Swansea moved five points off the bottom three thanks to a Jordan Ayew goal in a home draw with Everton.

Swansea moved five points off the bottom three thanks to a Jordan Ayew goal in a home draw with Everton.
A campaign that began with genuine hopes of progress is instead ending with Everton manager Sam Allardyce lauding the mediocre, describing a 1-1 draw at Swansea on Saturday as a “great point.”

This pitiful embrace of mediocrity is turning a storied club into an irrelevance. There is no scenario in which settling for a point against the team fourth from bottom in the league is acceptable. Yet here was Allardyce going one step further and actively protecting a point, introducing centre-back Ramiro…

With matchday 30 in the Premier League fast approaching, Shaka Hislop and Alexis Nunes predict who’ll come out on top in each fixture.

Everton and under-pressure manager Sam Allardyce are running out of time — and matches — in their increasingly laboured attempts to salvage something from this season. The Toffees would need to win all nine remaining league games to match the 61-point return from last season.
Any illusions Allardyce might have had about the task facing him and the expectation of supporters are surely gone. His backtracking after ill-advised comparisons between Everton and some of his former clubs is testament…

Everton defender Seamus Coleman has been selected for the Republic of Ireland’s friendly.
Seamus Coleman is back in the Republic of Ireland squad for the first time since fracturing his right leg in March 2017.
Coleman, 29, has been included by manager Martin O’Neill for the friendly against Turkey in Antalya on March 23, a day short of a year since his injury.
The Everton full-back underwent surgery after breaking his leg during a goalless World Cup qualifying draw with Wales at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
Coleman was hurt in a challenge by Neil Taylor 72 minutes into a tight encounter…

Everton defender Seamus Coleman made his return to action in the under-23’s Premier League Cup clash with Portsmouth.
Coleman, 29, played 58 minutes at Goodison Park as he works his way back to full fitness.
The right-back suffered a double leg fracture in Republic of Ireland’s goalless draw with Wales at the Aviva Stadium in March and only returned to training earlier this month.

Seamus Coleman has been out of action since March.
Everton boss Sam Allardyce says Seamus Coleman is back in training nearly 10 months after breaking his leg.
Coleman, 29, suffered a double break of his right leg following a tackle with Wales’ Neil Taylor back in March while playing for the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup qualifier.
Speaking at Everton’s annual general meeting, Allardyce said: “Seamus Coleman is due back. He has started training.”
Last month Allardyce revealed Everton were using the latest technology to help with Coleman with…

Daryl Murphy scored twice in 17 minutes to lead Republic of Ireland past Moldova in their crucial, penultimate qualifier.
CARDIFF, Wales — Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill has called for his team to beat Wales on Monday to get injured captain Seamus Coleman to next year’s World Cup finals.
Coleman had his leg broken by Wales’ Neil Taylor in March’s 0-0 draw between the two teams in Dublin, and in the return fixture in Cardiff, O’Neill’s team needs a win to have any hope of reaching the qualifying playoffs.
“It’s the World Cup and it doesn’t really get much bigger than that,” said O’Neill in Cardiff on Sunday….

Ireland’s Martin O’Neill believes his side can still win their last two games to qualify for the 2018 World Cup after their 1-0 home defeat to Serbia.

After winning two in two with Wales, Gareth Bale believes the side have re-found their winning form.

A Celtic collision course has been set for Cardiff on Monday, but Wales and Ireland must negotiate Friday’s World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Moldova respectively, to set up an encounter of winner takes all. 

Should Ireland slip up, then victory in Tbilisi in a game played prior to the kick-off in Dublin, would be enough for Wales to secure second spot behind leaders Serbia, currently four points clear in Group D. Ireland probably need to win both of their remaining matches since…

Everton’s Ronald Koeman feels Wayne Rooney’s experience was a major factor in sealing the Toffees’ opening day victory.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes tips his cap to Wayne Rooney and Jordan Pickford’s performances for Everton.
Full-back Seamus Coleman was among the generous donors as Everton raised £244,400 to buy a house for homeless teenagers in Liverpool.
As part of their ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is’ campaign, the Premier League side will offer 16 to 23-year-olds a place to stay near Goodison Park.
The money raised smashed Everton’s target of £230,000, as they look to give back to the community, including their loyal fans.
Ireland international Coleman, who has played for the club since 2009, made a “significant”…
