Thank God we had Southampton today. No disrespect to them, but there are the only team in the league we were guaranteed to beat. Even then we still made hard work for ourselves in the second half. Big work is needed in the summer because outside of a couple of exceptions that's one utterly dogdirt team we've got there.
 
Fair enough; maybe that was a bit snarky. I do think they could have raised the bar on what counted as a legend, though. It was a bit of a comedown from Peter Reid and Andy Gray to some of the people in the 2000s.

Maybe I’m an elitist, but this was the last game at a ground that has seen Eusebio and Pele. I think I’d rather have had half the number of players and a higher bar for an invite.
sadly, they were otherwise engaged.

The previous two games vs them this season beg to differ. But yeah, on paper, couldn’t have picked an easier game for the Goodison send off. And we went about it professionally and controlled the game and put ourselves on the front foot, even if we did dip towards the end.

Spot on. Cant afford to wait until mid-august to make our moves. Look where Spurs are today, with their brand new 60k seater...
 

Was maybe the swipes in replys to abuse he got?

If you can't take it, then don't give it out.

Simple really.

He was a great player for us.
Don't deny he was a great player, don't deny he was probably responding to abuse, just don't think he should of been invited. Rooney is a bit different because, he was thrown under bus by Bill Kenwright. Arteta got a bit of stick when we won 3-0, didn't start gobbing off about Everton. Distin, Osman, Anichebe and Tim Howard got abuse while playing for us, yet didn't react on social media. Don't mind players like Rooney, Pienaar, Richy, Stones Felaini or Lukaku leaving to play in Champions league. Lescott went to a club who had finished beneath us and weren't in Europe. Arteta didn't down tools to force a move, neither did Stones, Lescott did.
 
Sitting here drinking a glass of Paddy thinking of what has happened today and feeling like Trevor Howard in the Bridge over the river Kwai when he realised that he was wrong to build that bridge.
I went to Goodison with my dad and in later years my two younger brothers who are all dead now, we have all lost family members where Goodison was part of our lives, and I am sitting here thinking did we really have to move from Goodison was there no other way?
The answer of course is yes we had to move the club was in decline us older fans have to give the younger fans brilliant girls and boys who have stuck with family allegiances rather than take the easy option and followed the Darkside , we have to give them the chance to see an Everton team that can compete and hopefully win things again
Bramley Moore will never replace Goodison Park for us arl arses but hopefully it will create memories for our kids and there kids so that Everton can become dominant in the city again.
