Joe Thomas shares Everton fan message at Arsenal with Richard Masters in attendance
Everton supporters at Arsenal held a sign reading “Eight point loss, still did boss” while Richard Masters was in attendance, according to Joe Thomas.
The Liverpool Echo journalist reported on Sunday (19 May) that the Blues fans who made the trip to the Emirates for the Toffees’ 2-1 defeat once again booed the Premier League anthem and protested with a polite sign.

In other Everton news, Rio Ferdinand has praised Dyche for his “remarkable” work amid “chaos at Goodison Park
