Appropriately enough I suppose Saturday is history day following our own achievements on Sunday... Okay, not quite as historic as what's gone before down the years at Everton Football Club, but, nonetheless in it's own way it was a day we can look back on in years to come. The day that we finally made it to a semi final...

One thing's for certain in this week's blog and that's the fact it won't take me long to reflect on Wednesday night's sleep inducing 90 minutes of football.

Probably (no, definitely!!) the worst game I've witnessed this season, certainly in terms of entertainment value and the lack of quality football on offer. However, my disappointment is only a reflection of the progress we've made...

It goes without saying I suppose that injuries are an accepted part of football, however when it happens to your main man, the pain is apparent to all. Mikel Arteta will be hurting physically and mentally. He has a long road ahead of him and how he handles it psychologically will determine his future to a certain extent. As fans...

All parties agreed that the Inquiry had been conducted in good spirit and with good order and all...

For obvious reasons I always pay special attention to any striking additions made to the Everton squad and what a debut we were treated to on Saturday.

I thought in the first half especially Jo showed what he could do - he got hold of the ball, held play up, allowed the midfield to push up and his general play was...

It has been an incredible week......one where I've experienced a complete range of emotions that once again makes you realise that it is after all only a game.
 
It began with the worst possible news, the sudden death of a real friend and work colleague. Phil Easton was a lot more than a wonderful local broadcaster, he was an absolute gentleman...
