• All the usual - not liking 'Moyes The Cautious' with a qualifying 'But' due to his last 14mths - disclaimers. They say the table doesn't lie, but it can mislead - a case for believing we should be at 4 or 5pts better off not withstanding. Point are 'Only' what they pay out on. A true gauge of where you 'should be' is Goal Difference / GD. So I have a sneaky feeling ( again with the 4 or 5 Pts we 'Threw Away' not withstanding) - We're exactly where we should be. In the Middle with Zero GD * 'Middle' this season being a bit of a moveable feast of somewhere between 7th & 15th. Any talk of next seasons Thursday Cup, though technically achievable, is total Bollocks - great for an overnight away piss up...but squad depth? I'm not so sure If I remember correctly you have to play 17 game to win it Go all in on next seasons League Cup instead ...
  Derek Thomas in David Moyes discusses Everton’s European push and incredible away record
• Our Kieran has just had his head turned by a £35 million bid from Man Saudie, Everton have said come back with £40 million and we will talk. So looks like our Kieran won't be ours for much longer....
  Paul Kossoff in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall outlines England aims and discusses Tyrique George signing
• Tony@35 - for me it's not about liking or disliking Moyes (or any of our other managers for that matter), it's about the data. All managers have to play the hand they are dealt - that's why they get paid the big bucks. Factually and objectively Moyes has done a much better job with the same squad than Dyche over the same number of games last season. I also think we are going pretty well this season, too, but definitely need to be better at home. Is that the fault of the new stadium, though?? ...
  Peter Mitchell in David Moyes discusses Everton’s European push and incredible away record
• I have got say hat not one single blue I know said in august that if we don’t qualify for Europe it will be a complete failure of a season. In fact most of those we sit around me at BMD were hopeful but not hugely optimistic about a top half finish. To suggest that anything less than a top 6/7 (depending on cut off) is complete failure is absolute codswallop. It could be grief that now we have chance and the manager and team need to be brave enough to grasp it. But even this means we must give credit to the manager and team for giving us the chance. ...
  John Charles in David Moyes discusses Everton’s European push and incredible away record
• That’s a good point Peter@29, but one thing that changed in December 2024, was that after months of speculation Everton were finally bought and all the worries that had engulfed the whole club (owner, staff & fans) suddenly began to shift. It was too much for Dyche, he’d had enough working under those incredibly difficult circumstances, but luckily for Moyes, he did at least come into a much different club, than the one that had ended up finishing Dyche, and by David’s own admission, he was also left with a team that already knew how to defend. Every single thread seems to be about the pro’s and cons of the manager, so hopefully we can win again tomorrow night, and the people who like Moyes, can rub it into the faces of the people who don’t like Moyes. I’d definitely sooner have this rather than it being the other way around, and I don’t particularly like Moyes!!...
  Tony Abrahams in David Moyes discusses Everton’s European push and incredible away record
• It’s very clear that they don’t have the urgency that we have Mike, otherwise I’m sure a lot more would have been done in the January window. It’s the fact that nothing was done that worries me the most though because sometimes opportunities come around unexpectedly, and this is how I have viewed it since we won at Forest. Moyes wants Europe, but TSF, might not be bothered? What a scary thought....
