What A Game

Lucky VAR didn’t rule it out for the Beto push but we deserve some luck

Well done Blues!!!

You’d have been hard pressed to say who was top of the league tonight. Great performance from everyone.

Get right fuckin' in!!!!!

My first derby on the Live Forum was amazing ! I knew this community was crazy but really I enjoyed my time tonight !

Total bellend.

Doucouré (can never spell it right)
Liverpool player
Liverpool manager

We seemed to be able to get behind them,just not finish and that's before VAR gets involved.

Is there a worse Referee than Oliver, sadly yes, plenty. But he was poor today

On our (and Moyes's) part a game of coulda, woulda, shoulda.

I'll take it though - oh yes indeedy.

That lot having more derby victories than us at Goodison would have been a grave injustice, aided as they have been over the years by gormless refereeing and the goat-headed football god.

What is it with them though and their unnerving ability to find the most unlikeable, ungracious ingrates to manage their malignant club? Condom Head is merely the latest in a long, long list and deserved a red card for simply having a shinier dome than a lubed up ‘Lou Dobin’s Good Time Weiner Pouch’. Prick.

Mcmnmnmn on about everyone wanting chaos, and a fitting end too the game, no, the red ass wholes caused that. We waned to celebrate although only a draw. They wanted to cause upset.

Gutted Ndiaye is injured, I'm writing him off for at least 6 months. It looked bad as soon as contact was made. Referee did not do enough to protect our players.

Harrison much better on the left. Not exactly a shock.. Dyche played him completely out of position for 18 months. He's no Ndiaye but can do a job for the remainder of the season.

Ok, a couple of red cards and Slot got shot down by Oliver with a red card. Ho!Ho! But it all added to the drama of the last ever derby game at Goodison.

Another game to add to the historic memories of our fantastic club and we will enter pastures new to fight for points in more derby games. Bring it on!

Thought for sure it would be chalked off but thank God it wasn't.

It felt like a victory and for RS it probably felt
like a loss. Wonderful.

While I’d do not disagree that Doucoure has not been up to standard this season, I have to say he was my man of the match with Branthwaite by a country mile tonight. Why oh why can he not perform like that week in and week out?? In fact him and Beto were a complete handful for the shite tonight and used their strength and muscle. Actually I thought Oliver had a good game tonight and did not blow up for every push or shove. Nobody cannot say we did not deserve a point, especially when the shites second goal was really against the run of play.

We battled and battled them and Pickford had little to do with Liverpool having more possession but doing little with it but scored with a header in the six yard box.

Doucoure missed a great chance heading wide with net glaring at him.Salah got a goal for Liverpool’s after more poor defending by Everton.

Liverpool looked like they had took the sting out of the Blues after that goal but we never gave up and Tarkowski’s rocket shot gave us a point although we had took bite our nails waiting for those VAR refs to decide it was a genuine goal, what the fxxk were they looking for!

Then the melee at the end with Davis and Doucoure getting sent off and Van Dijk trying to wind Doucoure up and Doucoure blowing him a kiss and smiling at him and his hands telling the Dutchman to carry on talking.

Evertonians dancing and singing all around the streets of Goodison at the end and Snotty Slot getting his red cause he couldn’t stop wingeing and moaning and his mouth got a him a three match ban, Davis might get a bit more than a one match ban when they look at the punch he threw at Doucoure.

Watched it with my dad and my son we ran around the room like mad men.

Was the least that the blues deserved to be fair. We created the better chances throughout.

Fitting the last goal at a Goodison derby was scored by an Evertonian at the Gwladys st end! Will be watching the replay all day.

It;s their cup final - boo hoo
Beto pushed for their second goal - boo hoo
Doucoure caused all the trouble - boo hoo
Curtin Jones was stopping him taunting our fans - boo hoo
The ref was no good - boo hoo.
We had 3 sent off - boo hoo Slot, boo hoo Jones boo hoo and some bloke who works with Slot boo hoo.

Now how many times have the RS players taunted us blues. Did we whinge, did our players whinge - nah.
How many iffy goals have the RS scored - it must be none surely, why else complain when others may or may not have done too. As I say a WANKER and total BELL END. Have a nice night St Virgil. Remember most of the pundits in the Netherlands think you're SHITE. Just ask a certain Mr Van Basten - now there is / was a player.

Whatever any one of us thinks about Moyes, and I'm not one of his biggest fans, no one should be in any doubt that he loves Everton.

Quite frankly, I was unhappy with the appointment but I will be happy to see Moysey lead us out at BMD in August.

COYFB

Doucoure only went over to the Norwegians to remind them of their flight times back home.
Jones is a dickhead

Had Doucoure - twice, and Harrison, in the second half not had brainstorms we would be mid table tonight.

Great result in the circumstances, regardless, VAR is the worst thing ever happened in footy

I thought Oliver helped them out a lot tonight. 7 fouls Diaz no card plus stamp on tarkowski, 5 fouls McAllister no card. He went for his card for Bradley and let him off, then he gets subbed off. Curtis Jones on Lindstrom was worse than the arsenal lad 2 weeks ago.
I shouldn't feel hard done to after all of these years of shitty arse decisions in derbies but I do.

Thought everyone played well. Beto and Doucoure gave their 2 CBS as much trouble as anyone this year. Gana, mykolenko and Branthwaite immense.Tarks great goal after his nightmare last weekend

I just hope Ndiaye isn't out too long, a knee injury apparently.

A win on Saturday could put us above spurs and united.

Coyb utft.

You clearly have not bothered to read what Lyndon has said about Evertonia's intentions and directions. He made it quite clear that there will be match reports - did you see the one on the cup game (top quality)? - but not instantaneously.

It will be like waiting for the morning paper before the WWW. I'm sure that you can do that, for the quality of the writing alone, compared to, hmmmm, the instantaneous match 'report' at the head of this thread.

Time for us to activate Agent Orange.

Hope N'diaye injury isn't too bad, after another example of unpunished thuggery ended his evening ! Felt the Alcaraz sub was far, far too late. On to Palace on Saturday, where I hope another good performance will seal our safety, provided we have enough fit players for the match. Great spirit shown in adversity !

But this shouldn’t be a time for hating — other than the Red Shite — so Up the Fucking Toffees. What a night!

Also, I do welcome posts from genuine non supporters, say of the opposition on the day, acknowledging, how we played and commenting accordingly. I do not approve of journos getting access for their info to make up one of their articles on another site or newspaper. Then again, it is a Forum where anyone in theory has access provided they register, even though it is most probably under an assumed name !

For those saying Bradley should have been sent off and the ref bottled it, do you not recall Gana Gueye perhaps being a bit lucky when he pulled or held back Salah- at least I think it was Salah. Already on a yellow, it would have been a soft 2nd yellow and then red, but nevertheless, yellows are sometimes given these days for the most ridiculous of challenges.

I thought Michael Oliver had a good game. Let the game flow when he could, it's a Merseyside Derby, full of passion and emotion.

One last word for Beto. Tough game for him but his one touch finish was extremely well taken. The free kick was a one of beauty. Bradley caught off guard more intent with grappling with Ndiaye, great delivery.

Whilst the equaliser was more spectacular and more memorable, Beto's goal was an important one and just as memorable in it's own unique way. Whatever happens with Beto, he'll always have his Derby goal.

Also, credit due to Myko. He kept Salah quiet again.

But, I only used to skim through the pre and post match reports by Mike and Lyndon as I watched the games and made my own judgement. The fact that the editorial team is new should be taken into account and, as Charles said, they are sourcing contributors who know the club.

What interests me is how the other posters view the game, manager, tactics and players. Therefore, TW does the job perfectly for those exchanges.

Therefore, put the reports up and the debates can begin.

It reminded me of that memorable day when we beat Crystal Palace to stay up under Lampwick's leadership ! Great scenes, and ones never to be forgotten. I doubt whether they will be ever replicated at BMD. The whole geography of our new venue, doesn't lend itself, as opposed to the narrow streets surrounding G P.

I might get Phil McNulty's piece framed.

These are precious times Derek and Duncan. I didn't want Moyes but after the final whistle and his such clear love for us I do now. I really do.

OK ZZZZZZZZ and the heat back on today, it's 3F outside right now.

A big blue march from town mate. Along the Dock Road.

I Have been catching up this morning and loving Douc telling St Virgil to do one. Penny Arcade Slot getting a red card because it didn't go their way.

lastly loved this clip of Myko celebrating at full time

LinkM

The tears and mental gymnastics are something to behold.

Couldnt sleep so it was a waste of time.

Oh how I wish I had stayed up and stuck with them

Idiot

Link

Mylolenko kept Salah quiet? I know it’s not acceptable to praise one of them but Jesus Salah hardly wasted a ball all night—found a teammate with most of his passes, played one two’s with a variety of Liverpool players throughout the game and scored a fuckin’ goal, criticise the bastards by all means but we’re Evertonians let’s be honest as well.

Went to bed happy last night and woke up happier this morning but again one comment ——“ Imagine Dyche with this “ Well we bullied and battered those bastards last season at Goodison and won two fuckin’ nil.

A head clash took 2 of our players out of the game in injury time, how do you explain the fact he let Liverpool attack until they lost possession to then blow the whistle.

Diaz made a foul nearly every time he got near the ball. Jumping head on into defenders having no intention of winning the ball, studs up on tarkowski, no cards.

McAllister multiple fouls no cards

Gana Gueye first foul was a blocked run resulted in a yellow

Lindstrom booked for remonstrating with the ref after another dreadful decision received a yellow card. Whilst every foul given for us was met with at least 1 Lpool player moaning at the ref and no cards shown.

After his Arsenal debacle and the following death threats I didn't expect him to give anything against them. He will wake up this morning with dogs abuse from all 4 corners of the planet claiming he is a blue after sending off slot and co.

I do have sympathy for refs, 22 cheats for 90 mins every week. My issue is the sub conscious bias shown to the big clubs. It's so obvious, look what happened to wolves last year when they moaned about the refs. They didn't get a decision for months.

I would rather we scrap the premier league refs and use uefa refs. Our small select group are far to familiar with the big boys.

Moyes seems to have got a happier tune out of this team very quickly and though we will undoubtedly miss Ndiaye (surely player of the season up to now) things would have to go badly, badly wrong to end up back in the relegation zone with effectively an eleven point buffer. It's even possible that we already have enough points and I would not be at all surprised to see 18th go down with 26 points like last season.

If anything we should be looking up with Spurs, Manchester United and Palace all within 3 points. I started this season hoping we might secure a finish around 12th and thanks to Moyes that now looks plausible, though that may depend on the severity of Ndiaye's injury.

A great night by all the team. Branthwaite was arguably MOTM but special mention to Beto who proved his harsher detractors wrong again and left nothing out there. He's scoring a goal every 100 minutes or so this season (small sample size) which has him matching Salah, Haaland and Isak. Not suggesting he's in that class of course but I think last night was the first time he has started 3 games in a row for Everton and any player will look better with consistent game time.

I am genuinely confused. I know a lot of these celebrations are totally inane, and quite often childish, not saying this one is either in particular.

Thanks for your contributions, Charlie, look forward to more and apologies for any somewhat pissy comments over the last couple of days from me.

I would just love it if they now implode, can't stand the barcodes but I hope they beat them, and another pantomime will begin.
We definitely deserved a point, and we would have won had Ndiaye not gone off, we are going to miss him.
UTFT

Speaking of Grand Old Lady's my wife accidentally phoned Danny O'Neil last night not long before kick off so I'm claiming some of the credit for the result given that we sent the "luck of the Irish" through the airways.

And I'm only now thinking why has Breige got Danny óg's number on her phone? Feck that... still buzzing.

Old ToffeeWeb headline 'Negative Moyes blows chance to win with 'extra defender' substitution. DCL doesn't score again'.

If you're still reading Michael, I'm only joking. I miss your passion, honestly.

Kopites are Gobshites……Every fucking single one of them!

It was our cup final, but Liverpool chose to rest eleven players last Sunday, just be ready with the answers for them.

I woke up at 3am, thinking about Peter Mills, because it was not like him to criticise and I started thinking about last night’s game.

(Not really a criticism, because I knew what Peter meant)

I only heard them singing one song, because they thankfully sit quite a bit away from me, but it was that tiresome one when they sing about wanting to go home.

On that note Charles my headline would have been: TARKOWSKI SENDS THE MASTERBATERS HOME TO HAVE A WET FUCKING DREAM! Hahahahaha!

I have a confession to make, I left just after Oliver, never stopped play for two head injuries, with Liverpool looking dangerous on the attack. I had parked my car, in a terrible place and didn’t want to be stuck in traffic in those little back streets outside Goodison.

I remember saying to the people around me as I left, “I’ll celebrate in the streets” fuck me id already forgot about it until I got by the Spellow pub, and heard an almighty roar.

It can’t be Everton, it’s fuckn got to be Everton, then all the car horns were blazing and people were literally dancing in the street. My mate who went with me started sending me videos of inside the stadium, and said I can’t believe we got off, but I said to him that it didn’t bother me because I’ve never in all my years come out of Goodison, and ended up going beserk, when I heard that beautiful noise, from our fantastic crowd💙.

I didn’t know you could jump that high, he said laughing, but that’s the power of Everton, because sometimes they can make you feel eighteen again, just like they did last night

Rob, those clips you sent are hilarious. The nasty men in blue didn't let us win and the officials are against us. Well, maybe they want to look at the statistics!!!

Brendan, happy to have sprinkled some magic Irish dust over Goodison last night, even though I couldn't be there.

Remember Joe Royle, he never lost to them as Everton manager, and their anger kept growing after every Merseyside Derby, because he knew how to wind the bastards up.

Make them angry because an angry person always makes a lot more mistakes!!

Jones losing it at the final whistle was brilliant - yes maybe slightly stupid of Doucoure to do that in front of the away fans but as mentioned previously he had obviously been taking stick and wanted to put it back to them. Also it's nothing more than plenty of the RS have done to our fans previously.
Van Djik showing just how holier than thou he wants to be portrayed - surprised he didn't bring up that 'horror tackle ' by Picks in his post match sermon.
I seriously hope this has fucked their confidence after the Plymouth game and had shown other teams that if you treat them like they deserve they can be rattled and the game taken to them.
A horrible bitter blue pill for the RS to swallow and I LOVE it!
COYB💙💙

lookk at this clip from Penny arcade Slot

I really hope this is AI

Link

Come on, of course it's AI.

He and his players delivered that game last night.

We're 10 points clear of relegation, players who looked like they give a f***, and a crowd that has some pride, and love, flowing through their veins.

Phew.

If that doesn't tell yo it's a fake, (not to meniton Slot's newfound "Oxford"Accent), nothing will.

Itsh, obvioushly not Shlot !

Liverpool are seven points clear at the top of the league but the only thing on their minds today is they can’t wait for the next derby.

Hopefully we can keep getting under their skin and it helps derail their season🤞

Slot could not be interviewed after the game due to his Red Card
But That is Slot and I suppose I should have highlighted more on the AI part. That is what scares me as people will swallow this up as real.

I normally stay away from you tube and I now have another reason to avoid the site

Yes I agree I came across as a dumb fuck but Derek I can ask my mate to coillect any teeth you like (joke)

Great pitch side angle film of the equaliser:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGAi8EUs0mm/?igsh=YzAyMDM1MGJkZA==

Beat Palace by 2 goals on Saturday night and we go 12th.

And a draw on Sunday or a United win by 2 goals or less will see us still 12th at the end of the weekend with both United and Spurs below us.

And then the following week we go to OT - a chance for Moyes to win at his old team and lay the can't win at a big club hoodoo.

Years and years ago, on the old 606 forum on BBC, I remember having a pop at him because I thought he was too "big club" centric, and asked who he supports. He's an Evertonian.

Typically, he's very professional (sometimes too professional, to the point where it feels he doesn't care for us), but nights like last night, you can see in the write-up, and sometimes his Twitter output, that he loves the club, and he "gets" us.

Thanks for that post. I thought I was going mad as it was exactly the same as Brighton but against those vermin I knew the VAR outcome.

I only seen the incident once so thought I misjudged it as no mention of it in the commentary or analysis at the end. It was one of those decisions like Van Dick a few years back that just mysteriously doesn't get discussed.

I am not one who usually complains about penalties but I thought it was blatant at the time.

On another note Van Dick what a class player but a classless individual. He should have been embarrassed by his performance rather than further humiliate himself publicly like that.

After dropping my mate off last night I turned on Radio Merseyside to hear the first Liverpudlian caller saying that Michael Oliver, should never be allowed to referee another Liverpool game.

Welcome to our world I thought, but the difference is I’ve been feeling this way about last night’s referee for a very, very long time.

Brian H, why spoil such a good post, with your last comment, unless you wasn’t lucky enough to attend the previous game against Liverpool at Goodison, last April, mate?

Slowly over the years a gulf has appeared between the fan bases and is widening every day

I am appalled by the absolute shite I’ve heard and read from our neighbours supporters both last night and today.

I met and also spoke with my RS mates who I have known since before we went to infants school. Real proper RS supporters and honestly they never even brought up the so called foul, never mentioned the after game handbags! The antics of their manager and players. The Doucoure “incitement”

We were brought up on real footy, real players.

Kopites are real 100% gobshites and now I have no time for any of them except my real mates who are real supporters of our neighbours, real local people.

Apart from my mates what a real shower of self indulgent shithouses

The reds spat their dummies out as usual when they don't win, they never let us down!
I just hope that Ndiayes injury is not too bad as he's made a difference to our attack.

We have some tough games coming up but on the other hand so have the teams below us.

On a different note, of topic, on BBC website, there's an announcement that 'Semi-automated offside technology to be used for first time in England'

To be used for first time in England during the fifth round of the FA Cup in March, but only in seven of the eight FA Cup matches with a possibility that it may also be implemented in the Premier League 'later this season'.

Surely, it should be in all 8 FA Cup ties or not at all - I understand that it may not be possible at some grounds, so don't implement it.

Also, if they want it in the PL, wait til next season.

I know Dyche is a mate of yours, but he had us playing the worst football I have seen in a long time. He always made out he was getting the best out of this group, well clearly Moyes is showing he wasn't. We hardly seen O,Brien under Dyche and his excuse was he hadnt got up to Premier league level, clearly again Moyes has proved him wrong.

I hated Dyche with a passion, his pre and post match interviews were not worth listening to, and unlike Moyes who obviously loves this club were to Dyche it was just a job. But hey don't take my word listen to what the players are saying about the difference between Dyche and Moyes. Also Moyes is doing it without Mangala, DCL and Broja and last night he lost our main attacking threat when Ndaiye went off in the first half.

Also to answer your question I was there against the other lot last year and was delighted as always with the win but that was inspite of Dyche not because of him.

Also last season he went 15 games without winning a game, luckiest man ever to get to manage this club and Moshiri should never have hired him..

It's all playing into Sky / RS hands by being so meek and accepting of it. I didn't want Mourinho as manager here but he would give us a lesson in creating a media storm.

The pressure that refs are now under when officiating RS matches is incredible.

To the new owners of Toffeweb - I'd have loved the headline to be "late justice for Blues after penalty denied"

To the new owners of Everton, work much much harder on media influence. It could add another 10 points per season at least.

He's the one who had saved up and flown over for December's postponed match.

Another great gesture from the club. We may not do certain things right as a club but feel sure there's a lot that goes unnoticed.

The best thing last night was the SKY SPORTS holier than though team were made to look what they are, and that was a bunch of spoiled brats.

I found your second to last paragraph a bit sad really Brian, but each to his own mate, and I for one was glad that Moshiri hired Dyche, after he got rid of Lampard, because I definitely felt he did a very good job in keeping us up, at a time when everyone was absolutely on their knees imo.

I don’t particularly like Moyes, (I don’t dislike him, and definitely think he’s a much better manager for his experiences since he left Everton) but you couldn’t fault the effort and commitment of every single Everton player last night.

With no real craft in our team, I was delighted with the way we had Liverpool totally rattled during the second half last night, so I believe Moyes deserves a lot of credit, for helping to unite everyone connected to Everton football club, since he came back and in particular last night👏

It’s what they do, they came to Goodison last night with their 30 years balloons, intent on taking the piss, and despite not playing well they nearly got away with it.

I never opened my first WhatsApp until after 1O’Clock, but I already knew that Liverpool heads had fell off because I understand everything about their self entitlement.

They will have woken up this morning wishing they were playing us again on Saturday, instead of realising they are actually seven points clear at the top.

That’s Liverpudlians for you, and it’s why I’ve never accepted being called a bitter blue, from the most self entitled and most bitter of fanbases, whenever something doesn’t go quite their way.

FUCK THEM!

Mind you some supporters still admire Kenwright.

Kevin I think you may be missing the point as to why Lyndon "transferred."

Tony#139

Tony you're spot on mate. They just can't bring themselves to enjoy where they are without putting us down, invading Everton stories online, and spending time and effort to create banners and flags that have nothing to do with their own achievements.

They're fucking despicable. I just hope that Arsenal overtake them and win the league. Highly unlikely I know but it's what that shower deserve.

UTFT !

Over those years I've made over two hundred and fifty visits, most of them in the fifties and sixties when I lived at home and had a Paddock season ticket for four years.

Last night, I was given a free ticket by my son's friend who lives in San Francisco, he had tickets for the original date, but after coming over the storm ruined his trip and he had to go back and he passed his ticket on to me.So, me and my son and grandson, journeyed up from Rutland and took our places in the Goodison Road Stand (row EE, seats 37,38 and 39)at about seven. Ironically it was the same stand, where I watched my first game, though at the other end of the ground.The game was exciting, feisty and had the wonderful dramatic endng. I loved it and was as excited and moved as I've ever been (Wembley 1966 may be the exception) at any Everton game over these last seventy years.

The excited seven year old, from a family of reds, who had a dad who was a merchant seaman( a red as were 90% of my relatives on both sides) but when he was home he went to the match at Anfield or Goodison. I went along with him, I think I had an allegiance to Liverpool, but my football was all about Stanley Matthews (I'd listened to the 1953 Cup Final on the wireless). In fact my first ever game was to see Matthews play at Anfield in December 1953, my family thought he'd retire before I'd see him. The game against Plymouth in February '54, made me an Evertonian, or rather the dashing Dave Hickson did, though if there'd been any logic to it my hero would have been John-Willie Parker who scored four that day to Hickson's two. But Hickson had charisma, he was instantly recognisable and he made me an Evertonian. Everton, of course won 8-4 and I've never yet seen another twelve goal game.

Last night Goodison was bubbling, it took some doing (I now need a stick) but I managed the walk from the carpark and then climbed the interminable steps to our seats. The game was worth it and at the end as I walked down those steps tears tripping me I said goodbye to the old lady and the wonderful memories she has given me.

I was sixteen in 62-3 and Alex Young remains my Everton hero, his grace and charisma are untouched. My dad (older readers think Tarleton and Roderick) took me to spend an afternoon with W.R. Dean, he wasn't too fond of his epiphet, and my dad told me not to mention it. I didn't but when the "Dublin Packet closed, he sat with us for two hours and was a lovely gentleman and he too loved Alex Young.

I hope my body lasts out so that I do get to Bramley Moore, we've bought our brick, it may not, but thank you for last night and thank you for the memories.

What they say has never really bothered me as I don’t respect them.

Moyes Everton certainly gives you more than a Dyche Everton that's for sure.

As the song says, we (I) don't care what the Red Shite say, so any bleating to the press falls on deaf hears in my house. They can complain all they like, it matters not because the game is over and we got a deserved draw in the most dramatic fashion.

It was a near perfect send-off for the Old Lady in her last derby, and I'm so glad it got rearranged, partly because it made sure it was a night game, and secondly because Dyche has gone now.

I've been pretty apathetic watching Everton under Dyche but last night, for the first time in a couple of years, I felt excited, engaged and up for it. Hell I even screamed at the TV for 90 minutes for the first time in years!

Great goal at the end, great scenes, and if it goes some way to derailing their season, then great. If not, I don't care and we now have a great memory of Goodison's last derby to keep forever along with a shared winning record which would have been unthinkable.

I had spent the evening surrounded by rs, I got back to my digs and wanted to celebrate with Evertonians. This site has been my go-to place for many years, and I wanted to read something less bland than the report and the relatively few comments that had been made. So my post was rather petulant and churlish.

I have always enjoyed Lyndon’s writing, so I suspect I will be turning to Evertonia (where I have posted a comment on my unusual derby evening).

Christine #131, I guess it's all in how you look at it. We all lose our parents. Families grow and evolve and change. I'm into my 40th year as an Everton supporter, and hope and believe I add a little something here from time to time, yet I've visited Merseyside three times and have no idea why the teams have different areas of the city. I never heard of the Football Pink, couldn't identify photos of the Trinity, and have barely a Wikipedia-deep awareness of the club/city's social history. What little I know, I didn't learn from Michael and Lyndon. I learned it from the people here, those who post histories and those who post personal memories and those who post local jokes l will never understand. My point is that we're TW, not the owners.

Our club has been gifted a new stadium by a schlub of an owner who wasn't remotely an Evertonian, and we will now move into a new era under an owner who likely never even heard of Everton while he was accumulating billions selling Toyotas in Alabama. Everything is about to change for the better thanks to people who couldn't sing a note of Spirit of the Blues. There's no reason TW can't thrive under such stewardship as well.

Anyway Peter, as you said, it was definitely the right side of the crossbar for once and although I’m not taking anything away from Tarkowski, (how could I?) his technique wasn’t a patch on the little fella’s, imo mate👍

We shall not be moved, is the real reason why Everton, will prosper again one day….Hopefully it’s just not in the very distant future

Mike 150, I hadn't thought about that angle. Moshiri and TFG aren't steeped in blue history but have and will hopefully shape us in the future to compete.

Lyndon and Michael have moved on. Only time will tell if this site can keep up the standards of the previous incumbents.

Thankfully Doucoure won't be there,but we still need to be much braver to bring back all three points!

Great post @126. I captures the divide perfectly. I would describe their behaviour and outpouring of being victimised (the irony) has been shameless and shameful. Only they don't have any shame. So it's been laughable, entertaining and infantile. Effectively crying because they weren't allowed to win!

Your subsequent post at 131 is, again on the money. I am sure there are a few on here who could help them, but that's only if they want it.

Ended up in seat in front of me when Tarkowski scored in the mayhem :-)

I thought the least we deserved was a draw, got stuck in again, and when you look at their squad, then see our two right backs Patterson and Coleman out, our rock in midfield Mangala out for rest of season, McNeil out injured, three of our strikers out injured and our most influential player Ndiaye going off in the first half, that was one hell of an effort from the players.

Also Garner and Iroegbunam not up to full speed yet with just returning from injuries.

We have been hampered with points deductions, having to sell Richarlison, Gordon and Onana, took on the supposed best team in the Country, and went toe to toe with them.

Better times ahead for sure, but it’s great being an Evertonian and watching all the whinging from the Red shites, because we dared to compete.

The upturn in form is unbelievable and stats

Dyche 19 games 3 wins, 1 point above relegation, goal difference-5

Moyes 5 games, 3 wins, 10 points above relegation, goal difference +5

Up the Toffees.

P.s bumped into John McFarlene Snr, he is still alive and kicking, and said to pass on his regards to fellow ToffeeWebbers.

That's a great story, that will imprinted on their memories for life. A family member has a season ticket, but when the original date got called off, in his wisdom, he decided to put his seat up on the resale platform (I think). When the new date came through, he couldn't get his seat back as he received £50 for it. If I would have known, I would have stopped him at the time.

Mike the dynamics of the city are interesting when it comes to football. Mixed families, mixed areas. I wouldn't say there are specific blue and red areas. There are certain areas where one outweighs the other. Everton's traditional stronghold has tended to be the north end. As you move out to the suburbs in the south of the city, you see more red. The council estates (projects in US speak) town up just before and after WW2, tend to be reflective of people moving out from central areas of the city, so are mixed. Where I am from falls into that last category, with probably a red majority, but I am very much from a mixed family. Others may have a view on it, but that's been my experience.

Tony, I've said it before. When we win another trophy, forget Liverpool, forget Newcastle, this city and the whole of English football won't know what's hit it.

Due to my obsession with even numbers, a 10th league title, a 6th FA Cup and a 2nd European trophy. Not much to ask!!

Oh, and please, please, please, can we just win that League Cup that has irritatingly alluded us?!! It bothers me!!

He blocked me on Twitter after I hounded him for saying in an interview that anything concerning Everton didn’t interest him. If anyone’s interested in picking up the flag….

Mike (150) out of interest what does schlub mean?

Rick (146) Loved that post, had me reliving those days all over again especially the Dave Hickson part—— what a player and what an Evertonian, and the Plymouth game part of a three game patch on the run when we scored twenty goals.

He wasn’t brilliant last night but he was better and more affective playing in his natural left sided role.

It’s not rocket science is it.

Any news on Ndiaye?

So you think it would be a good idea to have a figurehead, a passionate blue who understands the importance and values of the club, someone to compensate the void left by our deadly duo.

You know Christine I agree that we should keep the authenticity but it may also be a good idea to move with the times and have a fresh input and stance perhaps a female who eats sleeps and dreams Everton.

Any ideas CHRISTINE? Hmmm🤔

Tarkowski ghosts into that box like a prime Martin Peters!

Arse Slot carrying on like a spoilt teenager whos been told to clean his room. It was like that scene in V, when that alien eats the mouse and you know they are coming for the human race. With the whole world watching.

Every fan of other clubs who I've spoken to today has been laughing at their cry baby entitled reactions

Did you see the stats on Oliver's red cards 5 against Arsenal, six against us, 5 against Man City and one against Liverpool in the same time frame.

Also, can anyone tell me when was the last time 'obstruction' was awarded in a game. Last night we were trying to use Beto's speed and at least one time in the first half Konate ran in front of Beto and just stopped. This prevented Beto getting to the ball when no Liverpool played was in control of the ball.

But the usual ToffeeWeb mafia are, must be great being one of the mob.

You 2 are no better than the previous incumbents, pick and choose the safe options.

'It was a foul on Konate' - yes it was, terrible rugby league shove by Beto

'It was never a foul on Ndiaye' - you are right, he dived. Been watching videos of Suarez

'Oliver shouldn't ref us again' - yep, only Virgil Venereal Disease should only be allowed to ref your games

'It's not fair, we spent over 20 quid between us in the away end on number balloons in poundland' - defo. Your hilarity and rib-tickling humour is on a par with Tarby and Bishop. Our goal spoilt how funny you guys are.

Bit like our invisible new owners then - right!
Dan Friedkin has not set foot in Goodison since taking over - last ever derby at our place and our new owner not being not there doesn't fit well with me - should have been there in my opinion - TFG are Trump heads, its all about the money, just wait and see.

Immersing yourself in the Live Forum to acclimate yourself to the attitude of your average TW user is a bit like getting a helicopter to scoot you three quarters of the way up Everest and not going up gradually via base camp and all that - you might end up wondering how anyone survives. I know you are a Live Forum advocate but I only use it if I’ve only got a radio commentary, otherwise I find trying to keep up with the posts just distracts from actually taking in the game properly.

To me, we are all ToffeeWeb, INCLUDING the site admin.

Unravelling what has gone on at this club for 30 years or so may take a while longer than next week.

I'm just enjoying the moment right now and looking forward to Saturday.

Tell me an owner of a business that isn't in it or doesn't invest to make money??

Christine, I don't understand why you can't represent the thoughts of Evertonians. You already do. And in a very articulate and informed way. I always enjoy reading what you have to say.

I would avoid shoehorning it into a L4/L5 requirement though.

I have my roots in L24 and L19. Other regulars on the Wirral, wider Liverpool City Region and Merseyside as well as other parts of the UK and Ireland.

And then there are the global contributors and supporters. Lyndon himself is US west coast based.

I matters not if you grew up on Scotland Road or near Country Road. We're all Evertonians.

Get writing. we need supporters like you.

Gerry #165, that's a brilliant article, thanks for posting. I thought I was the only one who noticed "Corner Flag Guy" -- my new hero.

Frank #184, I haven't seen it in years in a Prem game, and although I'm still an active referee I probably don't call it once a year myself.

Conor #175, well done, I'll add my oar for Christine as well.

Dave #171, schlub is Yiddish for a clumsy, talentless person, a half-wit. Similar to schlemiel, schnook and schlimazel (you may be noticing a theme here).

Danny #190, amen. I hope the Friedkins make a fecking fortune off their investment in Everton.

I think if Dan Friedkin had been in the ground last night, this would have set positive vibes for all concerned, an opportunity missed to show he cares about the club and Evertonians.
When TFG released their short statement on the purchase of the club, I said at the time actions will speak louder than words, last night was an example of this in my opinion.

Personally, I just want Everton to be run professionally. As a football club and as a business. For too long, we've stood still and fallen behind the curve.

Leave the emotional stuff to us on match day. Let them run the business. Many called for change. We're going to get it, hopefully for the better.

Go through any of the so called big clubs and tell me owners that are supporters? Possibly Levy at Tottenham, but he's massively unpopular.

I'd rather walk alone, than be in with that shower of whinging poor losers...and they didn't even technically lose ffs.

But we most emphatically won - they know it and that's what gets them.

Rent Free, we live rent free in their heads.

Slot lost all credibility forever by throwing his arms out in ‘amazed disappointment’ when Michael Oliver awarded us a free kick for Diaz blatantly not trying to spot where the ball was and just charging into Tarky instead.

Long time gripe. How can ex-player pundits not realise that it is exactly as much a free kick if the player who plays the ball then has to immediately take to the air simply to avoid a very painful blow to the leg(s). For the free kick that led to our first goal, Ndiaye only ended up sprawled on the turf because of the desperate evasive action he took to avoid a painful (possibly damaging) blow to his shin / ankle from MacAllister’s extended right foot. Is he seriously expected just to accept the hit to deserve the free kick. It simply is not the same as collapsing to the ground when there was never ever going to be contact. It’s embarrassing that they can’t spot the very obvious difference.

There is no insistence there has to be contact in the rules so why say it’s not a free kick just because there’s no contact?

Being a gobshite must just be a prerequisite for the job.

“Here’s your initialled trackie. And here’s your mantle of absolute arrogance, rendered from the souls of those eternally punished for the sin of pride by the high lord Beelzebub himself.”

Thank you. Well done Everton for showing Liverpool can be the worst of the two sides and should have lost. Their management team lost the plot because we stuck it up them. Well done Michael Oliver, too (but we should have had a penalty??)

Fast Forward to Konate's deliberate handball, slow motion wasn't needed to see that the ball was contacted by his hand. It is these discrepancies and inconsistency of refereeing and VAR that is so unfair and can dictate the difference between a win and a draw, or a draw and a loss if given, to the opposition.

Worth a look if the link function works. Otherwise copy and paste:

https://youtu.be/cguXMkR3LQU?si=J7gHWDhkUR3IhT6P

I’ll agree Mr.Moshiri wasn’t very clever leaving that man in charge of the club after he bought it off him.

TFG like many other owners in the prem are using the clubs as cash cows and status symbols. Lots of the owners never set foot in the country never mind the grounds.

We have to hope they bring in professionals who want the club to be the best on and off the pitch.

We don't want the likes of local boy Jim Radcliff laying off half of the staff and putting ticket prices up whilst players are on £300k a week.

8 injuries to a weak squad.

Charles and fellow writers, please try and get any relevant threads up in time for members to comment, add and respond etc ? We are mostly tolerant normally, but also very passionate about our Everton.

DCL, McNeil, Broja, Chermiti, Patterson, Seamus etc… When will it all end?

Last season at Anfield, Pawson said no penalty with regards the ball hitting Michael Keane’ upper arm, but they surrounded the referee and it wasn’t long before VAR made him look at it again.

It’s all about pressure, and I’m convinced the only reason N’Diaye got booked against Brighton, was because the referee didn’t really want to give the penalty but, after being forced to look at it again on the screen, he had no option, because accidental doesn’t seem to come into it anymore?

I’d have took the penalty the other night, (because of who our opponents where) but that’s wrong really because if I’m being honest I don’t think the defender handled the ball intentionally and I’d like to see the law changed.

Getting punished for something you haven’t done intentionally just doesn’t sit right with me, unless it’s handball on the line that prevents a goal, like Alan Hansel’s, all those years ago.

Above anything I want to see consistency, but the way things currently stand I believe that this is impossible?

We beat them at Anfield under Carlo and some creditable results have arrived thereafter including stopping their title challenge at Goodison.

Most neutrals say we outplayed them, it was no fluke we deserved at least a draw. And I'm not sanctimonious enough to pretend Doucouré giving it to their mob and our lads being first into the scrap and the shite losing the plot was anything less than a joy to behold.

No, I get it now. No matter how many points are deducted, how empty our coffers or how limited the team - we just don't give a fuck - we're not scared anymore.

Welcome home Everton.

Anger is a terrible emotion that leads to a lot of mistakes, especially if it’s true that your enemy is no longer scared and actually doesn’t give a fuck about you or your feelings.

I sincerely hope you’re right Barry, and I’m going to listen to Dylan singing come gather round people, because that is such a great thought, mate🤞

Semi-Automated VAR

I have no illusions they are a much better outfit player for player but our club has seemingly accepted it on bended knee for years. The notion of getting stuck in and pulling it back in injury time has been their script not ours since Adam was a lad, but we did it.

Hopefully it's the shape of things to come leading to BMD and if not, well, I'll just savour the moment.

He was trying to play down the emotion, saying he got it wrong, praised Moyes etc. Completely contrived of course, but he's undoubtedly got an eye on the next Derby.

I want them to stay angry and frustrated.

Barry @217. I'm taking that sentiment with me tomorrow!!!

Eric @219, I've no idea how that will work. Goal line technology has done. If football hadn't royally fecked up VAR, it could have worked.

I too think the rules need revising. Offside winds me up the most. Why should someone be offside because of their big toe??

Also going down after any minimal contact should also be punished. So many players, when they run out of ideas/room just throw themselves to the ground to get a free kick.

We rattled them at Goodison Park. We can rattle them at Anfield.

Until the media are taken out of Liverpools’ hands it will remain the same but they will never be respected, club and fans, by the majority of football supporters.

You lost your heads at Goodison Park

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckgx77jyzkqo

Anybody shed any light on what the likely ramifications are for our great football club (and that shower of shite)?

This is embarrassing and amateurish.

'The clubs have been charged with failing to ensure players "did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way" after the final whistle.'

Ian, it’s tortuous but it works; ensuring they behaved in an improper way would be the bad thing to do.

Lets make BMD even more intimidating for them when they come next season. I'd welcome them onto the pitch with a roaring rendition of this.

You better paint your face up with your favorite disguise.

With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes.

with your empty smile and your hungry heart.

Feel the bile rising from your guilty past.

With your nerves in tatters as the cockleshell shatters.

And the hammers batter down your door.

YOU BETTER RUN !!!

Slott Fergie mind games, glad he got his red card, all sweet and jovial that shower but when the shoe is on the other foot, spit their dummies out and cannot stand a team for daring to stand up against them, the vile and bitterness and self righteous obnoxious shower the lot of them.

Oliver was awful last night, for both teams, but somehow those deluded Redshites can only see one team being the victims of a poor ref.

The very ref who has awarded Liverpool 17 penalties in his time of officiating matches with them, and out of all those games only ever sent off one player for them, for 2 yellow cards, before last nights game, no other team has received more penalties from him than them.

But the fume from them is laughable, still going on two Days later.

They remind me of the kid who takes his ball home, because he does not get his way.

Biggest, mardi arses, whinging, shithouses, loved by the media, despised by the rest of the normal match going neutral fans.

Good on Doucoure for giving it to them, and then telling Virgil to wind his neck in and be quiet.

Thanks for that.

On a different note the game shows if we do something of note we get publicity - every other thread on social media is about us most respecting the fans, Goodison and team

We just need to do "something" more often.

It looks like we'll be safe this season so no reason to rush him back. You have to love a player like him who demands the ball and is willing attack the opposition like he did whilst on the pitch on Wednesday.

I believe most will know the tune.

When the ball hits the net,
When there's not much time left,
That's Tarkowski !

"When you sit in Row Z and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora..."

The difficulty is that we don't meet the Shite in the final game at Goodison very often and snatch a dramatic equaliser in added, added on time.

Don't know how we replicate that and I don't really care about social media hits cos it only lasts for 48hrs.

Moving up the league, playing better football...now that's what I call "something of note"

100% aerial duels won

100% tackles won

60 total touches

16 clearances

7/11 long passes

10 passes into the final third

2 shots blocked

1 assist

0 x dribbled past

A top performance.

Curtis Jones caused all the trouble because he couldn't take us drawing with them. God knows what would have happened if we had deservedly won.

On to Palace and let the rest of the country take the p*ss out of them. COYBs.

What a way to end the final Goodison derby, unbelievable emotion. I am still as high as a kite and can’t wait for the game tomorrow nor can I wait for the Analfield Derby, bring it on.

I wasn’t sure at all about Moysie’s return but after his reaction to the game on Wednesday I am completely sold. He is one us, to me that is 100% obvious.

Let’s kick on and remind the football world what this, the greatest club of them all, is all about. A lot of neutrals have voiced their delight at the late equaliser, we need to make the most of it.

Wow! Does it feel so good to be a blue and see those moaning red gobshite twats have a meltdown.

Come on you blues, now we show them all who we really are! U T F T

The whole point of this site is to put articles or pre- and post match post up and in good time so we can add our comments. They can't hold a candle to Lyndon or Michael, and if they ban me, fair enough, but they can Fuck Right Off !

Now we have people for whom this is actually their job. And both the standard and frequency has dropped.

To me, this site has gone already. It's a shame but things go on.

I want to give a shout for Mykolenko who got the ball into the mixer from a very difficult position and Tim Iroegbunam for his brilliant assist.

Last but not least - those young teenage fans of ours - they are made of the blue stuff. I am very proud of them. The future is in safe hands, the future is looking blue.

Marching down from Goodison Park
Down to the Royal Blue Mersey
Altogether we will fight, fight, fight!,
For the boys in the Royal Blue jersey!

Up the Blues !!!

In just a few hours, the coaches full of supporters will be leaving Merseyside and other areas.

This forum was the place to goto for pre-match discussion and exchange of views.

Not good. The site has not been touched since the derby apart from the input from us.

Totally freaking amazing.

Just as an aside, I remember a considerable amount of derision here when Charlie Adam was hired as set piece coach.

Wouldn't it be funny if he was the designer of the first goal? It certainly looked well-practiced.

It’s a day late and thread behind.

Question to Charles and Anjishnu. Where are you based?

What the fuck has happened to ToffeeWeb?

So far Lyndon, you're wrong, you have not left OUR ToffeeWeb in good hands.

Let's wait and see.

Did Lyndon 'sit down' with it seems this mix of India and La Rochelle to give them a ToffeeWeb tutorial for those who do not support Everton?

Us ToffeeWeb patrons have been/are being treated disgracefully. We are, it seems, a last if anything at all concern.

Words are dead easy.

Why is the main photo of them and not Tarkowski?

Assuming you actually want this site to be a winner, you might want to actually bother with something beyond anodyne, soulless match reports and the kind of non-engagement that you are so far showing.

I hope the money you earned that you deserved was decent LL but UNFORGIVEABLY you passed this beloved Everton site to non-Evertonians who have no idea of us or this site.

ToffeeWeb has become one thread - What A Game - with, I assume, a 40 post limit where we post now.

Fucking shameful to new and old editors and who knows who the fuck the 'owners' have ever been.

Paul ferry and Various, Don't think we are getting a pre match thread are we.

Wonder if the new guys only work Mon to Fri 9-5.

They aren't exactly overworked with the one match report. Such a shame.

ToffeeWeb is stagnating now with nothing new, and some of the old pieces have toadstools growing on them.

Note to new owners. I presume you want this site to be successful? Since you took over the site, the number of posts have been reducing on a daily basis and no doubt, the number of visitors to the site likewise. If you want any return on your investment you need to up your game. People are already leaving this site in their droves.

No proper match reports, no pre-match threads, and what's with the awful pictures being used; things like screenshots, or those terrible meme-style ones? Are we being run by teenagers now?

I might just move over to Grand Old Team or something - anyone know if it's any good? I've never used it but TW is terrible now.

I've had enough of your no news website. Shame really as you took over a thriving and popular site which was the "go to" site for Evertonians.

wouldn't mind but India and France are ahead of us on the clock.They should be able to get something on the site

Get up to speed or this site will be dead in weeks. No Thread on todays game, I said they would have big shoes to fill and as I suggested at the time they should have offered MK a job.

I think without Ndaiye we will have little craft unless Charley is played and might fit in until Ndaiye returns,we still have a pretty good defence so we will make it hard for Palace to score and we are still capable of providing a couple of chances so let’s come away with at least a point.

I just quickly went over to Evertonia to look what people were posting regarding todays game as you say no post on there either.

I appreciate, there may well be a change of direction, however the lack of content and the sparsity of communication is deafening.

There is no reason that non-Evertonians can't run an Everton website. Our present owners are US based and not Evertonians.

Seriously, we don't want to see a forum that has brought so many people together.

I do not wish to be patronising, but if you are struggling, please reach out. There of contributors on here, who are good with the pen (or keyboard), extremely knowledgeable about Everton, understand Evertonians and who, with editorial rights, could assist. I'm not talking every single poster, that will obviously continue, just one or two volunteers.

It would be a shame to lose this. I think most aren't resistant to change, but right now, you are losing some valuable supporters of this site.

Time's runnin' out the door you're runnin' in, nothing ever lasts forever...

Has anyone tried posting their own pre-match article?

Never read it myself to be honest, just a load of people trying to guess what players the manager would pick, only for him to pick who HE wanted and not the fans.

I only had 30 minutes to write it so it's pretty crap but hopefully they can put it up if they don't do one of their own.

At least it will hopefully help with the frustration of ToffeeWebers that they have some sort of match day thread

Get over it and stop being such a fanny fgs.

Let's hope today the belief a d spirit of Wednesday night and the Brighton game, can see E erton get at least a point.

Selhurst Park is a ground Everton have done well at, over the years.
Hopefully Beto will wear the same boots and have the same guile, and be the difference today, in attack.

UTFTs!

The headline from Moyes’ pre-match press conference was confirmation that liman Ndiaye injury is serious.

knee ligament damage probably out for a number of weeks.

David Moyes expects to have just 13 senior outfield players to choose from for the Crystal Palace game

but it will be without several key stars as injuries continue.

While Ndiaye has joined a long list of attacking absentees, there had been hope that the squad would receive reinforcements at the back.

Moyes said both Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson, whose outlook was better than some of their injured team mates they, are unlikely to be available for the Palace game. Coleman remains out with a calf issue and Patterson is dealing with a hamstring problem.

While the pair are close to recovering, the question for Moyes is whether he will see any of his other injured stars return before the international break in March.

Dwight McNeil (knee), Armando Broja (ankle), Youssef Chermiti (thigh) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) are all dealing with long-term problems while Oriel Mangala’s season ended with the the anterior cruciate ligament damage suffered in the win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Any team in the premier League top or bottom would take a draw and a point, and I expect Moyes to tell his team the same then go again for the Man utd game at Goodison park.

Everton possible starting lineup:

Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Lindstrom, Gueye, Garner, Alcaraz, Harrison; Beto

My middle name is Thomas - after my Dad.

So you can appreciate how much I enjoyed that Arsenal goal !!!

😆😆😆

The PL isn’t over yet … and we can have out say in it.

Where’s the post-Derby write-up, addressing the red cards, potential actions the FA will take etc?

Is this actually an Everton FC site?!

P.S….i reckon that’s how many posts will be posted on this thread before it finally closes.!😂😂😂

For the Michael Thomas goal, I was on holiday in the ROI. In the b+b, they had a sedate parlour / TV room. When that goal went in, me and my Dad went mad.

And these two unrelated elderly American tourists - who did not have a clue what was going on - joined in.

Your Brian Labone story reminds me of 85-86 when we beat The RS 2-0 at their place.

I just happened to run into Frank Worthington outside Goodison that day. He was on his way to the match.

Got his autograph and he asked me what the score would be.

I said 2-0 to us. (but didn’t have a tenner on it sadly!)

Didn’t Brian Labone used to own a race horse called “Goodison”?

Beats me, it makes no sense whichever way you look at it.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

Shame we aren't getting a bit more feedback from the new custodians, and I think I can include TFG in that.

Frank Worthington a very good player, a maverick who did his own thing, came to Liverpool FC to sign for them but failed the medical, he said later he failed the medical because his blood pressure was sky high with the excitement of signing for them! Glad he never because of his ability.

then for the ending it says “ The closing minutes were chaotic, with heated exchanges between players and a few red cards handed out by referee Mark Oliver.”… what the fuck is that except suppressing anyone’s negative or charged feelings?! No mention of what actually happened in the fracas?… no mention of Arnie Slut’s I’ll temper toward the ref and how he was sent off!!!! Obviously because the PL (worlds biggest sports league) and thus the internet is biased towards the shite and if AI wrote an article the algorithm would lend itself to not painting the shite in a bad light… Bollocks to it all. They are dumbing us down…. Not mentioning how Douc runs over to their fans and gives it large is classic woke AI suppressing anyone’s negative bad feelings and hiding anything that might ruffle feathers. Oh god forbid anybody’s feelings gets hurt… It’s just very Vanilla.
