Seamus Coleman – one of our greatest-ever servants and captains – has announced his proud Everton playing career spanning more than 17 years will come to an end when his contract expires next month.
Thank you for everything, Seamus. 💙
With an 8 year old son who has a season ticket this is a nightmare, 8 o’clock KO’s meaning won’t get in till 11ish with school the next morning. Don’t mind the odd few but the amount on midweek home games has been a joke
FAB statement about the re-scheduling of fixtures and our call for meaningful consideration to be given to fans by the PL and broadcasters, and for robust Club support on behalf of its fans.
BTW a footnote from yesterday, Tarkowski and O'Brien were utterly disgraceful in their treatment of Garnacho.
There’s a line and and those two crossed and it was a fucking joy to watch 😆😆😆😆💙

Our @AHunterGuardian nails it here. Football fans, Evertonians in particular, are not naive enough to think the Premier League will be fair and well-governed but the shamelessness of the double standards on display this week is still breathtaking
I’ve always laughed at the idea that we @Everton were hard done by by the @FA but reading into it now, who actually decides the punishments, and why is there so little consistency in the outcomes
Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’.
Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport?
If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.
25/26 points tallies vs 24/25 after 24 games
1) Arsenal: +3
2) Man City: +6
3) Aston Villa: +9
4) Man United: +12
5) Chelsea: -3
6) Liverpool: -18
7) Brentford: +5
8) Sunderland: N/A
9) Fulham: -2
10) Everton: +7
11) Newcastle: -8
12) Bournemouth: -7
13) Brighton: -3
14) Spurs: +2
15) Palace: -1
16) Leeds: N/A
17) Forest: -21
18) West Ham: -7
19) Burnley: N/A
20) Wolves: -11
It's obviously not a perfect indication of quality as everyone has played different fixtures vs 24/25...
But the drop offs of Forest and Liverpool... wow.
Man United being THAT much better just shows how bleak things were under Amorim last season.
