Turning the corner.

[msb]

I'm just going to leave that there.

Good, I am glad you recognised the truth.

That in no way justifies voting in the most rabid right wing government we have ever had.

Sod them....and the Tory horse they rode in on.

They were singing about “Cutting the NHS” at the cup tie.

(I still wish they had beaten the RS though )

Onto football, have we turned the corner? Or is it to optimistic to call it yet?

Well said mate, I thought I was in the house of commons for a minute

We've turned the corner so many times in the last few years,I'm dizzy. Maybe see where we are in another five or six games?

If the "corner" is consolidation of our prem existence then this December, inclusive of Dunc's input, then probably yes.

In terms of genuine progress of the kind we desire then, no.

You cannot out exercise bad diet similarly you cannot transform mediocre players into a winning outfit with tactics and churchillian speeches. We must assault the transfer market now and in the summer like the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho at the Little Bighorn and ruthlessly feed rancid wage snatchers to the dogs.

Remember well what native Americans say : "A man must make his own arrows."

Thank you

For me we won't have turned a corner until we can win 7 or 8 league games in succession and win at places like Tottenham and Chelsea, let alone The Pit, without it causing much fuss.

I hadn't realised until recently that we haven't won 2 successive league games since April! That's how normalised failure has become at Everton.

It isn't mediocrity, it's outright failure.

This is what Ancelotti is up against. We don't win trophies. We don't win away, we don't come from behind to win.

If he turns the club around, it will be the greatest achievement in his managerial career and arguably the greatest feat by any Everton manager.

But if he wins three games on the bounce, there'll be some calling for a knighthood for him.

Good post and good start to to the Carlo era.

Burn key got what they deserved, showed no intent on attacking or winning the game. A narrow 1-0 defeat was fitting for them showing a lack of ambition like that.

Always did like a bit of George Michael

If he stays, he could become a legend here, mentioned in the same breath as Catterick and Kendall. And that will be worth more than any millions he has in the bank.

Nope, nope & nope.
I really hope he brings success but don't fool yourself. Anyone earning millions wants the millions in the bank far more than they care about legend status. He's not an Evertonian. He has no history at the club. He can become a legend to the fans but to him, it's a new challenge and a new job.

I lived near there for some considerable time and I can say that they (Leicester people) are amongst the nicest people I have met outside of Liverpool area. They only really voted Tory because the Bexit issue, but then so did whole swathes of the UK.

Don't let your jealousy of their achievements of the last few years colour your judgement of basically good folks. There is hardly a support base that visits that don't sing that stupid song, or many others. Their team gave us a footballing lesson only earlier this month in the first half, we clawed our way back into the game, but they were fundamentally better than us.

I can never enjoy or even condone the RS giving someone a good hiding, the implication of that is I am happy they did it. I hope those rotten *****inappropriate language here**** RS lose every game, every time, always.

Lowest of the low.

Was great to beat a defensively minded team at home, something we struggled with this season. Beating Newcastle is vital, need to start winning away

 

[Brownie]

The old reactive substitution eh @GrandOldTeam

 

[bitter-no-better]

The fact we had 21 shots against a defensive side says it all. Even if we had drew yesterday there was so much to see in the way we played and where set up.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Great post

We saw to different formations today and neither where 4-2-3-1

we had Walcott stripped and ready to come on. Then we scored and Walcott sat back down.
Best we played in a while in horrendous conditions against a poor side

almost like he subbed a sub... pre-sub.

There are utter knobs everywhere, mate. Even our own fans are not without moments of shame.
