Vet every fan of Everton with a highly briefed hit squad. Go round neighbourhoods and knock on doors, ring them up, Skype if you have to and chat to them about Everton and stuff.

The following is a list of red flag (kopite) material that should cancel their fandom of Everton:

• Calling Everton Everton.
• Taking an unhealthy interest in foreign leagues
• Calling players by nicknames like Jags, Peanuts etc.
• Cry arsing at half time when its nil nil.
• Using the term "marquis" signing.
• Calling trainees "webs".
• Preferring Sayers or Greggs.
• Fuming at John Stones.
• Obsessing over transfers above the age of 13 years old.
• Proclaiming Everton are back because they're linked with Man Utd rejects.

I actually agree with everyone of your points especially the 1st one. Regarding the last 2 points i agree with you but surely you cant be that miserable not to accept some fans getting over excited with certain players were linked with. I am lucky enough to have seen us win the league and FA cups, Cup winners cup albeit only young at the time. some of our fans have seen absolutely nothing!!!

stop pretending they're boss euro scouts because they watch Belgian players on YouTube

This bit I am with you on. In some ways I can stomach YouTube scouts - they actually see the player.

But these footie management games, or whatever 'FIFA' is, seem to be licence to judge a player without ever actually seeing the real, actual live human actually play football. That's daft for me.

The fans who have seen nothing don't deserve it and are stopping us being successful by trying to immitate the arl fellas by doing a key of bad beak in and screaming at an Everton to show its just not good enough.

Isn't any player we sign from amuch 'bigger/wealthier' club etc by definition going to be their reject mate, even at our best in the 80's we signed other teams rejects who didn't exactly do bad for us di they?

btw i know the point your making about the Geordiefication of the fans etc, but like you do love to do mate, you do go to the polar extrteme to make a bigger point and in doing so you kind of lose the common ground by doing so.

Equally you could gom on about the people who equally annoyingly post a constant negative diatribe and revel in portraying us as a joke club effectively, i know which mindset out of the two is more likely to keep the club in the doldrums

So do I. The deluded FIFA wheeler dealer transfer monkeys.

You haven't the capacity to psychoanalyse my posts Stevo so stop that right there too.

Using FIFA or FM to make decisions about football players is like using Call of Duty to decide how you should fight if a war ever broke out, they are games designed to let you to win regardless of skill

Played the old champ manager years and years ago and ended up with Messi at my second division spanish side at 25 for 25k, so yeah that sums computer games up, god knows what they are like these days, but guessing equally as wide on the mark on most things

 

[Moomin]

Why because someone bought us who's richer than the last guy but doesn't have the wealth to make us compete for the league on a sustainable basis?

Or should I meet the home coach in for the Spurs game with MAKE US DREAM banner and pyro?

Think back to the 90's, Peter Johnson bought the club and we all thought " This is it, bigtime we are back " promises of Big signings which we did. Promises of a new stadium which never happened and as soon as his personal business suffered he was off in a flash.

Farhad could do the same, or be brilliant for us.

Think I will have to delve into this further and do a thread later on about it. But, it's got me thinking.

Hmmm could probably give it a good go mate

but will leave that till another day, when you vault me massively on something



keeping my powder dry ...

 

[Bainesy's Left Peg]

C'mon lads...Let's not get too carried away here; surely people have a right to be excited as it looks like we now have the financial clout to be competitive in the transfer market (such us missing out on Payet, Moutinho et al as we tried to pay on the never never).
Admittedly it's not happened yet, so reserving judgement also seems fair, but good reliable sources suggest change is afoot.
Personally the missed opportunities of decent squads that just needed a touch more investment to challenge have driven me effing insane, an improvement on that is welcomed by this Evertonian.

It's all gpoing to be about promises kept, the more half measures are done, then the more alarm bells should ring, with Johnson the signs where there in retrospect but only got picked up when the damage had been done

You can't psychoanalyse my posts as I chat utter bilge 80% of the time Stevo. It would be futile. Plus then I'd have to goad you into a fumeban as a matter of principal you bear fondling internet match making comrade.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Anything new on this front?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

@chicoazul is like that uncle who goes from jovial life and soul to nostalgic ranter after one too many whiskeys and ruins the party, popping all the kids balloons telling them that in his day he was up at 6am to ride 10 miles to even start his paper round and that he never had time for trivial things like balloons.

The bilge is what enables the analysis mate - but will save that till your on the couch

Don't knock the internet though mate, it's been scientifically proven to be better at realtionships than banging a bird on the stairs of the K at 4am in the morning for building long lasting realtionships (I miss my youth...)
