Ancelotti's Shock Departure; Who Might Replace Him?
June 03, 2021 20:40 - 44 minutesThe 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 op...

North London Drought Officially Over
April 29, 2021 19:33 - 49 minutesGreg 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. Villa next, and quite unbelievably it's the first league fixture between the two sides this season. In May! We'll talk all about the opposition, including one conspicuous Eve...
Defiant Everton Lead Resistance to ESL
April 21, 2021 17:31 - 40 minutesThe 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 t...
The Future's Not Brighton (a)
April 14, 2021 21:10 - 43 minutesFresh from a fiery breakfast debate, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland bring you the latest edition of The Athletic's Everton podcast. Just when you thought the club's injury woes were a thing of the past a training ground incident ends Gbamin's season, and the Brighton game did nothing to raise our spirits. In an effort to find some positivity we consider how terrible Spurs are at the moment, and reflect on what a great season Moise Kean is having at PSG. Learn more about your ad choices. Visi...
What is Ancelotti's Everton?
April 08, 2021 20:07 - 38 minutesThe 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 ma...
Ask Greg and Paddy: Q&A Special
April 01, 2021 20:57 - 51 minutesThe Athletic's Everton correspondents, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland, host this special edition podcast with listeners' questions abound!

No Place Like Home
March 19, 2021 01:18 - 36 minutesThe Athletic's duo of Everton specialists, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland, look forward to a welcome rest after another loss to a struggling side at Goodison Park. Carlo Ancelotti will surely be using that time to get some important figures back to full fitness and restore the pep that was missing at the weekend. But, before that, there's a different Pep on the horizon. Can the Toffees see off Guardiola's Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-final? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit me...
Bogatoffees and Bench Blues
March 11, 2021 19:27 - 33 minutesThe Athletic's dedicated team, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland, bring you their weekly round-up of everything Everton. It's still a Stamford Bridge too far; Ancelotti's side were well beaten by a Tuchel-revitalised Chelsea. While the starting XI looked competitive, the game may have been won and lost on the bench. And there's plenty going on outside these isles, with an update on Fraser Hornby's career and our new-found popularity in South America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit mega...
Champions League: Our Dream, Carlo's Target
March 05, 2021 14:03 - 36 minutesThe Athletic's Everton correspondents Gregg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland reflect on another great week. Wins against Southampton and West Brom, if not always pretty, put Everton firmly in the Champions League picture and the manager's confidence is encouraging.

A Dose of Realism as Derby Dawns
February 19, 2021 13:00 - 44 minutesThe Athletic's Everton experts Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland reflect on a tough week for the Toffees. No points from two games and the worst possible FA Cup draw aren't the preparation we were looking for as we head to Anfield to face a potentially vulnerable Liverpool. But, there is a more positive outlook for the long-term with stadium developments getting a boost as well as Tom Davies' providing optimism at the heart of the team and the club.

February 11, 2021 16:44 - 36 minutesThe Athletic's Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland take a deep breath and relive a truly insane victory over Spurs in the FA Cup. Almost forgotten, but not quite, a more than creditable point against "title challengers" Manchester United, and a stirring performance from Tom Davies. And Fulham will be the visitors at Goodison on Sunday, as they were for our dip into the archives, David Moyes' first game as Everton manager in 2002. Learn more about your ad choices.
