I'm so numbed now I didn't get worked up about that chance. Tho' I did accidentally smash the handle of my lovely GOT Mug* in the first derby through sheer excitement as Rooney slotted the pen. Since then Everton have done their best to numb me into oblivion.
At the very least Sam should've recorded one derby win from the three he's had. He hasn't, so he gets no more slack from me.

If EFC sold official branded coffee mugs, they would be handle-less : symbolic of the fact that EFC haven't got a handle on anything

Can't argue with that article. Since we are currently on 41 points with 5 left to play I could see us winning 2 of them and ending on 47 points, the exact same points total in the 2 failed Martinez seasons.
Yet in those Martinez seasons:
2014/15: Wolfsburg (H) - won 4-1, Wolfsburg (A) - won 2-0, Young Boys (A) - won 4-1, Man United (H) - won 3-0
2015/16: Got to 2 semi finals
This season has been one of the most disappointing in years, with no stand out games. That's not to try and make out the other 2 were any good as they were dire as well, but at least there was the odd good game for the fans to enjoy.

Well said mate. We must be the most predictable team in the world, across all sports. There never seems to be any chance these days of a result that goes against expectations and the management and players just react accordingly and go through the motions.
It's actually gone beyond being boring, I could live with that if we could grind out a decent win now and then even, but no. It's insulting to the fans and they are just taking our support for granted.
Exactly as you say - this is the inevitable result of what happens when a 7th placed finish is seen as the holy grail no need for anyone to raise expectations any further.
What bothers me most at present is the realisation rival fans come to when we play their team - to a man and woman they all say they can't believe how dreadful we are with players that have no fight and can't even do the basics properly. It's humiliating.
Enough is enough.

Very true. Your post prompted me to try and think of one game this season where I left the ground reasonably satisfied with a game of football, the only game that gets close is West Ham.
Dire return for over £500 rips of hope.

Hajduk Split at home was alright too but not amazing.

Welcome back Wayne
Not really,he’s just saying it was a missed opportunity and it was. DCL has been a decent player this year and will only get better, but he had the opportunity to do an Andy King and didn’t take it...and it probably does sum up this whole cretinous season.
I still find it hard to either believe or accept that somehow we have Sam Allardyce, Sam bleeding Allardyce, as our manager.........

Imagine if we had a manager from a reality TV Show with no experience managing our football team hey Pete.

This season has been horrendous, and it easily our worst ever PL season, with the money we spent. i don't really remember the Wimbledon season but i do remember the Coventry one and had goal line tech existed then we would have been relegated as Bolton had a clear goal disallowed against us. i'm sure we put better performances in then this season
This season we have played well in two and half games, West Ham, Appo away and 1st half vs Split. The rest have been awful.
We have had no real bright sparks, DCL, Holgate and Davies have gone backwards with the terrible management, Lookman out on loan, Vlasic and Klassen can't get near the squad let alone the team.
We have a completely clueless manager that 100% of the fan base want out. We have a completely useless DOF, who excuse for not buying a striker was " last year we would of finished 7th with out Lukaku"
I felt a bit sorry for Koeman, although he did a bad job he repeated over and over and over we need a striker and left back and was let down totally by Walsh.
The club needs a new DOF and looks like we are getting one(Brands) and a new manager, which also look likely.

Indeed.
The late renaissance was very much to do with his introduction as a sub.
