Three matches in a week? No problem for Everton—or The Blue Frontier! James, Shan, and Ryan are back in full force to break down the Toffees’ gritty 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, completing their first league double over the Eagles since 2004-05. It wasn’t just about football, though—this episode somehow covers religion, childbirth, bird species, refrigerators, halal, and more.

From Beto’s relentless hold-up play to Charly Alcaraz’s dream debut, the hosts dissect standout performances, Moyes' tactical adjustments, and how Everton overcame fatigue to pull off a massive win. They also highlight the electric away support, Spirit of the Blues ringing through London, and the growing momentum heading into the clash against a flailing Manchester United.

Also on the agenda:

• Anthony Taylor’s officiating masterclass?!
• The unsung heroes: Pickford, Young & Lindstrøm
• Everton vs. Birds FC—coincidence or fate?

The Blue Frontier is back following the incredibly dramatic finish of the 120th, and final Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park. James Tarkowski stepped up in the final minute of stoppage time to thump home a deserved equalizer when all hope was nearly lost.

James and Ryan analyze the significant moments, including all 4 goals, missed opportunities, and the overall dynamics of the game, with an emphasis on what an emotional rollercoaster of a match it was. Michael Oliver draws criticism for his inconsistent calls, Beto earns praise for his work rate and goal, while Abdoulaye Doucouré, JB, and Gana also played their part in the monumental result. They spend a great deal of time basking in the glory of the final minutes, getting in lots of comments from listeners on socials, and reflecting on how remarkable and welcome the Toffee's turn in form has been, not to mention how special the Everton fanbase is. Special mention of the hilarious head loss by the reds across the park ;) SUBLIME.

UP THE TOFFEES!
