Boxing Day football. A 40,000 plus gate for a home game against opponents from the North West brings back unfortunate memories … My first Boxing Day at Roker Park. We’re second placed and it looks like being a promotion season. (more…)
Who are you? We’re Everton
ToffeeWeb, the much-admired independent site for supporters of Everton, has a hard centre but softer heart. Lyndon Lloyd‘s instinctive response when approached by us to preview Saturday’s clash between Sunderland and Everton was to say : “Sorry, we don’t do these things.
