I hear you eat on that.

Is Southampton the best of the rest now? I refuse to believe that they took that tittle from us. Where have you gone Everton?

I think so mate ...they seem to have players/potential stars coming from everywhere.

Koeman's made a difference and will he stick around...but it's a one city club within a substantial conurbation...potential...
 
Don't be fooled by the Southamptons and West Hams of this world. They're both having decent to good seasons, because everything has clicked for them, like a dream. Especially Southampton. A few major parts of Southampton's success:

- Low expectations.
- Unknown quantity.
- Very good manager (who will now be on the radar of many richer clubs in Europe), especially as he was well known as a player.
- No European football.

We can possibly relate to most of that. Next season will be much harder for them, for multiple reasons.

Lets not forget too that in the past 10 years, we've finished in the top 7 in 8 of those years. That is CONSISTENCY.

*WE* are still the model that a lot of these non-mega rich teams aspire to.

Don't be fooled or downhearted by a bad few months for us.
 

It's a feeling which cannot really be described in words. As an individual you've not directly competed, but it feels like you were a key part of it.

Wonder, amazement and exultation. They're probably the closest descriptions for once you've won a trophy, but accumulated it's terrific.

The 80s were especially an amazing time to be an Evertonian, although arguably we could have (or should have) won more.

95 was a strange one. It wasn't too long since we had won the league (although it felt enough), however we'd watched some dire stuff since.

It was a mixture of relief and a positive expectation that we could push on from there and succeed. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be.

We've eclipsed, well more obliterated, the wait we had between 69/70 and the 84 FA Cup, so any future success will eclipse all of the above.
 
I honestly don't think I'll ever see Everton win anything. I just can't imagine what it would even feel like to win a trophy. Every single knock out of a cup is like another nail in the coffin, we just never seem to be good enough.
