Quiet Goodison

[windymiller]

Is anyone else concerned at the lack of atmosphere recently at Goodison? I was at the Bolton, West Ham and Portsmouth games and it was desperately quiet. A Portsmouth fan called in to 606 and (rightly) criticised us for not singing until we scored on Sunday. I remember the electricity from Goodison Park and some of it seems to have dissipated.

These people dont think so.

Depends on the game really mate. .

Big games, the atmosphere is good. Everyone's up for it. Shitty games against poor teams usually need the team to lift the crowd.

I suppose

lack of away fans to goad from Bolton
not doing too well against w.ham
nothing game against the bell ringing inbreds from near southampton and bournemouth


I think that covers the games in question

I heard the bellend on 606.

Desperately quiet? Behave just because we're not blerts. Them lot singing about 5 times YNWA - frankly summed them up.

Quietest game this season was SUNDERLAND.


NOSIEST either Man U or Man City

It all depends who we're up against and what the stakes are.

Not some bellend on 606 who's going down only singing rubbish songs because it's more interesting than their football.

In fairness, I'd be pissing myself at one of them massive tools trying to comment on anyone's support. They were in fancy dress weren't they?

The forces of Karma have been working this season and no mistake, Portsmouth & Hull go down.

Back to Goodison, we only sing when were winning, which is sound.

Mate , there was nothing on those games . You know what we're like .

However , my mate lives facing the Winslow . Lived there about 4 years .

Said , when Billy scored on Sunday , the roar was the loudest he'd heard .

Just thought I'd mention .

I'd say equal perhaps to the Gosling/Rodwell goals v Man U?

Or perhaps the Fellaini step over v Man City, when the whole ground gave a collective gasp.....

I was at the city and spurs games as well, and city was a very noisy night but that was all on the Lescott saga. The game against spurs was also dissapointing, by the end of the night it was rocking but do we really need a two-goal comeback and a missed last-ditch penalty to get us going? I know there's a lot of tools in the pompey and stoke support but you've got to hand it to them they never shut up and that's got to help on the pitch.

I was in the main stand on Sunday and you could hear a pin drop sometimes, it doesn't help that it was 0-0 for 93 minutes and the team couldn't really get much together.

I understand your point as I was at the West Ham and Portsmouth games.

Everton fans are quite unpredictable as to how much noise we make. However, at the matches against Man U, Chelsea, and City, the atmosphere was electric and even the commentators / pundits commented on it.

Very similar to what its like at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford when they play mid table or bottom end of the table clubs....It's quiet.

Its almost like we save it for the big occasions, and won't entertain the likes of Portsmouth who bring 500 fans just to make out that they don't care they have been relegated, much the same as West Ham who pretty much thought they were going down as well, but scraped it.

The Stoke fans are applauded for being great but then again, they are just happy to be here, and admit that.

Away matches in Europe were brilliant. I remember singing "never felt more like singing the blues...." for 45 minutes straight against SK Brann. Similar in Athens.

If we were in the Champions League group stages I would guarantee you that Goodison would be rammed to the rafters regardless of kick off time, and when that johnny todd comes on, merseyside would register 9.5 on the richter scale.

You can't doubt the fans make noise. I think we just decide when to do it.

It was very quiet against Portsmouth and I spent most of the match talking to the other lads around me about players and other stuff. Best atmospheres I can remember recently were Chelsea and Man Utd, last season the euro games were decent and the Carling Cup game against Chelsea, best was the Liverpool cup game........
