Our Free School success has certainly caught the eye.

We've been swamped with congratulations from other clubs, the Premier League, the City Council, fans, our partners and many more. We've also been inundated by people saying ‘tell me more about it'.
 
About a year ago the Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove, wrote to all Premier League clubs inviting them...

I did say in an earlier blog that the end of November/December is the time to judge us and I'll stick by that, however we do need a change in fortune. We need someone to find the back of the net on a consistent basis.
 
I agree we've had some difficult games and if I'm honest I wasn't expecting...

The most pleasing aspect of Jack Rodwell’s first interview following his maiden England call-up came right at the end.

There was no disguising his exhilaration and rarely has a first-team player been so keen to sit down for the evertontv cameras.

There are a number of individuals, groups...

Well, I’ll be honest, I really didn’t think the start of this blog would be about a new signing and I certainly didn’t think it would be about James McFadden!

I’ll say it straight away, I am a big fan of Faddy, always have been and always will be. He is a player that divides opinions. You either like him or...
