• We've only had one proper one in decades. The club owners were so unimpressed by that they havent had one since. ...
  Martin Farrington in Do Everton need a new striker this January?
• What a find, Paul#12! It was a strange night, there wasn’t a great crowd, and probably 50% of it was Scottish. There were suggestions pre-match that there might be trouble. I was on the Gwladys Street terrace, my dad took my sister in the stand above me to avoid hassle. After 60-70 minutes, a shout went up on the terrace - “The Rangers are coming in”. One drunken Jock appeared on one of the ledge entrances. I met my dad after the game, he said there had been bedlam in the stand, the Rangers had gone in through the wrong entrance, they were looking for a scrap and nobody had wanted to respond! Just a story about that testimonial. I don’t want to deflect attention away from the loss of a genuine Everton giant, lesser known than some, but one of an elite band who won League and FA Cup medals for us....

• As there's no news on Iroegbunam, Alcaraz or KDH, Grealish out for 3(?)mths Rohl is a bit of a sick note and Gana's no spring chicken either. Armstrong must stay. He did well in the Championship - which is not a mugs / 'farmers' League. My call is he stays and learns by 'doing'...and he's been 'doing' OK. But hey, It's Moyes and we are after all, Everton - so who knows. Also; If I were to put on my hard headed, pragmatic, nay, ruthless (Yankee?) business head on, while we still have a 'window' of opportunity, I'd be looking to cancel Grealish's loan, save money, throw the ball back in Cities court and tell them...your guys broken, its up to you to fix him, not us, we'll take a look again in June - maybe. ...
  Derek Thomas in Harrison Armstrong to return to Preston on loan?
• Revie constantly threatened the top brass at Leeds with leaving in order to get wage increases. He did it for 20 years. The Everton contract was just one example of hom using offers to improve his position. He was extremely money orientated (as shown by resigning the England job for Saudi cash). There's an excellent book called 'The Unforgiven' which has plenty of detail in it. The board at Leeds were just as greedy, putting up ticket prices for big matches and trying to fleece players. He used to personally oil up and massage the players legs himself which was just plain creepy...
  Liam Mogan in Was Don Revie lined up to replace Harry Catterick?
• There’s going to be more usage of VAR, at this summer’s World Cup, but the good news is that they’re going to try and speed up the process. Like a lot of things that look really good in principle, there’s usually a downside when it is actually brought to the table, but if it helps to keep people talking by creating even more controversy, then my advice would say, BE CAREFUL. ...
  Tony Abrahams in Senegal lift Africa Cup of Nations after chaotic final
• It is probably a function of English being his second language but I love how he refers to roaring passionate fans as providing "feedback." It sounds like he is Barry Took on Points of View reading letters from the audience or something. ...
