Trigger

His 250th club appearance as well...hard to believe.

I felt like a proud dad when he scored. The stick he took when he broke his cheekbone took the piss and I hope it's fuelled his fire to ram it down their throats.

I don’t think any are to be honest. As fans we all want the best for our club.
I clapped Lukaku for the goals he scored, nothing to do with him wanting out and making demands. For that he received my criticism.
I have paid to watch us while we are at the top, and I’m paying to watch us while we’re at the bottom. Because I am a massive Everton fan. 
 
I don’t support Bill, as I didn’t support any other chairman before. It’s always been the club for me. If we get relegated…. I’ll be supporting a championship team. If we get relegated again…. I’ll be supporting a league one team. 
 
I’ll continue supporting the club I love till the day I die I guess. 
 
Starting with the resurgence this afternoon….. COYBs!!!!! Let the climb begin!!!

Well we managed just about an hour of positivity to dwell on! 😀

You're probably right Matt overall.
That Arsenal match had me really deflated though. We looked exactly like we did under  Fat Sam. It is one match in isolation though and not fair on Dyche overall.

🍆 really 😂 From my perspective this is starting to become very depressing we all need to lighten up including myself and show some positivity even if delusional, otherwise we will all be signing off just to save what’s left of our sanity😇

I'm not trying to be a dick about it but the heads down already when there's factual proof of improvement is just so frustrating to watch, I feel compelled to remind people. If we'd had 1 point after 5 and seen no effort, few shots on target etc. I'd get it. But we've been robbed by officials and denied by monster keeper performances, otherwise we'd be sitting on 7 points comfortably and who knows, that might've bred confidence enough to go at Arsenal and Sheff United more.

Damn you Trigger for making me admit that!!!!

Very interesting and something to aspire to.

This sounds how football should be run. 
Whenever you go over there, you find that tickets are cheaper, as football isn’t made for the rich…. It’s for fans.

As I've said previously in this thread back on August 14th...
The 777 model is to drive additional revenue through the fan base. 777 also own insurance companies, credit companies etc. They're looking for fans to buy Everton branded insurance etc.
Our revenue through sponsorships etc. ranks very well (8th best I think) given where we've finished in league in recent seasons. We're regarded as performing well here.
I fully expect season tickets, items purchased at the ground and for these Everton branded products to be pushed at us through membership and websites etc.
Success needs money to invest. Money to invest for football clubs either comes from sugar daddy owners or the fans. The global size of fanbase ultimately drives sponsorship revenues . Global fanbase  primarily grows based on success.
So it's sugar daddy or fans. I'd suggest Man City, Newcastle, Chelsea are your sugar daddy model and Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Tottenham are your fan funded model.
Which is it you want?

Name me one successful Premiership club ( that has won something or consistently qualifies for Europe that is run as a sound business "focusing on improving squad value and lowering squad costs".
Yes we need to be a better run club, but it is still good and large investment in players that wins stuff. This is not an ownership model where we will start to win stuff again for me.

Just read a piece saying that he's actually worked miracles financially for us in this window. 
Allegedly, the only fee that has been spent is the £3m loan fee for Danjuma. Beto and Chermiti fees have both (allegedly) been kicked down the road until the start of the next fiscal year.
If true, he's done a great job.

From what Dyche said in his latest interview Thelwell is very constrained in the deal that he can make, and pulled a bit of a Rabbit out of the hat tailoring a deal that got a £25M signing of Beto over the line.
It is extreamely difficult to judge  DoF at this club. It sounded like both Walsh and Brands where pretty much dictated to by the owner or indeed the owners real  puppet master - Usmananov. Transfer business was shocking under their stewardship, but blame goes far beyond the pair of them.  
Thelwell seems to be making a better fist of it, given what appears to be significant financial restrictions dealing with the aftermath of FFP and lose of significant sponser (although the sponser and owner interferance appeared to be hand in hand).
Our biggest outlays - McNeil (22), Onana (20), Garner (21) Beto (25) and Chermiti (19) (ages when purchased) look to be decent transfers. The only real duck expenditure wise so far is Maupay, although we are still early days on a couple of these, I feel we are now consistently shopping the the right window now. Thelwell just need a bit more cash so the quantity of these types of signings can be increase and spread accross the pitch - i.e your Gnonto's etc. He is definately having to deal with one hand behind his back at the moment. 
 

We have dickhead fans, like every club, but the way some of them think it’s ok to act is beyond me. 
The only saving grace is that this is a handful out of hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately the stupid things they do gets them attention. 
 
We could do with the all together now campaign jumping on this too, as a strong collective, to condemn it. 
 
Somewhere there is a huge banner with Moise Kean’s face on with “no to racism” on it. I’d like to see that at Goodison at the weekend. The face on the banner doesn’t matter, but the message does.

That horrible twat, Hinchcliffe, and his horrible co-commentator, Bill Leslie, should apologise on air.
Pair of pricks.

I can’t stand hinchcliffe. Absolute bell end. 
 
they reckon he’s sour to us cos Kendall sacked him off

Neither did I think you would look forward to signing Che Adam’s, nor did I think anyone else would for that matter😩

I keep on saying it. He can't play because no matter when he has the odd good game, he CONSISTENTLY gives goals away through either incompetence or simply not being switched on.
