He didn’t look that great at 29.
Wonder if he got his teeth sorted.

…to take Everton to the top [of the bottom half of the table], which is where they deserve to be.

Rude. I think you mean top of the bottom 65% of the table.
#8thplacefc
The top of the teams who failed to qualify for Europe
I was going to correct you because of the Europa League and Conference League spots, but then I realised that:
- Spurs still have a route to winning the League Cup (which I hope we’ll end on Thursday)
- We’re still in the 4th round of the FA Cup
- Other English teams may yet win the Europa League and Conference League
So anything can happen, folks!
All I know is that he’s going to be made a meme
You are being a bit too kind there.

To be fair, 8th would be a real accomplishment for Moyes this season. Maybe less so when he had done it six seasons in a row

I know it’s the bluenoses but I like stories like this:

My father was a football fanatic although a fervent red so I used to go with him to Goodison as well as Anfield. We used to sit in the Upper Bullens and my abiding memory is everyone stamping on the boards whenever Everton had a corner. We had to keep very quiet when opponents scored though 
I grew up listening to my Dad telling stories about these two.
Just listening now to Rushie talking about his trips to Goodison as a young blue.
So many of our local born greats were blues…
I hadn’t realised Adam Lallana was one though.

Should be ‘die hard blue’…?
Maybe although I understand the meaning to be…
The meaning of DIE-HARD is strongly or fanatically determined or devoted.
Seems a long time ago now but in the 50s we lived in their shadow… 7 seasons in Division 2 was painful for him.
@Rambler sorry, was having trouble understanding why two reds would be going to Goodison so assumed that was a typo, I think I get it now
Edit: and you used die-hard correctly lol

As a very young kid, my mate was a Bluesnose and I was a Red… We would often go along to the boys pen at Goodison…
Two things I remember…
- How brightly ginger the hair on the head of Alan Ball was…
- It was a brutal place to be… Imagine being in a playground where every other kid in there, was a classic school bully… as in give us your dinner money, and give us it now, or we will beat you up…! We used to go as often as possible, probably because at the time, football, and the needing to watch it, ran through every vein in your body, no matter your age…! We soon learnt though… take no money with ya, be willing to turn your pockets out when told… and things were not so bad - It was seeing football on the pitch that mattered most :0)
