This wonderful woman on the right is my auntie Chris. She passed away in the early hours of yesterday morning after battling multiple myeloma for 9 years.
I love this picture so much because it’s just her and my mum having a laugh and a joke at Christmas 2 years ago.

Unpopular opinion: Liverpool deserved to win the Champions League and have an outstanding team and manager. Not sure how winning a 6th European Cup can be mocked, so as an Evertonian I’d much prefer to focus on how Everton start making some progress.

I don’t want Liverpool to win a throw in, naturally, but it’s not by luck they’re as good as they are. They have a manager that gets every last drop out of his players & doesn’t let them stop until it’s over. They feast on his belief and drive. Lessons could be learned.

An unprecedented quadruple on the cards. One of the best teams in the world. Arguably Liverpool’s greatest ever team.
Anfield Edition: “I know, let’s talk about Everton.”
Never change.
Everton’s biggest win since 1995 was avoiding relegation after having the 8th highest net spend in Europe over the past 10 years.
Never change.

You look at the gap between these sides and that was masterful from Ancelotti. Made it about percentages and fine margins. Everton open up and its probably an embarrassing score line. Focused on discipline, personal battles and very nearly won it.

Andre Gomes broke his ankle in two on 3rd November. 112 days later, he plays 30 minutes at Arsenal.
In that half hour, he was more productive, energetic and forward thinking than any of his midfield colleagues have been since he last played.
They should be embarrassed.

Liverpool hadn’t finished lower than 8th in the league in that 30 years. They’ve also won the Champions League twice, the UEFA Cup, FA Cup x 3 & League Cup x 4.
I once watched Tony Hibbert come off the pitch with sunstroke in our only final in that time.
Hurt? Behave, mate.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I think it’s a big mistake if we don’t keep him - obviously at a well reduced wage.
I don’t think we could get a midfielder as good as him given our situation - would struggle to do so even if we had some money for transfers anyway.

To question Ancelotti’s position is, in my opinion, ludicrous. Is he above criticism? Absolutely not. Collective responsibility need to be taken. All considered, do you look at the Premier League table and think Everton’s squad is better than the 7 sides above them? I don’t.

It’s 2018, yet Sam Allardyce, Alan Pardew, Mark Hughes, Paul Lambert, David Moyes & Roy Hodgson are all Premier League managers. Laughable really, and each will be paid handsomely for their inevitable failures.
