Maybe it wasn’t the prettiest affair, but The Blue Frontier delivers a lively episode brimming with banter and sharp analysis. Hosts James, Shan, and Ryan kick things off with an exciting breakdown of the upcoming Toffee Fest 2025 in San Diego, where James and Shan will be on hand to join Everton ambassador Graham Stewart and over 170 North American supporters for a packed weekend of festivities.    The full trio then dives into Everton’s gritty 1-1 draw against Arsenal at Goodison Park—a cagey, tactical match that lacked sustained quality but in which the Toffees showcased resilience. Iliman Ndiaye’s cool-headed penalty canceled out Leandro Trossard’s opener, while Jordan Pickford’s heroics kept the home side in contention. The hosts unpack lineup changes, spotlighting players like Nathan Patterson and Tim Iroegbunam stepping up (or not), Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil making  their return from injury, and veterans like Idrissa Gueye excelling while others fade. With humor and insight, they also analyze what this point against a rotated Arsenal side could mean—can Everton build on it against top-tier foes? Looking ahead, they prep listeners for a battle of similar styles against Nottingham Forest, armed with data and tactical takeaways. As always, listener comments weave through the episode—thanks for your amazing support! Casual fans and die-hard Blues will love this front-row seat to the action.
