"Do you ever look across at their success and think, “if only my life had gone another way”? I’ll bet you don’t. Not once. It defies logic but it’s resolutely true. Why might that be? Well, friend, pull up a chair and let’s meditate on this together." New by Ali Ford: evertonia.com/submissions/...

Another good, thoughtful piece from @efclyndon.bsky.social It's always worth checking out @evertonia.com for good stuff on the Blues!

The Grand Old Lady of English Football: On Sunday we bade an emotional farewell to Goodison Park, a place like no other in English football and, arguably, the last — perhaps the most magnificent — footballing venue of her kind.

A poignant, stirring listen this week. @efclyndon.bsky.social and the lads on the final day at Goodison.

Correction: Two fine pieces went up on @evertonia.com

Two fine pieces by @paultrantrainer.bsky.social went up on @evertoniasite this week: Memories of a Lifelong Friend evertonia.com/submissions/... Our European Summit, Forty Years On evertonia.com/submissions/... If you have similar memories and want to share them in an article, I'd love to them

🆕 Podcast: "An Incredible Day from Start to Finish" Poignant audio from @PaulTraill and @bitterest_blue's day begins the pod about Goodison Park's emotional send-off. The fellas discuss the match, players' futures, Newcastle (A) and GP's future with the Women's team evertonia.com/podcast/4575...

Now confirmed, the Old Lady will live on with the Women's team but for the tens of thousands for whom Goodison is home every other weekend for 9 months a year and in their hearts 24/7/365, this Sunday marks the end of an era. This is a lovely, emotional listen. Please share widely

For me, it's sometimes being able to absorb things of interest for which I might not otherwise have time. However: I bought @efclyndon.bsky.social and @steve-dickinson.bsky.social's excellent The Unofficial Everton Timeline: 2014-2024: The Moshiri Years www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0DSJYVHD... ...

Frustrating watch. Felt like was there for us but it never looked like we had what it took until Alcaraz came on. I’ve seen plenty now to say he should be starting over Doucoure but I suppose the terms of that loan deal with Flamengo may be key

Some personal news to provide clarity on recent changes re ToffeeWeb. As of this week, my involvement with TW ends and all of my Everton-related content—long-form writing, coverage of bigger EFC stories, podcast, etc will live at evertonia.com in a more “magazine-style” setting evertonia.com/about/

🆕 Thanks to 3 straight wins, #EFC’s outlook for the the season has changed significantly since the day Moyes was appointed but the Club will be riding its luck where the striker position is concerned and it could end up costing them financially anyway evertonia.com/articles/456...

“EXC. Charly Alcaraz signs with Everton! Transfer until the end of the season with purchase obligation ($20m / £16m). Everton will announce the signing shortly. “

"Goodison Park witnessed a side depleted in numbers but rejuvenated under the new boss play with a freedom and fluidity not seen in these parts for many a moon" Report on a splendid #EFC win. 3 on the bounce!

An Everton team actually playing football in the final third 😍

Depleted Everton cling on for another precious win: There was precious little to savour from an attacking perspective but even when down to 10 men, the defence largely kept the door locked at the other end as David Moyes’s men followed up last Sunday’s win over Tottenham by… http://dlvr.it/THZgwx

It’s a good thing Doucoure has an engine… 🤦‍♂️

NEW PODCAST: "Retro Day" The gang to look back at the 3-2 win over Spurs. They discuss the changes in personnel, approach and attitude; building confidence; and star displays from the likes of Ndiaye and Lindstrøm evertonia.com/podcast/4561...

Report from a massive victory over Spurs 💪 "For 70-odd minutes, this felt like Everton again. Mind you so did the final 15 — the wrong Everton! — but more important was the performance and re-emergence of signs that there is quality in this group that Dyche ultimately couldn’t cajole out of them"

How has this team not killed me by now?

@paultraill.bsky.social is back and joins Adam McCulloch and @efclyndon.bsky.social to discuss Moyes's first game back and what, if any, changes they saw against Villa before looking ahead to transfers and Spurs (H) 👇

Moyes sees the scale of his new job laid bare in defeat to Villa: This was always going to be a tough game for Moyes to try and repeat the highs of his first match in 2002 but, absent a magic wand, he's got a huge task on his hands to transform this mis-firing group of players… http://dlvr.it/THNVD7
