In order to shaft the RS we had to lose, therefore you were ultimately chuffed that we got beat. You can't have both sides of that coin.

It didn't worry me if we didn't shaft them, I support Everton first and foremost. You're making a lot of assumptions about my views based off one sentence, and I feel that you'll simply disbelieve me telling you otherwise.

Which is fine :)
 
As it says in the title.

Mods I feel this might have been done before but it's a current hot topic, and according to one poster thousands of Evertons feel this way. I just want to be sure of it myself before commenting further.

No I always want us to win regardless of who is in charge.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face I believe is the term.

What the lad must of meant is thousands of people on Twitter have said it. In amongst all the other pointless tosh they hash tag.

Anyone who loves Everton wants them to win all the time..!!

Thousands of evertonians feel the same.

I'm with Mugs
 

Au contraire.....it was a very easy pill to swallow especially as Tottenham's defeat earlier that day meant we couldn't be caught for fifth place.

There was a euphoric mood in the environs of Goodison as we left the ground that day given what that result meant in the greater scheme of things ;)


Now, from what I recall, the attitude among posters on here at the time was that the further away one lived from Liverpool, the less the support for EFC losing.

Those of us who faced living amidst the gloat fest that Summer 2014 promised to be before Demba Ba day were, if not happy enough to lose, certainly not overly bothered that we did :)

Sounds like a national holiday, I'll start making the rosettes.

I do like an old school view.
 
That City game was unique in that pretty much every Evertonian in Merseyside I knew wanted the City win, but it was notable how out of town Evertonians didn't feel the same way. It spelled out the difference in attitude depending on location.

For me, it was a no brainer - the Liverpool title win simply couldn't have been allowed to happen. The only way I would have wanted an Everton win in that situation is if it would have kept us up, or perhaps if it would have secured a top three finish. Any other scenario, I was crossing my fingers for a loss.
 

I wanted us to lose that game. Still celebrated Barkley's goal, but was delighted we lost.

But that was for a sensible reason - not irrationally hoping to get our own manager sacked.

If he starts winning games and we suddenly turn into the Invincibles, I'll be happily eating humble pie about Martinez. Won't happen obviously, but still.

Any fan, of any club, can take a defeat if the team played well . Like Everton did that day
 
A few posts have mentioned a certain Man City match . Though the feelings about the game were weird , Everton tried their hardest to win it . And deserved , at least , a draw .

I did a 550 mile round trip for that game, and once the Man Utd and Spurs results came in, then all I wanted was for us to try our hardest in the game and if we got beat, then so be it. In the end, we certainly put the effort in, played well, probably deserved a draw but lost. I certainly wasn't unhappy with the outcome as no one could point the finger at us for playing in our flip-flops and it chuffed up the RS' title bid.

I didn't want us to play well though. I'd have happily been tanked 10-0 in that game.

It was a case of looking at the bigger picture. Sure, I support Everton, but living in Merseyside means tolerating those other beauts on a daily basis, and a title win for them was out of the question.

I made no assumptions at all.

You said you were a bit chuffed that we got beat by City, as the other results were in. Therefore you enjoyed us being beaten as it gubbed the RS, same as most of the rest of us felt in that day.

As I said, it's all about the context, and I'd say your stoning of @matty1878 has now back fired somewhat

Is your taxi on a meter lad?
