There'll be snide comments about celebrating like they won the league blah blah but after 22 years they should fall on deaf ears. It WAS a huge win. Does it suddenly transform

worked with the PL to ensure all dealings were FFP compliant when it was clear they were close to breach. Everything was done with PL scrutiny. That same organisation have now approved head spinning disproportionate penalty arguably as political tool to avoid regulation

Obviously terrible what happened to the Man City bus but TV news need to retire the 'fans threw missiles' line as if Kenny from Fairfield was launching Tomahawks from outside the Arkles.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is another Everton player who is maybe being dragged up a level by the new era, not that he needed it in terms of ability, but in urgency and form.
Great display for Iceland last night, two goals & he said: "I hope Carlo was watching." Can only bode well.

fans in the away end applauding the players for a hard-fought and brave performance. They got nothing for it and they weren't expected to beforehand but there was no capitulation.
Maybe on another day (at another stadium) Gordon gets a pen and other decisions go their way

Richarlison has apologised for the challenge on Thiago which saw him sent off in the Merseyside derby and left the Liverpool midfielder injured. He has tweeted: "I apologize to Thiago and my teammates for what happened today" tagging in the former Bayern man

I'd imagine Iwobi was told to, among other things, come on and keep the ball. protect it. He wasn't listening.

Difficult to verify those threatening banners were actually left outside Rafa Benitez's family home - he has a wife and two daughters - but if true it's reprehensible. It's not representative of a fan base it's one or two sinister individuals & it's terrible

Phil Jagielka was always one of those players who fronted up in the bad times as well as good.
Honest, friendly, no ego.
In his prime, with that recovery pace and reading of the game he was a fantastic central defender.
Wish him well with whatever comes next!

More fall-out from the controversial Merseyside derby on Saturday.
Merseyside Police have announced that they're investigating a number of offensive tweets made in relation to two Everton players, believed to be Jordan Pickford & Richarlison, after the game.

That gesture from Morgan Schneiderlin underlines a compassionate man with empathy: he lost his dad last year. As fans everyone is entitled to criticise players when they aren’t up to scratch but they’re also human beings and there has to be a line.

Moshiri “if I tell you what we offered Lukaku you wouldn’t believe me. His agent came to finch farm to sign contract then Lukaku phones his mother” and there was a pilgrimage to Africa and some sort of voodoo that says he had to sign for Chelsea. “What can you do?”

Defensively embarrassing. No, actually worse than that - humiliating. And the attacking play is not far off either. Season essentially over.

Luke Matheson is 15 & only started back at school yest after summer hols. Last night he had to come on for Rochdale at right-back after 15 mins as they beat Bury 2-1.

I’ve never been so wrong about a player
Alex Iwobi won 100% of his duels and completed 100% of his take-ons in the first half vs. Nottingham Forest:
4/4 duels won
2/2 take-ons completed
He also won possession more times than any other player (11). ⚔️

“We hope to return the centre circle & some of the pitch for green space & a children play area so Blues can take children & grandchildren & can say we will always play at Goodison Park albeit in a different way”
