30 Years Of The Premier League

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

Here is our shirt from that debut premier league season.

Outside of Peter Beardsley and Neville Southall that Everton team was pretty mediocre, but the shirt was class imo.

...and Dave Watson.

Of course that was the season Martin Keown was swapped for Kenny Samson. I think that was a sign of things to come really.

This was the role of honour in August 1992. Liverpool 18 League Titles, Arsenal 10 League Titles, Everton 9 League Titles, Manchester United 7 League Titles, Manchester City 2 League Titles, and Chelsea had 1 League Title.

Thirty years later and here is the state of play, Manchester United 20 League Titles, Liverpool 19 League Titles, Arsenal 13 League Titles, Everton 9 League Titles, Manchester City 8 League Titles, and Chelsea 6 League Titles.

One poxy FA cup in that time, criminal.

Aye...good for us Keown, knew it was a big mistake letting him go (although he wanted to leave in the end).

One trophy in 35 years and zero attempts at a credible league title challenge since 1987, but we've still had good times apparently.?

I think Keown was seen as bit of an odd bod, by his playing colleagues. He seems to like Arsenal more than he does Everton as well.

Can hardly blame him, he won loads there.

 

[The Legend of Southall]

I actually watched the Premier League Years 92-93 recently and it was incredible how gaudy that first season was, with cheerleaders and fireworks after every game, and Sky doing the whole "This is the ONLY place you'll see live Premier League Football!!!"

They normally focus on the football on those shows but this one had so much self reverential back slapping that it almost made me feel ill

No Sky, you don't have to brag about how you had a big firework display after Man City drew 0-0 with Sheffield United at Maine Road

It was the beginning of the Americanisation of English football and it's only gotten worse as the years have progressed

Plus, I really hate when a TV company and streaming service brags about how you can only watch the thing you're watching with them. That's not a good thing. Hiding professional football behind an expensive paywall in order to line your own pockets is not something you should be bragging about. Football was the people's game and these TV companies came along and made it into a corporate brand where the actual supporters are the least important thing

It doesn't matter how many times you show Ryan Giggs making that slaloming run against Arsenal, or that 4-3 between Liverpool and Newcastle, or even the scenes at the end of the Everton/WImbledon game. The fact you own these moments and will do so for perpetuity, and far fewer people have seen them at the time as well as since on account of you essentially holding football hostage in your cavernous video vault, is not something you should be doing a victory dance over you self satisfied sacks of Rude Word Removed

*Stands and applauds ? ??

Of course i meant to say how dominant there.

Anyway here is some footage of our first ever Premier League game, it was a 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday at Goodison. Barry Horne scored our first ever Premier League goal.

The poor Owls of course in later years, would fall even further down the mountain than Everton.

Rare Nev error there. Beardsley and Waddle, two excellent footballers of their era on display.

I was a teen then, life felt so much simpler. Ah, nostalgia.

I'd love to travel on a DeLorean back to 1991 or 1992, and never come back to be honest.

You mean 1987.... ;-)

Of course we'll set the destination for April 14th 1984 onwards.lol

Edit: I changed the destination from May 1st to April 14th 1984, the day of that Southampton game at Highbury!

Love the blue wall at the park end. That's how it will stick in my mind years from now.
