Do you only like to live in a world where you club are the greatest thing ever to happen mush? That makes you a Liverpool fan by definition then. You daft apeth get behind your boys or stay at home.

That's an expression I haven't heard for a long time...my (long dead) gran used to say it. I note it's a contraction of halfpenny-worth (ha'pe'th).
Brought a smile to me...cheers

I think the poor atmoshere is understandable sadly.We are all just waiting for this pile of rubbish of a season to end.May can't come soon enough really.I just hope after Big Sam get's his golden pay off, that we finally hire the right manager.

Agreed but it is such a shame we dont use goodison and the possible atmosphere it used to produce to the teams benifit. It is dead for years now apart from the very odd match here and there.
There is defo something wrong at moment and it makes it an easier place for away teams to come. None of should want that.

The problem what I see is we are up for it against the bigger teams from the start and if the players are up for it and putting on a good show then it's rocking. If they are not putting up a good show and getting battered then they are slumped back in the seats resigned.

The lesser teams we are already slumped back in our seats waiting for the show to start and we can be moaning at them within 10 minutes if we are not already winning. The referee helps the atmosphere with bad decisions or a good old crunching tackle. I suppose we are guilty of thinking we are still a big club hence the lack of atmosphere against the lesser teams.

Because the way we are at the moment Chuck is a feeling of despondency. We can count shots on target over previous games on one hand. It's not a good place at the moment. Would rather the action got the crowd going than singing one man and his dog all match. That is not atmosphere that is just singing for the sake of it. To me atmosphere is the buzzing of the crowd rather than singing for the sake of it.

Why be concerned if our fanbase isn't? This malaise will see us doing a Villa.

Good atmosphere helps teams perform better mush. Why wouldn’t you want your team to perform better?

Nobody will be as bad as them! Well except us!

 

[MikeH72]

Mush this is being real. I don’t like Liverpool more than most but they put on a good atmosphere that lifts their players. Everton have the better fans and everyone knows this especially on here so why is their atmosphere better?

LOL ok can I just stop you there

I just don't understand why mushingham is staring league one in the face their fans are noisier than thou. Doesn't the noise help the team?

I blame smart phones.

I think the present atmosphere at Goodison merely reflects the dashing of optimistic ambition that many of us felt when a well-heeled major shareholder (not majority though...which in itself is telling) came in.Of course, living in NZ, it's not like I have 'the finger on the pulse' of the mood in L4, but I can guess it's one of abject disappointment.
But in general, I'd say the context of professional sport these days has also effected change in crowd mood and a propensity for caprice/fickleness; sports' mercenary nature, its nose-bleedingly high wages, its rewarding failure with massive exit pay-outs etc etc has caused separation between average income supporters and 'their' team.
It's an interesting subject. I imagine a sociology student working on a dissertation for a Masters or PhD would find it a fertile field for analysis

Then go read the site policy and see that it is a great forum welcoming to all mush. Like I said take some time and learn the ropes on here. I find it cute you want me banned because I started your fans talking about a problem you have while you bury your sweet little head in the sand mush.

I find it annoying that you're created threads criticising my club on an Everton forum and falsely praising my club's rivals.

Birmingham's great atmosphere have done them wonders. All ten of them fans must have a great set of pipes.

And then the chant of ZULU went up and every fighting man who were not that went into a frightened hush.

Glorying hooliganism there, are you, mush? Tosspot.
