United v Chelsea

[Chang Elephant]

Leaving aside your Giggs point, that table should be trundled out whenever the nu-fan (and - shamefully - some of our own fans) start to question Everton's status as one of the biggest clubs in England.

If you were new to football, looked at the way our board behaves, the contnuous pr gaffes, and some of the fans posts (leasing our training facility as an achievement), you'd have us down as something similar to Wolves.

Are we talking wolves the animal or Wolverhampton Wanderers here? Just so I can construct a proper reply.

In my mind we're right up there with Arsenal. We'd have been bigger than than UTD if we had had the success the ****e had in the 70's and 80's.

But currently we're run like an end terrace grocer's shop, creating a problem of perception. We need to open the doors of perception.

Six paragraphs down sums it up

Everton (nine) have enjoyed success throughout their history,


i.e United had only won 7 post 1993 - the RS won the lions share of theirs 60's/70's and 80's and when Arsenal won their first we had been going for over half a century......

We are a footballing constant, our triumphs have spanned Footballs history - not a fashionable purple patch team like Chelsea.
Or a put three stars on our badge cause we have an inferiorty complex from our successful neighbours club.

WE ARE EVERTON !!!

Wolves the animal, with Bill as a hermaphrodite Hyena.

Bloody cheek.

there are a great many clubs that would love to have Wolves history, once upon a time they were a bit of a name, in fact I'll bet they had more success than citeh have had, they've won the 3rd tier more than them for starters.

I don't believe that even the most ignorant of football supporters think that a club like Everton, with a 40,000 person stadium, who have been in the top flight for fecking ever, been in two fa cup finals in the last two decades and generally have finished somewhere between 4th and 8th over the last ten years are in the same bracket as a club like Wolves who have been a second flight team for donkeys.

Hyperbole, man.

We don't get very much respect though.

I was reading a piece on some sporting website about players moving this summer, and on the topic of Rodallega the writer said he should "move to a mid-table club like Everton or Sunderland".

I spat my drink out. Mid table to me is 8th-12th. Not 4th-7th, which is where we've finished for all but 3 of the last 9 or so seasons. And in that time Sunderland have been yoyo-ing between leagues.

Read something years ago about how the European Cup started partly from a French Journo's response to Claims that Wolves were the best team in the world in the English press. In the early to mid fifties they were the bolux on the domestic front and won some high profile (for the times) friendlies against foreign teams like the mighty Moscow Dynamo.
