[Old Blue 2]

I did not read what you said

You replied to it, but did not read it! You're just taking the piss! Rita_Poon was right.

Another lower league club that have won a trophy more recently than Everton

Having 'Who's the Bigger Club' competitions amongst ourselves in 2026.

When the sport is owned by state investment funds and venture capital firms, and is a glorified social media follower contest.

Seems a bit trite and pointless to me.

I wasn’t though, at no point did I claim Spurs are the bigger club - I said we’re on equal footing with Everton - which seemed to trigger some.

That's because you touched a nerve mate. In a lot of people's minds we shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Spurs, when the reality is the two clubs are very similar.

Evening, Toffees Spursies.

I love the way "major trophies" is used as a fig leaf to hide the naked truth that the only two trophies that really matter are the League Championship and European Cup. Sure, the FA Cup and the minor Euro pots were prestigious once upon a time, but being a good cup side was never a substitute for being the best side...something that was proven in the League Championship and then, having won it, in the European Cup.

The Kenwright Decline is the reason why fans of other clubs can legitimately imagine their two-time title winners are of the same stature as nine-time champions Everton. We've been in hibernation for 35 years. Let's see if there is actually any ambition at the club this summer...

Spurs are a big enough club but apart from a couple of flashes in the pan have never been a top club. Simple as that.

As for Everton: if Moyes gets us between 10th and 14th and TFG reward him with a contract extension we have our answer on what their strategy is for this club.

Agree to both.

Spurs are objectively a big club. Their attendances over the years prove that. They have always been a cup side. And they have always been flakey in the league. All fur coat, no knickers.

But they were never a barometer club in the way Liverpool regulary were, United regularly were, Arsenal regularly were...or we regularly were until the 1990s. We have been a banter club since. But in the mid-80s, in the 60s, and in the 30s, we were a barometer of success. Spurs touched that for a season or two in the early 60s. Everything else was Ossie's Dream stuff.

Tell you what mate.
Based on that rhetoric...Aberdeen (2) are the biggest, and will be for a while, in Scotland.
We(everton) would have won the super cup after Heysel and better football minds reckoned the European Cup would've been in our cabinet ,at least once.
Be nice to go back and firstly see nobody murdered going to game and see how we'd have fared.

1976....good season?

We went down, rebuilt in a single season under Burkinshaw, got promoted and then won 2 FA cups and the UEFA cup in the next 5 years.
