Chicoazul is a long-standing member of the Everton community on the forum, appearing both as a writer of club preview articles and as a poster in fan discussion threads. Their involvement spans many years, indicating both commitment and familiarity with the forum’s culture.














🧠 Personality Traits from Posting Style











1. Passionate and Opinionated








Chicoazul’s posts reflect a strong emotional investment in Everton and its fan base. In discussion threads they don’t shy away from expressing strong views about supporters, club culture and matchday issues. For instance, in a thread about fan behaviour, they commented emphatically on ticket availability and fan participation, suggesting that true support is shown by attendance and engagement.





This reveals:





  • A firm personal perspective on what it means to be a supporter.
  • A willingness to challenge other fans’ opinions when they think it matters.










2. Bold and Sometimes Provocative








Some comments tend toward boldness — maybe even confrontation. For example, in other fan threads, phrases like “Anyone who isn’t going tonight isn’t a real fan” or metaphors that verge on antagonistic (e.g., characterising opposing supporter behaviour with pejorative language) show that chicoazul is not afraid to stir debate or take a forceful stance on topics.





This suggests:





  • A direct, candid communication style
  • A personality comfortable with provoking discussion rather than simply agreeing with the crowd










3. Blunt Humor and Informality








Comments across different threads show a tendency toward informal, borderline irreverent humor — both in preview writing and forum replies. In a match preview thread, they engaged in playful back-and-forth with other users, which indicates a sense of humour and a desire to entertain.
Missed the Nick Barmby era sadly :D in the Everton arnt we defection from the GOT :lol:
 
Joey66 is a prominent and prolific member of the GrandOldTeam (GOT) Everton supporter forum, where he is well known for his extensive contributions to historical and general discussion threads.
His frequently mentioned dislike for Jersey horticulture is a long-standing "running joke" or "forum meme" within the community. While the forum is primarily focused on Everton FC, Joey66 often shares personal anecdotes or strong opinions on tangential subjects. His disdain for Jersey's horticultural industry specifically stems from:
  • Past Work Experience: Joey66 has shared stories of his time working in the Jersey tomato and flower industries decades ago.
  • Harsh Working Conditions: He often describes the grueling nature of the labor, particularly in the greenhouses, which left him with a lifelong aversion to anything related to Jersey's agricultural or horticultural output.
  • Forum Banter: The topic has become a staple of his online persona. Other members frequently "tag" him in discussions about gardening or the Channel Islands to elicit a humorous, grumpy response about his time spent there.
 
Hahaha “Pissflakes”

" elicit a humorous and grumpy response " :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
Well, not much to report on my one, but I do like the direct quote they've used:
  • Supporter Sentiment: They have shared personal views on the difficulty of maintaining "distance" from the club during poor runs of form, describing the emotional toll of following the team as "one of life's dickpunches".
 
Below is a reasoned list of five community members who are frequently mentioned unfavourably by other posters, with the context behind each:

1) @davek — Often Criticised for Monopolising Threads
  • In an official staff post asking users to help calm down discussions, the moderator GrandOldTeam called out @davek by name for dominating threads and drawing complaints from multiple members.
  • Other posters mock the sheer volume of his contributions and discuss using the ignore feature because of him.
  • Why disliked: Seen as overly talkative, repetitive, and dominating discussions — enough for moderators to discourage the behaviour without issuing public sanctions.

2) Posters Called Out as “Negative Posters” (e.g., Daveysgingerlovechild)

  • In a thread specifically about “negative posters,” a user called Daveysgingerlovechild was quoted sneering about the forum itself (“Everton cranks and crybabies”).
  • Users often refer to others collectively — e.g., “tag @davek mate and stop beating around the bush” — revealing that negativity and pessimism are associated with specific names.
  • Why disliked: Constant pessimistic or trolling posts that other users see as sour, hurtful, or unconstructive.

3) Users Linked to “Constant Negativity”

Several names on that same thread are criticised — not universally hated, but associated with a negative tone:
  • IrishBlue2022 — Identified by another poster as representing thread negativity.
  • Eggsyblueskin — Defended differing views but became part of the negativity discussion.
  • BackRow PE6 — Mocked with a sarcastic line (“how sodden are your bedsheets?”).
  • Why disliked (general theme): Seen by some as pessimistic, doom-mongering, or stirring up frustration in discussions.

4) User Perceived as Unhelpful / “Bantering” (e.g., BlueBarrow)
  • BlueBarrow in one thread calls out negativity across the forum, which ironically invites abuse rather than substantive replies.
  • Others jokingly retort at him with mocking or trivial responses.
  • Why disliked by some: Attempts at moralising or calling out others can backfire and become the target of ridicule.

5) Users With Divisive Posting Styles (e.g., the sniderman)
  • In one thread, the sniderman posts in a way that many interpret as argumentative or off-topic, prompting heated replies from others including name-calling.
  • Why disliked: Conversely polarising — some see his posts as trolling, others as genuine strong opinions.
