Merry Christmas to you all, hope you all have a boss day with your loved ones. Thanks to all the eds for their tireless work and enduring patience, and to all those that post in these forums.
We may not always agree on everything but there's no doubt that we all want the same thing, a successful Everton Football Club.

Alright lads new boy here. Been reading posts and decided to join. Don’t have a season ticket but do go to most games home and away. And believe me there is a difference in atmosphere. Might just be the amount of shandy drunk or the jolly day out feel to it.
Or maybe it’s the none stop singing and having a laugh.
Anyway need to start instilling that into the home games now too.
Have a lovely Christmas and here’s looking to a great New Year UTFT!
{Ed025's Note - you too AD, and welcome mate..
25 Dec 2025 15:17:22
Good to have you on board mate.
25 Dec 2025 19:30:31
Away Days brilliant been wanting a game and player view from away supporters, I can get to most home games but it enhances info if we have away supporters take.
26 Dec 2025 01:11:10
Welcome "Away Days", very jealous, when I was younger I used to go to most home games and many away games and enjoyed every minute. Now have to watch the games on TV, no comparison.

Listening to a podcast on my way into work by Jonny Owen and Mark Webster, called 'If you know your History'
First 2 episodes are the Cities rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester. Excellent listen about football and social history.

Merry Christmas guys have a good one ??.
24 Dec 2025 21:27:16
Merry Christmas and most importantly a healthy 2026. Wishes for next year include a goal scoring center-forward, getting into Europe and for Moyes to try Plan B a little.
For those who want to know what is "Plan B" it is anything but Plan A!
25 Dec 2025 01:02:34
Merry Christmas Gents! Hope you all have a cracker with your loved ones. All the best!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas. I asked Santa for 3 points at Burnley!

Merry Christmas all. Hope we get a late Christmas present of three points tomorrow!
24 Dec 2025 07:39:06
Read comments on here and from punters that Dibling 'simply has to start against Burnley' my question 'on what evidence'. I watched 20 minutes of Dibling against an Arsenal side that did just enough to win, he produced zilch. Watched the whole game then and watched a recording yesterday, our defenders did their job (O'Briens brain fart excepting) , Grealish quiet (no KDH or Ndiaye) , Beto has to start till we can find a striker (West Ham after him, I would rather sell them Barry) .
Nothing from Chelsea and Arsenal, not surprising. We should expect a performance against Burnley at least a draw.
24 Dec 2025 09:01:14
Reallly don’t like the lad do you. He’s had hardly any game time, and when he is given a few minutes it’s always at the end of games that have already gone. And I’m sure Moyes playing McNeil ahead of him must have boosted his confidence no end. But hey he's crap so get rid eh.
24 Dec 2025 09:40:46
Not crap, just not seen anything to justify the outlay. Comments such as the game has gone so by inference anyone coming on with 20 minutes to go shouldn't try or bother are ridiculous. One you made last night on Ndiaye another one, the lad lined up on the right, played exactly as he plays for us, I watched the whole game. Look if Dibling comes on against Burnley, plays anywhere near his hype, I will be the first to hold my hand up and say kudos.
It isn't his fault somebody recommended him or someone saw fit to lay out 40 odd mill - Moyes pushed for him we are told. Have a good xmas. I will be in a better mood once the light of my life unlocks the liquer cabinet.
24 Dec 2025 09:43:55
Love everyones views so you watched the game again DMS and in 20 minutes dibling showed nothing and shouldn't get a start. so I gather you prefer Mcneil on the right and watched him for 70 plus minutes who did nothing either.
could try charly there and hope his passing against Burnley is better than against arsenal. Big decision for DM but I'm pretty sure he will pick Mcneil again.
24 Dec 2025 10:34:20
I said to me he showed nothing, what other peoples views are is theirs including the main man Moyes. There appears to be a media push for Dibling to start against Burnley, as I said if he does and produces kudos. I don't know the timeline but suppose the negotiations for Dibling were strong (Dibling RW, Ndiaye LW) and then whump along comes Grealish.
McNeil to me and others is also not good enough and against a half throttle Arsenal in 70 mins frustrating, but again Moyes likes him.
24 Dec 2025 11:03:35
Personally I've watched all the England under 21s he's produced exactly what he's produced for Everton nothing, passes it back or loses it, he's young but so are some of the other youngsters who are playing, Hutchinson at forrest, at least he has put some crosses in, goes past a player, i'm yet to see any of this and for 40 million a cross is the minimum he should be doing, Barry the same, I don't no which scouts thought 70 odd million for these 2 was a good idea, 70 million who does this on 2 un proven players.
24 Dec 2025 11:24:57
As a blue i want all the players to do well but I get they have to show something aswell when they do get on the pitch no matter how many minutes they get Barry isn't good enough for me but has improved with the minutes he has had. give Dibbers a run of games while ndiaye is away. i'm gathering when he was at Southampton he had the right back overlapping to give him space to do whatever it is he did to be priced at £45 mill and that ain't going to happen with obrien behind him cause he definitely isn't a tricky or pacy winger from what i have seen so far.
can he pick a pass i don't know either because it always comes backwards but I would like to see him start infont of mcneil against Burnley.
24 Dec 2025 12:18:25
Is Kudos the other option at right wing?
24 Dec 2025 12:43:02
Isn't he at spurs JB lol ?.
24 Dec 2025 13:17:38
Nice to see you scrutinise my comments dms. I will count you as a follower.
24 Dec 2025 14:59:30
I don't scrutinise, you said I hope Moyes is watching this, Ndiaye playing behind the striker, he wasn't. The line up posted had him RW, in the game he played exactly as he does for us.
25 Dec 2025 11:57:52
To be fair to BMD that was how the line up was shown prior to kick off.
24 Dec 2025 07:39:03
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 17 - Quick Round Up
23 Dec 2025 20:17:19
League Cup 1/4 final without VAR, refreshing.
24 Dec 2025 09:22:09
Those lads certainly know how to take penalties.
23 Dec 2025 16:35:12
Looks like Chelsea are in for Semenyo now, be very happy if we went in for Tyrique George on loan as a result.
23 Dec 2025 16:51:53
That would be good mate.
23 Dec 2025 20:52:52
Too young lad's DM wouldn't play him.
{Ed025's Note - not premiership ready Ron..
23 Dec 2025 21:09:40
Don't think he could shift Travers and King off bench either. Maybe go to U21's to learn his trade lol.
23 Dec 2025 23:25:37
Sorry, but we've got exactly the right manager in place at the moment so so stop criticizing him. We know he's not perfect nor do we have the perfect squad, but let's enjoy the fact he fact that we have moved on so much from this time last year.
We will have ups and downs this year but we are so much better than we were and I, at least, can enjoy the games so much more than previous years.
24 Dec 2025 06:54:01
Be careful Pojo mate. No positive posts on here. You have to be a pint half empty man. Just to keep you updated they've moved on from Barry bashing now to giving it to Dibling or bringing up obscure strikers we MUST sign now from crap leagues. I didn't want Moyes back but with the TFG we ARE moving on from recent seasons of tripe.
24 Dec 2025 07:44:10
Just honest assessment Reg. What did the lad do in his most recent appearance (20 mins) to convince you he should come in against a Burnley side that will fight tooth and nail? We desperately need a RW, striker as priority.
24 Dec 2025 09:00:38
Barry not premiership but still playing every week?
24 Dec 2025 09:29:15
Exactly stig, should be the other B.
24 Dec 2025 12:52:07
Burnley is going to be a hard game they have been unlucky in quite a few of there games and inexperience in a few choices there players make has hurt them. they haven't been battered in game's and like you say DMS they will keep going till the end.
I hate saying it but my head is saying 2.1 to Burnley but my heart is saying 3.2 to us but I don't know were are goals will come from.
23 Dec 2025 16:01:56
Ndiaye playing in the centre just behind the striker. Hope Moyes is watching.
23 Dec 2025 16:11:30
But team lined up with him on the right.
23 Dec 2025 16:16:29
Somebody from Everton will be watching (all the games) .
{Ed025's Note - lets hope its not one of our scouts watching DMS, or we will be signing 2 more goalies to sit on the bench..
23 Dec 2025 16:15:37
Watching it now he is on the right, drifting in, how he plays for us.
23 Dec 2025 16:23:08
Nah ED from the Pub, listening to us experts.
{Ed025's Note - yeah you are probably right DMS, they watch clips on You Tube while they are guzzling scotch..
23 Dec 2025 14:48:32
Pawson in charge for the game, . How has that bloke still got a PL gig.
23 Dec 2025 09:46:49
I see the next 5 games as all winnable and 15 points to pick up. We haven’t got Ndaiye, Guye, or Dewsbury Hall. To win games we need to score goals so where are the goals going to come from? Garner, Alcatraz, Keane?
Is this a good opportunity to change things and play both Barry and Beto together, Grealish left and Dibbling right and get crosses in. Worth a try if just for one game. There are others on this site with more knowledge than me of the game to comment on that suggestion.
We all know the Dibbling situation being sat on the bench. He may be 19 years of age but he won’t develop as a player in the Premiership sitting on the bench week after week. We’ve all got to respect what the manager has got planned, but there’s time when to just throw a player in the deep end and see what he does. I personally hadn’t seen Dibbling before he came to the club so I don’t know what his best qualities are. How old was Rooney and even longer back Joe Royle
, Alan Ball, Howard Kendall etc, when they were introduced. Leeds have been introducing members of the Gray family at early age, one who is now at spurs. You can see the inexperience in them, but you can see them developing as players as an example.
We all know a new striker is needed. We can’t take the risk of bringing in another overseas striker in my mind. We need someone preferable with Premiership experience and proven which costs lots of money. Another brought in from abroad, we will get the same excuses if doesn’t hit the ground running eg, playing in a new country, needs time to settle in, learn the language. We need someone for the rest of this season as well as next. Wonder if Beto could pick up in January like he did 12 months ago.
Rant over. Seasons greetings to everyone and the Ed’s and all the best for 2026.
23 Dec 2025 14:28:26
Top post Brian. Beto and Barry up top together would certainly be interesting. Bull in a China shop comes to mind mate.
23 Dec 2025 15:28:33
Two sloths in a china shop
More like it.
23 Dec 2025 15:42:10
Hahah! Love it Pig.
23 Dec 2025 15:48:06
They would cause havoc for the defence and for each other. However won’t happen as Moyes likes his loan striker tactic. Wouldn’t want him having to learn a new one now, not at his age.
23 Dec 2025 16:32:22
I can’t see it working out with two liabilities up top, and we’d get overrun in midfield.
