Everton v Manchester United
Hello again. Some week that wasn’t it? From the Armstrong bid to Balogun getting off to all the way through to Moyes admitting he’s never spoken once to Dan Friedkin it’s been a real page turner, even...

Judging by Moyes' press conference today it sounds like we have two new rights backs... Welcome to the club Craig Patterson and Jimmy Gardener!
Best thing about friendlies is being able to bring the whole family. Loved showing off the ground to my clan today. Plenty of positives on the pitch too. Can't wait for the season to start now!
Away in Lanzarote, just having first beer and spotted this on the wall!
I actually enjoyed the trip to Stoke last night. Pre season is all about visiting random grounds and catching up with mates. Enough signs of positivity on the pitch with KDH, George, Armstrong and Hackney linking up well too. The squad is very thin, hopefully that will get sorted soon.
Looking forward to tomorrow and seeing if Hayden can HACKney it on a Tuesday night in Stoke...
I was lucky enough to have a meeting with @andyburnham.bsky.social earlier this year. Had I known he was going to be our next Prime Minister, I may have said something more profound to him than "Up the Toffees!"
Amazing day at HDS today. Definitely have seat envy of whoever sits on row 27 of block 3, absolutely belting view.
New signing wearing the new shirt is the stuff organised, professional well run clubs do...promising signs, onwards and upwards! #utft
Everton have archived my digital season ticket already, hopefully the team haven't given up on the season yet! #coyb

Bank holiday footy at Curzon Ashton and get chance to check out George Pickford playing for Southport.
Get in there. Denton and Gorton is Green. We do things differently here 💚
Felt very privileged to meet @andyburnham.bsky.social and the local Denton and Gorton by-election candidate, Angeliki Stogia tonight. They are both super smart, driven by the right values and passionate about improving our area. Fingers crossed they can inspire a positive outcome next week.
Some of the divisive rhetoric and messaging flying about Denton and Gorton at the minute is horrendous. It's this kind of humour that helps bring some light to a pretty grim situation and I am all for it!
John Oxley@joxley.jmoxley.co.uk · 8mo agoI don't know why I did this.
The reform candidate turned up at a local hustings for the Denton and Gorton by election today with private security because he felt scared...what the actual!??! Add this to the million reasons why I won't be voting for them. We need someone to champion our area...not be scared of it FFS.
Six things we learned at the Manchester Evening News' by-election hustings
With two weeks to go until polling day, a campaign dominated by candidates stressing their Mancunian credentials were tested at the M.E.N. offices by real Mancs - this is what it told us
