Atmospheres at Goodison this Season

[Bluebonic]

At its best, the loudest in the Prem.

At its worst too! Nobody boo’s like we do, we could drown out the worst of them!

Having been a STH for 10 yrs Ive seen better teams and I've seen some top atmospheres ,a few that stand out Arsenal (3-0 Bobby Manager) and City 4-0 (Koeman).

However this last 3 months I think at least 3 of home games surpassed them all in recent history.

Leeds
Chelsea
Palace

That doesn't include United and late winner v Newcastle.

I was at the Wimbledon 94 game but I have never seen a turn out like palace ,our fans have woken up and I just hope this passion carries on forever, truly amazing .

But the team still has to do it's part. Imagine if we were a truly and constantly competitive outfit. Wow!

The change in atmosphere transformed our season and kept us up.

Under Benitez we got hammered by Watford at home and under Frank we beat Chelsea at home, yet the personnel involved were the same… aside from the fact that we no longer had Digne or James when we played Chelsea under Frank.

Although Frank is a better motivator than Rafael, the big difference was the crowd.

Big Nev said the other day: never underestimate how effective the crowd can be in lifting players psychologically and helping them to give their all.

The 12th man aphorism is so very true. Remember what Howard Kendall said about the Street End sucking the ball into the net against Bayern?

I think credit to Lampard because he united the fans and the players. I think at times, even as fans, we forgot why we support the club especially when Benitez in the realm and the players almost feel disconnected from us.

I hope the atmosphere at home will always be such, although it could be a tall order.

In the sanitised premier league where atmosphere's are hard to come by, it's been refreshing. We've had a lot of years of absolute nothingness, not challenging for anything at all. It got stale. Hopefully we can take it into next season, certainly beats moaning and groaning.

It was mentioned on one of the pods, I forget which that a big boost at HT v Palace was Alli coming out early to warm up.

Whilst he has hardly sparkled since his arrival, everyone in the ground could see Gomes wasn't working and a decision had been made.

It genuinely gave everyone a bit of a lift and we came out flying.

I've been going for 20 years and have never heard an atmosphere like the Chelsea game, had to sit in my seat for half an hour after to catch my breath

We have to keep it going next season, obviously it wont be the same pre match but during the games we have to keep the positive vibes making, make match day enjoyable again.

I’m not in to the ‘woooo’ in Spirit of the Blues. It should be banned and replaced with an instrumental.

it’s not a tall order, fans players as one.

It's the best bit ooooooooooooooh
Makes me chuckle everytime.

 

[Upper Bullens Blue]

I love the ooooo. I also love the retro songs coming back - Goodison Gang particularly. Now all we need is a plain blue shirt and white shorts, some white Alan Ball boots, and rattles placed on every seat for the opening game of the season.
