2025/26 David Moyes

[BlueInNZ]

Moyes etc.

I was there for that game. Ill watch that YouTube later, thank you.

Yes. Going back further there was also the Texaco Cup

The Simod Cup was also known as the Full Members Cup and we got beat by Forest in the 1989 final.
The Zenith Data Systems Cup was its replacement(I think).

Both trophies introduced to replace European competition due to the ban on English clubs.

In typical Everton fashion, we missed out on the proper European competitions due to our neighbours and lost 3 finals in the replacement competitions( don’t forget the Screen Sport trophy as well)…Everton that!!

If calling out your lies and exposing you for being a WUM is cultish then I guess I’m in a cult.

Isn't it nice to talk about trophies when 12 months ago Moyes was saving our very existence.

I enjoyed Martinez' first season more than most of Moyes' but, looking back, I think that was ultimately down to Rom.

Think it was the best football I’d seen us play since Kendall Mk1., whoever was responsible.

Yeah, but I think the whole thing was still propped up by lingering aspects of Moyes' tenure, hence why it started to fall apart at the seams with time...even with players like Rom and Gareth Barry etc; players Moyes would've killed for back then.

That was under King Arthur not bloody Bobby Brown Shoes.

If he had stayed any longer I think Excalibur would have been used in his demise.

And besides, Boberto’s final season at the club was more akin to Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo…

…Then it was to anything Camelot, or King Arthur related!

I’m ready to vault every single one of you. Come at me you self loathing slags. I’ll ruin you.

Please vault all my comments in the 23/24 Garner thread, I need the endorphin hit.

Might just be the old man mentality I have at times, but I find it extremely disrespectful to label a professional club, one that came through the leagues to play in the Prem for several seasons as the f’n Dog and Duck to defend the manager that both won them a trophy and relegated them within a week of each other, walked out to sign for our club and signed 4 of their players

A lot to catch up on in this thread. Is everyone getting along?

The question you have to ask is where would the team the season before have finished with Lukaku up front?

Not as high I think, David does nothing quick..although he got us back on a decent track quick enough this last time.

The season before we actually lost less games. It was the draws that stopped us finishing higher and a finisher like Lukaku would have made all the difference.
