For the 3rd year in a row Everton beat their Fa Cup semi-final opponents in extra-time.
This time it’s Sheffield Wednesday who are on the end of a 2-1 defeat.
Graeme Sharp with the winner.
OTD in 1985:
Champions elect, Everton, travel to White Hart Lane to face 2nd placed Tottenham.
Gray & Steven score as they come away with a 2-1 win.
Neville Southall with a breathtaking late save to deny Mark Falco.
Proper, down to earth football. Check out the team coach!
TELLY GOLD: The opening to Gazzetta Football Italia from this weekend in 1995.
Featuring:
- a classic skit with a bald Gazza
- Ken previews the show
- James settles down with the papers and a pastry
Glorious. Just glorious.
@SkySportsNews How ironic that a team that wanted to join a league with no promotion or relegation is potentially getting relegated from the Premier League...for that alone, it'll be a joy to watch. I hope Everton send them down on the last day!
"Everybody loves watching Tottenham" 🗣️
Former Spurs player David Bentley claims that the club has the potential to be the 'biggest in the world' 🌍 #SkySportsFC
@slbsn@DMac805799 Absolutely correct...I can't describe how much I've enjoyed watching us sweeping up all those major trophies over the last 3 years. 🤦🤡
🚨Everton confirm a £49.2m profit on the sale of the Women's team and Goodison. No mention of any settlement or cost of the Burnley case either before 30 June 2025 or post balance sheet (accounts signed 24 December 2025).
Almost certainly means a UEFA fine and settlement agreement in June 2027 IF Everton do qualify for UEFA competition this season
@SkySportsPL I can see them getting 5pts out of those remaining games...will that be enough to stay up 🤷
They only have to match West Ham's results, so like my team in recent seasons, they may get away with it. If they can sneak some unexpected wins they'll be ok.
@premierleague@Everton Keep our name out of your mouth!!!
You tried to relegate us whilst you protect your darling cash cows!
At least we did what you wouldn't do and took points off Chelsea!

@TottenhamTiers Takes a bit more than 1 pyro and a drum...and the stadium emptying out before the final whistle certainly isn't it.
Can't wait for the last game of the season 🙏
How ironic that it was Everton that took points off Chelsea because the @premierleague was too spineless to do it themselves!
Where there's money and greed, there'll always be corruption.

@Everton Couldn’t be happier for a team completely fucked over by the Premier League against one totally protected by the same organisation!! Fuck the premier league and so called big 6. Everton always a bigger club. We salute you!!!
