The Blue Room - Everton FC Podcast

Ed McCosh climbs aboard the Toffee Time Machine with Dave P to discuss three matches that, between them, capture almost everything it means to follow Everton.

For his league pick, Ed heads back to a bank holiday afternoon when the Blues did their work early and the result was settled by the time most fans had got up for their half-time pint. In the cup, he takes us to a European night when Everton stood firm to secure a memorable win. His wildcard is one every Evertonian will feel - a match that looked lost at the break, followed by a second half that turned despair into delirium.

Ed also explains what each game meant to him, where he was, and why these memories have outlasted everything that came after. Expect tension, nostalgia, and a reminder that with Everton, it’s never over until it’s over.

Strap in, set the dial, and let’s go back in time.

The Invincibles dream is over. Everton lost for the first time this season at home to Chelsea on Saturday. But had it been coming for a few weeks now?

We look at David Moyes’ substitutions after the Christian Norgaard change backfired spectacularly on in the 2-0 defeat. Is he really bad at them? And is he making enough of them?

Then it’s a look at Brighton, who have been the stars of the Premier League this season. Could Everton really ever implement that kind of model? How far away are the Blues from the Premier League’s most modern outfits?

Finally, Paddy provides and update on Josh Wander, who plead guilty to charges of fraud last week.
