I think the most pissed I have ever been at a game was Everton, we were drinking with my missus’ landlord who ran Everton former players association, after town we were in a little pub behind the main stand and I recall a long chat with a lovely bloke who had played for Villa, Everton and Liverpool, who’s name escapes me. Also introduced to a fella who had ran on the pitch in the Cup Final and who’s jacket had been pulled off by a persuing copper.

Can’t remember anything about the game at all

Also scene of my favourite away game, SGTs last.

The guy at Wembley was called Eddie Kavanagh.

Such a shame Bootle did not make it.  How cool would have been to go on an away day and say you were off on a Tootle to Bootle.  Positively Johnsonian use of the English language.

Remember wearing my 94 home shirt to Glastonbury a few years ago and bumped into a lad in an Everton bucket hat who stopped me for a good chat about how both teams were sleeping giants and proper football clubs. Always liked Everton tbh. (As an aside had so many people coming up to me shaking my hand and saying they loved that strip. This was before the Mundial footy shirt fetish era we're in now as well.) The only person to give me some stick was a Baggies fan who was, as you'd expect, a c*nt.

Anyway, cheers!

Certainly had loads of great visits to Goodison, but the 3-3 under SGT is right up there with my all time favourites from any away day!

Cheers EB, it’s always been one of my favourite fixtures our games between each other. Good luck at the weekend, hopefully we’ll do our bit by ourselves and not have to rely on results elsewhere though.

What’s that little boozer called on the other side of the road half way down their (I think) main stand?

In my experience Everton fans are almost perfectly 50/50 when it comes to Villa. Half of them hate us nearly as much as they hate Liverpool and the other half see as a sort of kindred spirit. As with any club with fans that really hate us that aren't from Birmingham I've never really understood it (Except Newcastle, I get why they have a problem with us, but it was worth it).

Yep.

I used to spend a fair bit of time in Liverpool and never met an Everton fan who gave two shits about us.

The beauty of Villa vs Everton is that I always feel both clubs think they are evenly matched and bar the odd bad year for either club they are. Means we will go to Goodison and have a go and likewise they always give it a go at VP, Generally makes for a really entertaining fixture

some of my fave games have been tis fixture. The one when Ormadroyd played like Ronaldo and the Ashley young winner . both very similar clubs and Everton dont bother me at all.

Thanks for the wishes ..    We will be playing you next season .
