Having found out that our Academy side had reached the final of the Premier Academy League and since we were heading up to West Bromwich anyway, we decided to break our journey in London and stay overnight and head out to watch the youngsters battle it out against a very strong Fulham set-up.

The trip took an added delight for us...

Saturday, a 5am wake up call and a lot of swearing from the boy at this ghastly hour! The things we do to follow the Blues!

Today we are heading to Old Trafford for the early kick-off with Manchester United, a fixture I really look forward to every season.

I've been supporting Everton for nearly 40 years now, though not born in Liverpool, I lived in the Crosby/Waterloo area for some 24 years before moving back down south to Canterbury in Kent.
