Snide

[heartscry2286]

One of the more noticeable attributes that Sam has brought to the Team is Snide.
For a long time we were polite and civil in matches, utter gentlemen on the pitch and well liked for it. We've not really argued with Refs, been about teams with niggling fouls, targeted players for rough times or time wasted to any great extent.

With Sam, the School of Snide is open.

Rooney and Williams are at the ref at every opportunity, Gamesmanship in seeing out games happens every match, the opposition Box has now become festooned with invisible trip hazards.

In just a fortnight we've suddenly become a lot more cut-throat about games.

Is it a good thing? something that we've been missing?
Is it ungentlemanly and against the spirit in which we should be playing the game?

What's your favourite/funniest bit of snide you've seen?

How much is the other Sam behind this?

Was part of a successful side who were full of it and knows all the tricks.

Best bit was Rooney taking so long to get off the pitch tonight. Walked at a snails pace, then remembered to pass on the armband, then had to pull up his socks, then managed to hobble off eventually.

I thing that Big Dunc may be 'not an Angel' when it comes to this sort of thing also.

Been here a long time and no sign of it though. Just putting 2+2 together with the 2 Sams coming in.

I’m all for the snide, myself.

If everyone’s at it we may as well do it properly.

Someone needs to step up & take Cahill's role!

The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that snide, for lack of a better word, is good.
Snide is right, snide works. Snide clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Snide, in all its forms; snide for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.

Win. It's better to be successful and disliked.

Winning is the most important thing. When we start lifting trophies again I'll start getting a bit more fussy about how we play. Till then... Win football matches.

best bit was calvert lewin kicking the ball away in the 93rd minute and getting a yellow card

if i was going to get a yellow for doing that though i would have picked the ball up and wellied it away

 

[BlueLee]

Love the way we peed off Klop and Benitez in the same week! Snide could be the way forward!

 

[CrustySack]

Kendalls mid-80s team was pure snide. Maybe its the true Everton way.

Haha! That was so blatant it was funny!

JJ on the touchline "Where's that ball gone?" "Has anybody seen the ball?"
Newcastle player lashed it at him "Arr ey lad, there's no need for that like"

I like the way Pickford plays basket ball in the corner of his 6 yard to waste time and picks it up when approached.
