True. And there will be a guaranteed new blue by this time tomorrow too!

Who what now?

Think McAleny could finally break through this year

Socrates · August 3, 2015

I said it before and I'll say it again.

We will break our record points total this season.

And I'd like to add that we will win a cup as well.

COYB!!

Think this is Kone's year, he's gonna bag a few goals I recon.

I'm optimistic this thread will have more pages than minor things that make you fume thread.

I think i agree with you, the squad is getting younger and there is a lot of potential to develop. Got a sneaky feeling we might win a league cup game as well!

We're going to be boss this season I can't wait. Reading this optimism just got me more excited for Saturday than I already was.

We've had a much better pre-season, no world cup means no major late returns and the team look like they are match fit and ready to go.

BluePeadar · August 3, 2015

We havent conceded any goals yet

Watford have never beaten us a Goodison in 9 attempts

Has Troy Deeney ever scored past us?

Anyone?

Surely between us we can conjure up some optimism, no matter how misplaced.

I spent all last season depressed with Everton, usually we at least con ourselves a bit we're in for a good season.

How about...

We signed Deulofeu. He's alright, isn't he?

Cleverley. Not fashionable, but I reckon he could pleasantly surprise.

Alcaraz and Distin have gone.

We'll benefit from continuity.

No Europa excuse/distraction.

We've not lost a big player.

We've still got time to buy. Martinez in May: “But now our business could happen in a much smoother manner and we will try to do it as quickly as we can with some of our targets. Others we will try to bring in late because of the type of player that we need to bring in".

Any miserable arses in the replies will be thread banned for this one, lets try an keep one thread at least that' allows us Blues who want to at least have a week of feeling like the end isn't near.

COYB

As always your spot on boss man.

Will let the boss man deal with you.

I'm in an optimised state having read @GrandOldTeam 's post.

Plus I'm from the Wirral.

@nsno_83: Moan all you like about the board, transfers and all that *****, but it doesn't really matter. Everton are magic.
@nsno_83: To be fair he also said 'after the first 5 minutes I'd decided I wanted my season ticket again. Changed my mind again after 20 minutes'.
@nsno_83: And the conclusion of this story is, I'm getting him a ticket for West Ham away and we're all getting on the ale with him.

We played Watford in the opening game of the 06/07 season. Olly was their manager and there was a great atmosphere in the ground. I think we won thanks to a dubious Arteta penalty iirc. Would take the same again just to get the first 3 points in the bag.
