

And repeat, and repeat ……

I'm another admirer of Gomes and have consistently said he's a proper player in a 3-man midfield where he shows his passing skills. He was never suited when he was picked in a 2-man midfield.

It's a good video, Jamie, and I've added it here:

Rail Seating installation begins at the new Everton Stadium

Must be that American-inspired design you are appreciating from Dan Meis, Jamie.

One thing that he is surely bringing over from the American stadiums I've been in is the full use of concourse space. It seems Everton have fully embraced this in their 'ALL'=themed hospitality.

Interesting how we see the game so differently. I think he's crap. Absolutely crap.

He messes up so many easy passes. He rarely scores or assists. He commits silly fouls in bad areas (usually in front of our goal). He doesn't help win a midfield. He doesn't unlock a tight defence. He's not noted for his lung-busting runs into the opposition's box, nor is he a key cog in playing the pass before the assist (the pre-assist if you will).

Essentially he doesn't particularly contribute and I wouldn't keep him for £20k a week.

Good riddance

And some fans think we are paranoid.

Man City to draw with The Hammers. Got a fiver on it!

17 points is what he recommended!!

I'll be wearing my Cahill17 shirt and flinging him all I've got!

Peter Reid scored 8 goals in 7 years.

I don't understand hoping us to lose.

How can anyone want Everton to lose? Alien to me.

Reid had other attributes like his tackling ability and work rate. Gomes is terrible at both and his career stats for assists and goals are pathetic.

Never seen him dribble, can't tackle, doesn't score, slow as a snail across salt, about once every two years he has a game where he does 2 or 3 decent passes.

The lads are on the beach after a fucking nightmare season with the corrupt knobs at the Premier League wanting us gone (fuck 'em).

Man City will win too (3-1 methinks), so it will be a game that is quickly forgotten about. Our main aim is finding new owners and getting in new investments and spending what money we are given wisely on improving the team, keeping hold of Branthwaite (for the time being), and hopefully getting off to a good start next season.

Gomes wasn't a player I admired before Son crippled him but, post assault, the guy has been as Ben describes.

We are losing at least 4 players and being told that there is no cash for spends whatsoever. It's all gonna be freebies and we can't even afford them.

I can't see anything other than disappointment for yet a further season and in reality probably at least another 5 seasons.

Maupay and Holgate may return. Oh hell.

If we sell Branthwaite and Onana we have then lost 6. Just under 40% of the first team squad.

It defies belief that we can get 6 Premier League players in with money let alone with none.

Yes, a little bit may trickle down from sales but who of any quality would want to come here?

Looks like all the eggs are in the Che Adams basket for 'a striker' which is shit on many fronts.

With the expected demise of the 777 Ponzi Ponces, and those with vested interest kicking their heels at taking over, Moshiri's master must be struggling for honest Johns. With no worldwide interest in this once great club, it looks like robbing Peter to pay Paul is also our off-field strategy.

As for tomorrow. The thing I look forward to the most is seeing our amazing fans, singing and cheering.

Buoyant and uplifting. The best in the world.

How long will that last, not long I suspect before our usual Arsenal drubbing ensues.

COYB

I rarely directly compare two players although make parallels. No two players are the same but can be similar.

One thing I always draw out is that, despite the emphasis on the Kevin Brock back pass, when you watch it closely, Reid forces the mistake through his pressing that puts it on a plate for Heath.

All opinions, but in mine, Gomes is a good player. He just needed hunters around him to let him play.

Wouldn't it be lovely to look forward to a summer where we can keep our best players like Branthwaite, and be able to change the squad the way Dyche and Thelwell want, for a change?

To do a job on Arsenal in front of Masters with our mob giving him personal pelters from the first minute would make my season, even better than the derby win.

The shit we've taken all season from the Premier League, officials, other fans has been put in its place by a heroic performance from management, players and mainly fans.

What a brilliant end it would be to end the worst season in recent history to finish with a two-fingered salute to Masters and the Premier League.

I’ll settle for a draw, it it would be nice to sing 1-0 to Everton.

I am totally cheesed off with what we Evertonians have had to endure this season so I desperately want us to win this one. The icing on the cake would be for the Hammers to beat City.

Up the blues!!!

Same shit next season, so enjoy your holidays...

I'm off to Ibiza tomorrow, it's a long way from Perth in Australia but looking forward to seeing some blue shirts,

I would love him to stay. He could fit into any team. My worry with the United rumours (and that's all they are) is we get Maguire in return. Then again, I've been wrong about players in the past.

Mark, safe travels. that's some journey! I remember flying from Sydney to Perth and not realising it was a 5 hour flight!

Well, despite the media frenzy, we are not just making up the numbers. As always, I watch the news early and heard a quote that if City slip up, Arsenal take the title. Very patronising. Even if City lose, Arsenal have to win.

Who cares? Just have a great day out blues and for those watching on TV, stay away from the Klopp-fest, it will make you ill.

Bella Ciao. Diving header please Dominic!!

City will win! Everton to win! Yes!!! We will win today! Just have a feeling in my gut about today. Hopefully not the curry I had last evening.

Enjoy the day everyone.

Extra special Thank You to our amazing Travelling Blue Army, have a great day. Safe journey to you all. Everton to win. COYB.

I'm sure Citeh will take the title but will it get much of a mention in the media? It's Klopp Day after all.

Fuck off, Masters, now, you arrogant two-faced twat. You've fucked the game up, you crooked two-faced twat

Get the cards out today – but it's likely that the Arsenal security will be searching.

All the name-dropping you keep doing about places you have been to around the world, can't believe you didn't know it was a 5-hour flight from Sydney to Perth.

I believe Sudocrem is very good in such cases, a tip given to me by Nurse Emma Royd! :-)

Is that too much to hope for?

I've only been to Australia twice. Once for 5 days with the military, hence my staying at Swanbourne near Perth.

The other was three nights in Sydney with a a commercial company. That was brutal on the body clock.

In we go. Good luck everyone.

Let's hope the Everton team earn their "Purple Hearts" today.
They surely deserve them this season!

I am sure he'll be available should an offer come in but I think he'd do okay under Dyche paying behind Calvert-Lewin or Beto which would mean we could push Doucoure back to his favoured No 8 position.

What a way to cock a snook – what a great phrase (no idea where it came from ) – and finally help us win at the Emirates.

Doucoure – One-nil to Everton. COYBs

I reckon tha Maupay has done enough at Brentford and is sufficiently visible on social media to be assured that he will have suitors elsewhere.

It's been another poor season that we have survived despite all the problems and, let's face it, only a few weeks ago, many of us were in the dumps.

The Summer will bring inevitable changes although there is very little wriggle room financially so it is critical the hierarchy weed out the dross and try to bring in one or two quality additions.

If we assume Calvert-Lewin, Chermitti and Beto will be kept, then Che Adams on a free could be a decent addition to the strike force.

Doucoure may want to finally leave so that gap needs filling although Onana may just be ready to fill his shoes.

Lots to ponder but I am sure the next few weeks will resolve some issues.

And who are 'Trent' 'Darwin' 'Virgil' 'Alexis'?????

My God, I need a bloody shower!!!!!!

Over £100k a week for a midfielder who doesn't score goals and can't tackle, without thinking of first bringing in other players with pace who can tackle and/or score.

Brands was brilliant at paying over the odds for talented, ineffective players.

A backs-to-the-wall clean sheet at The Emirates for a nil-nil draw.

Man City will lose to West Ham but retain the title. All of which will be quite funny.

Put bets on this outcome at your own risk. I'm not. :)

I just want to say a huge thank you to every one of those 3,000. You have done the club proud. To all those at Goodison who held the cards high to tell the world what we think of the Premier League, brilliant guys. You showed the rest of the world what every other club supporters (apart from the Sly Six) know.

To Michael and Lyndon, the hardest season to cover, I don't know where I would be without you and ToffeeWeb. You should never have to pay for a drink again.

A special mention to Danny, how the hell you have stayed positive and focused on the football no matter what is nothing short of incredible. I hope you are rewarded today!

Lastly, to all of you on ToffeeWeb, god knows how you hung in there but at long last we are of one voice.

ps: Mr Moshiri, like you, I hope it's your last season in charge of Everton FC. History will probably treat you better than you deserve but I thank you for a world class vision and a world class stadium.

To Dan Meis, you have created something that every toffee is proud of, and we haven't even set foot in it yet.

To the lads out there today, if it's your last game in blue, give it your all, make us remember you well, for all of you, after all you have had to deal with, pull it off. We have a score or two to settle down there, everyone thinks it's a foregone conclusion, do it for yourself, do it for the fans, do it for Everton. Up the Toffees!

Watching some passionate footy right now... Crawley and Crewe in the League 2 final, Crawley just scored their second goal to secure promotion.

The club was purchased a year ago by a group of US cryptocurrency investors apparently inspired by Welcome to Wrexham (Wrexham already won promotion). Every Yank wants to be an owner these days.

I remember a derby at Anfield and he was superb – a quality act. The Son injury of him ruined Andre. Put work horses around him and his quality will shine through.

He had the best team in the world around him at Barca and his "quality" never shone through. He's had work horses around him at Everton and his quality was flashes at best -- a brilliant assist here, a top corner blast there, but long stretches of zero.
