We are 3 games in to a season that ends in May.

In 93-94, we won our first 3 fixtures yet only survived on the last day by beating Wimbledon.

In 84-85 we lost 4-1 on the opening day to Tottenham followed by a 3-2 defeat to West Brom. We went on to win the league by a then record points tally.

My point is, it is way too early to judge. Good teams do concede too. But its where you are in May that matters, not late September

Brilliant that Everton fans have got us top of the music charts now too. 79p for the song and no doubt you'll listen to it anyway. It's always on my playlist on the way to every game and I think it's the best of the Everton songs anyway.

Everton fans are so starved of success, you can't blame us for getting carried away. There's a bit of lockdown / Covid fever thrown in there too, to make us all mad.

It's all good fun and great to see so many Blues enjoying themselves for the right reasons.

Boss song in glorious times, get your coat on and get moving (Pickford) cos we don't know the meaning of losing. Reckon we are on the march again.

Loving it. Long may it continue.

Keep it Number 1, Blues only £0.79 on iTunes!!!

Miley who??

Now that we've left Cyrus in the dust, time to roll out the Spanish and Portuguese editions to the South American market, sung by James and Allan of course. Shakira will never know what hit her.

Excellent. The clips are a great laugh. Thanks for posting them. The tune's no match for 'The Story of the Blues' but these are better words and the video's are way better.

Brilliant, a lot has happened in the last few weeks and months, and our almost under the radar South American connection has contributed to that I have no doubt.

Long may it continue we have been starved of success for far too long, hopefully this very catchy tune which we are all familiar with, will make a revival to match the football and the Trophy Cabinet too!

Another song I always associate with us is more generic by Thin Lizzy: "The Boys are Back in Town". I remember that being played on the coach several times when we ventured to Wembley (the old one) seemingly on a fairly regular basis in the '80s.

Long may it continue...

For me it has to be; "Bless 'em all, bless 'em all, the long & the short & the tall."

Was it on here that I got the monkeys singing to this song when we signed Allan, Doucouré and James??

I'm just enjoying it while it lasts, I wouldn't even mind if we're pushed down to third by Arsenal winning 5-0 tonight!

Shades of Merseybeat in "Spirit Of The Blues" With Billy Kinsley on vocals...

This is my absolute top favourite song at away games. The high-pitched "whooo"'s at various points throughout are just hair-raising.

There's some great dances to this team on GOT, wish the ground was open now, Goodison would rock itself silly to this music, brilliant!!

Makes you miss match days at the holy ground. God I miss Goodison.

Absolutely love this. The Maradona one with the fella coming in on the “oooooo” is priceless

This is what happens after we win 5 on the trot.

Imagine if we won a cup or (gulp) the league!!!

prefer 'Home and Dry' myself

Good fun but how can I get Zcars with sirens ringtone
On my I phone?

Phill @ 13, I could even endure a 6-0 to the Arse and followed by a Cup win on Thursday. :-)

I want a 0.0 draw keep both of them away from us

This is great getting this to number 1 but I hope things like this don't become a distraction to the players!

I'm sure Carlo is wise to stuff like this but there's 3 huge games coming up! 3 more wins and we really can be taken seriously!

I doubt it, Stephen. If anything, it may help a few of our players realise what a huge groundswell of support there is for the Club. We have, after all, been the sleepiest of sleeping giants for a very long time - a real hibernation!

In recent days I have read some posters on TW saying that having no live audience is helping us.

This phenomena and #1 chart success makes a mockery of such claims IMO. Blues are STARVING to have something to cheer about.

Since this season started and with every successive test passed in a variety of different playing styles and radically changed line ups in alternate games, plus the instant success of our four new recruits, I have felt how much better this could all be with fanatical Blues in attendance.

Yes, Goodison is a tough audience. But serve up the kind of football and performances, both individual and the team collective, as we have seen this season and they would be roaring their delight.

I genuinely fear the entire season may be played without attending supporters. That would be hugely disappointing, that the new players will not get to hear a rabid Goodison or our sell-out away support making themselves heard on enemy territory.

They would be amazed and lifted and more determined than ever to perform better and achieve more.

I repeat, a live match day audience cannot come soon enough for me, but I just cannot see that happening this side of Christmas, maybe not even before the season ends.

That would be to our detriment, not to our advantage.

I mentioned that there is an unusually large number of away wins this season - I haven't looked at the games played in lockdown during the summer but we have seen more than 50% away wins so far this season. Is that due to lack of crowds? Consequently, are we seeing a lack of home advantage or even the rise of home disadvantage? I don't think that is likely and it will even out as everyone gets used to the new systems of play. It is lovely to see certain arrogant teams getting a walloping at home though.

Goals and unpredictability are getting us through this difficult time, the big teams (with big squads) only usually start to really exert dominance over & after Xmas but until then long may we be up there.

It is indeed painful to watch us playing so well with no crowd - imagine the excitement of matchday right now if there were no COVID!

Thomas, I predicted a couple of weeks ago another much more telling factor IMO than the absence of crowds for surprising results:

The knock-on effect of the late finish to the delayed previous season, together with some teams playing deep into August in various cup competitions and the much-shortened pre-season for all.

The natural chronology of a regular football season has been thrown totally out of sync. Most teams will be playing near enough two games every week in this compacted season, assuming that isn't further compounded by yet another lengthy suspension of games.

Throw into the mix the desire to stage the postponed Euros, Olympic Games and South American Copa America next summer and it compounds things even more.

The most successful teams, those who played deep into August, are disadvantaged in that they had no pre-season, have to catch up on lost fixtures and that fatigue may well catch up with them more than others. This will be further compounded going into next season as the best teams have the best international players who will be called upon to play in the aforementioned summer tournaments.

The Man City-Leicester game was possible evidence of the above.

Taken altogether, there is IMO a genuine opportunity for there to be a Leicester-like upset in the title race and competition for those much-desired top 4 places.

Why can't Everton be the maverick club to take advantage of all this turmoil?

Jay(#26); Watching on TV and without a crowd it sometimes appears to lack some intensity and feels like a practice match. So long as we are or near top of the actual League.

I've always told my long suffering son (born 1994) that when Everton do something big again it will be mental on a scale that will shock the national media because they genuinely have forgotten who we are and how big we are. This is just a bit of fun, but what it shows is the positivity around the club again. Whatever happens, we are actually enjoying watching Everton again rather than the chore / ball & chain around our necks it had become.

Z-Cars is now number 4 and Here We Go 53.

There's now a campaign to get the top 3 in charts.

Alan, Billy isn't singing on it is he?

Now 1 and 2 in the charts. Here We Go is on its way up too.

Some Kopites are in a fury over this despite winning the Champions League and Premier League in 12 months. Their perspective is non-existent unlike their terror of anything hinting at an Everton revival.

Just told my red son-in-law this is getting more coverage than their trophy wins and he visibly winced.

Here we go now 24 in the charts and Forever Everton is 5 in the Album chart. Twitter is a great place at the moment. The Reds are losing their heads all day over it.

My RS family member has just told me that you can't manufacture support to which I replied that he should know as they have been doing it for decades. Wish I could say it in Norwegian but had to make do with a Cornish accent.

Red flags coming down all over the city, The blue tide is turning.

Were on the march with Carlo's army.

Andy Duff. That is brilliant, hillarious news!

All the more so that it so winds up the red side.

Here We Go storming up the charts to join #1 Spirit of the Blues and #2 The Z-Cars theme at the top:

iTunes UK Chart

Just bought all 3 on iTunes, anything to wind up the RS.

Stephen@36, here you go mate, du IKEA produsere stotte.

Flaming predictive text. Du Kan ikke produsere stotte

“Here we go” up to #8!

A tonic ahead of the West Ham game, and so we take, what we can, and enjoy the positives and hope the good start to this season, has generated.

Good vibes and good feelings and genuine hope.

The team is playing like it cares with pride and commitment and flair combined with grit.

Good days for a Evertonians.

What about “All Together Now” 1995, lets get them all in the top four, to go with getting into the top four at the end of the season

Stephen@36, only a Liverpudlian could say such a thing without even thinking about the irony! Brilliant that.

If only Napalm Death could cover it, or atl least The Damned.

Let's get "Forever Everton" up there and make it 5 out of 5 to go with the winning start!

Have a look at this:

I hope they don't get injured!

Thanks Brian, I'm practising my pronunciation.

ToffeeWeb never ceases to amaze me, and I say that in a very proud way, other member's knowledge, combined with most common languages and their translations, are always an eye-opener.

So happy I am a Blue, and although it may be temporary, I have never felt this good since the early eighties. Things under the tutelage of Carlo and Company are certainly showing dividends, long may it all continue!

No doubts, but I have said that so many times before, it does feel very different now!

Haha. this is so good. Been watching the videos with my 9 year old son laughing ourselves silly. The Maradona one and the Stevie Wonder/Blues Brothers one are classics😂

My son actually plays all these Everton songs in the car plus he loves the Big Match theme tune from the 70's, the new one they did for the 80's plus Ski Sunday, BBC cricket theme tune and many more!!

We now have 3 songs in the top 3 of the UK iTunes chart!

This is getting better and funnier with each passing hour.

#1 Spirit of the Blues
#2 Z Cars Theme
#3 Here We Go

and now rapidly moving up the charts at #16, All Together Now.

Just a word folks - BRILLIANT
