Biggest 21st-century Disappointment?

[degsy]

Building a marvellous ground on the mersey, and in doing so it being the 8th biggest ground in the Prem, and as good as saying we are the 8th best team in the Prem and we are happy with it. I think we should have a count up, see how much we owe, build on the land behind the Stanley Park End & re-build the
whole ground to suit (I reckon 60 to 65 thousand) and ask the 'Rich Boys' if they want to stay or not, if no tell them to buggar off.

Post Virus...if there is one, there'll be more than us struggling to fill the ground we have.

2016 Cup semi for me we should of won that

The hope going into the champions League qualifier and the world's most respected referee cheating us out of our spot will live with me always.

The fact that it was Collina made it so much worse.

Probably the defeats in important games that we didn't deserve, Fiorentina and the FA Cup semi against Man United.

Against Fiorentina, I don't think I've ever seen a goalkeeper have a better game game at Goodison and Lukaku in the semi completely forgetting how to slot was heartbreaking.

I'm sure we'd have won both of those competitions had we made it through those ties.

Depends how you look at it I think. The derby record is excruciating because it's just a repeated kick in the balls. The Villarreal game has potentially had the biggest impact on the club because it could (not would) have been a game changer and that's disappointing. The aim of the game is to win trophies though, so as an individual moment it has to be the cup final for me. 25 years is a hell of a long time to go without winning a pot, we need to break that drought if we ever want to be taken seriously.

Having money in the club for once and literally wasting 80% of it on crap.

Fiorentina second leg was hard to take as we were so dominant. As others said the damage was done in the first leg thanks to a, quite frankly, cowardly performance (something we’ve all become accustomed to). I agree to some extent that we had a great chance of winning the whole thing had we got through that night as what was left in the competition was nothing to fear. Plus we had already beaten Zenit in the group stage. Knowing us, though, we’d have only bottled it somewhere along the line. Cliche, I know, but that’s only what I am used to watching Everton for the last 30 years.

However I voted for the 2009 Cup final. Never left a game so gutted. Walking out of Wembley and there were Chelsea fans barely arsed they’d won the Cup as they were basically becoming immune to winning trophies by that point.

The fa cup final. First goal drogba scored from a header when there were 5 defenders around him and he still managed to score.
Second goal it looked like a top corner hit from lampard on first view, looking at the replay Howard got both hands on it and it still went in

Ross Barkley's attitude.

Well, there wasn't.

Well, there wasn't.

Pause on 1.26

Just did and saw 2 (two) defenders “near” him, of which he outjumped both. Because he’s, you know, Drogba, and is boss in the air.

Allardyce, we have sunk to some depths over the years in terms of players signed, but that was a new low for me, especially towards the end when we could have pushed for europa but he continued with his draw first anything else is a bonus mentality.

The stadium build is happening due to the potential to regenerate the dock, for future projects and to make the city more appealling. Other than terrace houses, theres not much scope for future projects around Goodison, hence why it has taken years to find a suitable site. I'll be sad to leave Goodison, but I'm also very excited about what lies ahead. Unfortuately at this time we are the 7-8th biggest club and I just can't see us filling a stadium any bigger than 55k. Goodison works because it is full, if we have a stadium only 80% full, it wouldn't have the same effect.
To be fair it would almost cost the same to redevelop to Goodison than it would to build new from scratch
