That was not a match under scrutiny.

Hahaha,sure is.
It does.
I am talking about the sheer euphoria and relief at the end of that game which engulfed everyone in Goodison that day in a way I have never experienced before or since.
It is on days like that one knows how deep in one's soul one's football club is embedded.
It was the sleepless nights in the week leading up to the game.....the missed meals.....the butterflies in the stomach.
Not that I ever want to through owt like that again......but it it wasn't for the bad days you wouldn't know what a good day felt like.
Now all's we need is a few good days.....

Yarmolenko ? Yes please
Oh come on. You would of saved that Barry Horne effort.
No, sure Walker only came on board in January.
We were already in trouble by the time he came after Howard's disastrous second term......didn't we lose about five on the trot in the lead up to Christmas?
But it wasn't about who got us in trouble or who didn't.
It was the one day in any if our lives when we went into the last day of the season with relegation looking likely and the situation out of our hands.
When we played Cov a few years later a win would have saved us no matter what happened elsewhere.
That wasn't the case with Wimbledon. A win guaranteed us nowt.
That match was much more important than any other game we have been involved in during my lifetime of going the game.
If we had gone down that day who knows when we would have came back up again.
No sir.....I have been to all the glorious games we gave been involved in since 1970 when pots were lifted and titles claimed.....but Wimbledon Day is the one I cherish the most.
Truth is very few of our players have actually played under a top manager because very few have actually achieved anything of note in football.
Howard and Gibson played a little under Ferguson and Lukaku had one game under Mourinho.
But mostly who are they going to say, oh yeah that guy who got us to 9th one time was great.

We were in the top half when Howard left. Problems came after that really. (Although writing was on the wall a bit)

Yeah because Walter had baines, jags, barkley, coleman, lukaku and mirallas to name a few ?
Walter was bad but i think the whole club was struggling at that time, we must take into account that managers are only as good as their resources these days.

Walter could have bought those players.
How do the 'oh the club was struggling' bunch explain the fact we were 7th a year later and 4th within 3 years of him going.
He was terrible, end of.
It does.

You make good points
The sheer defiance of us staying up that day when pretty much everyone had written us off is as Everton as it gets
Kopites showing up as the gates opened at the end so they could peak inside to Everton relegated
The sheer relief of surviving it all
I can see why that would be a fond memory
It's partly the reason I chose to support Everton back at the time
But Mike Walker was a massive, MASSIVE bell
Baines = Pistone
Jags = Mazeterreezzzi
Barkley = Dacourt
Lukaku = Radzinski
Mirallas = Alexanderson
