Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

Even when we have been the in-form team in the past and had a better team than this one, I have never been positive about a result in this game.
Not sure what is different about today but I am convinced we beat these and carry on with our charge into the CL.
I am feeling positive like GB. We win this today.
COYB UTFT's!

Good stuff, BN.a. Tarks special would be good to get the first of our goals today, mate.
18 Apr 2026 20:46:18
As it stands go 6th with a win and 2 off of 5th place. Looking at remaining fixtures, we got a chance once we bury them lot tomorrow!

A win is a must. Lose, and we are in a fight with four or five other teams. It would not be impossible, but the odds will be against us to get into Europe if we lose tomorrow.
18 Apr 2026 23:19:08
A win would be great, and we all want it. I don't agree that it's must win though, and we'd still stand a good chance of qualifying for Europe without one. Plenty of football to be played after tomorrow.
19 Apr 2026 07:56:06
I think. It would have been a must win if Brentford, Chelsea and Brighton had won. I make today a free hit now. Table says gone from 8th to 10th but still a win off 6th even if we don't win.
19 Apr 2026 10:47:46
Agree, Mike. Lose today and that could potentially stop the momentum right there. People saying we could get Champions League, but we could easily finish 10th or lower. I believe today will be pivotal to how we finish the season.
19 Apr 2026 11:03:20
12 points, whether that's 4 wins or 3 and 3 draws, would be an outstanding return. Other teams around us have to play each other and so will drop points. A win today would be a huge step in the right direction. Hope we go for it.
19 Apr 2026 11:54:13
3 points today would be massive for us.

Didn't see it but judging by the scoreline it looked like a very cagey match. ?
18 Apr 2026 10:37:20
Heard a lot about Graham, although I've not seen him play. Clearly, people are very excited about him, but I've also read that he's quite a small lad, and maybe not big enough to play in the Premiership. Are these legitimate worries?
18 Apr 2026 13:38:07
Owen, Aguero, Messi? All small players.
18 Apr 2026 13:45:47
But he's not at their level, Brass..
We will only know if we give him a try, but Moyes only likes to play one target man up front. He's more like a Radzinski or Cottee type player, I reckon. Could be good with the right partner.
18 Apr 2026 15:06:05
That size shout doesn't fly anymore. He is 5ft 9, hardly small in today's game.
Juninho, Lennon, Bernard, Ryan Fraser, Alexis Sanchez, Joe Allen all managed PL careers just fine.
This kid looks tenacious as well. I am not saying, ability-wise, he is good enough, but writing him off as not being ready because he is small is bizarre.
18 Apr 2026 16:10:43
Exactly Bn, size does not matter, by the way, Ndiaye is 5ft 10 and a bit, is he too small as well. ????
18 Apr 2026 18:49:41
Size doesn't matter as he plays more comfortably in no10 roll. Plus my lass always tells me size doesn't matter. ?
18 Apr 2026 20:05:40

18 Apr 2026 22:11:01
Not sure why Moyes prefers to bring on Barry to sulk and look disinterested rather than give Graham a chance. Moyes is a good Manager, but will never be great until he gets this too small, too young attitude out of his repertoire.
18 Apr 2026 23:17:20
Because Barry is a target man and Moyes plays a system that needs one. Graham is not a target man.
18 Apr 2026 23:58:25
Why does his system need a useless target man that can't control the ball or can do anything that resembles football?
19 Apr 2026 10:51:30
So the lad doesn't have a future with the club then? From what I have seen of him, he is a very good finisher, so either Moyes changes his system or one has to go. But which one?

17 Apr 2026 21:55:50
Brilliant post that ed 001 me personally as a blue nose he is up there in my view as one of the best players I have seen in Premier League history his goal stats are frightening 192 Premier League goals in 324 appearances could be wrong with that stat so can only apologise but great player and going to be certainly not only a miss but a hard person to replace at Liverpool am just hoping he's forgot his shooting boots this Sunday but hate derby's and tough to call but I reckon be an entertaining match so hope you have a good 1 mate
{Ed001's Note - thank you andy, I hope you enjoy the game but not too much! I will badly miss Salah, very hard to replace a player with that much quality.}
18 Apr 2026 07:49:52
Oh, for a Salah in our team, excellent top class player.
18 Apr 2026 09:48:58
We have McNeil GB.

The more posts I read the more clues I read to believe this is now a grumpy old man's support group.
Are the any contributors under say 40 years old out there, I pick 40 as my lad is 42 and the signs are there already.
Or lady contributors of any age just to see if we're a fair representation of our fans. Could we do a poll Ed 33 just for a laugh I'll let you pick the categories but as a suggestion G.O.M, Ladies, under 40.

I think, in the few seasons before this latest one, we were entitled to be grumpy, Big C. We were so down and almost out. I don't believe it was the norm. Now, however, we are a lot of happy bunnies, mate. ????
17 Apr 2026 00:31:40
Tickled me this, Big. Great post, mate.
17 Apr 2026 00:58:27
I was young when I joined this forum, Big C. Years of neglect and relegation battles have worn me down, and all of a sudden I am a grumpy old man. At Wembley in 1995 I was the age my son is now, and the expectation was great.
Don't blame us, grumpy old men, it's not our fault. It is actually unbelievable that we have managed to live so long, given the tremendous disappointments that we have had to endure.
17 Apr 2026 10:26:42
Stop moaning Big C. ???
17 Apr 2026 10:30:20
I certainly meet the criteria for being grumpy, Big C, but at 39 I hope I'm not considered to fall into the old man category!
17 Apr 2026 10:31:41
Lived this long despite far greater pressure/dangers than supporting Everton boys and girls, fact is Everton over the years has been a joy.
17 Apr 2026 10:38:02
It doesn't matter Ed 33 it was only for a laugh, of course I have no idea how hard it is to make a poll so I appreciate all your hard work for the editing and polls that mean something

Privileged enough to live through the glory years of the 80s makes me well over 40, sadly, but a grumpy old Blue? Never!
{Ed025's Note - that still reminds me of when Grumpy Toffee was still with us Ace. I still think of him at times mate..
17 Apr 2026 20:08:54
He's certainly missed Ed. I often catch myself thinking, I wonder what Grumpy would have thought of this or that
I'm definitely in the grumpy group. Too many years of disappointment and daft decisions from the club. The best spell we've had in the last 30 years corresponded with when I left the city for university and work so the 12 seasons I had a season ticket was mostly relegation battle after relegations battle. I missed the FA cup final as I was on a school trip away.
{Ed025's Note - tough break that BR, hopefully we will see the good times return now mate because i believe we are going places now..
18 Apr 2026 07:51:55
Now you are talking Ed mate Grumpy Toffee is a legend and miss like hell mate
{Ed025's Note - yeah he was good man GB..
18 Apr 2026 08:51:25
It does me too Ed. Very sad when his son posted to inform us all of his passing. That day I changed my Profile from a blue ace of spades to a black one. Not changed it back and have no intention of either. Great poster never forgotten ??

Back to consistent top 8 Moyes.
16 Apr 2026 12:03:33
Just hope we can achieve something under Moyes dms.
It's ridiculous to have 'pressure' to break into the breakaway 6 these days. The fact some teams can spend and spend without fear of being penalised (be it due their income is much higher than others because of fanbase, marketing, historic success or infrastructure, or the League's bias to not offer equal punishments to them) is wrong.
Read today that Liverpool are after Ndiaye and Gordon which would cost well over £100m for both. If it was to happen, that would be another huge summer after £450m last summer. Chelsea, Utd and City can all seem to spend whatever they like and others like Newcastle or ourselves are limited by the 'rules'. It's crazy.
Still prefer it to relegation scrap though.
16 Apr 2026 12:37:54
And then reading Liverpool have to sell before they buy.
16 Apr 2026 15:36:37
Chelsea are the major culprits in this scandal, over a billion spent in the last couple of seasons.
17 Apr 2026 00:34:51
Thankfully Ndiaye seems a lad that is guided by principles and morals. Not a chance he does us dirty like Barmby.

Remember going to the Spurs night game in 85, I was living and working in London at the time and took my then girlfriend to the game (she supported the Hammers). Got the train to Seven Sisters and walked to the ground with the Spurs fans keeping pretty quiet.
Crammed in a corner of the ground with the rest of the blues fans, Andy Gray scored we all went mad and she fainted. It was pretty crammed in there, no seats back then. Anyway picked her up and she was passed overhead by all the lads (some enjoying it a little too much) to the front where they opened the gate (we were caged in back then), I followed her and they took us around the ground to the first aid room which was on the side of the ground full of Spurs fans.
She went into the first aid room and I was told to wait outside. Half time came and I was surrounded by very angry Spurs fans. I learned that night I could do a passable feckin s*** in a cockney accent, and that they really didn't like scousers.
So with my scarf tied around my waist I managed to survive half time. As the second half starts she is allowed out so I started to go back into the ground. I was stopped by a copper who asked where I was going and as soon as he heard my accent said no chance, and we got thrown out the ground.
Missed the rest of the game and the win. Never took her to another game after that. And that is why I hope they get relegated ?.

Would be nice to see us do it on our last game, mate.
16 Apr 2026 12:23:57
Nice story BMD. I went to Salford Tech. and on 3rd February 1960 going to get the bus I met up with a college mate who was from Crewe. He said that Crewe were playing Spurs that evening at White Hall Lane in a cup replay and would I like to join him going to the game. So with only the small amount of money we had in our pockets, we hitch-hiked down to London, watched Spurs win 13-2, and hitch-hiked home. Must have been totally mad in those days.
I kept my mouth shut, since we were probably the only Crewe supporters in the ground, and let my friend do the talking. Even though they were winning so heavily they were a nasty bunch, taking every opportunity to ridicule little Crewe who had held them to a draw the previous week. Only consolation for me was the Llewellyn, who used to play for Everton, scored for Crewe.
If they had known that I was a scouser then God knows what treatment I would have got.
