  1. It was tongue in cheek! I’ll certainly be supporting him when I’m back in my seat in 3 weeks time. He’s not an Evertonian so had no allegiance to this club and was doing what he thought was best for his career. I’m sure like anything there will be some but football fans are fickle and after he scores the winner against Fulham in front of the Gwladys it’ll be a distant memory.
  2. Good luck to the rat! All will be forgiven if he performs on the pitch. Could have saved money and used the photos and video from before.
  3. The stumbling block in regards to Dele playing for the club for a meaningful time this season is the way we’ve structured the deal.
  4. He’s never been clinical and as we don’t created that much he’s certainly not a good fit. …and I really don’t like the away kit. Too busy and looks half finished.
  5. It’s crazy but not unexpected from Everton. Compounding issue is we have in theory an easy ish start to the season and yet we’ll either still not made the purchases or they’re just in through the door and Dyche wouldn’t have had time to bed them in.
  6. The reports are that we have but he’s rejected it so far. I’m not in favour of increasing his wages (already high) as that has a knock on effect with the rest of the squad and future acquisitions with regards wage structure which has been an issue for us in the not so long past. I also don’t think he’s worth it!
  7. Imo we need to make a decision on him and quick. I can’t see anyway he signs a new contract now and therefore we lose him for free next summer. I personally don’t think we can afford to lose players for nothing and therefore we need to get this done. We have so much work in the transfer market this summer and as always we’re doing what we do best - very little and slowly!
  8. I think the stadium is looking awesome and I’m a bit obsessed. Its about the only thing that has kept my sanity Everton wise for the last year. I might be in the minority but I can keep the two things separate and still appreciate even with the shambles of ownership, board and the teams performance.
  9. I think the low(ish) numbers are that most fans believe change is imminent based on the rumours and fact the board have put themselves in an untenable position. Also, some others don’t live close and others are finally getting a Saturday football break they and their families deserve.
  10. He might not do anymore for Leicester though
  11. I’ve been all in on the stadium through the entire process and was so excited about the whole thing. However, of late I can’t even enjoy this. It’s so typically Everton.
  12. It’s quite ridiculous. I’d argue that nobody outside the club can look at what’s happened a think for one moment they’ve done a good job. The statement BK made was laughable (if it wasn’t so serious) and the divide is between the board and the fans imo is irreparable. I could rant on about this all day but I think I’m shouting here to the converted.
  13. I apologise from memory I thought he was just a temporary manager when their manger moved on so I didn’t count it. Looked it up now and see he did a full season before being sacked. Points very much stand though Also who doesn’t get sacked from Watford.
  14. Not as a knee jerk reaction but as I said on here prior to the appointment I just don’t think he’s tactically good enough. These players are poor but hoofing it repeatedly forward to an isolated inexperienced PL striker was school boy stuff. I can start to say how disappointed I was with this. Dyche unfortunately only knows one way and didn’t evolve in the decade he was with Burnley. He’s also a one club manager so isn’t used to much change or needing to adapt as his side was fairly settled throughout. If we stay up I’ll be surprised but over the moon. If we go down Dyche better not be our manager next season.
  15. Today was nothing better than anything Lampard served up.
  16. I was exactly the same until my son was telling me on way home a few Arsenal fans were moaning about it on social media. I couldn’t care less they certainly got their fair share of dodgy decisions. How good was Onana today! He’s going from strength to strength. I hate the game at Anfield but I am looking forward to him getting into their fragile midfield.
  17. I was listening to this and I feel the whole of the media has finally woken up in the last few weeks to how badly we’ve been run. I’m hoping their time is up soon. Surely their positions are untenable now?
  18. I said that to my son at the time and I’m sat in the main stand the opposite side to where this happens. I think that shows how inept the referee and lineman were today.
  19. Protest pre game - tick Watched us beat the league leaders and get our first win since October - tick Listened to Liverpool get battered on way home - tick Today - completed it mate!
  20. Only Everton can hit the lowest of lows and then somehow surpass it days / weeks later. I’ve lost all hope in us staying up. I get the Dyche appointment now. He was cheap and they weren't going to give him players to work with. I didn’t agree with appointment but on scale of things it’s low down in my anger and disappointment. The fact is the hierarchy have no vision or plan. I’ll be there as always Saturday supporting this shambolic team but changes to the top need to be made and fast. The problem with this is I can’t see Moshiri selling anytime soon as the losses he’ll encounter will be gigantic (especially when we go down).
  21. If we get big Sam I think I’d seriously consider relinquishing my season ticket. I promise you that’s not being sensationalist.
  22. Yes for all the years he didn’t finish 7th and 10th! They were his best. Didn’t want to post them as it would look like it was biased to support my view. Come on SteveO!
  23. I really don’t get the Dyche calls at all. I don’t want him appointed. The only way I’d be happy him getting the job is if it was a straight choice between him and big Sam. He relegated Burnley twice (I’m counting last season) and other than (7th and 10th) his average premier league position is 15th (rounded up). He’s no certainty for our survival.
