The derby is never a pleasing watch. But it's a great 3 points and bragging rights around the city. Ed025 regardless of the result, I hope you had a good day.
{Ed025's Note - i did have a good day Ashy, one of our lads had VVD last goal and Liverpool to win 2-1 mate, £905 returns which gets us £225 each so its not all bad.. :)

Nice well done Ed.
20 Apr 2026 02:27:39
Nice day's work @25. Although I bet you'd swap it for a win for your boys. ?
{Ed025's Note - bitter sweet i suppose WDW, years ago i would have been devastated but not so much these days mate..

Ed025 like said to you yesterday no lose situation. You just need to have a good run now and us to finish above villa beating Chelsea in the way to give you 6th spot and us 4th at least with Villa 5th.
If you can get champions league football at a cost of us doing the double over you in the league is bigger picture helps you move on more than beating us.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think we are ready for CL football yet Grino and its too big of an ask now i feel, if we had won yesterday then we had an outside chance but maybe next season with a stronger squad we can make a better fist of it mate..

You could probably buy yourself a new striker with that winnings Ed025
{Ed025's Note - not quite JK but in monetary value thats about what Beto and Barry are worth,saying that Beto works hard for the team but that first chance he had that went for a throw in did make me laugh mate.. :)

Allays a good sport you are Ed025. I was well reserved with a draw. Who do reckon takes the league now btw?
{Ed025's Note - i think a draw would have been fair KC but thats just the way the cookie crumbles mate, i think City win the league now..
19 Apr 2026 22:34:22
Just on that Ed, well done. Would you have rather had the 3 points though.
{Ed025's Note - a few years ago i would have said yes KBL, but the way football is these days mate...SHOW ME THE MOOLAH.. :)
20 Apr 2026 01:28:22
So Ed, how did you feel when it went in? Not sure if "bittersweet" would cover that. Be honest ?.
{Ed025's Note - it was a strange one RF, not so much for me but all the people in the pub watching a 68 year old man in an Everton shirt high fiveing his mates when the winner went in, especially after me doing the the Beto celebration in the middle of the bar when we scored mate.. :)

Cheers Ed25
You are a better gambler than me. I could never bet on teams I support to lose or on the other teams player to do something good. Its why I don't play fantasy anything as well, I got tired of wanting Tom Brady to do well
{Ed025's Note - it was not my bet 42, we all pick a result and a player to score and split any winnings, i done a 1-1 draw and Ndiaye to score mate..

What do you see as the next step for next season to build on the progress this season? Do you see Moyes being there next season? It seems like there are a number of managers who might be available...
{Ed025's Note - yeah WDW i think Moyes will still be in charge next season, hes a bit Marmite with the supporters but he has fulfilled his brief and the plan will be to improve the squad and aim for a little higher each year mate..

Edd25 watching that game it made me think i had gone back to Everton of the 90s Moyes in the dug out a big man up front and the ball being booted up the park by the keeper.
Nothing change has it same old same old David Moyes football genius.
{Ed025's Note - hes not the best of managers Albey but has been brought in to do a job and has fulfilled the brief, we are still a way off from competing at the top table again mate but from where we are now to where we have been for the past few seasons is genuine progress, these things take time..
by the way i deleted your last post because i wont have horrible nasty remarks about other teams posted, it just incites hatred and i dont care if its Everton, UTD or any other team...its just not on..
