What's with the crazy talk?!

Makes no sense to me that Mirallas isn't involved in this thing. WTF? One of the most talented lads on the team, and he sits. On the other hand he has been shite, so its understandable. but that doesn't make sense either. What is up with this guy?

Swansea 1 - Everton 1 Barkley

Has Howard eluded to leaving yet, or is this wishful thinking?

so what's the next avatar gonna be?

I think it was pretty reasonable to think that we had a chance of being relegated....nothing to be ashamed of IMO. Glad things panned out differently though.

Howard played well for sure. Defense is getting better, although it scares me at times still. Jags played well (and the goal of course!). I'm liking Lennon more and more - he hustles. I still think this team has some serious work to do to get at the level of the top 5, and three consecutive wins doesn't make me a believer in Martinez either. Yet. What worries me is a repeat of this year in next season with Martinez employing the same tactics and patterns. We shall see. The season ain't over yet so there are more pieces to the puzzle. Weird-ass season that is for sure. COYB!!!!!

In terms of Lennon, he's no Messi or Ibrahimovich, but I certainly like him wearing the Everton kit and surely hope he stays with us for the duration. He is a unique player, and I think we don't really have another player who can contribute in his particular style. Scoop that motherf*ucker up!

The guy is ultra-talented for sure, but when you compare him to cats like Hazard and Kane, he isn't nearly as hungry as those guys. Watch Hazard only sometimes - he is hustling is ARSE OFF at 91:00+. The difference is that those guys put 100% heart and soul into their clubs and Mirallas seems to put anywhere between 60 - 100% depending on his mood.

Everton 0-3 Southampton Jackshite

Howard and Barry the magnificent duo? I smell another 3-nil blowout.

What positive aspects is our club being built on currently? I'd like to know about this "great" direction we are headed in. I'm having difficulty with this task.

Maybe the FA will allow Everton to bite our opponents next year (a la Suarez) which could slow them down, That would be really, really great! Think about it. (They should avoid using the white third kit though since blood stains are difficult to get out sometimes. Just thinking out loud....) (We're gonna need a really good team dentist though - do we have enough money to pay for one?. If not, we could always hire a cheap University student to save some money. Just thinking out loud again here.....)

Maybe Everton will lose every remaining match, which would be so nice for the other team's fans! That would make them feel so good and proud! I can't wait for that! It's gonna be so great to see all of the happy smiles on the opposing fans faces! It's gonna be so nice! Can't wait!

Maybe Everton will pass sideways and backwards even more next season which would be really, really cool! I can't wait for that!

Maybe the FA will allow Everton to use tasers against the other team next year, so we'll be really, really, really good! Think about it. I can't wait for that!

Maybe MC11 and Brett Angel are gonna play midfield next year, so we'll be really really mediocre or just a bit better! Think about it.

Maybe Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Suarez, Costa, Aguero, Harry Kane, Charlie Auston, Arjen Robben, Ibrahimovic, Hazard, Courtois, and De Gea will all join Everton next year and we'll be really, really good! Think about it.....it's probably gonna happen.

Maybe if Howard keeps growing his beard, it will get large enough that some balls might hit it and miss the back of the net! Think about it.

Maybe the FA will allow Everton to use 20 players on the pitch next year including 3 goalkeepers, so we'll be really, really, really good! Think about it.

Maybe Everton could use a really, really small net behind Howard next year (like a Hockey goal) and we'll be really, really good!!

If Martinez doesn't get sacked, we'll all be blessed to watch Barry play every game next season! That would be incredible!

If Everton gets relegated to the championship next year, they might finish 15th or 16th, which is WAY better than 17th or lower!

Everton is still better than my 8-year old 's team, and there is a chance they could get a draw, or even a win if they played against them (if Barry and Alacaraz didn't play of course).

Yes he is! Great under Boulez too.
