Something we have been guilty at failing to do this season

I don't see a reason why we shouldn't be optimistic.
In truth we were truly spoilt in the first half of the season, and after all the media predicted us to do so poorly. We're still that blooding squad, and we're inexperienced too. In the last 4 weeks we've played Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool all away from home, sadly for us, they've all been in great form, whereas we're only getting Deulofeu, Barkley and co back from injury, in doing so, we lost our only goalscoring threat in Lukaku.
The only thing that's worrying is that we openly let Victor and Jelavic go, with no permanent strikers in january, come June, our only recognised striker will be Steven Naismith, which considering until 6 weeks ago, he wasn't even considered a striker at all, is very concerning.
But no one expected us to finish top half, yet alone top 4 this season, so we've got to enjoy the ride, we're strong at home, and our hard away games of Arsenal, City, Spurs, Liverpool, United and Chelsea have all gone, and we've got 5 winnable ones left in Newcastle, Hull, Fulham, Sunderland and Southampton.
As much as i don't want to sound like a pessimistic banging on the drum bore, who lurks around on this board, we've got a bright young manager, who knows how to play football, but needs the support from the board, we should have money to spend, so let him work his magic.

Thank god - some common sense at last. On the radio phone in after, you'd think we'd just been trolloped 8-0 and put 10 points adrift at the bottom the way those melts were carrying on!

Okay I've had a few bevvies but I've noticed a little bit of negativity on here recently capped off with the Alan Myers news.
Lads, let's not forget we support the best football club in the world
We're boss, and playing some boss football this season and we'll continue to be boss for many years to come.
Stones and Barkley coming through and a manager who has an actually desire for us to be the best.
Just imagine supporting Newcastle for a good 5 seconds and you'll feel better about life.
Forgot my point really but we need the good vibes back from earlier this season. Sustained success only comes from a long term ambition, something that we have under Martinez.
We ARE going in the right direction.
So enjoy your chang and Fandango on Saturday and enjoy us smashing west ham all over our special stadium.
... And we love you, Everton!

Good point above, imagine supporting Newcastle! They were the fashionable side when I was a kid and it would've been easy for me to choose them if I was a 'glory hunter' but as we all know Evertonians don't choose...
36 points still to play for and the cup!
its on.
its on.

You want positivity?
we played 3 teams out of the 5 above us recently, only got outplayed by one of them. Could well have won the other two in different circumstances regarding better players but thats a If/But scenario.
Point is, if we can go to spurs and Chelsea and match them then why cant we go to every other club below us and beat them? On paper we can win every one of our remaining games.
So lets start against West ham

I know its ifs and buts, but a few games could really change everything. If Southampton can prevent a Liverpool win and we take care of West Ham and the Palace game in hand, we would be 5 or 6 points behind them, anything could happen then. We just need to keep winning and if the others win out then fine. We could have had three easy home games insted of Liverpool Tottenham and Chelsea away and we'd all be buzzing about our points. Not over yet at all. If we were only 8 points ahead of the RS at this stage (im badly assuming we win against palace) they would be super confident of hunting us down and we would be predicting the worst. The other way round and we've already given up and handed them fourth.
We play in blue, not red.

Our next three league games are at home, Liverpool's next three league games are away and we have a game in hand! It is on...
This! Plus I was also very happy that Spurs got through their Europa game last night. The Europa distraction could play a big part in then dropping a few points in the league.
We will start a storming run in to the seasons end with a 6-0 win tomorrow, what's more, Kevin Nolan will be sent off, and the entire Family Enclosure will do that stupid birdie dance of his while he walks off to be greeted by Big Dunc in the dug out for the first time as head coach, who will drop the nod on him as he falls down the tunnel. Meanwhile, Big Sam, dressed in nineteenth century attire, will run out of chewing gum and cry like a girl. Can't wait.
If you look at our March fixtures compared to Spus and them lot then it looks like a big opportunity.
Lets hope Rom, Ross, McGeady and Deulo click into form and we take advantage of it!
COYB!!!!
