Joey......in the old days there would not have been 20,000 there last night.

And those that were there would have be chucking cushions down from the Top Balcony.

Believe me mate, my desire to see the back of Allardyce is greater than my ongoing disillusionment with the carpet bagger.

Good to hear that mate.

Despite the football not getting any better, and the managers public comments becoming more and more vindictive, I was looking for a reason why your posts have been a lot less anti Koeman than they were a month or two ago. This was the only thing I could think of.

Now working in the media, Osman has taken apart Allardyce’s laughable claims.

Leon Osman speaking on BBC Radio 5 live:

“This may be a victory…but it is hardly an exciting one.

“Sam Allardyce sends his teams out to win.

“He is not always fussed about performances.

“He will be delighted with a win and a clean sheet.

“People expect a standard of performance.

“The three points will be important but the crowd come to be excited.

“There was hardly a chance in this game and not enough excitement.

“That is the story of the season for Everton.”

As Leon Osman states, nobody can argue that Sam Allardyce didn’t get the victory but apart from that, his claims of giving the Everton fans anything else are a joke.

I think that summary is about right.
I don't think Sam will ask for a contract extension now because he simply would not get it, I think he wants the extra season to be able to properly put his own stamp on the team. I am not sure that Sam wants to stay in management long term but feels he has a point to prove.
I do think there is a chance that Brands will come in and use next season(with Sam as manager) to get to know the club before a new long term manager is then brought in to work with Brands.

It would upset some on here so much it would nearly be worth it just to watch the reaction.

For me, SA is looking for a bigger pay off for early next season. That's his thinking here. Get a 12 month extension if he can and string this one out because it is so lucrative. He knows he's served Moshiri up with a dilemma due to the league table placing we have.

I agree Brands + Allardyce isnt the problem many believe. Brands will need to settle in here and assess.

I've said it a fair few times mate, we're an easy bunch of fans to please, we win, everything is rosey in the garden again, and Allardyce isn't as bad as some make him out to be, etc...............

Fans need to reflect would the other lot over the park accept the amount spent , and the league position......the turgid football- I very much doubt it we were like that once sacked Colin Harvey for coming 6 th!

At least it seems the American media are not being taken in by the nonsense Sam’s mates in the British media are peddling.

We are on thin ice here.

As I see it, Allardyce is deffo going to start next season here.

And as there is no stability in having a manager run down the final year of a contract, I strongly suspect an extension of another year or eighteen months to be announced at season’s end.

Sad times.

Alot of speculative thinking here.
We have no idea either way so 'sad times' based on the future is a little prenature.

I'll never get tired of banging that drum!

My apathy has now gone mate. Just been listening to talk sport with Jim the weapon White. "Know your place little Everton" and "Careful what you wish for Everton" is the flavour of the day...while the RS love in continues. It's even been suggested, we're only angry cos dem mighty lidderpool are doing so well.

Koff to the lot of them.

Just been listening to his show. I nearly crashed the car, the amount of fans supporting the dinosaur. If he is that good of a manager why don't Arsenal go after him? Simple answer not good enough

When we draw or lose the next game the pressure will come back on him. And unlike the home crowd our away fans aren't shy of telling him to do one

Well, it is a football forum and we all spend most of our time speculating about one thing or another

And the “sad times” comment is based very much in the present where the pessimistic mood among Evertonians is at the lowest ebb it has been at in ages.

Apparently, apart from a few long balls going astray, we played stylishly last night.

What must Dudley be like if it produced a creature like that?!

Had to turn it off mate. I was koffng away and getting funny looks off other drivers.
That pair of helmets, Gray and Mills joining in as well. Everyone thinks we're so small time, and we do nothing to disprove it.
