Self entitlement

everton2004 · July 6, 2017

Couldn't care less what other fans think of us. We need a bit of snide in our team - too long we've been the nice guy "after you sir" of the Prem. Bring on Koeman's Snides

Is there any evidence that the fanbase as a whole 'are starting to act like we are entitled to success' though? You may get a section of the support who are getting over confident just like there is a section of our support who are overly negative.

We have achieved nothing yet and most reasonable Evertonians appreciate that. But there is nothing wrong with getting excited that we are showing signs of ambition for a change or for thinking that we should be noticed as a club. We're one of the main clubs in this country and have every right to feel optimistic in my opinion.

Im not a big fan of Bill Kenwright, but as long as he is here, I dont think we will lose our identity. You only have to look what EITC are doing and a legacy will be left in the area when we leave the Old Lady. Of course we will attract new fans if we become succesful, goes with the territory, but I think our morals as a club are set in stone.

Well said. Sick of us being patted on the head by the likes of Spurs with their 2 league titles, who despite having improved in recent years have still achieved the same as us in that time - nothing. No trophies, no league titles. Same with the RS.

Think Moshiri has bought into the Eitc/charitable side as well in his own understated way.

Too late. We are long gone past the Geordie tipping point on here.

I don't have ANY sense of Entitlement. I'm not even sure we'll be any better next season but you got to hope that we will. After 46 years going to the game I just hope we have our overdue run at the top.

So what you are saying is it's our year?

As long as we don't pass the Leicester event horizon I think it will be OK.

Looking forward to buying plane tickets to a cup final from Australia next year. Planning a trip in Europe next May deliberately (Iceland/Norway) in case of FA cup/Europa League finals plus a visit to Goodison or two. Stuff the rest, we've dealt with this smiggen stuff for years. Lets do it blues, lets get it done.

It's nice to see a Chairman stay true to his word and bring in someone else better equipped get the ball rolling in our favor again.

Love or loathe him Kenwright has pulled a blinder in getting Moshiri on board.

*tedious goad mode off* I reckon there's too much thought put into these things. How we look, how we act, how we are seen. That's for the kopites and other plastic teds.

I've always enjoyed being a blue because it's self regulating collective behaviour. Act a beaut and get called on it. We're a very parochial working class club fron Walton. So just be you. If you're a little too excited someone will pipe you down. If you're too heavy on the negativity then you'll get told to lighten up.

Watch the game, enjoy a beer with your mates. Get a buzz every time you hear zcars. It's not orchestrated, it's just Everton.

Hopefully our time is coming soon to celebrate again. Enjoy if so.

Well put, I agree. May I just add one codicil? Any more than ONE pin badge is too much. Cheers
