• John (86) The Kop were more frightened of Rooney coming on than Wayne who was relishing the chance to get on, but Moyes didn’t trust the kid enough to give him the full game, didn’t trust this wonder boy while we fans wanted him on from the start, constantly singing “ Rooney’s coming to get you” to the Red fans. Henchoz (?) stopped Wayne from whipping off his jersey with” Kopites are Gobshites “ written on his T shirt underneath by getting his knee to Rooney’s sot and deflecting it onto the bar and over. Let’s see how brave Moyes is on Sunday....
  Dave Abrahams in Blues come back twice to claim a point and keep Europe in sight
• Alan #67. Tell me about any game where the Referee doesn’t make mistakes, but overall he let the game flow, where there where other incidents he could have stopped the game for foul play, but he didn’t and for me that made the game more enjoyable....

• I recall a 16 or 17 year old Wayne Rooney being sent out to warm up off the bench at anfield. Instead of turning left and warming up in front of the Everton fans in the anfield road he turned right and sprinted down to the kop for his warm up. He didn't half look worried at the prospect of playing a derby game. ...
  John Collins in Blues come back twice to claim a point and keep Europe in sight
• Didn’t know where else to put this but a shocking stat from todays Times: “Igor Thiago’s double against Everton means that three times as many Brentford players have reached 20 goals in a top-flight campaign in the past four seasons as Everton players have done over the past 40 seasons. Thiago joins Bryan Mbeumo (last season) and Ivan Toney (2022-23); Romelu Lukaku (2016-17) is the only Everton case since Gary Lineker in 1985-86.” A perennial problem it seems……...

• Dave A, there was also a lack of energy from their supporters. Contrast the noise of our fanatical away fans, or the way we made Goodison a cauldron before the big home wins such as Palace and Bournemouth. Also to Ian's point, like or dislike him, Dyche would never had set up like that for a critical away game when battling relegation. They need to wake up sharpish....
  Steve Brown in Premier League — Matchweek 32
• No team has destroyed us more than Liverpool, over the years Brian, but this has never broke me it has just made me more and more determined to see the tables turn one day, similar to what has happened down the M62, in Manchester.I can understand why supporters don’t like them because they are totally nerve-racking, but this should never be the case for the manager and the players, imo mate.Nerves are natural but, It baffles me to understand how any player or manager wouldn’t relish this type of game, simply because it should be what football has always been about.Big games, yes you can’t play enough big games ...
