What are your 'Mind blown' moments since you've been a blue?

Nothing will ever come close to the appointment of Benitez as our manager, the ignorance towards the fans and collective beligerance of the board will be the biggest embarrasment to have ever happened to the club.

For a club that prides itself on doing the so called right thing, to ignore the fans, the media and history of him and to give him a contract was willfully scuttling the club. The signings, the sackings, the unscrupulous board members are all mistakes that happen at various clubs and are quickly forgotton. To appoint someone who openly mocked the club as he laughed from our very obvious enemy and afterbirth, its embarrassing to even open this wound again.

NOTHING COMES CLOSE.
This

This club has gave us many highs and way too many Low's.
But to be "Mind blown"
Nothing will ever compare to appointing the washed up , disrespectful, ignorant, , disgusting ex Kopite Benitez.
Disastrous appointment and still sticks in the craw and shame on the idiots that brought him in and those that supported him while he was here.
It's miles ahead of anything else.
 

There's been a few

The Benitez one would definitely be up there.

Similar would be the sale of Anthony Gordon - not because I thought the fee wasn't tempting, but because he was our top scorer at the time and we were in a relegation scrap and we didn't sign anyone at all to replace him.

The sale of Duncan Ferguson - difficult to remember now, but the cult of Big Dunc was so huge that it effectively forced out the chairman.

In good ways - walking out into Bramley Moore for the first time. A genuine mind blown moment of something Everton have done well.

Appointing Ancelotti - ok, it didn't last long but i remember thinking at the time "how on earth have they pulled this off?"
 
I've been fortunate enough to witness our great teams win things, moments that many have mentioned but I have to say, Sunday was a bit special. It reminded me that Everton is not just about footy or glory hunting, it's a beautiful, big, crazy family. The scenes and togetherness in and around the ground felt like a spiritual experience. Everton are Magic.
 
Me arl fellas hairy arse watching Charlie George score against the darkside in the 71 cup final.
We had been invited to watch the match at a RS mate of his on his brand new colour television.
I could never understand why my dad was invited he must of feared the worst when we arrived at the door him with a big Arsenal rossette and me with an amber and blue scarf on.
 

Rooney scoring against Arsenal.

Felt like the world was going to change.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the outside of Goodison Park so animated after a match as it was that day right along Bullens Road and where it met Gwladys St. with fans still singing or on their phones telling people who were’nt there about the goal— unbelievable scenes with the prospect of much more to come from this football genius- then you know who let United rob him off us—with the robbery taking place over a few years while they paid us!
 
A pal who was waiting to get into the Bullens stand on Sunday explained getting in early was a nightmare as so many had the same idea and security was hyped up, only that fans weren't being checked for knives and guns and explosives, that the door staff were more arsed about finding allen keys and screwdrivers. :lol:

I got there around 10-20 am outside the turnstiles and they never opened them ‘til after 10-30am, the street was pretty quiet to be honest Rita, but the young steward, who I’d never seen before, asked me what was in the carrier bag I was carrying— I gave it to him, I’m an auld fella with a walking stick— what did he bleedin’ think was in the bag! There was three small parcels in the bag— what’s in those parcels he asked, I said feel them, they were silk banners wrapped up, what are you going to with them he asked—wipe my backside on them I thought of saying but instead told them they were for three ladies who sit by me and Inwas giving them the banners for putting up with me for the last few years—-Sherlock bleedin’ Holmes had nothing on this fella!
 

First time as a child I came up those steps in the main stand on a miserable wet November Saturday in 1983 against Norwich and seeing the pitch lit up with the floodlights and the pre match music blaring out. Beaten 2-0 with 2 injury time goals of course. Nothing has ever matched that feeling of innocence and excitement
 
Signing Lukaku permanently after the season he had on loan - that video of Martinez at a friendly (or scouting mission I forget) giving the thumbs up to the blue asking if Rom was coming home.

Ancelotti and subsequently James Rodriguez. Although I think he'd still have wound up going to Madrid at some point, I'd love to see an alternate universe where our finances were stable and Madrid didn't sack whoever at the time so that I could see what Ancelotti could have done.

Benitez.

Being 2-0 down against Palace facing relegation.

Tarkowski derby goal this season.


And one that didn't at the time but does now: "Good Ebening Jim!!!!"
 
Graham Poll blatantly cheating on live TV disallowing Don Hutchison's goal for zero reason.

He should have been banned from refereeing that night.

Just as well he didn't go on to make any more horrific refereeing errors to a worldwide audience eh?
