Is This The Worst Season In Living Memory (Relatively)?

[paultheblue]

I won't be buying the dvd

 

[deipnosophist]

Nah. There’s been worse.

This might be the most depressing though.

Think you’ve nutshelled it there mate; I do not recall a time when i’ve felt so disinclined toward Everton.They are a shambles on the pitch and off of it; an unambitious kennel of yard dogs. I don’t like them much at all.

 

[Blues Harp]

No.

 

[Nymzee]

Nope think finishing 17th was worse in 03/04

 

[Yarrgh]

Yes,
Other seasons we've had less capability but scrapers
Now we have spineless, over paid frauds (especially those called Morgan) who will leave if we get relegated.

Morgan would do a Rodwell without breaking sweat. Mind you he doesn't break into a sweat for anything. Imagine his wedge for doing nothing in the championship. Ker-ching!

It's ironic really as last summer was the best pre season in living memory.

Pickford,Keane,Klaassen and Rooney in early and plans for the new stadium seemed to be advancing well.Everyone was buzzing.

Then things just seemed to hit a brick wall with the amount of time the Sigurdsson transfer took to complete,whilst not getting a striker in.

Be careful what you wish for!

lol


As predicted by ol’ Khal back in November and several times since.

And I see those Watford owners are trying to save face by pointing the finger of blame at EFC for their dip in form, which was already in progress well before we became interested in him.

The reality is they are kicking themselves for costing themselves millions......the money they turned down from us and the compo they will have to pay Silva.

The atmosphere will be quite feisty when we go down there to play them lol

Thing is mate, Watford where a entertaining but flawed team - a transfer window into a Silva rebuild, soon as that 'team spirit' bubble was burst by Silva wanting to come here, and apparently 2-3 players 'knew' they'd be following the manager and form dropped on them after that, than the arse fell out the team.

I don't think Silva is a 'prefect' manager by a long shot, but think both teams he has managed have seen a really massive initial boost in results post hiring him (right now i'd feel more confident of staying up under him than BFS)

Get him in now, get that bounce in results, go into the summer on a positive vibe with the manager and next season could be one we look forward to rather than the current dread we'd feel

I think what has made this season feel so bad was the fevered (and probably overhyped) expectation from us as a fanbase. Having eaten at the ‘Hungry Horse all you can eat buffet’ for so many years, we were invited into the tea rooms at the Savoy and have sadly discovered that apart from the beautiful presentation, the taste and the subsequent journey though the digestive tract is identical! We are still producing poo rather than nuggets of gold.

It is a “no, thank you” and a bullet swerved from me, Stevon.

Hull’s collapse over the final six games of last season when they were starting to look safe was warning enough for me even before the new manager “bounce” at Watford started to wear off.

Silva is the very epitome of “flavour of the month” manager IMO.

Now.......having said that.

Would I rather he was here right now instead of Sam and the Merry Men?

Darn right I would

And I think there is every possibility Moshiri will tell him to sit tight and our job is his come summer.

But I cannot see him firing Sam now to fetch Silva in......that would be raising the farcical nature of this rotten season to even more ridiculous levels

Stilll, you never know with Moshiri

I'd actually give him a pass on criticising Moshiri if he actually took a decision to back up what he wanted all along when it became available mate, is he the answer - i honestly don't know, but i do know BFS is 100% not that answer

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I only know that I'm less bothered than I was

I work 50 hours a week from Monday to Friday and I don't like my job. I'm basically just getting through the week. Everton have always had to power to make or break my weekend fun to a greater or lesser degree. As a kid and a younger man Everton were closer to being the centre of my universe so the defeats and poor seasons hurt more. Having children and other hobbies mean that degree is lesser than it was, but it still puts a dampner on things.
The fact is, this season, I've reached the point where I don't expect any kind of football fix from Everton. I try to take the positive out of life so on one hand this is good. I'm more likely to to actually give the match a miss and have a game of chess with my son or watch a film with my daughter. I have a far better time doing that now.

In conclusión it's the worst season in living memory for me. And the best.

 

[People75]

It was like this last season aswell. Only then, it was because Lukaku did not run enough.

And soo on and soo on

 

[Agent Blue]

Yes, this is the worst season. At least in 93/94 we still had players who were proud to wear the shirt, thinking of Stuart here, unlike today's spineless mercenaries who couldn't give a toss about the club.
