2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Lelouch]

I’d say I’m in the majority, and yes, I’d also say the match going fans are better Evertonians. After all, that’s why we skit Liverpool fans who never go to Anfield. The club also ran a slogan to that effect ‘We go the game’.

Some mitigating circumstances do apply, mostly financial, obviously.

What an absolute load of tripe.

Maybe the club would be so kind as to provide him with a throne and crown when’s he’s at the match.

When you say 'better', what do you mean?

More insightful? Unlikely. If you can get a stream you're far more likely to see a better view of the pitch, incidents, tactics. You get replays, infographics of stats. On the game you get real-time. That's it.

If you mean more dedicated, there's a 10,000 fan waiting list if the club are to be believed. Financial circumstances change for people all the time. A match going fan last season may not be able to afford one this year. May never again. Are you saying you're better because you are lucky enough to be able to afford to go currently?

It's a shame when good posters like yourself say such ill-thought things.

Some utterly burning hot takes in this thread the last few pages.

I think what we can determine is that the Silva out gang are a bunch of mutants who should be banned.

Indeed, he is almost ready to put a challenge up against Blue Bill for 'Worlds Greatest Evertonian' by the sounds of things

Calm down folks. We are all (or most of us) behind the Blues and want to see things improve. No point slagging others off even if their cockeyed opinion rattles you. I sound like a saint which I am not.

So if your work moves you to the other side of the world are you suddenly less of an Evertonian?

There's no such thing as a supporter power level mate. There never has been.

Regardless of how much anyone wants there to be one. You're no more of a supporter than someone who doesn't attend Goodison Park. This club is for everyone, your elitism isn't part of the club's identity.

The club seem to deem it fine to use it as a slogan to say ‘we go the game’, why is that? It’s because they know Evertonians say that Liverpool fans don’t.

I don’t know where you’re from, but if you’re from the city, and went to school in the city, you’d likely have been in a minority of 3 or 4 Evertonians in the classroom. It’s likely all of them Evertonians would’ve went the match, meanwhile it’d be very rare for one of the Liverpool supporting kids to have gone. That’s what we would use to hit back at their taunts of us being crap. They’d never be there to see them be good anyway.

If someone has the financial means to go to the game and doesn’t go, how could anyone possibly think they’re on the same level as someone who has just forked out between £480-£750+ on a season ticket, or someone who pays £40+ every other week?

It’s easy enough to shut down a laptop screen and say ‘that was rubbish’. It inconvenienced the day for 90 minutes, it’s a bit different when you’re in the stands.

Plotters.

That would obviously fall under a mitigating circumstance.
