  • Still the best Everton podcast

    I’ve been listening to the lads at The Blue Room for years now. They’re consistently there with thoughtful, passionate takes on whatever’s happening when it comes to the highs and lows of supporting this infuriating club.

    Matt and Paddy are especially welcome on a Tuesday - often once the dust has settled - with their forensic analysis of where things went right - or more often than not, wrong.

    Keep doing what you’re doing boys. And thanks for the company and help when it comes to deconstructi... more

  • Dreadful people

    First ones to call out fans from other clubs with regard to poverty / tragedy chanting.

    Then, they all sit around giggling calling one of their own players a refugee.

    What a horrible group of people you are.

  • Painful

    Where did you find this John Fella? His opinion on England and England fans was absolutely pathetic. Believe it or not some of us support the national team of our birth. You’d think international football was a completely different sport to the one you watch every week

    He also compared KDH to Jeff Darmer. Yeah no thanks lads

  • Whinging Blues

    Ref this ref that, just not good enough lads…

    Grealish is a diving cheat, jug ears is a yard dog and Dewsbury Hall wasn’t taking a ‘quick’ free kick, the yard dogs were sent up, he didn’t wait for the whistle…TWICE, schoolboy stuff.

    No 🏆 since 1995…
