Comparison to 1998-99.

I don't know about the rest of you but this season is beginning to look a lot like that season,we had a newish owner,we spent a lot of dough that summer on the likes of Collins,materrazi,dacourt etc but somehow things just didn't gel on the pitch,i don't think we even scored a goal at home for six games,the football was drab and boring too,it was a long old season,just seemingly like this one, apologies in advance for sounding like a figure of doom!!

Had a useless boring dinosaur manager then as well

And yet I'd sooner have Walter Smith then any of our last three managers! (Four if you count Rhino!). At least he wasn't intimidated by the RS.

I really am struggling even caring anymore. Rooney aside, am struggling even caring about any players, Managers I can’t stand, just had enough really as I don’t see anyone at Everton capable of changing anything on field.
At least back then I still had the youthful naivety to think it would turn around and we will be great again.
Nope.

The difference being we had Super Kev. Let's hope there's an imminent acquisition from Turkey who'll score a few.

If he's half as good as Kev he'll do me!

We really could do with someone like him. He was one of the few good things about that era.

Nope.

This is now my mantra, just before kick off, in every bloody game.

 

[nsno-chris]

Yep,the blessed Walter!

Remember when he played 5 centre backs in one game.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I actually enjoyed watching us back then, that’s the difference.
