29/02/2024 - Back in September 2020, GrandOldTeam shared news of James Rodriguez signing for Everton on Twitter but amid the excitement, accidentally tagged James Rosales and it would literally change his life. Rosales, from Dallas, Texas, was inundated with notifications from Toffees at a time when he had been intrigued by the Premier League and was wondering which team to follow. So that was that, Everton was his new team. After GrandOldTeam’s erroneous tweet, Rosales purchased a royal blue shirt and has […]

17/02/2024 - In the ebb and flow of a fixture list the keen supporter is always looking for the opportunity to knock a few together, go on a run, get some momentum going. Couple with it a cup run, dream of Wembley, score a few famous nights, make it a season to remember, lads. Then there’s the non keen supporter who has to endure his team in a three season state of footballing purgatory while they lament every weekend with the existential […]

10/02/2024 - Two goals from just three shots on target saw Manchester City climb to top spot but, this was not the walk in the park many expected as Everton defended superbly throughout and were somewhat unfortunate to succumb to two late strikes from Haaland. Everton travelled to the Etihad Stadium with absolutely nobody other than dyed in the wool Evertonians expecting anything other than what absentee owner Farhad Moshiri would refer to as an ‘expected defeat’ against a City side and […]

27/01/2024 - The now sadly usual marked lack of quality in finishing cost Everton dearly as having come from behind they couldn’t find a winner and right at the death, from an added-on time corner, the ball wasn’t cleared and substitute Woodrow poked home the winner that sent Luton into the fifth round draw. The next step on the road to Wembley saw Luton Town with former Blues Ross Barkley and Andros Townsend arrive at the Grand Old Lady for this fourth […]

09/03/2024 - Evertons’ failure to convert chances into goals cost them dearly as poor challenges on Garnacho by both James Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey gifted the home side two first half penalties, converted by Fernandes and Rashford. As an Evertonian born and bred in Salford, for me there is no better place to record an away victory than Old Trafford however, particularly since the inception of the Premier League, it has been a very unhappy hunting ground for Blues of our persuasion.

02/03/2024 - Tomas Soucek struck a hammer (pardon the pun) blow to the hearts of Everton and their supporters with an injury time winner and Alvarez added an insurance third to complete another miserable home afternoon for Everton. Kurt Zouma had seen his header cancel out the opener from Beto who’d seen a first half penalty saved by Areola, before redeeming himself with a second half header that the Blues failed to capitalise upon. Having had the unjust ten-point deduction reduced to six […]

Only 4 Points Returned To Everton
26/02/2024 - Everton’s punishment for breaching Premier League financial rules has been reduced from 10 Expand
26/02/2024 - Everton’s punishment for breaching Premier League financial rules has been reduced from 10 points to six after an appeal. As a result, Sean Dyche’s side move up to 15th, five points clear of the relegation zone. English top-flight clubs are permitted to lose £105m over three years, and an independent commission found Everton’s losses to 2021-22 amounted to £124.5m. The punishment was the biggest sporting sanction in the competition’s history. A Premier League statement said: “Everton FC appealed the sanction […]

22/02/2024 - Sean Dyche spoke to the media on Thursday afternoon ahead of Saturday’s Premier League encounter at Brighton & Hove Albion, and responded to questions about Everton’s appeal against a 10-point penalty for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules, plus Everton’s potential 777 takeover. On whether there is any update: “We haven’t got a clue [on the appeal], or I certainly haven’t at the moment. The guidelines that you suggest are that [we will hear] some time by the end of […]

Everton 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur

03/02/2024 - Two sublime first half finishes by former Blues favourite Richarlison weren’t enough to secure three points as a dogged display by Everton saw them twice come from behind with the point saving goal from Jarrad Branthwaite coming deep into added-on time. Tuesday’s draw at Fulham coupled with Luton’s victory over Brighton saw Everton drop into the bottom three, so this lunchtime kick off against Spurs took on extra emphasis and pressure to get a positive result. Spurs are the only […]

17/01/2024 - A delightful free kick from Andre Gomes after he himself had been fouled settled this rather dour FA Cup replay in the Blues favour. Everton will now face Luton Town in the fourth round after they won at Bolton on Tuesday evening. Not a great game but, on the road to Wembley, its all about victories. A fourth round home tie against Luton Town awaited the winners of this third round FA Cup replay following the scoreless game at Selhurst […]

14/01/2024 - A poor finish from Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the first half when put through one-on-one with Martinez proved a costly miss as the sides fought out an at times ill-tempered encounter but, many will see a point as an acceptable return against a side at the other end of the table and pushing for Europe. Third placed Aston Villa were our first opposition at Goodison since the turn of the New Year and with the Blues in need of getting back […]

24/02/2024 - A late strike from Jarrad Branthwaite looked to have earned Everton a valuable three points on the road but after Gilmour was given a straight red for a bad challenge on Amadou Onana, the home side rallied and dominated the remaining time to earn a point with a Lewis Dunk header deep into added-on time. This corresponding fixture last season produced one of the biggest upsets in many a year as the Blues travelled to the Amex as sacrificial lambs […]

19/02/2024 - A late header from Amadou Onana from a Dwight McNeil corner rescued a point from a game that in all truth, Everton never really looked like winning. The point earned lifted the Blues over Luton on goal difference but, they will have to play a lot better in the remaining fixtures. Monday evenings clash with Crystal Palace was billed as a must-win game for both club: for Everton, a win would lift them ahead of Luton in the table and […]

30/01/2024 - The Blues disappointingly dropped into the relegation places as results elsewhere went against them and whilst Fulham had more of the chances, two great chances in added-on time fell to Beto and Ben Godfrey and they were unable to secure what would have been three priceless points. Some Blues have suggested that with elimination from the FA Cup last Saturday, this away game at Fulham marked the ‘real’ start of the season, a 17-game season for Everton to gain enough […]
