I immediately acknowledged my misspeak—which happens when you’re on podcasts—and then I followed it up with the self deprecating/sarcastic humor I’ve literally always used on TBR. Feels like acknowledging my mistake immediately in nearly real time on the pod ought to be enough.

Crime 101 was fun and had me hooked throughout. Love me a really good heist film. Great cast, score, and plenty of tense action. Also, the world needs more Halle Berry.

Eric, thanks for the kind words. I believe Moyes wants what is best for Everton—he just has a different view of how to do it that’s concerning in the medium/long term for me. Ultimately the kind of club we’re hoping to become won’t need any manager who exerts outsized control over the vision/plan.

@albabycakes.bsky.social Loved the pod as usual. Felt like the Chet analysis was a bit harsh. Totally get you on impacting more offensively, but his overall defensive impact was pretty massive last night or am I imagining that? Spurs were forced into a bunch of of uncomfortable midrange looks.

Plenty of logic in suggesting the market for Everton will soften as we get closer to the deadline. But that doesn’t guarantee anything. Up to TFG to ultimately find a way as no one will accept “market forces” as an excuse if the glaring squad issues aren’t addressed. #EFC

Rob Vera @therobvera.bsky.social · 22/07/2025
TFG’s slow, methodical recruitment approach may certainly result in a much improved squad by the end of the window. But it’s ultimately their job to prove it, not your job to blindly espouse faith. I hope for the best and hope they get it right. Proof will be in signings. #EFC

Rob Vera @therobvera.bsky.social · 22/07/2025
While you wait on Everton to make more signings, remember that it is TFG’s responsibility to validate your optimism in the form of tangible improvement to the squad. It is NOT your job to carry water for them by telling everyone that slow business is a sign of their acumen. #EFC

It’s only a mostly meaningless preseason friendly, but O’Brien on the bench in favor of Keane already is triggering, no lie. #EFC

You’re forgiven, Chad! Also, Rodger translated my rant into an eloquent summary of my case against Keane. It’s not the end of the world, I’ll get over it. Just don’t like giving more money to bad players when you don’t absolutely have to.

I mean, it’s ok to be depressed when your team loses at this stage. But certainly it’s got to come with a healthy dose of big picture perspective, absolutely. But man, we’re a great team about to get G7 of The FINALS at our place. I’d say that’s a helluva good thing in the grand scheme.

Rob Vera @therobvera.bsky.social · 20/06/2025
I feel that. To put a finer point on it, yesterday was my 46th birthday. Less than ideal! But the older I get, the less strength I have to go full doom. If this team falls short, it’ll be because they just weren’t ready. It’ll hurt but it won’t change my optimism about the future. Clinging to that.

Rob Vera @therobvera.bsky.social · 20/06/2025
Like, I get it. It hurts to lose like that. But the whole reason G5 was so pivotal was to guarantee us THIS opportunity to play in a place where we’ve been historically great. Of course we can lose, but I just can’t get into the doom and gloom.

Rob Vera @therobvera.bsky.social · 20/06/2025
We were badass all season just so we could play a game 7 of the Finals at home. Man, if you can’t get behind this team in THAT arena in this situation, I don’t know what to tell ya.

The exceedingly obvious first domino of the summer window(s) has fallen for Everton. From the fit to the performances to the fee, it always felt like a bizarre rhetorical exercise to explain why Alcaraz somehow wouldn’t end up moving to Everton permanently. Great start. #EFC

The Thunder making 27 shots outside the paint, out of 53 attempts, is ridiculous. I don't think people understand how crazy that number of makes on jump shots is. OKC averaged 19.0 made field goals per game outside of the paint during the regular season; NBA teams averaged 17.2

FT: Newcastle 0-1 Everton. The Blues finish the season off strong w/3 straight victories—this one being easily the biggest surprise. Great performances all around, but particularly Alcaraz and Pickford who simply wouldn’t be denied today. A genuinely exciting summer ahead! #EFC

If you haven’t seen enough from Charly Alcaraz at this point to think we ought to pay the very reasonable fee to make his loan permanent, then we clearly don’t see football the same. It’s an easy decision and one less thing that needs doing this summer. Get it done. #EFC

Honored to be one of those interviewed for this lovely piece on making one final trip to Goodison. For the record, I was speaking (mostly) tongue-in-cheek when I classified my harrowing journey home as a worthy price to pay for Moyes’ first post-return Everton victory. 😆 #EFC

Let someone else give DCL money. Giving him a new deal with the idea that he’s suddenly going to go on a long run of fitness and goal scoring production is some real “hope as a plan” behavior that Everton need to finally graduate from. Embrace moving on! #EFC

Rob Vera @therobvera.bsky.social · 29/04/2025
Given the age, trajectory, injury history and overall lack of production in recent years, what is the logical argument for giving Calvert-Lewin a new contract at Everton? (And no, we shouldn’t be spending considerable money to bring back a diminished Richarlison, either). #EFC

Significant injuries are always bad, but there is unquestionably an opportunity for something positive to come out of this for Everton. Give Jake O’Brien his shot with Branthwaite. See what you’ve got. Learn what needs doing in the summer. #EFC
