Some optimism...

[maccavennie]

All the off the field depressing crap is meaningless come 3pm anyway as we will all be buzzing that the season is about to start and we all start afresh. Let's hope regardless who is injured or who we haven't signed that we get off to a winning start and just as importantly, we put in a good performance which I think is really important.

We own Barkley, Stones, Lukaku and Deulofeu.

A year and a half ago you would never believe that.

Is that because you wouldn't of known who they were, a year and a half ago? lol

I've never been so excited to get myself back into Goodison Park. My dad passed away recently & everton meant the world to him, being inside Goodison brings us close. COYB!

A year and half ago they were playing for us.

If we had signed Butland we'd be sorted for the next 10 years.

Every summer I get excited for the new season, I can't help it. Each summer I think imagine if we went on a mad run and actually finished top 4 comfortably and won a cup.

It fades as the season goes on, but I still love doing it every year!!

Can't wait till we finish 2nd.

We can be frustrating and I have waited years for a team with enough potential to be frustrating

I thought that I am just one of the very few who think that we will have a very good and interesting season.
Glad there are loads of us.
COYB!

Is on ice.... for now

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

I think we're one or two signings away from being a top, top team.

________
Coleman Stones Jagielka Baines
McCarthy Barkley
Deulofeu _______ Mirallas
Lukaku

Add a good goalkeeper and a quality playmaker in there and we start to look like a great side. We also have a lot of good players available from the bench (Besic, Barry, Cleverley, Gibson, Pienaar, Naismith) and some really talented youngsters coming through too (Galloway, Browning, Garbutt, Dowell). If we strengthen in places and add some depth where needed this could be a really good season for us! COYB

Post of the thread....

More than just the actual Football, brought Dads and Lads together for over a century! I'm sitting next to my old man this Saturday.

• Lukaku will score 40
• Barkley will turn back into a £50 million player
• So will Stones
• Champions league!
• Deulofeu will be brilliant, but not quite enough for Barca to buy back
• Clever Cleverley Coup Causes Kopite Chaos.
• Howard back to USA USA USA #1
• Baines shows his ankle was all that was holding him back
• Barry is a different player playing once a week
• Martinez for Coach of the Year

See, that wasn't that hard. Please don't pinch me.
