Bah humbug - to turn off the snow, visit your preferences and select a style that isn't Christmas.

Does not help whom?
I would suggest it is therapeutic for many to come on here after yet another bad result and vent with like minded souls.
I agree with you that negativity is very off putting.....but so is feigned positivity in the face of the glaringly obvious.
This season, up to now, has been insipid at best and downright awful at worst.
There is no way that can be dressed up.
And if plenty of our friends on here feel like expressing that POV then they are entitled so to do.
None of us are entitled to come on here and tell people they should be less negative or less positive in what they post.

A couple of years ago, I though we were moving to a Tesco car park in Kirby. We also had pre-seasons when we would sell Arteta on deadline day only to bring in Staq and Drenthe on loan.
Compared to then, things feel great. Doesn't feel like there is much to worry about regarding Everton at the moment.
Am I too concerned about the new ground? no, I'm hearing all the right noises. Compared to where we have been, its very positive.
Can we compete financially for decent players? yes. Tonight Neville said Everton couldn't finish higher than 7th because we can't compete financially with the team above us. I disagree with this.
Spurs matched out very decent offer for Sissoko, so he moved to the Champions League Club. But the move didn't collapse because we did't have the funds.
Moshiri told Jim White that we matched Chelsea's bid for Koulibaly. If that's true, the bid would have been around the £40 million mark. If that deal would have gone through, it wouldn't have just broken our transfer record, but Tottenham and Liverpool's as well. Maybe Moshiri was fibbing, can't be ruled out. But if Moshiri is being truthful, we can compete financially with some of the teams above us. That's unchartered territory for the post 1995 Premier League.
How do I feel about our newish manager? Happy. We aren't playing great football but when the results arn't going well you go back to basics. If we finish 7th this season, I consider that an improvement on two consecutive 11th placed finishes. I would rather win playing industrial, than lose playing it fancy. I would also hope that by finishing 7th we would have more credibility when trying to attract our top targets in the summer.
But as a team, we have won more points from losing positions than any other team in the league. The team that was destroyed by Sunderland and Leicester in April/ May was shell shocked. So I'm prepared to give Koeman credit for installing some tenacity and spirit. That had gone under Martinez.
At the halfway point we are 7th and we are entering a transfer window were we are supposed to have some decent money to spend.

No one has told anyone to be less negative. i asked the question as to why the negativity is so persuasive on here lately.

The moment - that seems to be the theme. The moment we let in a goal is bad - the moment we are not pressing is bad, the moment a human being makes a mistake is bad. "The moment". When we score or win , we are world beaters.
Replied to the wrong person in the moment
And myself and others have tried to explain why we think it is this way.
But for all my verbosity, @Dixie D summed it up better and quite succinctly with one five letter word
You know why?
We look shocking
The manager doesn't look like he has a clue at the moment
What is his style?
Blame it on the players?
They're not his......my arse
If he was half decent we'd look half decent
I'm afraid we have another highly paid fraud on our hands
Everton aren't we

Human nature mostly.
Negative people shout louder and for longer than positive people.
If we win, the forum is probably quieter.
It's probably due to a mix of entightlement and frustration, but it's mostly frustration brought about by Moshiri giving people hope ... which then leads to some feelings of entightlement from a few people who think we should immediately be doing better than seventh. But it'll take time to become truly competitive.
The moment - that seems to be the theme. The moment we let in a goal is bad - the moment we are not pressing is bad, the moment a human being makes a mistake is bad. "The moment". When we score or win , we are world beaters.
We survive on hope. Is that too deep?
