It' enough to make your heart go “whoa”…

I'm sure I speak for every Evertonian, when I say 40,000+ blue hugs are on their way to you, including my own. Take care and give us an update any time soon.

Best wishes to you from a fellow sufferer of all things Everton and the horrors of Long Covid. I got exactly same responses from my doctors: “It will ease and get better but we don't know when."

They don't know. But it has eased and is not better – let's just hope this also applies to Everton.

Best wishes and kind regards.

A great read and gives me sanity that I wasn't alone.

I refused; absolutely refused, to give up this season. I have no idea if that made a difference but I was absolutely not throwing the towel in.

See you at Baltimore?

Be good to catch up if you are.

Possibly one of my favourite US towns. I spent quite a bit of time there over the years. Some great music bars.

My daughter and her boyfriend are going with me although not to the football.

Where is Annapolis in relation to Baltimore and Minneapolis?

Edit: just googled it, about 30 miles from Baltimore.

Nothing like you of course but, as Everton supporters, yes we've been put through the ringer and we never want to go back there again. However, with very little in the way of funds (understanding and genuine, practical help in your case), there's no guarantee it won't continue into next season.

All we and you can do is to keep the faith and believe. You're both an inspiration and also a sad indictment on health support all over the world.

I really felt for you, on reading your article - not a pleasant time at all. I haven't had Covid (yet!) but it was bad enough without it.

So let's remind ourselves of the Everton Christmas song of a couple of years ago, "Bring Me Sunshine" – and hope it happens this coming Season. Evertonians deserve it. God Bless.

I hope Liz and Everton continue to keep getting better, and that last picture of the players by the tunnel, with Holgate holding his hands over his mouth, Godfrey looking like he's staring in disbelief, Jonjoe laughing because his boyhood club have made it by the skin of their teeth, Duncan Ferguson thoughtfully thinking that he knows the real reason why he fell in love with Everton, and Paul Clement possibly thinking he's never seen anything like this at any of his previous very big and successful clubs, is simply awe-inspiring.

Even though I'm on vacation, and have given myself an Everton ban for a week, my mind has drifted back to that Crystal Palace match quite a few times, with my thoughts then moving on to Everton winning something again, for all our wonderful young toffees, who's passion kept Liz going, and Everton in the Premier League, even if a Leeds fan told me today, he genuinely misses the Championship!

I've been very impressed by the friendly nature of most Americans though, so maybe If I'm lucky, we will get to have that dinner sometime in the future mate!

Stay safe. I'll hope to see you and your dad on Merseyside this fall.

I'm sure that article took as much out of you physically as it did emotionally. Here's hoping for as speedy and as full recovery as possible.

I'm knocking 60 and have had poor health for 25 years. I sympathize greatly. As a result, I visit my spiritual home less than I used to. I have plenty of days like the ones you've endured and admire your strength.

I managed to attend the Palace game and have never experienced such lows then highs. Wow, what a night! I was with my son which made it special.

Win the FA Cup or stay up in this fashion. I'll take the latter every day, but please never again. No embarrassment in celebrating maintaining our long unbroken history in the top league.

Thanks for this article, Lyndon.

I note it's a link so not a direct post so, if you're reading, Liz, I hope you're well and get to see Everton when they travel to The States this summer.

They may put us through every emotion thinkable, but they're worth it.

That should be on a poster somewhere if it isn't already.

Fabulous, emotional read that, Liz. I don't know what your day job is but, if you're not a journalist or something similar – you should be.

Hope to see you on ToffeeWeb more in the future as we climb back up the ladder.
