The Blue Room - Everton FC Podcast

Not-so-fresh from a visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night, Matt and Paddy convene to pick through a frustrating 1-1 draw with West Ham United. We look at the big issues that emerged from the game, as the Blues became the worst version of themselves across the pitch. How big a problem are the two full-backs and the two centre-forward options? Moyes’ handling of the new players is also analysed, as well as the ridiculous recent bookings for Dewsbury-Hall.

It's a Good Times first as we embark on a three-parter, as warranted in a season that delivers two points deductions, the death of the chairman, a doomed takeover, and an actual derby win (in front of fans and everything.) Some important questions are posed here in part one. The main one: is Kevin Thelwell really trying to spell out DYCHE with the initials of his summer signings? This episode is in association with The Excelsior. Our next Good Times Pub Quiz takes place there on 23 October 2025. Thanks to Sean Ponzini and Gary Lunt for their contributions. UTFT. Learn more about your ad choices.
