Hello Lyndon. A number of us are a little worried about unfamiliar goings on back at Toffeeweb Towers. Hope all is good with you.

Oh, match preview: 2-1 to us!

Ditto what Paul Ferry says Lyndon.

We appreciate the site. Maybe a bit of clarity would help.

So here we are in The Now - Bluetiful Cosmic Grooves All The Way - Think Bridge Man and Catch The Blue Rays

Well, this is an impressive crowd. I feel like Shecky Green following Sinatra at the Sands.

Lyndon, it is a pleasant surprise to see you run your own space. I hope the creative space outweighs the added work for you. I am committed to behaving myself here, just getting that out there.

UTFT! Up the Moyes!

There, I said and I meant it but not a great line.

Lovely to bump into you again Dale!

This must be the place

Ee bah gum. It's like 1892 all over again

Excuse me... (tiptoeing in the side door)... is this The New Place?

Mazel tov, Lyndon. Nice decor. Bit more highbrow than the last place.

Now to find a comfy chair...

Hi Lyndon - and everyone else.

Exciting times with our "new" manager and this spanking ne website / forum.

Wow, this is like the Bramley Moor Dock of Everton online news!

Long time toffeeweb reader but never contributed or commented.

However I had to follow Lyndon’s writing and general good sense to Evertonia.

Best of luck Lyndon

Good luck with the new site Lyndon. Good luck today all Evertonians. I'll try to get a stream here in Malaysia, I believe that we can do well today.

I sort of feel like I just sold my home. All the best for Evertonia Lyndon!

Liam, I guess I must be having fun….
Hi everyone - I’m just getting set to begin possibly my last FA cup day at Goodison Park - hoping for a grand day out!
UTFT

Self-edit feature Lyndon? Home page is classy.

So is everyone coming over to here now?

Naive Melody Liam - 6 - I got it mate.

Hewey, Lyndon, or this Roy fella, duh .

Don't be rube PF. Doesn't suit you 😁

Only positive vibes though Paul H!
Talking of vibes, George McKane, any relation to Buick??
UTFT

Congratulations Lyndon, a classy site, good to see familiar faces too, let's make it a brilliant day all round with a great win!

3-0 win. No problem

Was hoping to be the young, cool dude who arrives late to the party with a gorgeous brunette on each arm.
Unfortunately, I'm no longer young, never really been cool and appear to have misplaced the aforementioned brunettes...
So I'll just say hello, wish Lyndon the best of luck, then retire to the kitchen with the other saddo's

Best wishes Lyndon.

Here we go blues. FA Cup day

I'm another TW rebel moving to this site. Tough decision to leave but what it boils down to is real articles and discussions instead of ChatGPT and Bot written ones! No choice really, I'm sure you all feel the same. A new look home for a new look Everton (from the Summer anyway). Hi everyone and Lyndon UTFT!

Once there was Twitter which became X and then there was Blue Sky
Once there was Toffee Web and then there was Evertonia. Looking forward to reading Lyndon's writings here (and others)
Change is constant but wherever we lay our hats the main thing is we deal with this pesky south coast club "bogey" today and proceed to the Round 5

Hello blues,
Positive vibes.
I love fa cup.

Hi All
Looking for somewhere to discuss all things Everton on a regular basis 👍

Good luck with the new website.
I'm curious to watch what happens ( and what happened) on toffeeweb and still wondering about MK.

I think the LF is open on this site. Need to check it out

I think this will buddy up well with Toffee web...
And I see George has posted his vibes already...
What's not to like:)

Hi Lyndon - good luck with Evertonia mate - and just like all good hairdressers - your clientele seems to have followed you 😊

Here's to bright new futures. Thanks for all you do Lyndon [and do so damn well].

Come on you blues!

Moving? from TW with you all but hoping that DM doesn't get so much stick from MK or Members on here - at least not until there is something he deserves it for. Bygones are bygones, let us deal with the present as we have turned over a new page. Hopefully.

I wish you all the luck on the world Lyndon and that all the hard work that must have gone on and is going on is rewarded.

Thanks for setting tis site up Lyndon.

Though as others have said, it's like moving house. Fortunately, it is akin to moving from a two-up, two down, to a lovely three bed detached with garage, in the countryside.

I Love the layout of the new site, and it is great to George McKane being with us, and all the other trouble makers!

👍💙🫡 Hello everybody! Just when you thought it was safe to enter the forum! ** Cue Jaws music **

McGuffog!!

Just when I thought I'd escaped, you drag me back in! Hehe

"Hellow" mon ami

Happy Bathams, Simon.

Congrats on the new site Lyndon. I echo what Dan said #11 in appreciating your writing. 2-0 to us today and hopefully a scintillating cameo from Alcaraz UTFT

Well played Mark! He is no Slider.

And fantastic to see you Paul, where I may respond when my chain gets yanked.

If you're not allowed to raise your arms against an opponent then why was that Citteh defender not carded ?

Best of luck in your new venture Lyndon.

Crikey! I had to sign up via 3 different email a/cs before I could get activated - is this a ploy to boost membership numbers?

What happened to TW? TFG taken over & had a clean sweep?
Is it going the same way as bluekipper?

Wotcher folks, btw!

Onwards to victory!

Afternoon all. Who’s going to start the fish puns?

Ray, is it the right plaice for those :)

Hope there's plenty of parking around this new site.

Good luck Lyndon

Looks like we're all making the transition.

Free parking to the west of the new stadium, Mick!

Coyb

Odd not to be on TW

Good afternoon fellow Blues, 2-0, well done Lyndon, start of a new era.

Good afternoon Lyndon. Nice to be with you and all fellows Toffees. For what it's worth, I'm not particularly impressed with new Toffeeweb content so far and look forward to continue engaging here.

Meantime...COYB - EFC 2 - 0 B'mouth, will suit me.

So. This is the site for people to have a bloody good moan, yes ?
Might I be first then to say :
Ffs
Shit
Tarks wtf
Game over
Just getting warmed up

Good morning everybody, well it is here in Florida. Going to be another hot day.
Hope somebody has a good link for a streaming site and we have a good game and a better win.

Young replaces Myk

Strong side that fingers crossed for a good 2-0 win Beto brace

Not sure what has happened with Toffeeweb, or why. Nobody on the 'old' Toffeeweb Forum (unless I am doing something wrong). Is this the new place to be on Match Day?

Myko not on bench, 2 keepers again
New lad will be gagging for a bit of this..hope he gets minutes..
Cmon Charly, make yourself known

Feels like when I switched from Twatter to Bluesky!
Hello everyone!
UTFT

Hello strangers!

tough one this today. Bournemouth are a decent outfit.

Glad you crossed over, Gerry. Breakfast almost ready?

Brunch good and done, Mike

It feels a bit like when your favourite local pub is taken over by new owners, only to find that the previous owners have opened an even better one closer to home.

Where's our free pints?

Can't get used to this yet - looks totally different and have to refresh each time

Did everyone see that pub in Nottingham that offered a free beer for every goal scored by Forest - they won 7-0 and almost put the pub out of business!

Good to be here, all the best Lyndon. Hopefully Evertonia will be to Toffeeweb what Bluesky is to Twitter - a nicer, happier, more positive place. If Moysie carries on as he’s started it should be….

Been a Toffeeweb reader since the late 90s, but never post much. Liking the look of this. New look Evertonia/New look Everton. COYB!

Yep, Gerry, this is a refreshing change! (Clicking again.)

Can I be the first to mention DCL? Oh, converstaion over!

There is no EIDT ETID DITE EDIT fatilicy, facility, Lyndon

I hope I am saying “ thank you David Moyes” again at 5-ish. COYB (please).

Blimey, you wait years for a takeover, and they all come along at once.

We are totally safe, Matt, it is not a BK takeover

Khalid Ahsein Editorial Team and Roy 'the Goodison Park'. I far for Toffeeweb.

Matt, it took me months to adjust to 2% milk. All this change is way more than I can handle.

How much have you had to drink, PF??????

First, great site Lyndon, thanks.
I’m messaging from Bangkok at present, back to Cyprus March and UK July hoping to see my stone at Everton Way. So, I need your site to follow everything blue.
I don’t think we will win the FA cup this year, probably one of the ‘big’ clubs but watch out guys we are on our way now.

If anybody needs beesport is working

Good afternoon, and thanks Lyndon! Unfortunately not too optimistic about this one, Bournemouth has done really well, a well-run club with a good manager and are very much the form team (only the ref knows why they lost to Liverpool), and I guess we'll never meet a defense as generous as Leicester's again this season. That said, we played them off the park for 70 minutes until Dyche took off Ndiaye and DCL. So if the guys get into the groove from that match, this should be a good one. Go for it!

We're still in this.

Is this the moany aul git forum and before anyone says it Yes I will fit in well. Hello everyone.

Not updating - obvious issues!

If I could offer to help I would, but am technically challenged

Anyone out there?

Reidy has the best collection of hats since Bogart.

Forum seems very quiet

What a ball by Branthwaite to launch that move.

Penalty to them!

Pen on Tarks.

0-1. Lyndon, obviously this site is not effective.

It seems to be just you and I on this Mike!

With no VAR, Everton get done by none penalty and no offside. Charly warming up to redress the balance.

You did make me breakfast, Gerry. I'm as loyal as a puppy.

Who is Charly?

Carlos Alcaraz

Greetings Lyndon and a reiteration of my thanks and appreciation for Toffeeweb.
I remember Evertonia.com I used to log into it through Netscape when I was a student at Dundee Uni in their I T suite in the 1990s.
Back to the future!
Back to match, the lads are fighting back not lying down. Viva Moyesey! UTFT.

Hello all. I too have deserted the good ship SS Toffeeweb and joined the happy band here. Thanks to Lyndon and co. for all they did at TW Towers. I have been a member for many years and a sometime commenter and am thoroughly grateful for all they did.

How are we doing?

This is driving me insane - don't seem to be too many here and having to refresh all the time - sure that Lyndon will eventually sort this out though

Bournemouth coasting at the moment. They are winning nearly every second ball. Productive possession. No one smiles better than Tarkowski after fucking up.

Hello all... the party seems to have moved next door?

Refs a proper knobhead

Peter Moore - I did exactly the same thing only at Adelaide Uni!
Grounds a bit frustrated…

Total screwup at the back again.

Tarks has found our self destruct-button, wtf was that

Pickford and Tarks gifted a 2nd

Totally on Tarks. Again. He's having a disaster.

Knobhead Tarkowski. Smiles. We/Moyes getting schooled here.

May I come also although news from Goodison not good.

Moyes is playing it canny - we give them a 2 goal lead and then after the 87th minute we score 3

Tarkowski shocking. Very poor first half. Pity there’s no VAR….

Pull up a stool, Neil. Seems like we'll all be drinking early today.

Too many sloppy individual errors especially from Tarks who thinks he's Paolo Maldini after his assist for Beto against Leicester. Hopefully someone gives him a slap and tell him to stop being a c**t

10 shots to our paltry 2 - did we bring Dyche on for Moyes?

Thanks Mike but looks well be drowning our sorrows rather than looking forward to an FA Cup run. Unless of course we do a Bournemouth on it.

Thanks for granting access Lyndon.

Be honest folks, is anyone surprised? How often in the past did Moyes have a good league run then meekly surrender in the cup? That said, Bournemouth despite size and past reputation are a force to be reckoned with now. But come on Moyesy surprise us and turn it around at halftime

Disastrous performance. Huge mistakes from not only Tarkowski but Lindstrom, Gana, O'Brien, Branthwaite and Beto -- some we got away with, some we didn't. And Moyes is gonna need a plan B in attack, because Bournemouth has thoroughly scouted those through balls to Beto and they've got him covered fore and aft.

Got to be some attacking changes made to roll the dice if we've got any chance of getting back into this.

Sub Tarks for Dixon put him to RB and push O'Brien into the centre back role, get Charly on for Doucs

Mike re your suggestions on our ideal replacement for Dyche on TW, would they have taken on a relegation battle with an Everton Team with no confidence.
I wouldnt mind the Iraola in todays opposition dug out.

Not coping at all with their press. They were so must more robust than us in the first half. Don't see an obvious game changer on the bench, certainly not Harrison. Maybe Charly boy?

Hadnt realised the live forum is here too: well done!

Message from Anjishnu and Khalid
"Today marks a momentous and proud occasion for us as we become custodians of this iconic football site. We are committed to leading ToffeeWeb into an exciting new era both on and off the pitch. Providing immediate stability to the site has been a key priority, and we are delighted to have achieved this. While restoring ToffeeWeb to its rightful place will take time, today is the first step in that journey.”

Neil, I thought Sarri would have been perfect, still do. That craggy old bird is a tremendous motivator and loves a challenge. I don't know if he'd have taken the job, but I was very much hoping he'd be asked.

It has been over 30 minutes since Everton last attempted a shot in this game.

Gerry it's been longer than that since we put in a decent ball.

"While restoring ToffeeWeb to its rightful place will take time"

I think it was in great shape until they took over.

Usual Everton gifts.

Daniel Jebbison's record v Everton. He has scored two in two against the Toffees, both at Goodison, after netting here for Sheffield United in 2021 in the league.

He's only netted 14 goals in his career.

Kieran, mate, it's a modified TFG statement.

How much time does Moyes need to make subs?

Well, it's their first week, Kieran. Not an easy thing to come in and take over a legend. Maybe the stodgy writing will improve with time.

LOL

Wasn't that Numpty Trumpty getting rid of ToffeeWeb was it?

They make a change before us, And look who it is.

Charly!

We are getting battered.

Let's see if this kid can crack a free kick.

Oh can he ever!!! Inches from instant legend.

Charly almost an instant Goodison hero with a great free kick

Good to be back. We're having bad luck here, should be level

How did we not score there?

Maybe in the Summer Mike

THREE off the post in the past five minutes.

Hell of a second-half performance after that Tarkowski special in the first. Alcaraz already looking like the replacement we need for Doucoure.

The Bournemouth goal living a charmed life

Close, and the the post! Finally some energy! Unfortunate

Harrison has put in four great crosses and drawn a foul since he came on. Another guy with a new jolt of confidence from Moyes.

Lovely drft touch from Charly for Tim

Our best striker is on.

Great skills from Tim

Knobhead ref

Kernel falls over and the twat buys it and books Ndiaye to boot, what a twat in the black

How long to go?

Such a shame the last ever FA Cup match at the Grand Old Lady is a loss

Ahh well

At least we had a bit of fight in the second half. Woeful in the first 45

Can't wait till Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!1 AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tough loss but very encouraged by that second half.

There's palpable improvement. We looked very good in the second half and on another day those post shots are goals.

Despite the loss, I'd argue things are still looking up.

UTFT

Big improvement in the 2nd half, but the first half was a disaster and the damage was done. A bit unlucky not to score, but our attacking limitations are still quite obvious to see. Thought Harrison was good after coming on.

Just checking I can get into this site? Presumably the daily exchanges will be here?

Hope Lyndon got a few quid for Toffeeweb !!!
Hello again !!

Didn’t see the game but listened to the second half. What went so wrong in the first half?
Any views on Alcaraz and Tim?

Loved that second half, apart from the not scoring bit.

Alcaraz looked very lively - him, Ndiaye, Tim and Harrison made us look like a proper front foot team. That free kick

Much better 2nd half but the calamitous 1st half sealed our fate.

Charly looked like he'll be an exciting player and came close to a glorious debut goal, Tim had a few close efforts and Harrison whipped some good balls in.

Generally a poor team performance.

Pickford was OK
O'Brien - worse game yet
Tarks - A day to forget
Jarrad - Not at his best?
Young - tried, but... No end product
Garner - went from above average to poor back to above average
Gueye - grew into the game
Lindstrøm - very poor and ineffective today
Doucoure - The sooner that Charly is given a run the better
Ndiaye - Mercurial but cut a frustrated figure
Beto - Why did we go back to lumping the ball up to him?

Charly - Unlucky with the free kick, seemed over anxious today
Harrison - best game in a long time
Iroegbunam - Two good chances, seemed to be rushing, fitness maybe?
Keane - Too little too late

All in all it was just a very much below par performance. Maybe the Cherries do have a hoodoo over us? Personally, I think the players just went into their shells too much today. Instructions maybe? Bournemouth shown too much respect?

What a shame for the Old Lady to host her last FA Cup game, with that display from our lot.

Quietly fuming here, I'm off for a cuppa!

Horrible to think that is it in the FA Cup at Goodison but the big positive is that we were good to watch flowing forward in the second half. Tarkowski was ruffled by Semenyo's power and technique first half and his mistakes gave us a mountain to climb. We didn't manage it but gave it a really good go, and have to take that into the Derby.

Well, all things considered we shouldn't be too unhappy with the result. We have got a thin squad and an extended cup run is not really our most important concern, whilst it would have been nice, our main objective is Prem League safety this season, so I am not too unhappy this went their way.

It wasn't a good performance all round, particularly from Tarks, Gana, Lindstrom and Duke (was he playing?). I look forward to further progress in the League though.

Seemed like the manager, crowd and team all had one eye on Wednesday.
Here's hoping the meek surrender first half is not to be repeated, quite the opposite please lads.
Let's put out illegitimate bastard offspring in their place and send them back to our ground with the tails between their hind quarters those vile devil dogs. UTFT. NSNO.

Lyndon,any chance we could have a jump to last post option as o Toffeeweb?

Where am I ?!
So this is my new home.

Disappointing today. But the new lad looks bright.

A few have mentioned that today's game is the last F.A. Cup match at Goodison. Well, if the season pans out the way it might, this week's Derby match against Liverpool could be the last evening match...at least of the 7.30 pm version. The only other ones that might get rescheduled are those that haven't been changed for TV purposes but are likely to be Sat midday, Sat 5.30 pm or Sunday games

Times are changing

Where is the match report on this site? Already posted on TW.

I’ve no doubt that’ll be an AI generated report Roger. Great if that’s your thing but I’d rather wait for a real person to post one tbh.

Didn't Jebbison score against us for Sheffield Utd? Go in at H/T just the 1 down, different game.

Roger, there won't be an instantaneous match report here like there is at ToffeeWeb (and theirs will be written by a human, not AI) but I will be posting a full report like I used to later today.

For regular news and more instant match reportage, TW is still the place to go.

Any news on Mykolenko? Not even on the bench today. Really hoping he does not have a long term injury. Left back berth a weak spot in this thin squad.

Hi Lyndon

I'm a long term TW lurker, but never a member. Just to say that I'm pleased that you are here. I realised that something was afoot at TW and missed you there. The reason I always visited TW was to read your erudite, fair and balanced reporting. I don't know anyone else who writes as well as you on matters Everton

So good luck, I hope that your new venture picks up readers quickly. I'm sure that it will too as more and more realise where you've moved to

Best wishes
Pete

ps I'm nearly 65 years a Blue. My first game at Goodison was as a nine year old, versus Leeds in April 1960. I've had some truly amazing days at Goodison, and Wembley too, over the years. I've seen 4 league titles won, three when I had a season ticket, and 3 FA cup wins too. The most memorable atmosphere of them all was the Bayern Munich game in 1985, although there have been plenty similar over the years. There is nowhere like Goodison

I know that Lyndon has a lot on his plate, but I do hope in due course that the 'no need to refresh' function is restored to the forum and also that jump to the end button!

Best of luck Lyndon!

Kieran Dowell is having a good game against the skunks.

Back from the match and onto new site!
Definitely a game of two halves.
First half best forgotten, but definitely vast improvement once Alcaraz came on. He looks very promising. Gave us some impetuous.
Not result we wanted but I can see a glimmer of hope for the future. I no longer dread going to the match!

Roger Helm 169: Where is the match report on this site? Already posted on TW.

Jesus Roger these are the first days of a one-man-blue operation. Why don't you write one? Do you think that Lyndon spends his entire day on Evertonia and pays someone to take care of all the needs of the family?

LL has always put up a report a little while after the final whistle. Michael always took care of the instant reaction.

Go for a walk and read it later or pop off to Toffeeweb and read the report again as I see that although you chide LL for the lack of a report you did not post on the other match thread.

Lynn M, I thought that all three subs made a big difference. Harrison was the best of the three.

Wow! Verbruggen! That will be on the top keeper howlers for a long time to come. He threw it into the net.

They did Paul. I mentioned Alcaraz as he is the new boy, so to speak.

That's fair Lynn and you're right. I wasn't trying to have a dig, I was just so pleasantly surprised by Harrison that I'm banging his drum tonight!

Lovely new forum, same old blues. Give goals away cheaply, lose game.

Frustrating, as it was obvious we needed to get to ht at 0-1 but needlessly conceded.

At 0-1, it could have well been a more intense and successful 2nd half. Hopefully Wednesday brings better.

Best of luck Lyndon with this new venture. I hope contributors give you the space to develop this site and the encouragement to build this site. Best of luck lad.

Frustrating way to pose today and the end of the FAC at Goodison Park.

Good and some very bad play today, and Everton contrived to serve up 2 free goals.

But good spirit in the 2nd half which will be needed next week v Old Nicks team.for 98 minutes.

UTFTs!

Hearty Rahs to Mr Lloyd for this ‘ere new thing. Shame about the result today. Hopefully we have saved ourselves for the midweek game. Thought the new fella looked promising.

I'm flicking between both sites at the moment.

After a long day, I'm going to reflect before. Writing anything up, which I will submit for consideration on both sites tomorrow (Sunday).

I think we all mostly witnessed the same match today (or yesterday as it is now).

Not bad but the better team won albeit with a bit of luck with the posts. Fast in midfield with good pressing Everton lost it in the first half having few answers.

Bournemouth are a good outfit. They hammered Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. Beaten fair and square.

Mistakes and bad luck.
That’s a very bad combination. Nothing good comes from it.

My God, they've got ANOTHER TRENT!

Glad to be joining and happy to see Liverpool knocked out of the cup as part of my first ever comment on here!

Glad to be joining and happy to see Liverpool knocked out of the cup as part of my first ever comment on here!

Liverpool out of the cup. But we can’t take advantage of that. As we are also out. Beaten by our boogie Woogie team, bloody Bournemouth. Just when the path to Wembley could maybe open up, we balderdash everything up. Can’t blame Moyes for this bunch of players not turning up (first half). And we can’t blame Moyes for our few missed chances.
Aw well, roll on next season, and go again.

Just hope that Moyes is taking a real good look at these players. And I just hope that he is realising the players that just cannot be relied on, to get the job done.
That of course should be a given that managers know their better players. Should be a given that managers know the duds. But it isn’t always a given. Remember Dyche’s reluctance to change things. Let’s hope that Moyes knows exactly when to chop and change. That’s a pet hate with me, managers that take an age to change something that is not working.

Anyhow, good luck to this new Evertonia site. I tend to flit between a few Everton sites. Don’t usually comment, so please excuse this ramble.
Good luck to the mighty Everton, against that wee team we are playing next week. Just turn up.
Then get up a head of steam for when we play Palace on Saturday. Let’s rock and roll.
May the footballing gods be looking down on us next week.
6/1 Everton to beat that wee team on Wednesday. Might have a wee punt. Good night folks. Up the Toffees.

Tranquility Base here..the Toffee has landed . we have a bunch of guys about to turn Blue here.

Thanks Lyndon for this site. Have seen many names whose contributions I enjoyed reading over the years, look forward to reading many more.

Great one, Liam!

Bournemouth were the ideal opponents NOT to play on Saturday! Given that Beto was going to be the focus of our attack and probably will be for the near future, Moyes is going to have to find creative ways to create scoring opportunities. 

Against a much weaker Leicester last week we were able to play safely out from the back into midfield and then find good forward passes for Beto to run onto and score. Against Bournemouth it was clear from the first minute we were not going to have the same time and space to do that. Bournemouth must be one of the best high pressing teams in the division.

Add to that Bournemouth main pressers are super fast and very well organised by Areola, then playing out from the back was always going to be a disaster. All of our back 4 need 2 or 3 touches to control the ball and play forward passes.

On Saturday Areola might have told his pressers to let Tarks or Branthwaite have the ball and then attack them. Unfortunately other coaches may have seen that and do likewise. As soon as it became obvious that we could not play out from the back into midfield the first half Pickford and others started pinging the ball at Beto where it rarely stuck.

In the second half  with a few changes in personal Beto did manage to bring Alcaraz and Tim I. Into the game and we went onto to unluckily hit the woodwork. In Gana, Garner and Doucs we have 3 capable but one pace players who were found out by Bournemouth's pacey  midfield and full backs.

It will be interesting to see who Moyes picks on Wednesday and if Liverpool press like Bournemouth. Trying to remember how the RS play, I don't think they are a high pressing team and may suit us better than Bournemouth.

Hopefully Myko is back and Moyes is brave enough to give Alcaraz a start in place of Doucs? Moyes like Dyche really likes having Doucs running around in midfield.
