Two lads from Burnley on the news last night.
Both on zero hours contracts, struggling to find anywhere decent to live.
Voted Tory.
You couldn’t make it up.
I voted Labour for the likes of them and they’ve voted to probably make me better off 🙈
Ah well, thanks for that lads.
🤷🏻♂️
It's not every day you get the opportunity to acquire an Everton shirt that's nearly 100 years old.
Absolutely delighted to add this one to the collection with perfect provenance directly from the grandson of the player.

Before you hang, draw and quarter anybody, have you ever read ‘No Smoke, No Fire’, by former Everton player Dave Jones?
It’s a tragic story that almost ruined his life.
Let justice take its course.

Did I dream that I’d heard Steven Gerrard was sent off yesterday for an incident with a nine year old ball boy?
I didn’t hear it even mentioned on Match of the Day and it’s certainly not in the BBC match report. 🤷♂️
Still have a soft spot for Sheff Wed.
When we played in ‘88, I ran / walked there for charity.
They presented me with a signed ball on the pitch, then arranged for me to go into the Everton dressing room to get it signed by our players after the game.

VAR is going to be a total waste of time if an experienced referee like Dermot Gallagher can still think that was a penalty, even though he accepts Gana won the ball.
I despair.
In the past 12 months, the top people
@Everton
have taken a bit of a battering on social media and podcasts.
The work put into getting to this stage on BMD, culminating in today’s top class presentation, should not be underestimated in any way.
Brilliant work.

Richard Kenyon is a true gentleman.
On Tuesday night he was at an
@EvertonHeritage
meeting until 9:30 pm, having arrived straight from a previous meeting.
That's an example of his commitment to the club as an
@Everton
supporter?
No point having a survey if you only ask easy Q's.
Just arrived home from Nairobi.
What a fantastic experience. Great place with lovely people.
Couldn’t even be disappointed that
@Everton
got beat when you saw the joy it created for the locals.
Great work by the club over there too.

Our greatest manager was appointed in May 1981.
Most of 1st 3 seasons were in the bottom half until good finishes led to us ending 8th, 7th & 7th.
3 seasons of mediocrity to go with the 10 b4.
The patience paid off with dividends.
Silva has had 7 league games.
🤔
#Everton
Time for a reality check?
We’re goosed financially and have a squad that is desperately short on quality
That ain’t gonna change any time soon and Dyche is working minor miracles.
These players aren’t going to turn into world-beaters.
Let’s accept it and get behind them?
#EFC
@Everton
have a massive Sports science team.
There’s never been more data available to the management team on fitness levels and performance, both before and during the game.
But Nobby from Norris Green thinks we should be making subs because ‘the legs have gone’.
#Everton
#EFC
Picked up some great press photos today, including this one.
Many people talk about turning points in this season.
This is Gillingham at home in the cup.
Everybody refers to Cascarino's miss in the replay, but here's Alan Harper heading off the line.
Never gets a mention.
I may be over-reacting in the heat of the moment, but I’m genuinely not sure I’ve seen a better save than that one from Pickford today.
Absolutely no right to save that.

Having another sort out of my

memorabilia today.
Thought I’d better take some photos,as half the time I don’t know what I’ve got / not got.
Today was mainly pennants.

To those saying ‘the football is shite’, how could the football be better with this squad ?
My take - He’s identified how difficult scoring was going to be.
If we concede, we’re not going to win many.
So what option is there but keep things tight and hope to pinch one?
Barry
The term ‘massive Evertonian’ (or any other club) is much over-used.
Individually, you are all true, massive Evertonians, but collectively there can be no better extended family of Evertonians than the Jones’s and Murray’s.
Deepest condolences to you all.
RIP Michael.
💙💙
A new addition to the collection and it’s significant in that it’s possibly the first use of the club crest, which was only designed in 1938.

#Everton
Was it just me, or was there a more positive mood at Goodison today?
Even after a poor first 30 minutes there wasn't the recent negativity.
If we can keep it up, it could be Nikola Vlasic's best contribution, in making some fans think about their impact on players.
#EFCmatchday
Modern football:
Fixtures dictated by Sky/BT.
Inept referees
Players who don't give a flying ......
'Supporters' 🤷♂️
Agents taking £millions out the game
Smaller clubs going bust
No money for grass roots
A 'Respect' campaign that's a joke
VAR shambles.
Everton
What's left to like?
#Yerry
Mina
Until we break into them Champions League we'll always be second choice to this quality of player.
Fail & we may sell at a profit.
Succeed and maybe he'll stay.
One thing's for sure, if we don't show this level of ambition, we're going nowhere.

Oh it did register, cos another lad said ‘I’ve voted Labour for years, but they never change anything, so I’m voting Conservative’.
Might just need a lesson on what a ‘government’ is. 🙄
A recent purchase of press photos at auction unearthed what looks like a last minute winner from John Connolly at Coventry on 6 October 1973 - my first ever Everton away win nearly fifty years ago.
Always looking to add to the collection.

Does anybody else watch hardly any football on TV?
Still love going to the game, but watching it on telly has lost all its attraction.
Seriously, I’d rather watch Super League (Rugby League) and the women’s cricket.
My latest addition to the collection combines my love of the Blues and

Presented to Jack Sharp - FA Cup winner in 1906. Played football and cricket for England and of course had a sports outfitters in Whitechapel.

1) Fantastic organisation and discipline.
2) Can ‘fans’ give up on the ‘Get out’ screams 🙄🤷♂️
3) Not even one yellow card in a derby? Disgraceful! 😉🤣
4) Looks like he’s not ‘lost the dressing room’.
5) They’ve reeled me in again. 🤦🏻
6) You lost the league at Goodison Park.
💙
Football agents saying that Cardiff 'abandoned' Sala.
They were on a fee of £1.5m for arranging the guys transfer and they don't even accept responsibility for getting him there. And even worse, try to pin the blame on others.
What the absolute fuck?
Pariahs of the game.
In the cold light of day and taking into account the ever increasing gulf in technical ability, that has to be up there in the top ten performances I’ve witnessed in 55 years.
Fantastic organisation, discipline and commitment.
Great credit to every player and the manager. 💙
Yes, people are entitled to an opinion, but if you can’t see the damage being done to players by slagging them off, you’re blind.
In Ancelotti’s first interview, he’s stressed three times in three minutes, the importance of ‘sticking together’.
#Everton
#EFC
Many thanks to everybody who put their faith in me by re-electing me onto the
@RuncornLinnets
trust board.
It’s never taken for granted and 100% commitment is a given, but we’ll never get everything right.
Please offer feedback and ask questions.
Your views are so important.
Weird day.
We lose a world class manager hours after I pick up this wonderful medal.
I might just settle for us being a museum club and save all the heartache.

One of the joys of cup games is you have different people sat by you.
So thanks to the guy by me in the Upper Gwladys for the coaching lesson and constant moans of ‘forward’.
You peaked in the build up to the 4th goal - ‘oh FFS, lost the opportunity now and back to square one’ 🙄
Apparently, according to MOTD, ‘Darwin Nunez is THE man in form in world football’ with 4 league goals and 3 assists.
Bellingham has 10 and 2
Kane has 15 and 5.

There’s nobody more interested in the club’s heritage than me, but this is just a marketing approach that surely you’ve been encouraging?
Personally, I like the simplicity and subtlety - bit like this classic T-shirt from
@ToffeeArt
.
How many performances like last night, will Antony Gordon be allowed by the Everton Twitterati before they decide he’s shite ?
About 5 ?
And I’ll guarantee they’ll be same ones who were demanding “give Gordon a chance”.
Just remember how much DCL said the negativity affected him.
Disgraceful from Ancelotti who I foolishly believed was an honourable man.
We have about six or seven players that you’d want to keep and I bet virtually all of them will now want out for various reasons.
This has set us back years and massive amounts of cash.
#EFC
#Everton
“The top strikers don’t miss chances like that”
A popular shout when DCL had a difficult one on one saved at Leeds.
Anybody watching Harry Kane tonight?

Me on the left in the shades.
Just check out the number of blues in the Kemlyn Road.
The following morning we set off for Inter Bratislava by train.
Fantastic days.
@james_corbett
I’ve no interest in the Champions League now, because it’s basically the same teams playing each other, in the same major cities of Europe.
This would take it to a new level of disinterest.
The first 20 customers spending £10 or more on my stall at St Luke's on Sunday will receive a free signed large photo of Lee Carsley's goal.
Everybody who retweets & follows, prior to 3pm Sunday, will enter a draw for a signed Holy Trinity mount.

The cheek of West Brom not watering the pitch at half time eh?
"If you play football constantly in the air like West Brom you don't need a wet pitch .......Now West Brom can now play on a dry pitch in the Championship".
What a gobshite Klopp is.
Interesting day in Nairobi.
A bustling city and another humbling place.
Why is it that people in the poorest places always seem the happiest?
Look forward to being joined by reinforcements tomorrow night and hitting the ale.
Doesn’t seem to be great local interest in the game.
On behalf of
@EvertonHeritage
Society, I thank everybody who has supported our events, particularly match days at St Luke's.
Due to the 12:30 kick off on New Years Day, we will not be open, but will be back for the Lincoln game.
Wishing every
@Everton
fan Merry Christmas.
🎄 💙🎄
At last somebody has spoken the uncomfortable truth.
FFS will 'supporters' now realise the impact the moaning and groaning has on players?
Put yourself in their position.
If you were being slagged of at work, would it make you perform better?
And wages are irrelevant.
Fantastic effort from the
@RuncornLinnets
off field team today.
We started under staffed and due to unforeseen circumstances that worsened not long before kick off.
Thanks to the great flexibility of our staff and patience of our support,we got through.
Great day
Thanks to all.💛
@TLong_ftbl
Pathetic comment.
Who’s he supposed to play.
Fans have been screaming for Simms to be given a chance.
When him and Dobbin are the only strikers available, what does it do to confidence if he still doesn’t pick either?
@its_Fraser_
Ohhh come on.
He’s a lovely guy.........when they’re getting penalties....and it’s not windy.....and the grass isn’t too long......and his keeper hasn’t got cold feet.....and it’s not snowing .... and they get a nice long break.
And don’t even mention that nasty Jordan Pickford.
That performance from
@PJags06
last night, just typified him at his best.
Under the cosh at Old Trafford putting his body on the line.
Great to see him back to his best at 38.
A top player for us who never gave less than 100%.
#EFC
#Everton
@BootleFCBucks
The only thing I’d question, is whether locals get it worse than any other players.
The lack of tolerance and patience with most players these days is mental.
I’m sure some ‘supporters’ are delighted when players fail.
They seem happier saying ‘told you so’ than ‘well done’.
Latest addition to the collection arrived today.
Not a major item, but love the novelty bits. Not seen one in 30 years of collecting, so delighted to get it relatively cheaply.
Lots of predictions this week, that Goodison would be toxic today.
It just shows what difference a positive start from the team and 100% effort throughout the game, makes to the supporters.

Get down to St Luke's to meet a lovely guy and support a great cause.
Displays of Everton photographs from years gone by and some excellent memorabilia and gifts for sale: t shirts, prints, programmes, books, etc., etc.
A quick reminder that we have one of the finest crossers of a ball to grace Goodison as our guest at St Luke's on Saturday (3:30 to 5pm). Dave Thomas will be signing copies of his new autobiography. The proceeds go to support
@guidedogs
Emery kicks water bottle, which just about makes contact with Brighton fan. Clearly mortified, goes over & apologises. Informs 4th official & apologises again at FT. Ref doesn't include in report but FA still look into it.
Salah dive virtually identical to Niasse - Nothing.
🤔
Strange how things happen when you’re a sad collector 🙂
Been collecting for 30 years. Alex Scott died in 2001 and I’d never had a photo signed by Alex, nor had I even seen the Glasgow Evening supplement previously.
Then both are acquired separately in the same week.
