Going for a 2-1 win today. Little bit of a nervy one this!
There's a couple of trains of thought over where we are as a club and where we should be. For example those of you growing up with Everton in the nineties may be revelling in the relative comfortable finishes and occasional doing over of a top team. For many of us our eyes have seen the glory so everything else is a pale imitation. Finishing sixth with what we've got is about right though, it's just typical that it probably won't be enough for Europe and a bit of a let down as we'd hoped for somewhat more. That Kevin Brock moment is a long time coming again.
Oh no...your previews been cheering me up so much, but this is got me down. Four games left and we got to go out and believe they are all as important as a cup final. You are right about missing the glory moments but they have always come out of the blue at Goodison. The years before 84 and the cup win in 96 were miserable, proper misery. I just don't think we are cut out for steady success but this strangely enough is the closest we have come to it in my lifetime despite no trophy. finishing sixth seems to be the problem but its just a number. we got some exciting players in and others have let us down, but we have looked like a much worse side when we have finished sixth before and there has never been a point in the game when the dice seems so loaded for certain teams.. my mate told me about Taoism..you wake up everything morning, learn from what has happened but let it go, you think where am I and how do I make the most of this and what do I do next. You play Barkley and you buy a centre half. its not deluded to think we can win away to Chelsea and Liverpool, its just tough. so many people go on about sounding like reds but all this ..'no point in this. we not gonna win anything' is pure LFC. Hope you back with the believers soon sir.
We nearly won at WHL and the Emirates, just needed to take our chances better.Which both resulted in draws![]()
