"Everton that......"

Mickey · March 4, 2018

Burnley under Dyche had never come from behind to win until yesterday, the epitome of "Everton that". Is "Everton that" a myth or based in reality?. Do other teams suffer the same only we don't take interest?.

..Carragher touched on this during commentary, saying something along the lines of “Burnley have got a dreadful record of coming back from being a goal down but if you could pick a team to break that duck against it would be Everton”.

I think every club definitely has it to some degree, but sometimes there can be BS things that can only be explained by some kind of Lovecraftian Cosmic entity who hates Everton.

Been that way for years. Any striker going through a lean patch, plays us, scores. Teams likewise. We are the demon anti-stats.

I've lost track of the number of times a player breaks a long scoreless drought against us -- Deeney being the latest. But I suppose it might seem worse than it actually is because we're struggling. If we were comfortably top four, those instances would be relatively meaningless.

Because we have a loser's culture. Have had it since 90s. It's worse than ever because we signed players from teams who were flirting with relegation every year. Hardly going to breed a winning mentality.

To a point but I can remember it going way back when...

We’re a community club, s family club, a ‘nice’ club which does nice things like helping other clubs out if they’re playing badly and/or helping opposition strikers out if they’re in a lean patch.
We’re a kind, accommodating club which gives its players comfy long term contracts and full English breakfasts.
Yes, we might be a little poo at togger, but we do nice things around the city...and we do a wonderful blue Chrimbo.
Lovely club, lovely lads,...that’s us, that’s Everton...Everton that

Defo a curse. Confirmed when Soldado broke a scoring drought for Spurs against us.

Just seems to be us, teams on losing streaks beat us, new strikers score on there debut or 1st ever goal against us.
John Stead scores every time he played at Goodison couldn’t hit a barn door anywhere else

Brighton beating Arsenal. If we would have beat Watford and Burnley we'd be 5 points behind a falling apart Arsenal.

I agree it appears like that but is that because we're watching when they break their duck because we watch Everton. Would West Ham fans be filled with dread if the commentator mentioned an oppo player hasn't scored in 10 hours?.
