Everton That

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Signing Gazza, Ginola, Sparky, Etoo, Rooney and others years after they might have been able to help us actually achieve something on the pitch.

Letting Moyes go to United and giving him an ovation for doing so.

Having signed the twenty stone Espen Baardsen for some unknown reason and then having an injury crisis actually have to use him. We dove over three balls at Spuds and the Euro charge falls short by three points.

Bringing the Dome back for the third time.

Selling Alan Ball to Arsenal on the basis he was finished; they went on to win the double.

The list could go on, I cannot.

Cried my eyes out over the Bally one then wrecked my bike with blurred vision. Absolute worse feeling for a little nipper.

English football had the worst reputation in Europe mate. Maybe you are too young but if hooliganism (and racism) wasn’t rampant in English football there wouldn’t have been a league-wide ban. Leeds and Man Utd were banned individually for rioting in the 1970s before it took off across the board in the 1980s. Everton had the most notorious hooligan firm in the north of England (county road cutters). And for racism at Everton, ask Les Ferdinand.

Everton never had a gang called the county road cutters at the time.
Before the book came out it was never mentioned,
Everton didnt have a hooligan firm with any name at all in the 70,s or 80s. Plenty of hooligans but no name
You cant be notorious if you dont exist.
The only county road cutters around that time was a hairdresser's on county road opposite Hale rd that had it written on the side of the Building.
Have you ever met anybody saying they were in it in real life?.
This is by far the biggest Everton site , I cant think of any former members .
True there was a lot of racist incidents but it wasnt just Everton that had that most did at the time including Liverpool , (John Barnes had it prior to signing for Liverpool),Man Unt, leeds ,west ham , even city and villa , brum all had large NF support in the seventies ,something we never had .

Alan Ball wasn’t in the Arsenal team that won the double.

Is he eligible for a medal? As in genuinely, have they allowed him on the pitch at any point this season?

4 starts and 2 sub appearances in Europa so I presume he gets one. Seems he’s barely played the last couple of seasons though.

Was just looking at his Wikipedia before, an embarrassing turnout for the past two seasons.

 

[Crestfallen]

Finishing fourth and laughing at Big Red finishing behind us, before they duly went on to win the Champions League a week or two later after being 3-0 down. Everton then drawing a team in the qualifier who would make the semi finals, starting by knocking out Everton with the help of a legendary ref making a one game comeback before promptly retiring again. EV-ER-TON.

That trumps the lot. Utter deflation.

 

[Death]

Finishing 10th in the race for top 4!!!

Premier league points record for all teams for finishing 10th and not 7th.

Ev.

Was waiting for someone to summarise this, seconded.

None of them. No everton that moment is a favourite. We work beneath a curse - part of the rs pact with the devil. It needs some kind of spiritual seer to fix it.

Hope he comes back ASAP !!!!

You'd like to think you are worthy of a medal for playing in a final and winning it no matter what you did in competition prior.

Selling Lukaku not getting a replacement and giving DCL I don’t know how many games to prove himself (it was a lot I’ve never known a player get so long to prove himself) yes he improved and he has proved hes probably quarter of the striker Lukaku is, but it’s took him and age to get to that standard. In the process buying one of Italy’s hottest striker prospects and not playing him.
