Oh Davek!
Does your list of talents ever end David?
You know more about stadium design than Meis
You know the inner workings of of football financials
The inner working of the football club
You were going to be a pro yourself before an injury
And now you’re a body language expert

Its all about opinions. You're the one conferring expert status upon mine, not me.
No dave
You constantly state your opinion as if it’s fact, and talk like you actually know what your talking about , which the majority of the time you don’t.
What I also find interesting is that your opinion is always against the grain of what most people can agree is glaring obvious.

Oh, I wouldn't be without him. Unquestionably the most entertaining poster on the site.
I fundamentally disagree with Dave on many things, but if there's one thing I have learned over the years it's that when you strip back the contrary hyperbole and ludicrously provocative comedy stances, there is very often a small uncomforable kernel of bitter indigestible truth at the centre of his ostensibly preposterous arguments. It's the exaggeration that explodes his arguments and makes him simultaneously hilarious and a bad actor. Not to mention a traffic driver on here. But look very closely, and amid the madness is very often that grain of unpalatable, unswallowable truth.
Take the latest one that Moyes held us back. Now, on the face of it, that's an unfair charge to level at a very competent manager who has basically been our best since we were last relevant in the last century. Yet, it is undeniable that he was Bill Kenwright's indispensable shield, without whom the worst chairman in our history could not have continued his reign of weaponised nostalgic decline. Another manager would have openly demanded more from Kewnright, and gone if he didn't get it, but Moyes was a company man at heart as he diligently did his best without seriously rocking the boat. He then jumped ship without signing a contract extension that would have given us compensation. So, while Moyes did a really solid job for Everton, he certainly did an even better one for Kewnright who was unquestionably the individual who did more to "hold us back" than any other since Clive Thomas in 1977 or Margaret Thatcher with Heysel. Controversial? Absolutely. But arguable. Getting upset with Dave's confected flights of comedy fancy strikes me as more ludicrous than even his whipped-up arguments...

I remember Lescott’s first game at left back versus Watford(?) first game of the season, he looked a bag of nerves, had he ever played there before?
Didn't Barry start the second match? Also that's hilarious you'd employ that line of attack towards Moyes when defiantly clung on championing Dyche who was known to be extremely wary of players lacking premier league experience or known to be more technical in their skills
….given the situation last season, I’d be thinking he was the right man at the right time. He did very well with what he had at his disposal, he’s clearly a good manager to transition us safely to the new ground and hopefully give us a bit of stability and momentum for a more dynamic successor.
Be a major plus if he can win us a trophy but I’d expect his tenure to be relatively short-term.
don't know but he had a history of dodgy knees, I just thought he was a natural centre half, don't remember his first game as a left back, that'd some memory you've got pal ! Do remember him scoring and making lots of goals for us, in fact he was brilliant at left back that season for us. Then next season came that I'll rated European game where he was born a new one and Baines came in at left back and made the position his own and became one of the best left back in the PL era.
Very succinctly and eloquently put and much of which I cannot disagree with.
However, @davek would have a little more appeal to me if - even just occasionally - he tempered his negativity (or, at best, his critique of Everton) by also throwing in an occasional 'positive' perspective. Surely it cannot all be doom and gloom?
Haha brilliant but from .....August 16 ? I'd argue Dave has been successfully Mindhunting for at least 20 years.
