Now you have Villa and quite a few others impersonating it. It was bad enough when they spread that song to Celtic and Dortmund.Stay original Everton. It's one of the reasons I don't like "If yer Know yer History". Think Tottenham and Celtic. Plus, I just don't like it anyway. About as much as Mark Murphy dislikes Marching Down the Goodison Road. Rob Halligan 2 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:31:06 Arsenal 2-0 up at Ipswich. In about 75 minutes time we will be mathematically safe! 👍👍👍 John Keating 3 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:32:54 What a fantastic goal!Sakas take down, wee back heel pass, in the net!Pure class! Rob Halligan 4 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:33:47 Ipswich now down to ten men. Davies sent off. Paul Hewitt 5 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:34:06 Deffo safe now Rob Halligan 6 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:36:05 That was a nasty challenge by Davis on Saka. Right down the back of his Achilles. Curt Snyder 7 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:38:03 Yay Danny O'Neill 8 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:45:18 Rob, I think the Scouse vernacular is "shit house tackle".Deliberate, couldn't see the ball and scrapes him down the back of the achilles.Now Saka is getting booed every time he get's the ball and huge cheers if he misses a chance.Sometimes football supporters can be odd. I hope he scores again now. Paul Ferry 9 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:55:16 Jesus Hewey I just saw that the Pie-eaters murdered St. Bellends on Friday. I'm in shock. Jeff Spiers 10 Posted 20/04/2025 at 14:56:38 Danny, spot on. A shit house. Fuckin prick. He would'nt have lasted 5 minutes in our day. Ian Bennett 11 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:02:21 It's a deserved red, although some weeks they aren't given. Saka is a great player, but he gets a fair amount of protection off the refs. Steve Brown 12 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:09:43 Iwobi has 9 league goals this season.He would have combined well with Ndiaye. Colin Glassar 13 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:18:57 That was a Tommy Smith tackle on Saka. One of the dirtiest players ever to disgrace the game.Iwobi was shite for us, Steve. He never wanted to leave the smoke and it showed. Paul Ferry 14 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:25:20 Saka or boils-face Colin? Colin Glassar 15 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:34:32 The Kublai Khan lookalike, Paul. A horrible player and man Phil Roberts 16 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:35:32 Leaving aside Tyler Dibling who is probably going to go to sit in the reserves at a Sky darling club.. . which of the Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton players would you like to see in an Everton shirt next season and what is the max you think we should pay? Steve Brown 17 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:38:18 A cracking free kick from Sarabia. Wolves level on points with us. Danny O'Neill 18 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:38:36 I can't think of one Phil. But then I haven't paid too much attention to them. Colin Glassar 19 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:38:48 Ipswich relegated if Wolves win Phil Roberts 20 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:40:54 Yes! Get In.Sarabia puts Wolves 1-0 upEverton points to end of season based on last year = 8United = 8 (including beating Villa).We look good to finish above United. First time since?? 2014-2014? Colin Glassar 21 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:41:06 Phil, Delap, Gray (Ipswich) Walker-Peters (free), none from Leicester. Curt Snyder 22 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:41:56 0-1 wolves. Sorry Phil, I guess I had auto off. Martin Mason 23 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:42:55 I thought that in the end Iwobi was playing well for us and he's been a gem for Fulham. We got a good price so fair enough. Jim Bennings 24 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:47:38 The way the games are heading I wouldn't be too surprised to see us finishing 16th.I'm hopeful United and Spurs don't get some wins.I can see Wolves finishing ahead of us, and at the moment only West Ham can I think we will finish above.The lack of wins especially at home is costing us Robert Tressell 25 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:48:47 From the relegated clubs, I would happily take the likes of:El Khannoussi (Leicester)Justin (Leicester)Buonanotte (Leicester / loan Brighton)Sulemana (Saints)Ugochukwu (Saints / loan Chelsea)Harwood-Bellis (Saints)Delap (Ipswich)Enciso (Ipswich / loan Brighton)Philogene (Ipswich)Hutchison (Ipswich) Colin Glassar 26 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:50:52 I still don’t understand why so many people were vehemently opposed to Perreira becoming Everton manager. Portuguese managers from Mourinho, AVB, silva, NES etc… have done really well over the years. Jim Bennings 27 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:56:14 ColinMe neither.Yet everyone wanted Frank at that time. Phil Roberts 28 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:57:26 Afternoon Robert and a Happy Easter to you.That is some list! Quite a few of those are on loan and in the case of Philogene and Hutchinson bought this season but have they really done anything to change the fortunes of the 3 clubs this season? Delap, possibly, but the others? Are we replacing what we consider our not good enoughs with other not good enoughs? Colin Glassar 29 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:57:28 Added time at OT until the mancs equalise. Kunal Desai 30 Posted 20/04/2025 at 15:59:02 Safe with five games to spare. You'd have thought that in January. Colin Glassar 31 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:01:30 Robert, Philogene has turned us down twice this calendar year. He can enjoy life back in the championship Looks like 44 points this season. Who’d have thought? Jim Bennings 32 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:04:33 I wouldn't be getting many off the relegated clubs to be fair.You are just going like for like with what we have now.We've already got too many that have a ceiling of mid table at best playing for us, even the likes of McNeil, Garner two that many here rave about, I still think are very limited to be honest.We need to try and search outside the box Paul Hewitt 33 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:05:53 No more relegated players please. Ian Bennett 34 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:10:14 Tough watch for Ipswich. A deserved red card, but hard for teams to lay a glove on some of these sides when they keep possession like that.Epl getting more like La Liga every season, snooze fest for 30 minutes. Nick Page 35 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:18:04 Dirty Von Dyke in his blue boots. The absolute sausage. I’m glad he’s signed another season he’s fucking gone. Steve Brown 36 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:21:36 We’ve hired managers who have been relegated at clubs - Martinez, Silva, Allardyce, Benitez - and signed players from relegated clubs.It hasn’t served us well the last few years, so I hope we can be more progressive in our transfer approach this summer. Danny O'Neill 37 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:23:14 I don't recognise any of them Robert, except Delap. And that's only because I've heard the like of yourself and other talk talk about him. Never watched him or paid much attention those clubs this season.Well, not it needed it, but that's confirmed the. Technically Leicester can still catch Wolves on points, but have to better Wolves' -18 to their -45.It's been done since December that those 3 would be going down. Steve Brown 38 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:24:11 Nick, £800,000 a week for 2 players with 55 years between them.The RS have bottled it making that decision. Sam Hoare 39 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:32:12 Pereira doing a cracking job at Wolves so far. It’s almost like the fans who made the bedsheets demanding Lampard over him didn’t know what they were talking about! Though to be fair Lampard is doing better at Coventry than I expected.Lots of good players at the relegated teams but doubt they’ll come cheap unless there were relegation clauses. Buononotte would do a good job for us at RW I reckon, hard working, great touch and vision though maybe not quite as quick as we’d want. Ian Bennett 40 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:44:13 He's doing well sam, but he'll up against it again this summer with the financial constraints at wolves.Potter making heavy work of it at West Ham. Could be gone by Christmas if he can't turn it around. Mike Gaynes 41 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:49:20 Steve and Paul, didn't we sign a relegated player... name of Tarkowski?Seems to me he's worked out pretty well. And didn't we miss him a whole lot when he went off yesterday. Paul Hewitt 42 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:53:24 We went for him because he was free. No top team went for him. Brian Williams 43 Posted 20/04/2025 at 16:56:06 You didn't answer his question Paul. Paul Hewitt 44 Posted 20/04/2025 at 17:00:23 Only because Keane came on. If OBrien had gone inside instead we'd have got a point. Mark Murphy 45 Posted 20/04/2025 at 17:03:51 We should go all in for that Mbuemo fella at Brentford! UTFT Danny O'Neill 46 Posted 20/04/2025 at 17:19:08 This commentator is desperate for for them to score. He screams every time they get a half chance.He have been practising his one liners all night. Ian Bennett 47 Posted 20/04/2025 at 17:23:52 Peter Drury is a tit Danny Paul Hewitt 48 Posted 20/04/2025 at 17:24:47 Why you watching the rs?. Rather watch paint dry. Steve Brown 49 Posted 20/04/2025 at 17:32:20 Tarks suits our profile as a club battling at the lower end of the table. If we want to progress then we have to sign better quality players Rob Halligan 50 Posted 20/04/2025 at 17:33:09 Paul # 48…….you did on Friday!!
