A wonderful theory

I remember when England had Shilton, Clemence and Corrigan.
Seaman and Martyn.
Joe Hart aside, the rest are all very average for me. Take your pick out the rest, it doesn't matter.
The current crop of English goalies are not the same standard they once were.

How Everton Help Save The Premier League
This warm weather malarkey has led to a lot of sleepless nights. During these, I have had plenty of time to ponder life, the universe and football.

It is in this time I have had a startling revelation. There is a massive conspiracy in the world of the Premier League.

Everton football club conspire to be sh*te for half a season every year. On the outside it looks like each and every sodding season starts with boardroom turmoil, half the players not knowing if they have any future at the club, terrible pre-season campaign ideas and a lethargy of ideas on the pitch. Other teams - including Liverpool - conspire with Everton to beat them thoroughly and regularly until around Christmas time, allowing enough of a gap to develop between the 'leading' teams and the Toffees. It must be noted however, that Manchester City are not in on this act as they are defeated consistently by the Royal Blue Juggernaut.

The truth is that if Everton played as well as they could throughout the whole season then they'd run away with the league season on season. This would result in the stagnation of the Premier League and a drop in its overall following and revenue streams both domestically and internationally which would in turn cause splinter competitions to break off and rival teams imploding (or exploding, possibly). It would be the death of the game as we know it but for the annual sacrifice of the Boys in Blue.

They are not the heroes football deserves, they are the heroes football needs.

I'm afraid it doesn't. Some teams start of strongly and tail off as the season ends. We suffer the other way round unfortunately. If we can somewhat improve/rectify our slow doubt, a top five finish is where we could end up. We've endured this trend for the past three/four seasons and it's frustrating. I'd hope that moyes, on his 60k a week salary, would've figured out what's goes wrong from august to december.
 

Does kind of make you wonder just what we could do if we played well for the whole season! maybe just maybe we will get it right one year!

Every season feels like another wasted opportunity to progress. How long can we keep our squad together while we relive the same cycle season after season? If people can figure it out, maybe they should be inscribing diagrams et al and posting them first class to Finch Farm. My dad's own theory is that we should imagine that we're playing Man City every week.

The deja-vu experience is a more recent one.
Before that, we were simply rubbish for a season, then not bad for a season.
Before that, we were rubbish a lot of the time.
So to get the good half/bad half thing going on within the same season is some kind pennancey compromise!

However, Moyes is a stubborn mule and half the team have those photos of him down that alley.
