Everton's seismic turning points

[sisyphus]

Tomorrow could be one of those 'seismic' turning points for Everton , it just has that feel about it. I think recent events signal a turning point/seismic moment for Everton. Either we will turn a corner, be buoyed by Drenthe and gain confidence , attract a buyer OR the new signings will flop, and Kenwright continues to exert influence and refuses offers and we head to the Championship and players leave.

Seismic moments in the past (for me) have been:

1. Adrian Heath's famous goal in the League Cup from the sloppy back pass.
2. Arsenal dumping Everton out of the Lge Cup (was it '88?) . I was there that night it felt like the end of an era.

any others?

I honestly don't think tomorrow will change anything. On the pitch, a win would be great and a brilliant recovery after the opening day disaster. I don't think we'll play that well whatever the result. Prove me wrong, Everton.

eismic would be putting more than 7 past Villa. anything else would be business as usual.

Yeah like that 7, as in Everton 7-0 Villa.
No wouldn't that be wonderful and seismic of course.

No point mate, he stays 'on message' with his propaganda all the time.

Collina
Thatcher
Murdoch
Stretford

Four individuals right there that have had huge effects on Everton.

Losing 6 - 2 to Villa on 5/11/89.

Signing Ian Wilson. That's when I realised we were going backwards.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

That 5-0 win over Utd was seismic. Together with Sharpy's goal against the rs. Made people (the media) sit up and take notice of us

For me, selling Rooney was the point I realised that we really are set at a level where we'll never be able to hold on to top quality players without a seismic moment of its own or a decade or so of steady, consistent (c'mon, this is Everton we're talking about) improvement.

Bottling it in the FA Cup Final.

Not arsed if they had a bench worth £100m, we were winning and defended for 89 minutes.

It's all been a step back since then whilst City and Spurs have blown us out of the water.

Yup.

This is why it's laughable to suggest Moyes could replace Fergie at United. He doesn't have the mettle to win anything.
