"The Everton haters" , surely everyone wants them to go down? I still can't see it myself despite the defeat at Burnley

You'd have thought the new owners would be aware of the scale of changes needed, hopefully manager change first so the replacement gets a say on dealings Will miss Ralph in a way but enough now

That's a bit of good news today then, still a tough run in for u18s (play Chelsea twice I think) , let's win the league and get some silverware for the cabinet

He's got to go. Dreadful stuff on another appalling run, I like the bloke but he's done

If I'd gone to the game today would be back in the pub by now

Ralph out

Season well and truly over, 4th straight home defeat, think it might be time to try an alternative to Ralph to be honest.

Goodison crowd seem up for it, think I heard them say Everton haven't lost any of their last 34 home games when they have led at half time, random stat, I'd take draw now can't see United scoring 2

I think labelling anyone who questions the narrative as a conspiracy theorist has become a problem. It became a method of silencing people and shutting down debate during covid, lockdowns have been shown to be a terrible mistake that will have long term consequences, people who opposed them like Le Tiss were labelled conspiracy theorists at the time

Tella runs around a lot and looks lively but I've yet to see anything to convince me he's a goal scorer ,more of an impact sub in my opinion

Got to be due another one surely

Redmond and Walcott are both out of favour at the moment, can see them both leaving in the summer. When did we last win at home to Chelsea?

It's odd isn't it, you could save a lot on your ticket to move to £399 area but then the kids would pay loads more. Fair play to the club increasing supply of £399 though, that's a great price probably cheaper than what we paid 20 years ago

Pickford won't go to Newcastle

100% what I was thinking, if Watford could beat Leeds at the weekend that would be good as well, sets it up for an interesting last few weeks bound to be some twists

I saw the features on Ralph's career and Rickie Lambert earlier in the week that were excellent, well researched and put together

I think tonight will be a big decider in how things go, if Everton win at Burnley then it's virtually all over anyway. BUT if Everton do need home wins in the last week v Brentford and possibly Palace then I back them to get them with the Goodison crowd right up for it.

At least they'll get to take part in their favourite Papa John's Trophy still, they might get lucky and get our u21s in the draw. Going to be some big sides still in league one next year with the likes of Derby, Ipswich, Sunderland, Bolton, Sheffield Wednesday, all teams with bigger crowds / better grounds than them, they're not even a big team for the third tier!

I did, they've looked particularly impressive against 'top' sides, but they play Everton away on Thursday in the last week of the season, nothing at stake potentially a few days after the cup final, Brentford will be safe by then as well nothing to play for

I'm convinced that was made up (kicking ball out for a throw wasn't it?) As I don't think such markets were offered then, a case of trying to boost book sales with controversy and great example why you shouldn't believe everything you read.

Always good to get your information from a wide variety of media sources , same when studying history

I agree, reckon Everton will stay up. Goodison will help them, they'll win at home to Brentford and Palace end of season , could get points at home to Man Utd and Leicester as well

I don't know what his views are but if he's saying he doesn't believe what's reported its more a reflection of his opinion of how manipulative and untrustworthy certain media outlets / govt are rather than support of Russia? Propaganda definitely works on both sides. Anyway as someone who was at most of his games from late 80s to early 00s and I've met him a few times hes always a lovely bloke to chat to and remember the old Dell days.

They're having a great season, a mate of mine is a season ticket holder there, off to Wembley for the semi final soon the cup run has got them all dreaming and they fancy their chances against Chelsea, i always end up thinking "could have been us" , doesn't seem to be the same positive buzz around Saints, as soon as we hit a bad run plenty of booing and moaning at St Mary's

Long seems to be in favour at the moment, assuming we're not going to offer him a new contract and he leaves in the summer would make more sense to play Armstrong and see if he can find some form.
