The Blue Room - Everton FC Podcast

Show Notes

Borneo, Bridewell, Byline - what's the difference?

Matt and Paddy reflect on the loss to Arsenal and the current holding pattern that seems to have been put in place by the ownership uncertainty.

Do Everton have to be this stagnant? Do we have a right to be frustrated at another limp performance at a superior side?

We also check in with the latest goings on at Goodison Park. Everton Women have improved their form there lately, but what does the future hold for the Old Lady?

Another 2-0 defeat, another afternoon of watching Arsenal take corners. On this week’s Blue Monday, we pick apart the Emirates loss and ask how Everton got stuck in this rut: two league wins since March, owners heading for the exit, and some of our brightest young players stuck on the bench. Is there any way out of this malaise, or should we accept we're just mid-table at best?

Who needs Wayne Rooney, when we've got Marcus Bent? Obviously an inferior version of the legendary original, but we didn't have Horne or Cantona for very long in the Good Times Era. It's the one you've all been asking us about, so dive in. So much happened between July and December 2024 that it's a miracle we kept this to 183 minutes. This episode is supported by The Excelsior.
