I did say a couple of weeks ago that I wasn't sure whether my heart would take two derby games in the space of just six days!! Now we've a third and final one to get through and we've had the drama of conceding so late on against Arsenal.

I think you need to be both mentally and physically fit...

My Appointment, Our Objectives

I’m delighted that the Chairman and the Board of Directors have put their faith in me and I'm proud to represent the Everton at the highest level and to help shape our great Club’s future. 

No one could fail to be aware of the significance of the past and the role our history plays in setting expectations for...

Sometimes it's better to be a fan than a commentator !! As I've mentioned previously I do look forward to Derby day, the build up and banter is fantastic.
