There are no words to describe how I feel after that.
The first Derby without my Dad, gutted not to be able to speak to him after that wonderful Old School performance.
I know he’ll be having a heavenly whisky with HK tonight tho 💙💪💙💪

Today’s of course the first game when I won’t hear from my Dad before or after; fitting perhaps that it’s Villa and the most played top flight fixture.

I’m no Dyche apologist, but when he says that’s the worst defeat of his 500+ game career as a Manager it just confirms he’s the latest man to be unable to arrest the fundamentally ruinous decline of our once great Club.

Today the man who made me an Evertonian is spending his 88th Birthday in hospital, after a very difficult last few days.
Hopefully he’s on the mend now, thanks to the brilliance of the staff at

Love you Dad 💙

In normal circumstances, losing the first four home games of the season, three of them to Fulham, Wolves & Luton (scoring only one goal in the process) would be more than enough to get you sacked.
Everton haven’t been normal for a very long time tho, so who knows what next?

An update on the season’s stats after last night:
🔹Failed to score in 11 of 25 games
🔹Scored 17 goals in 25 games
🔹Scored over one twice in 25 games
🔹2 goals from open play since October
🔹Goal difference now -19
Wonder where the problem lies?

“In Premier League circles, Everton are known as one of its most dysfunctional clubs and at the centre of it all, aged 77 and in less than perfect health, is Kenwright.”
Revered? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
THE CULT OF BILL: Kenwright is 77 and has just a 1.3% stake in Everton... yet he cannot cut ties and still wields huge power at Goodison |

Let’s hope a big pile of player requisition forms from Dyche & Thelwell on Bill’s desk this morning.
Once he’s read the detailed reports & references, signed the forms, passed them to Farhad for his signature there might be a few hours of the window left to do a deal or 7.
