Still can't believe that Richard Masters showed up. Either has one hell of a brass neck or his head is in cloud cuckoo land.

100% Brass neck the arrogant bell
Now there's a guy who deserves a bonafide Goodison headlock.

Did the club invite him? Surely not

I think the comments about the atmosphere are way off. The ground was bouncing in the first half. Second half the players started to ease off pass sideways and back to the keeper etc. the crowd got quieter and quieter as it went on. My abiding memory from today is that with a few rare exceptions, those players really don't deserve our fans.

Are revels now are ended.These our actors,
As I foretold you were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the Grand Old Lady herself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded
Leave not a rack behind.We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep

The Tempest, Act 4 Scene1
William Shakespeare

Been the case for years sadly.

Southampton were unquestionably the better in the second half, yet most of the fans in our section didn't care - we were enjoying each other's company.

Today was about the people.

I thought McCoist was pretty universally liked, certainly among the football supporters I know anyway.

I don't mind him but I always believed that he was an 'undeserved' favourite of GOT folk. Seems to have been a bit of a shift in opinion of late.

Dunno but It deffo wasnt Paul McCartney

Him and Elton jibbed it off and went the Lisbon instead.

Not good enough for me. You hear other commentators wax lyrical about their teams, he always seems too impartial for me.

TBF, you hear every ex-RS player wax lyrical about the RS but I never get the same vibe from ex-Everton players.

Winning things is why. Peter Reis and co are happy to wax lyrical.
