There have been worse days. Everton’s defeat at Southampton in the Saturday lunchtime fixture leaves us two wins away from a guaranteed fourth place finish in the Premier League.

Again I owe a huge thank you to one of ours. Bathgooner, as some of you know, is great company on a matchday, but he has also been hiding his creative skills from you, until today. Thank you so much, bath, for helping me out of a hole this morning. Here is his take on […]

Big thanks to the first of two guest posters today.

I’m no blogger, just someone who looks after the team and […]
