A living nightmare
Thousands of Evertonians face the prospect of sleepless nights as the 2022/23 season enters its final months and when they open their eyes, the nightmare just continues.
Back when the Blues’ Premier League status was first in the balance going into the final day of a season back in 1993/94, the Match of the Day commentary described the reception they received as “a welcome fit for champions from a set of supporters who didn’t know whether they’d come to cheer or see their team buried.” For all their struggles that campaign, that particular Everton team did not lack character and after coming back from 2-0 down to beat Wimbledon that day, they’d go on to lift the FA Cup – still the club’s last major honour – the following year.
