David Moyes’ side have collected 21 points since January‘Some are standing up and doing really well,’ he says David Moyes believes Everton’s recent form against leading Premier League teams has opened players’ eyes to their true potential and influenced his decision on their futures. The Everton manager admits he did not expect many points from an April schedule of Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Chelsea when he studied the fixture list on his return to the club. Everton’s opponents were the league’s top five at the start of the month. A narrow defeat at Liverpool, a draw with Arsenal and victory at Forest, however, have altered perceptions of Moyes and his players before they encounter Pep Guardiola’s side at Goodison Park on Saturday.

It should be the best of times for Nottingham Forest but the great expectations of securing an historic Champions League spot risk making it the worst if they miss out. A Murillo mistake gifted Everton victory in stoppage time as the pressure started to show at the City Ground. The Brazilian centre-back lost the ball just inside the Everton half, allowing Dwight McNeil to breakaway and slip in Abdoulaye Doucouré to finish the job in the 94th minute. The visitors deserved the win against Forest who did not live up to their lofty position of third place amid a disappointing performance. Continue reading...

Campaigners denounce ‘cover-up of a cover-up’ as IOPC clears officers of scapegoating Liverpool supporters A 12-year investigation into the Hillsborough disaster by the police watchdog has concluded that no senior South Yorkshire police officers were guilty of misconduct for falsely blaming misbehaviour by Liverpool supporters. That police case was wholly rejected in 2016 by the jury at the second inquest, who determined that no behaviour of Liverpool supporters contributed to the disaster, which happened on 15 April 1989 at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium.

If Ipswich could have been forgiven for having next season’s Championship already in mind, Bournemouth are plunging their own depths of disappointment. Winless since mid-February, Cherry-flavoured European dreams fade fast, defeat to the strugglers following exit from the FA Cup. Still nine points shy of safety, Kieran McKenna’s team’s chances remain remote. The only certainty appears that Liam Delap, scorer of a rampaging second goal, will be playing Premier League football next season but, with eight games to play, after a first Premier League win in 2025, their small chance is far better than no chance at all. Ipswich, without a game since 15 March, have seen survival hopes crumble while they could only watch in impotent pessimism. The revivals of Everton, West Ham and most obviously Wolves have trampled on any seeds of a comeback; Wolves’ defeat of the Hammers on Tuesday was another dagger to hearts. Autumnal expectations have been crushed by a scolding winter, and some harsh lessons learned. Back in December, Ipswich took the game to Bournemouth only to be denied at the last. Here they set up with far greater pragmatism. Six changes from a 4-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest suggested McKenna had done plenty of thinking. Continue reading...
