Is it April the 1st?

[Dutch Toffee]

Wait and see is the name of the game. When there is something to know, I have a sneaking suspicion that we will know, well ahead of the snides. Do we need to make some moves, yes. Do we need to telegraph our transfer intentions and needs? Nah, no, never. You never make your intentions known to your enemy unless it is necessary in satisfying said intentions. Make no mistake about it, every snide reporter with a recorder and everyone out there not wearing Everton blue is the enemy. If I have to wait to find something out for the good of the club, then cool. I can wait. Also, I am not gonna beat up on Moyes or the club. I have vented a bit of game day frustration, and stated that Saha is in danger of being embalmed because he moves and scores about as much a as a corpse, but I am not gonna come down any harder than that. I know absolutely nothing about running a club, so until Everton begin Logistical Intra-Theater Air Cargo movement and airdrop, I am gonna leave it to them, and hope for the best. Gonna don my best blue/pink/vanilla kit and raise hell for the boys in Blue every time we take the pitch. Win, Lose, or draw(mostly draw), at the end of the day we are better, because we are Everton, and they are not.

Amen to that.

Anything in particular grinding your gears mate??

i rarely get involved in transfer talk. It's like predicting the weather...it looks like its gonna poor down, then it just.....doesn't.

Just xmas depression and Everton being on its arse and some fans sticking the knife in because they think its the right thing to do.

Supporter or criticiser; its not a polarised choice but if it came to it I know which side I'm on.

I know what you mean.

For example, when I first came on this forum, I couldn't believe some of the things I was reading. I read the OS and went to the match but that was about it...

I'm defo more a supporter than a criticiser.

We've got some real quality players that make other teams look absolutley crap when we play together well. We've been brilliant at times this season but just not got the results. It happens. [Poor language removed] happens.

Lack of money in the club pees me off, not coz i think we should buy Messi, but coz you know as well as I do, it costs us friggin loads to get up and watch the blues, only to get a crap expensive pendelino train, a cold pie, warm chang, and squeeze into our wooden restricted view seat.

When fans are ****ging off the club, i can only assume its coz they care...????

EFC is my religion. I will follow this great institution through thick and thin. The harder the times - the louder i'll shout & sing.

I hate it at Goodison when we are losing and its soooo quiet.

I wish everyone would start going mad like some of these European clubs do. Jumping up and down, getting behind the lads.

It must do wonders for the players when your 1-0 down, trying to get going and you've got 35,000 Evertonians cheering you on...

Sure, but its all this taking the players side crap I don't like.

Speaking about trains I got my pendelino booked to come up for Chrimbo, gonna catch the Boxing day match, bit of a tradition that one. I got a first class booked at an extra fiver. I've been trying to get a brekkie on a virgin train for ages now, but they always seem to weedle out of it. I bet they'll blame the snow this time. Thats if the trains are running.

A bit of weather is likely to destroy civilisation in england.

I'll be up for boxing day seeing the family and watching the game. That's if anyone remembers to grit the M1 and M6, as i've heard the latter is currently shut.

Got a good feeling about the Birmingham game. That could be a good 6 pointer for us. Goodison should be rammed, as after my initial post/rant about crap tickets, i went back on the OS eTicketing and they're nearly sold out as far as I could see. At least my tickets have come in the post. No prezzies have like.

Whereabouts you sitting?

Main stand, behind Moyes somewhere, only further back.

The cheap seats like, I don't do corporate.

Agree with this.

Yes, I know the players should be doing stuff on the pitch to lift the crowd but sometimes the crowd really needs to lift the players. It does nothing but make them more nervous if there are moans and groans everytime a pass is misplaced. I think the players much prefer playing away at the moment because they know the fans won't be anxious and getting on their backs. Hopefully we can get it together and win and have Goodison rocking on Boxing Day!

I had a few choices. Was gonna snap up a few at the back of the gwladys street behind the goal, but i've sat there loads and the view ain't always great, even though the atmosphere is great.

I sat in the top balcony for the Derby and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sat up there since I was a kid. Great view, so I booked 3 near the halfway line on one of the back few rows of the top balcony. It'll do. I like the Pro Evo view. Helps me see what's going on more and evaluate players better...(spent too many days looking at the curvature of the pitch from the family enclosure, although back then Big Dunc was like the Burj Khalifa)...

.

Or maybe its looking at a scenario with an open mind and giving an opinion taking on board both sides of the argument.

I don't really see many people on here if any blindly "taking a players side" against the expense of the club.

What i do see is some people not jumping to conclusions, not turning on our players over newspaper rumours and hearsay. But taking a balanced view of things.

And most importantly continuing to support the club and the players. Because they are one and the same, without one there would not be the other.

Not the way I see it.

How many players are f*cking us off, agitating for moves? More than is fair I'd say given the money they are paid. How many have successfully achieved that of late. Quite a few. I'll be cheering my club on but not the players that presume I can empathise with wanting greater and greater amounts of money for doing a [Poor language removed] job. And the players that are willing to do that by running their contracts down and leaving for nothing.

There's a friggin recession on, and half of em cant even play football adequately. They should try living on their weekly salary for a year.

For me, the players are not the club. Never have been.

The fans and the community are the club, the players if they are lucky become fans whilst playing at Everton. Then they have a stake in it, the magic.

You take these players away and another set can fill their void. Take the fans away and the club folds.

Moyes after 'three' in January...loans, that is.

We'll end up with two, one of whom will be James Vaughan, and the other Leon Osman who'll be like a new signing.

 

[fozzy]

How about a moratorium on sl@gging the club off.

Ok so we aren't setting the premier league on fire and Moyes is having a tough year.

But the relentless attacks on the club recently are just too much.

thats not ****ging the club!!! as you say they are ALL replacable in the end!
