Norwich City v Everton. 12th Dec at 1245.

How does the new TV deal help us to get any closer to the top teams?

Surely it gives the teams who appear most often on TV an even bigger advantage.

Or do you think that everybody will now finish in the top 10?

The thing is that the new tv deal will move the top teams further away from the lower teams in cash terms.

The difference between finishing 1st and 10th next season is 60% greater than this season.

Maybe you and your kipper wannabe forum mafia could actually debate rather than spend your hours slagging off fellow blues in trying to compensate for your middle aged failures in life.

I've pointed out every other fanbase has seen the new TV deal and expect big things of their team, whereas our fanbase has a group who hypocritically are happy for a 10th placed finish so long as half of every match we play nice football, something that moyes would have been criticised for.

Maybe you could stop creating accounts and getting banned mate.

I'm seeing a pattern. Not your fault though, it's everyone else's.

after the rest of the results this weekend it just rubs it in even more that we have missed a massive opportunity to move up the table.

We should easily be in the top 4 right now. I think that is why everyone is so frustrated with the team and manager. If we can't grind out results and fix our set piece situation, we shouldn't expect to win because our front (while devastating) isn't clinical enough. You can attribute that to luck or whatever you like, but it doesn't change the fact that we were lucky not to lose some of these games considering the amount of easy chances we give away. We score spectacular goals and get lots of opportunities, but we allow more easy chances than we create.

Should we? Why?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Should we? Why?

Dropping way too many points from winning positions (most of the games we asserted our dominance). We survived the most brutal part of the schedule, yet we didn't take advantage of the weaker sides. We are still miraculously less than 10 points from top 4 which speaks to how well the league has performed as a whole (and how poor the top teams have played). This would have probably been our best chance to steal a CL spot and we aren't taking advantage of it.

I just remembered the highlight of the game : some guy in front of me got hit in the head by a flying pie.

Twice.

If i'd have known it was one of her pies i'd have picked it up and ate eat.

She might be a drunken old bag but she makes damn good food.

Play boss football, look like bull dozing teams, score a beautiful goal. Then let a daft corner in. Story of Everton this season.

Most teams could easily be in the top 4 right now - but for the points they have dropped.

It might even happen to Leicester next. Who can say?

Just a reminder how bloody frustrating that match was

 

[TheBigIguana]

There are 22 matches left. Almost every team trying for 4th had a disappointing result this weekend. None of those teams are consistent. We need an improvement in our results but top 4 is not totally out if we can find a run of form

 

[Huyton Layne]

AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE US, WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO GET MEDIOCRE RESULTS IN THE LEAGUE

hmm doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

Havent a scooby what your talking about mate, all im seeing Is every other side in the leagues fanbase push up their expectations (see the mighty Norwich being booed off for losing to everton at half time) whilst our own fanbase who would at one time be up in arms if moyes never got atleast 7th suddenly be happy with being below tinpot outfits like Watford and West ham so long as we "play nice togger" which ironically at best is a good 45 minutes followed by 45 minutes of surrender monkey dross.

Sorry but the mighty Norwich weren't booed off because they were losing to Everton. They were booed off because they were second best all over the pitch and didn't look up for it at all.
