Everton have dropped 10 points from winning positions when they led by 2+ goals this season. #EFC

Everton that What a letdown Tons of work to do this summer

Dart was my QB2 given how I saw him fitting Daboll's New York Giants O but he has serious flaws and needs a ton of work. However, if Daboll wanted him and believes in him (and he clearly did) then this had to be done. It is hard to be confident about it but we live in hope.

The 2025/26 Premier League campaign will be Everton's 123rd season in the top flight - and their first at Everton Stadium. #EFC

I'm on an emergency two-day stint as ECHO EFC writer - basically journalism's Sander Westerveld. So here's a piece...Ndiaye and Gueye (if he stays) could miss a potential nine games next season due to the new AFCON schedule. Tried to explain 👇 #EFC www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...

Just chatting football with a Gunner. She was mainly grumping about Arsenal but had this wonderful line: “Spurs are just West Ham in an Armani suit”

They're teaching economics wrong – full interview with Ha-Joon Chang www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGt7...

The @pbsnews.org interviewed three economists about Trump's tariffs. Ha-Joon Chang, Willy Shih and @justinwolfers.bsky.social They all shared the same opinion about his policies - it takes a long time to build up factories. Companies also hate chaos. Trump is chaos.

Difficult to get your head around how much this is. But if we burned $100m every day, it would take 263 years to get through it all. The United States of America is only 248yrs old.

Is right lad

David Blunkett arguing that Rachel Reeves has, quite simply, got it very wrong with her "rules" that drove her cruel cuts. 👏👏👏

Ignore the smattering of misinformed negative newspaper stories around Everton Stadium and instead read a first hand account by a journo who was actually there. inews.co.uk/sport/footba... Via @msidouglas.bsky.social

Alix Waldron, director of new stadium development at #EFC on the test event ending early: “Being able to demonstrate the evacuation routes & processes that have been put in place for Everton Stadium is an important part of us obtaining the required safety certificate & licence” #UTFT

Nelson Dock has outline planning permissions for a huge hotel, flats, restaurants, bars and a floating sport facility. Could be huge for Everton. thetoffees.online/everton-news...

Oh.

Jack Harrison's goal against Wolves is Everton's 9,000th goal in their history in all competitions. #EFC

A bad performance yields a point Maybe if we step back from our constant unrealistic online demand for perfection from our players then perhaps we can find a little satisfaction in our 8 game PL unbeaten run and the opportunities that lie ahead to build a better future than our recent past? UTFT

We carry more threat under Moyes despite it being the same mid-level players Our defence is significantly less robust Overall it has worked for us in most games so far but there is definitely quite a lot of room for improvement

Penaltypool always get help when they need it

All of a sudden, Everton seem to be acting like a sensible club. After years of tumult, I'm all for it. My Royal Blue column ahead of the club's trip to Wolves ⤵️ www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...
