Are we the fans to blame?

5 quick snacks to make you feel better:
  1. Pea soup with a crusty cob
  2. Beans on toast, add some butter, cheese and pepper to the beans and cook slowly so a thick consistency
  3. Some poached eggs
  4. Aracherra tacos, tortilla must be smaller corn version.
  5. Cheese on toast, season that shiz with some habanero sauce when done.

What derby?

A lot of the lads playing today were only kids they cant be blamed for the results of the past.
With the right investment we will get better I despise the RS but in the scheme of things todays derby was meaningless for us and to be honest when we lost Coleman and particularly Schniderlin I feared the worst.
The future of the club looks better now than anytime in the last 30 years so lets not turn on the players now.

Sums up my thoughts entirely
When Schneiderlin got injured my reasonably justified confidence took a hit. Losing Coleman, and in my eyes a draw at best was all I expected.
Same old story as far as I am concerned. Not losing sleep over the result at all. We have come on in lots of ways this season and I am hanging on to the hope that this is really just the beginning of a brave new dawn.

And it's the younger, and not so young fans who deserve something positive to shout about in the form of silverware.
As an aside and staying on the subject of young supporters, mid afternoon I had my four year old grandson and five year old grandaughter with me and buying some sweets for them. Both the children had on their junior Everton shirts. Cue two kopite behind me couldn't resist themselves having a pop at the "poor bairns" As this is in Hull I said you got back quick, an obvious reference from me that they had watched it in the pub, adding that I had probably been to the Pit more than them. When I told them that my grandaughter had a season ticket for the Street End hope I made my point.
 
God this forum is getting worse. The mods have done some brilliant work and it's an impressive place, thanks too kind donations

... But there's so many silly threads that get created by us blues
 

To an extent it is our fault in that we continue to indulge the fantasy that we are equal to them when in fact they are and have been for decades a far bigger club with vastly greater resources. their wage bill is far bigger. The ability to recruit in the market is far greater.

We just have to be a bit more realistic. Why suppose that Everton will regularly compete as equals with a much richer bigger club?
 
It is my duty to ALL Blues to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but Royal Blue Truth.

When we accept or excuse or cannot see fault in our performance, then we demean Everton. We keep doing it.

We've become like customers of "cowboy builders".

We're saying "It's bloody expensive, not anywhere near as good as we were hoping for. It's not even properly finished yet, but we've stumped up the cash. One of them shagged my teenage daughter in our bed. I suppose we'll just have to make do for now. On the plus side, I don't suppose he'll want to shag her again tonight though".
 
I have written some [Poor language removed] in the past but this really does take the biscuit.

I don't have an issue with giving them a hard time at the game when they are not performing but whilst down the street doing their shopping FFS.

My best mate works for Land Rover but I don't slag him off down the street because my gearbox has just died.

So it's a big game, win it and we are into europe, Rom hasn't been playing too well but a win will see us into the europa cup and Rom steps out of his Bentley prior the game with a rumour he is just about to sign his contract and up steps latchmac the red - eh Rom, any chance you pulling your finger from up your arrrrrse and getting a goal for us today?

Rom instantly scores a hat trick and signs for life, or does he just leave.

What a knob. :mad:(n):rant::red:

Approaching Ross, Rom, Jags or any of the players and giving them a verbal chastising would hardly help now would it.

Maybe, the adulation of players needs to be tempered somewhat to try and keep their feet on the ground, but given the riches they earn and the lifestyle they enjoy, it's highly debatable whether anything actually gets to them in the way you might hope it would.

I dare any to approach rom and offer him the fisty cuffs....
 
In 2005 Wigan turned us over at the Old Lady when they first got promoted I was sat near the boxes and at the end Bill was confronted by angry fans telling him how it wasn't good enough. That wouldn't happen now because we all assume we're on an upward curve.
 
Missing a trick here. We should be flag waving trumpets and lighting flares as we welcome their cars for the most unimportant games ever.

Bullenites

Think this is very true, I for one have been a lot more laid back about it all this season assuming this is part of a upward curve, we will see come the summer won't we
