If we'd have beaten Man City, we'd have still been 4 point shy of Arsenal and the Redshite would have won the league.

Sometimes you have to make a tough call... Not saying we threw it... Just happy we lost THAT game only. COYB.

Especially for the bit about the loan players maybe 'saying goodbye' at the end.

Enjoy your holiday Ken!

One disagreement mate.

Player of the match: yep Macca. Man/men/women of the match, those fantastic travelling blues. Thank you one and all from my Chicago perch for the pride and honour you have given me/us all the way through this season.

You are a true blue treasure!

Coleman on the other hand was distinctly off colour - but the lad's had a great season.

Finally, what on earth has happened to Naismith? In the centre of a lot of good things yesterday. May not have the best skills in the world but seems to have a great footballing brain. Gets in good positions, and tries to make the right passes.

Where Everton will have to improve next season, besides finding a couple of proven strikers, is out-and-out wingers, who can beat men and cross for someone to put the ball in the back of the net. Having Osman operating somewhere near the left-hand side yesterday, was a form of; if Martinez had someone else, he would have stuck him in there instead.

I am still not convinced that both Jags or Distin are the right combination, because both can be presurrised into making mistakes, that's if any opposition can be bothered to. It's OK moving the ball sideways all the time, to eventually make progress up the field, but when two men are not really comfortable with the ball, the ball then ends up with Howard, who does what Everton don't want to do anymore, and that is hoof it up the field.

It's funny how people harp on about it, but does no-one recall the time before windows when it was a free for all until mid-March? That was before wall-to-wall coverage in the meejah though... would it be so different to go back to that? The speculation never ends, and it seems fans love it and hate it in equal measure!

Thanks for a great season of reports Ken. The fact that so few who've watched it ever disagree with your assessment speaks volumes!

Most of your reports had McCarthy as MotM, so I assume you voted him for Player of the Season – I know I did.

So many wonderful things to cherish this season: the emergence of Barkley, Stones & Oviedo; a 15-goal striker after a long time (even though he will not be ours next season); a pugnacious, hard tackling, ball winning mid-fielder in McCarthy; the calmness and assurance of Barry in the middle; the unsung hero Tim Howard; the 2 best full backs in the league; a solid central defense; and above all – our new articulate, intelligent, tactically & strategically savvy Roberto. And, to top it all off, the RS did not win the league.. ha ha... always next year. ;-)

Enjoy the summer, fellow ToffeeWebbers. Looking forward to the new season already. Onwards & upwards...

A season with so much to be delighted with, in view of future promise. There is just a hint of 'it could have been so much better' due to losses and draws against teams we should have put to the sword. Still, we came out the right side of a few we were under the cosh in too.

Will the extra European games prove a drag to our league form next season? If not, I believe it really is going to be even better next term.

In Bobby We Believe. Onward Evertonians. Here's to a great summer to one and all before the action starts again for real in Mid August.

Go out and buy yer new pencils for the new season, Ken!

As usual a great and incisive report from you Ken, looking forward to next seasons versions, while, the World Cup apart, we Evertonians here in Ontario can fill in the void with MLS games from all over north America which is closng the gap between their national sports big time, with some really impressive teams coming up

In closing let me congratulate all associated with EVERTON on a season of excitement drama and future promise which has been richly deserved,which proved. ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH.

A question though: How the 'ell do all the pyros get in....???

A great season for Blue supporters with a record point haul. The 70-point barrier broken and much to look forward to!

But, thanks again. You do an excellent job of capturing the flavor of the matches.
