    Eric Myles in Everton's Older Heads Step Up
  • Dear God and I thought that Moyes could come out with a stream of crap in his pressers, but Mr. Tudor wins the prize: ' I believe more after this game than I believed before. I saw something - the boat is going in the direction that I want to go [me too Igor], and needs to go, and who is in the boat can stay. Otherwise they can leave the boat'. I'm sure that Dyche must have mentioned 'the boat'. Oh, and I couldn't resist this: 'Forest Green Rovers defender Jili Buyabu will be back helping his side's promotion push just two days after delivering his own baby - Buyabu, who has been on loan from Sheffield United all season, is in line for a starting berth'. ...

  • Dave # 30 - they will have fans like us who live and breathe it - unlike the only two who I have know personally who drank gin and tonics which as a 19 year old scally seemed very strange to me. To be honest, their plight has been a wake up call for me and a reminder of how terrible I felt at half time against Palace. The thought of us going down was unbearable. So I have to say, although I don’t like him much, if Moyes was their manager they probably wouldn’t be in the position they are in. Having said that, I reserve the right to lambast him on here, whenever he makes a decision that drives me up the wall. Finally, in the end it was the Evertonians who dragged us from the jaws of disaster - the Spurs fans need to get their heads up and take a leaf out of our book. They can make a difference....
    Laurie Hartley in Premier League — Matchweek 29
  • Good of you Dave A to empathise and sympathise with desperate distraught Spuds fans. I really get that human dimension (though Rob H would say that they are not human!). '' It's the PL and life DA, you don't need telling that, and each year three sets of fans get relegated and this year Spurs could be one of them. Burnley fans and Wolves fans by now often do so with gallows humour and a good dose of realism (although Wolves recent good run might end up being a bad thing for the fans!). Spurs fans will not do that and nor did we. I'm sure that there were thousands and thousands of Spurs fans who would have loved to see us go down. Me? I would love to see Spurs go down....

  • Still no ‘Edit’ function: should have said Bankhall Street not Bramhall Lane in previous post. D’oh!...
    Si Cooper in What makes a house, a home?
  • I’m one who has never left before the final whistle and will often dawdle for 5-10 minutes explicitly to let the rush for the exits die down a bit, but I am a night owl and generally have had no great need to rush to get home at all early. I don’t know about 50% but there were quite a few empty places evident in the second half on Tuesday. People might have been on the concourses though, and when I left 10 to 15 minutes after the final whistle they were serving drinks to plenty who looked like they were in no rush to leave. The trip to the ground using the trains on the Northern Line was actually easier than getting to Goodison used to be. It’s a downhill trek from Sandhills station (grabbing some free toffees as exiting) and took me not much more than 10 minutes even with my dodgy knees. I was, however, forewarned that attempting to return by reversing my route could be a tortuous affair with large queues at Sandhills to be expected, and fortunately my brother had offered to ...
