Whom do you refer to? I know you are as you have discussed that you are.

I call my bread based products Barms not Batches lid.

I'd hate to see us start "bigging ourselves up" when we have only won 1 trophy in 25 years to be honest.

A cold hard but correct point like.

We don't want to turn into Newcastle mate,I agree.

See, I'd argue that that's the mentality that causes us problems. If you think that way, you'll never win anything as you're on a self-perpetuating defeatist mindset and you become afraid of succeeding.

I know that sounds very "Brendan" but it's true nevertheless. I'm not saying we should sing "we're by far the greatest team" and believe it word for word; but we should have the belief that every single game we play at Goodison we are the favourites to win, and that each of the remaining games of this 38 game season we have should be played with the attitude that we're one of the top four or five teams in this league and we should go out and impose ourselves as such.

There's nothing embarrassing about believing you can win.

i'm happy to say we're favourites every home game. man city i would count as the hardest, but we'd definitely be favourites if we were to play chelsea atm. i know people won't believe me because of hindsight but i genuinly expected us to beat man utd 1st game of the season - had no doubt in my mind if i'm honest. maybe if we start picking up the points we've deserved in the next 6/7 games, a lot more of us will feel similarly.

anyway, it'll take a couple of years of consistency for people to really fear us at goodison, the RS probably being the least fearful. a few wins on the trot, especially at hell will change that

Are you referring to stuff like this Tubes?

^^^ that's exactly the sort of stuff that riles me. Yeah, don't say "we'll definitely finish top 4" but ffs, we have some damn good players in this squad. Why the hell shouldn't we be looking to be ambitious and take on teams that are regarded as being better than us when in truth they're hardly that superior?

 

[chicoazul]

We've got the best team in a generation and what worries me is that we won't realise it's potential before it falls apart.

There are not many teams who are better than us in this league and this season seems an absolute gimme with the top teams unable to put runs together. One Champions League qualification could change the whole outlook for the club in the short to near term future.

Here's hoping we realise that potential. It could all go to sh*t but then that's the recent Everton way.

Wise words from Mr. Racism there. We need strikers that can come in when the one we have is out of form. We can't rely on the same one to be in form all the time.
