Crying Press Articles

[Tel001]

Seriously, this first line from McNulty really irritates me. I get it, we're celebrating being the least worst 4 teams in the country.


"Annual celebration"? just so condescending.

But also factually correct … I’d rat her be celebrating than doing whatever burnley, Leeds and Leicester fans were doing

 

[the golden visionary]

Our situation is analogous to a family that cannot sleep because their smoke detectors keep chirping, yet they are unaware of how to replace (or even remove) the 9V battery that is the source of the problem. Some families with this problem learn to ignore the chirping and sleep soundly anyway. Some of us have been asleep for years, now. Some of us have been awake so long that we contemplate murder.

Everton FC = the smoke detector
The Everton Board = the 9V battery

We would be better served with no board than this board. Replace the board and keep the house from burning down, while you are finally able to get a good night's sleep. If you do not believe that people exist that cannot figure this out, you do not listen to American talk radio call-in shows. ("hold it, is that a smoke detector making that sound?')

We need an aico with a 10 year lithium battery

 

[Toffeepot]

He's making the point that this wasn't a one-off, it's what the club is now. A team that struggles to survive every year. And he rightfully points out that it's the board who have turned us into this.

He's one of the few in the mainstream media who calls this board out for what they are and wants to see Everton be better.

Absolutely
I appreciate his being direct
'Annual Celebrations' of survival are what Kenwright's celebration of mediocrity has turned us into and pretending it's anything else is not constructive

Three times in seventy years,not bad .

...2 for 2 though, that's as annual as it gets
