    Everton means GOT, and GOT means occasional comedy gold such as this https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/is-it-my-self-esteem.92983/

    Haha, yeah. I was thinking from when Moshiri walked through the door at Goodison in 2016...... so many disasters in the past seven years, but for me the summer of 2017 was a catastrophe when we had a real opportunity to push on - a large transfer budget and European qualification. Perhaps the...

    From memory when Lukaku was sold, Koeman said in an interview he wanted "the goals spread around" and that Lukaku didn't suit a pressing style that Koeman wanted to impose. We then went and signed attackers completely lacking pace who wouldn't be able to press - the likes of a 32 year-old...

    I was looking post-Moyes, but yep, Heysel and the European ban saw several clubs overtake us leading into the premier league era.

    Bill's sycophantic ego in "bringing a boyhood blue home" was ultimate cringe, that's for sure.

    2022/23 Amadou Onana

    Genuinely could still see him with us next season if we're relegated. He's only 21, and would not be a huge salary-earner, and he looks like a level-headed enough lad to know himself he's still a bit raw. If we don't get promoted next season though, he'd be off.

    Yep. James had a foot out the door the second Real Madrid came calling for Carlo.

    Respectfully disagree, 11 goals in 40 appearances in 17/18 as a midfielder / second striker is a decent return in a horrifically low-quality team, even if three of those were penalties. He was let down by scandalously poor recruitment in the other attacking areas of the pitch. Come to think...

    .... where it all went wrong. I'll start - the summer of 2017, and we spent in the range of 135,000,000 quid on Davy Klaassen, Sandro Ramirez, Henry Onyekuru, Josh Bowler, Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Wayne Rooney, and Nikola Vlasic. Out of those only Pickford and (because...

    For those who are going to be in Sydney, the Everton Supporters Club Australia have done an ace job of putting on a few events. Am heading over from NZ on Saturday, looking forward to it and mingling with fellow blues. Slightly less enthused about seeing these wasters getting whacked by Celtic...

    The 1414 native-American pre-European Brazilian team would do a job on us.

    At least we are playing the correct players as wing-backs. There's no way Coleman or Myko would be able to play as effective wing-backs.
