I would like to thank thoughtless Sky Sports who jumped on Everton misery - we stuck two fingers up to them

I couldn’t be any prouder to be an Evertonian than I am right now.

The atmosphere has been absolutely fantastic and I am sure no other club in world football would be able to emulate what we do as a fanbase. When we’re united as a football club, only the best things can happen to us.
