Posted via Mobile Device Fully agree with Mick there.
Ste, don't take it to heart but the constant doom mongering becomes tiring, it's all everyone goes on about.
Same here, I go online and really hope we've signed someone, and it's frustrating when we haven't but it happens like this every year.
It might be that Moyes is pedantic, it's probably that he's very particular about the type of player he's after to move us forward.
What is embarrassing is the amount of apparantly sane, rational fans who behave like bad blerts, believing half arsed hyperbole that the media have put together. And the club bashing, sound they don't help themselves sometimes but half the paranoid stuff posted becomes boring. For true examples of mismanagement, look at Newcastle or Leeds.
I'm not happy to finish fifth for the next ten years, I want desperately to see Everton win a cup sometime soon but it's a gradual process, one which is coming together slowly. Still fresh in my memory is being pissed off driving back up the M6 every weekend in the 90s when we were utter sh*te.
Things are much different now, enjoy then - hopefully they'll get better.
This place was set up, through lots of hard work and cost from D/D, to provide a forum to have a decent chat about Everton (and savory snacks) and it's hard to watch it move towards becoming like a massive Groundhog Day every summer when we haven't signed Riquelme by August.
But it ruins it for loads when this happens.
We've just had our best season for a long while, I'm sure Moyes wants to progress as much as anyone, Lescott going would be blow but we've survived worse and prospered so as the thread asks for.
Perspective.
