Negativity against Everton - figure of habit , sticking with trend or justified .........

[Muggins]

Honestly mate, sod all we say on here will make any difference.

Another blame the fans shout, I genuinely live for this lol

It's a snowball of negative vibes. I'm going tomorrow so will be singing my heart out for the blue boys and hopefully the "boo boys" will stay behind their keyboards. COYFBB

Some of those 'boo boys' will have been at Watford with me singing our hearts out all game while all those cowards on the pitch and in the dug-out pissed all over us Everton fans who were there.

They should stay at home. Booing the team is counterproductive like at Wembley the other year for example.

Can’t just blindly be positive about something that’s clearly going wrong. The fans want the best Everton possible, that’s a more positive intention than any that the board, players or manager have currently.

Booing should be left till the game finishes, but I'm not going to have a pop at those who decide to boo a player/the team during a game, and whilst I may not agree with it, if another blue wants to do it, then they have every right to if that's how they feel. It's not as if the booing isn't deserved by the way.

It's not as if the booing isn't deserved by the way.

Why would they fight for us if we don't fight for them? I've never got the logic myself, we want them to fight every second for the fans but when something goes wrong we boo. I go mad when it happens.

YOU HAVING A GO AT THE FANS LAD?

That's the problem though mate, when you've got the likes of Schneiderlin strolling round the pitch not arsed, then you can understand the booing of the likes of him. Also, I think it's just the mentality of every footy fan, they need the team on the pitch to give them something to get behind, a bit of effort, some fight, look like they're hurting when going a goal down (our players just put their heads down looking at the ground, and if I see Williams putting his shirt over his head again...!) so when you're getting served up the gash footy like we are, it's hard to get behind it.

At Arsenal, away fans were leaving after 20 minutes, loads went at half-time, the away end was nearly empty by the end of the game, that's how disillusioned fans have become, everything about the club at this moment is toxic.

Plenty of cause for the negativity at the moment, but it's also a lot to do with the nature of the internet. Football forums will always attract more 'glass half empty' types. That's just a fact of life.

We do seem to have an awful lot of ‘glass, what glass?’ types too though, indeed we have some who would strenuously deny the existence of glass, insisting that the only water they see is the salty drops of their own tears.

We are entitled to be negative. This was meant to be the year of the mythical second coming of EFC, or at least the start of it.

Look at the media fuss over Arsenal at present - one guy saying things were as bad as Terry Neill's time in the 80s.

I read it and said for Gods sake get a grip man with your two FA Cups in three years.

We seem to exist in a perpetual purgatory - falling behind the elite ever further but not close to being relegated despite being incredibly poor. It feels like slow torture - cruel and unusual punishment. Sometimes I think that if the club really does want relegation, they should just get on with it and do it properly and spare us.

Dortmund Chief Exec calls English fans "clients".

The School of Science gets BFS as manager. And we swallowed it like good little customers that we are.

And we are supposed to be happy?

I am off the booze for March and the month is already endless.

Pfft, try years of Walter Smith with Steve Watson up front, I won’t be making my underwear moist over being three points of Europe with a quarter of the season left.

Million miles away from the catastrophie everyone is being a drama queen about.

 

[Neiler]

If that's all it takes, then bollocks to it. Rather have some dignity.

Very little dignity in a good winge mate, not you personally, but generally speaking.

They're entitled to boo if they want. Most will be season ticket holders with lots of away credits who have witnessed absolutely no effort from these players all season. If all these fans stayed at home I doubt there would be a massive rush to replace them.

Like to throw this out to GOT members, are we not too negative with the posts / threads despite our current conundrum ?

being 9000 miles away I have lost the plot when it comes to the ins and outs of my beloved team were going to the match and the heated pub debates with my mates kept me up to speed also - telling the R/S mates to shut it while grown ups are talking

I joined GOT late last year just before Big Sam was brought in let me state Sam wasnt an option fancied , my call was Tuchel or Simeone , with Silva being a more realistic option

my point is I the latest Threads on GOT for example

Burnley match - over double more of the posts are predicting a loss versus a win , against a team that is in free fall , maybe I am foolhardy or ignorant or just a divvy but I always believe we will win no matter who we play or how bad we were - been wrong plenty of times but goes with the territory .
Big Sam - there is +5 threads related to him almost 80 to 90% wanting him out NOW also not just since the bad run started , many are rightly not happy with him but who else would have taken the job when there was a crescendo it was taking too long , he did give us a good results when he first came in not pretty but I believe it saved us from the drop , it is a short term contract and there should be no illusions there is an extention with a new decent choice for next season - therefore what good are the continous calls for him to be booted now and what are the options if that does happen ?

the above is two examples were majority of posts are what I would regard as negative about our club and seem to me that if you are positive it will come right back at you were you are slagged off as delusional

The internet is a hive of misery, snide and negativity.

Happy people don't post much. They're probably happy because the have lives.

Damn. I need a life.
