Are we cursed as a club?

Hysterical rubbish at its worst.

What I have learned is that there are no items of lucky clothing/apparel, no lucky attendance or absence, no lucky seats, nothing I do makes a jot of difference.

What makes a difference is player attitude, hard work by players and support from the crowd.

Yep,I've gone down that line too over the years mate

Fingers crossed that you are right

Speaking as somebody who embraces science and thumbs my nose at superstition and religion: OF COURSE WE'RE CURSED FFS!! Just look at the stack of evidence. Ive long saud we need a priest and an exorcism more than we need a manager.

There are Evertonians that actually think this way, ignoring how bloody lucky we have been over the years.

We are seen as ‘long suffering’ mainly due to our proximity to the obnoxious RS, but if you take that bit out of the equation, the vast majority of football fans in England consider us to be jammy / lucky, in a similar manner to how we view the RS.

Voodoo curses again, here we go! Not possible that it’s a physical issue caused by our training pitches, no, that is tin foil conspiracy waffle. Danny Murphy sat at home pinning an Everton voodoo doll to death though, YES we’ve cracked the code.

We had Magnum as our physio in the 80s and that didn’t stop Nev / Bracewell / Heath’s injuries, so it has to be a curse.

Also, Inchy’s just been kidnapped.

Now I’m starting to think maybe it’s Adrian Heath that’s cursed and we’re just guilty by association.

Maybe you’re cursed?

…..something like this happens after a terrific win and you do wonder but then I think of all the turmoil, the points deductions and the last day survivals and we’re still here at the top table.

No, I don’t think we’re cursed.

On reflection we are truly cursed having to share our city with LFC. The past many years has been blighted by their dominance over us.

 

[Neiler]

Hopefully, imagine winning something - what we would me moan about then?

"That cup is too shiny".

 

[Lanolin]

Not sure picking up a couple of relatively minor injuries really counts as a curse to be honest. I doubt we get any more injuries than anyone else, it's just that we only ever have 3 or 4 good players at a time so when it's one of them it happens to it feels a lot worse than it does to better teams.

Witches, mate. It's the witches.

We need the Bramley trials to start ASAP.

The news about Grealish following on from the Dewsbury Hall injury has got me thinking,these two players have given our team a big boost this season and look at what happensnow I know you can say these are isolated incidents(well they’re not,look at the injury list!!) but we genuinely have had some terrible misfortune in my own time following Everton,Bracewell,I believed would have gone on to dominate our midfield for years,career changing injury,Joe Parkinson a fantastic player,lost to us,Big Nev broke his ankle playing for Wales,cost us the double and came back not quite to his previous impecability,I remember Kanchelskis signing then not being fit for three months too,Snodin,Heath both on brink of England call ups,severe injuries,many,many more,that’s just the tip of the iceberg and just the injury side of thingsdon’t get me started on other aspects such as PL deductions,World Wars breaking out,European bans,decisions given against us in huge gamesif someone can stick a poll up might be interesting to gauge people’s views?I’m ready to be labelled a moaning old cryarse

One would be forgiven for believing such a curse exists, Dario

Bigger squad and it'd be harder to notice. Spurs have about 8 out but can still throw a decent side out. If we lost five we'd be playing kids
