Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues Podcast with George and Andy Costigan. We look back on today’s game against Chelsea at a very weather-beaten Goodison Park, the continuation of an unlikely (for some) accumulation of points, before looking at a momentous week in the history of Everton Football Club with the arrival of the Friedkins and the handing over of the keys to the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore.

We examine many of the reasons to be positive about these monumental changes to our club

Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues Podcast with George and Andy Costigan. We look back briefly at the West Ham game, have a detailed discussion around what happens the next few weeks, before turning our attention to the changes at Brentford.

Finally a big shout out to our American Blue friends over at the American Toffee Podcast, who temporarily at least have paused their podcasting. They’ve done a tremendous job in growing and informing the US Everton fanbase and they should be congratulated not only for their content, but for their role in developing our club across the Americas. We hope to see you podcasting again soon
