    Goodison Park’s future decided as historical ground set to stay

    Goodison Park is set to become the home of Everton Women in a move that will retain the club’s presence in its historic home. The men’s team will play its final game at the Grand Old Lady on Sunday, ending 133 years of footballing heritage before the club moves to a new state-of-the art home on the Liverpool waterfront. Thousands of supporters will line the surrounding streets to welcome the players ahead of the game against Southampton and celebrations will continue on the pitch after the final whistle. The game will no longer mark the end of competitive football at the Goodison Road site, however, after the results of a feasibility study conducted by the club paved the way for the women’s team move. Join Ian Croll, Connor O’Neill and Tony Scott for the Wednesday edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they discuss the latest news coming out of Everton.  Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:  https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here: https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

    Everton stun Fulham as Goodison farewell draws closer

    Everton produced a spectacular comeback to defeat Fulham 3-1 at Craven Cottage in glorious sunshine by the Thames after being on the back foot for most of the first 45 minutes. A powerful header from Raul Jimenez on 17 minutes put the hosts in front and they continued to boss proceedings for the lion’s share of the first half before the Blues got back into the contest with a slice of good fortune when Vitalii Mykolenko’s deflected shot deceived Bernd Leno. Everton went ahead on 70 minutes when substitute Dwight McNeil’s corner-kick was headed in at the back post by Michael Keane, who had come into the side as one of four changes, before Beto completed the turnaround three minutes later as his shot proved too hot to handle for Leno. ​Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas and Dan Haygarth for the Monday edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they react to the 3-1 win against Fulham.  Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:  https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here: https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Before the match a special coach welcome will be organised to welcome the players. That is set to be organised by the 1878s supporters' group, which held one spectacular final display in the stands ahead of the draw with Ipswich Town last Saturday. Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas a guest Damian Kennedy for the Friday edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they look ahead to Fulham away and discuss Goodison Park’s final game.

    Dave Watson Special: Everton’s most-recent trophy-winning captain | Goodison Park: My Home

    Dave Watson, Everton’s most-recent trophy-winning captain, is Chris Beesley’s latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home. The centre-half was the Blues’ skipper when they defeated Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United side 1-0 in the 1995 FA Cup final and recalls an incredible story about what happened to the famous silverware that night after the Wembley victory. Scouser Watson, who grew up on Boundary Street, close to the new Everton Stadium, started his professional career across Stanley Park with Liverpool – for whom his brother Alex later played – but never made a first team appearance before joining Norwich City in 1980. While with the Canaries, he made his England debut, winning his first of 12 caps for the Three Lions, in a 2-0 win over Brazil in the Maracana Stadium before lifting the League Cup the following year. He returned to his home city in 1986 when Howard Kendall snapped him up for Everton for a then club record £900,000 fee and was part of their last League Championship-winning side in his first season at Goodison Park. Now 63, Watson made 528 appearances for the Blues – the third highest in history behind Neville Southall (751) and Brian Labone (534) – and also had a stint as caretaker manager in 1997 following Joe Royle’s exit before having a season in charge of Tranmere Rovers in 2001/02 to serve all three of Merseyside’s professional football clubs.

    Everton squander two-goal lead in Ipswich collapse

    Everton threw away a two goal lead against an already relegated Ipswich Town side to be held to a frustrating 2-2 draw in Goodison Park’s penultimate fixture. With a series of spectacular displays in the stands courtesy of fan group the 1878s, the two sides took to the pitch with a ticker tape welcome and the party atmosphere looked like continuing for the hosts. Beto headed David Moyes’ side ahead on 26 minutes and nine minutes later, Dwight McNeil doubled their lead with a strike that left visiting keeper Alex Palmer rooted to the spot. However, an incredible, swerving drive from Julio Enciso four minutes before the interval handed the Suffolk side a lifeline and they shocked the Blues with a headed back post equaliser from substitute George Hirst 11 minutes from the end to earn a share of the spoils. Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley and Gavin Buckland for reaction and debate on the latest Royal Blue Podcast.  Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:  https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here: https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

    Everton frustration against Chelsea as lack of quality options remains clear!

    Everton’s record-breaking wait for a Premier League win at Stamford Bridge continues as they were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea in the west London sunshine. Nicolas Jackson struck the only goal of the contest on 27 minutes when Beto gave up possession cheaply and the Senegal international striker struck a low drive beyond Jordan Pickford. Although the hosts threatened to run riot at that time having dominated the first half, David Moyes’ men, playing their first fixture after their Premier League status had been secured for next season improved as the contest wore on. Abdoulaye Doucoure should have done better with a header just before the break while both Beto and substitute Dwight McNeil were denied in the second half as the visitors searched in vain for an equaliser.
