I recommend you go here: https://www.evertonfc.com/
I recommend you live in the real world regarding this club ,because we ain't going to be playing Everton anytime soon sunshine,, no matter how bad or how much you slag them off, they are on another level to us so I suggest you get used to it dingbat 😆

7 points would have been a much fairer reflection of our performances.

There’s a respect for people here that is remarkable, someone’s mom passed and if we know them we offer our respects and if we don’t, there is at least a respectful silence.

That’s a reflection of how we care for our team. Many of us are older than the players, it’s the tradition we honor. And we bring life experience into our belief.

We look at a team. We contribute as fans to the style, the players we hope to bring in, all within the the bounds of our love for our team.

Of course we disagree, most often we do. But sport is about positives, how we fight when we are down and how we promise to shoot up the charts.

Have fun being a negative Nancy, it’s bad for life expectancy, you won’t live long.

My condolences, whiteswan. MOT!

I haven't disrespected anyone , II express an opinion about our club which is constantly challenged despite the facts clearly proving my case, I have followed this club for donkeys years so I am used to fans giving it the we will come good again crap
Reality is it ain't happened in fifty years apart from one title in 92 and it won't happen under these owners they simply ain't got the lolly if fans wanna watch crap and get excited about it that's up to them , many fans want success again instead of false dawn's every season
We are already seeing now ,we are going the same cycle we went through nearly twenty years ago , and unless we get far wealthier owners , winning any silverware whatsoever in the future wili remain a pipedream

Ok, I respect this post. Took me awhile to parse it for grammar…

Good sh$t. But I think it’s only interesting if you post about what went wrong and realistic possibilities to improve…but only if you’re a true fan

Otherwise I’m going to hound every single post of yours to keep you to this

Thanks ref, you played a blinder.

100% captures it. If we were summarizing each match in one sentence, this would be the summary for this one.

It’s very frustrating! And it’s mind boggling to me that officiating is better in MLS than in English Football. But that is my honest observation.

Just a pity most of the football is pedestrian.
I watch MLS and keep hoping for improved level of skill, but find it slow and lateral. Most teams are really awful in the final 1/3. What is it??? Does it have something to do with playing / training too much on artifical turf

Watching the women's world cup semi finals and I reckon all 4 of thise team would be top 10 in MLS.
Just a beef - ignore me :P

Everybody is sick to the back teeth of geronimoan: just block the idiot. He brings nothing positive to this forum. If everybody blocks him, none of us will see his posts: he'll soon get bored and leave...

I went to bed at 8 last night (reet tired and up at 5 this mornin) so missed the action but sounds like Farke is the right man for the job.

I'm just gonna rant this:

The negativity here is shocking! I get it: I get that people are peed off that we aren't getting results but look at what DF has to work with? Then there's the bent ref's! Farke will get it right! Gnonto and Sini: just PHUCK OFF!

It is going to take time to get this right but Farke will get it right. Just need to get rid of all the crap and build from there. There is a lot to be positive about even when it looks like a 5h1t-storm right now. Loving Kenny41's positivity: I'm getting on board with that myself :tup: (took me a long time to like the big galoot but I like positivity)

Re: geronimoan et al: just stick him on your Foes list: you will never see his 5h17e again and he will soon get bored and hopefully leave. People like him feed off of your responses. He is toxic :tup:

Recorded the game and watched it when I got home after night shift, I tried reading the match thread but got bogged down wading through the usual negative bollocks that takes up half those posts.
Thought it was a good performance from a team that is obviously not DFs first choice, would have preferred the win but it is what it is.
Liking the stance on how he picks the team, train hard, work hard and you'll start. Be a petulant man child and you can train on your own. Doesnt it say somewhere Side before self?.
As for his subs bench I'd say that's a not so subtle dig at the board that the cupboard is bare and he needs more players in before he can get things working the way he wants them to.
Only 3 games played, still a long way to go yet and I'd expect by new year our position in the league will be a more accurate indicator of DF and his methods.

Condolences Swannie on your heartbreaking news

Yeah, it is incredible that we spent so much money on him.

I hope the kid succeeds, but so far I'm not seeing how that's gonna happen.

He is just a spectator on the pitch.

Another example of our completely inadequate squad recruitment and lack of effective refreshment since we got promoted.

A fortune blown, and still being paid for and a squad that is still severely lacking.

Two weeks for our bosses to put things right, or we're in for another mediocre season.
