Crime 101 was fun and had me hooked throughout. Love me a really good heist film. Great cast, score, and plenty of tense action. Also, the world needs more Halle Berry.

Ok, Gav!

Eric, thanks for the kind words. I believe Moyes wants what is best for Everton—he just has a different view of how to do it that’s concerning in the medium/long term for me. Ultimately the kind of club we’re hoping to become won’t need any manager who exerts outsized control over the vision/plan.

@albabycakes.bsky.social Loved the pod as usual. Felt like the Chet analysis was a bit harsh. Totally get you on impacting more offensively, but his overall defensive impact was pretty massive last night or am I imagining that? Spurs were forced into a bunch of of uncomfortable midrange looks.

Plenty of logic in suggesting the market for Everton will soften as we get closer to the deadline. But that doesn’t guarantee anything. Up to TFG to ultimately find a way as no one will accept “market forces” as an excuse if the glaring squad issues aren’t addressed. #EFC

TFG’s slow, methodical recruitment approach may certainly result in a much improved squad by the end of the window. But it’s ultimately their job to prove it, not your job to blindly espouse faith. I hope for the best and hope they get it right. Proof will be in signings. #EFC

While you wait on Everton to make more signings, remember that it is TFG’s responsibility to validate your optimism in the form of tangible improvement to the squad. It is NOT your job to carry water for them by telling everyone that slow business is a sign of their acumen. #EFC

🇺🇸 See you in Chicago, Toffees!

🎙️ @mattjfootball.bsky.social and @paddyboyland.bsky.social will be hosting a live Byline podcast with @therobvera.bsky.social and Mark Mosey ahead of the friendly with West Ham next week.

All the details you need below👇 #EFC

It’s only a mostly meaningless preseason friendly, but O’Brien on the bench in favor of Keane already is triggering, no lie. #EFC

You’re forgiven, Chad! Also, Rodger translated my rant into an eloquent summary of my case against Keane. It’s not the end of the world, I’ll get over it. Just don’t like giving more money to bad players when you don’t absolutely have to.

I podcast for my fans, first and foremost. #EFC

Thunder title secured. Title parade finished. Now I can give my full, undivided attention to Love Island USA. 🇺🇸

Can look back at this exchange now (which feels like weeks ago now) and smile. We f’ing did it, guys. Title parade got me feeling full of gratitude tonight!

I mean, it’s ok to be depressed when your team loses at this stage. But certainly it’s got to come with a healthy dose of big picture perspective, absolutely. But man, we’re a great team about to get G7 of The FINALS at our place. I’d say that’s a helluva good thing in the grand scheme.

I feel that. To put a finer point on it, yesterday was my 46th birthday. Less than ideal! But the older I get, the less strength I have to go full doom. If this team falls short, it’ll be because they just weren’t ready. It’ll hurt but it won’t change my optimism about the future. Clinging to that.

Like, I get it. It hurts to lose like that. But the whole reason G5 was so pivotal was to guarantee us THIS opportunity to play in a place where we’ve been historically great. Of course we can lose, but I just can’t get into the doom and gloom.

We were badass all season just so we could play a game 7 of the Finals at home. Man, if you can’t get behind this team in THAT arena in this situation, I don’t know what to tell ya.

And so it begins! Transfer Show available NOW in all the usual places. Gonna be a weird and wacky summer at Everton… #EFC

Did similar which helps with the continuity but they spend PLENTY of time at the start basically recapping Part 1.

The new Mission Impossible was so intense and so over the top and self aware and fun and and silly and badass and full of the best stunt work you can imagine by a huge movie star and thus, I didn’t care if it was a bit too long. Popcorn pleasure escapism, yall. Go enjoy!

New ownership, new stadium, no fresh PSR concerns! TWO summer windows?! Damn right, the return of @theblueroomefcpod.bsky.social Transfer Podcast is nigh! #EFC

The exceedingly obvious first domino of the summer window(s) has fallen for Everton. From the fit to the performances to the fee, it always felt like a bizarre rhetorical exercise to explain why Alcaraz somehow wouldn’t end up moving to Everton permanently. Great start. #EFC

The Thunder making 27 shots outside the paint, out of 53 attempts, is ridiculous.

I don't think people understand how crazy that number of makes on jump shots is.

OKC averaged 19.0 made field goals per game outside of the paint during the regular season; NBA teams averaged 17.2

FT: Newcastle 0-1 Everton. The Blues finish the season off strong w/3 straight victories—this one being easily the biggest surprise. Great performances all around, but particularly Alcaraz and Pickford who simply wouldn’t be denied today. A genuinely exciting summer ahead! #EFC

CHARLY F’ING ALCARAZ! #EFC
