Talking about that Coventry game and the Kevin Brock back pass, no-one ever really talks about the round before when we were 1-0 down to Coventry and won 2-1 with two goals at the death.
The great old days.

Indeed, I wrote a post regarding that 3rd round tie against Coventry in best ever come back thread recently. Being a right sad stato, Coventry was in round 3, we then beat West Ham after a replay in round 4 before we played Oxford.

I was one of the 9,080 for the Coventry game though, in the paddock, Evertonians fighting amongst themselves with differing opinions, very much akin to the current situation!!

Do the rest of the fans, our players, our manager and our club all a favour and don't bother please. You have just helped to undo that fragile growing confidence in the team. Never been so angry in all my life at poisonous atmosphere at the minute.

Excellent quote, i did not see any lack of effort last night except maybe the fans who booed Barkley when you could see he was loosing confidence.

Well I was in the Lower Gwladys and pretty sure that if there was booing going on, it was a small minority.

Where have I heard that before...

You can feel the atmosphere when you walk into the stadium, it's poisonous, people turn up with all intention of booing as soon as something goes wrong, moaning if someone misplaces a pass from the first minute. If the supporters can feel it then the players must be able to ten fold.

Imagine getting boo'd at work everytime you done something wrong.

'Booooooo, they asked for a large fries!!'

If they were paying me £50k a week, they could pelt me with faeces!

Seems like the Booer war in here starring L4Everton as Chief Boer.

Carry on.

It's actually kind of funny... the fans are actually giving [Poor language removed] teams a great tactic to play against us at home. All they need to do is frustrate us for 20 minutes and the fans get all up on the team.

I wonder have the Tony Pulis' and the Sam Allardyce's of the world figured that out yet... oh wait.

Some teams have a crowd that is so supportive they're called the "twelfth man" ... right now the Goodison crowd is "a second ref" ... and that ref is Mark Clattenburg.

So you think being saturated in faeces would help you do your job? Because that's what we are (trying) to discuss here. Whether it helps or hurts. Obviously we all would happily take £50k a week to deal with a few boos (or a bit of faeces). Nobody disputes that.

I have seen very little counter-argument to the idea that it hurts our chances and lots of irrelevant comments about the right to boo or it's up to the players or 50k or whatever.

Sounds to me like maybe people know deep down it is hurting the players (whether it *should* or not is frankly irrelevant) but selfishly want to boo anyway ... cuz angry.
