I miss Goodison like most, for the memories of the people that took me to my first game, sang with, drank with, laughed and cried with. Took my little boy several times and he saw us win only once but he still got hooked, now I take him to BMD...
The one thing I do miss is the intensity of noise in the lower gwlady under the upper. Was park end for the last 24 years but swapped tickets for the final derby and got to live it one last time - will stay with me forever that moment when Tarks...
Its the aura of them that has always been to much for us the last 40 years. They could have a load of pub players and still most of our players always get the shxtes. We need a hypnotist telling our players it's Bristol City in the red.
They're still a very good side albeit one that has struggled this season. You are right that we should be talking ourselves up going into the game. We've earned that with how we've gone about this season.
Nothing weird about it Matty.
I’m of a similar view to be honest - I think he’s done a decent job in stabilising us but I want to watch more entertaining football. I’ve watched Moyes at Everton for the best part of what, 13-14 seasons in two...
Think he’s doing a good job. Always want us to win & to finish as high as possible.
Don’t want him here next season.
Both statements can be true despite some posters on here claiming otherwise.
That's a ridiculous way of looking at things. Tim is much much better than we could have hoped for. We only paid £60k for Seamus Coleman. Sometimes cheaper player turn out to be ballers and are better than more expensive options.
Avoid giving away free kicks anywhere near the box and we can do them. If you keep Szeboggleyed quiet then they’re a shadow of their former selves. Really fancy Beto to bag plus one of Jake, Jarrod or Tarky.
….i have a view that their midweek game v PSG will have a major bareing on this. If they turn that game around, they’ll come into this flying but if they go out I think we can steamroller them.
Regardless, I think we’re a better team and closer...
I really want to believe. I think if the approach is right we win but I’ve been burned too many times by this manager and how comfortable he is with the perceived pecking order. Hopefully he finds some belief in the next few days as well 💙
