Gwlad Tidings - A show about Everton

The Athletic's Everton podcast returns after an unplanned hiatus, but before a slightly longer planned one, with your regular hosts Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland. The lads were just as stunned as everyone else in football when they learned of Carlo Ancelotti's sudden departure from Everton, lured back to Real Madrid seemingly out of the blue. But, once the dust had settled, there was a sense that it may not be as catastrophic as it first seemed and perhaps there are one or two reasonable options to take the club forward.

Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland are The Athletic's dedicated Everton team bringing you this weekly podcast update on the latest goings on at Goodison. A win away at Arsenal and another venue removed from the list of long-term bogey sites. The Blues rode their luck, for sure, but perhaps they were due a stroke of fortune.

We'll talk all about the opposition, including one conspicuous Everton Academy graduate, have a look back at this fixture in seasons past, and there's an update from the U18s.

The Athletic's Everton team, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland, take you through another week in the history of the club, and this was no ordinary week. After 12 of Europe's richest clubs, including six from the English Premier League, were forced to abandon their only-just-announced plan for a European Super League, we look at the role played by the Everton hierarchy in taking a stand against the controversial breakaway. And, as Director of Football Marcel Brands signs a three-year extension to his contract with the club, we grade his performance in the job so far, and look at how current performances fit into the long-term progress that he was asked to deliver.

The Athletic's Everton podcast returns with Rodriguez-like impact thanks to the expert stylings of club correspondents Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland. The lads were left feeling a little deflated after the Blues failed to hold on to their James-inspired lead against Palace; even Gbamin's appearance failed to provoke a spark of enthusiasm from Paddy. So, how about this run-in, and where is Ancelotti taking the club? Plenty of musings on identity, whether we have much of one, and whether it matters a great deal. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Athletic's dedicated team, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland, bring you their weekly round-up of everything Everton.
