I'd agree with that. The highlights from the 90's were so few and far between they get played to death, like Cadamarteri's goal, 95 semi and final, and the 2 last day escapes (if they even count as highlights) the weeks and weeks of getting smashed away to Sheffiled Wednesday, Kevin Davies taking it from the half way line and scoring at Goodison and so on and so on get forgotten depsite being much more common. Horrible decade for Everton.

Looking at the table on ceefax celebrating moving above the relegation line on goal difference. Writing off nearly every away game. Getting spanked at Newcastle, Leeds, Spurs, Villa, Boro. Watching the results of Coventry, Derby and Bolton every week. Hoping for a big home win against a fellow relegation contender maybe through a set piece and keeping a clean sheet. Absolutely torrid times. The kopites weren't even bothered, that's how poor we had become, we got their patronising pity.
 

Heitinga. Had a good 6-12 months, but was always a fake hardman. If he'd been playing for the shoite, we'd have been laughing at him all the time. He sh*t out of challenges every game.
And he'd have never done the Ashely Cole shove thing to someone who wasn't a little weasel.

Just looking at the 93/94 table, surprising to see that Spurs finished a solitary point above us that season. Wonder if they ever talk about that season with similar (bad) memories?

People so easily forget the horror of relegation. We were rubbish back then, the football was dire. Getting up for a few derbies does not make up for that. 95 was great but apart from a few months of Kanchelskis and Limpar in tandem it was a decade of rubbish football, constant embarrassment, and some really poor players. What Moyes produced was far better in terms of establishing us as a consistent premier league side who could qualify for Europe with a younger higher value squad. Late 90s early 2000s were terrible times. Even our Derby wins were so small time because our league form was so rank. It was like our World Cup, that's how poor we were.

Still relieved when we pass 40 points, however good our team is or how much I rate the manager. Staying in the league has got even more important as the years have passed, especially when you see what has befallen other teams that were supposedly only going to drop out for a year.

Of course it's currently McGeady, but I was expecting him to be gash when he signed.

Why "of course" it is "currently McGeady"?

Is this a thread about players we dislike or those we think are bad players?

McGeady might not be much good but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly dislikeable about him.

I have never particularly disliked any player we have had on grounds of pure dislikeability as opposed to not liking him simply because he was a bad player.

I never really warmed to Royston Drenthe as I thought him a bit of an all round bell.

Abel Xavier was one I could never warm to and boy, was I right not to like him much.

Of the current squad, the only one I find it difficult to like is Mirallas on account of his regular comments in the press which imply he thinks he is too good girl us.

But Everton have been lucky insofar as we have never had the Bellamy, Savage, Ballotelli, Terry, Gerrard type of hateful bugger about the place.
 
We've had some shocking GK's since Nev haven't we, I used to cry everytime I saw Paul Gerrards name on the team sheet. Ithought Wright was going to be half decent, wrong. I actually liked Myhre just all went pear shaped for him after injury, kept out by Gerrard.

i haven't forgot anything I'm
Too young too enjoy the 80s

The 90s was my time . The lows were low but we enjoyed the good times more

The royle era was boss . Injuries and a minge bag board stopped that .

Staying up and winning the cup in 95 was special

The Wimbledon game never forgotten

Even the Coventry game was boss

95/96 a special team was born

96/97 first half of the year we were even considered title challengers after Derby away mid December on the Monday night.

Then Parkinson and hinchecliffe got injured , Kanchelskis through his dummy out his pram and things fell apart

The 90s had some boss moments and I enjoyed the wins more in that time than any time in the moyes era
