And one of them doesn’t even have a season ticket

What did you think of Walcott Shukester, I never saw it some thought he had one of his better matches, you haven’t mentioned him?

That’s what you call a result, as long as you can get by with the loss of 20% of your income. Good luck for April 2022

12 years is a long time Matt. What’s the job front looking like at the moment, have you found or got something on the horizon.

Looks stunning reminded me of the Dolomites in the summer where my daughter had her wedding, enjoy the break mate. Your 10 days back in Liverpool bar the family had you missed it enough to want to be back there full time ?

now that was funny, I was actually hoping that my comment would be seen as lighthearted fun because I found it humorous when writing it, but I’m not gonna worry that you found it insulting we all have different ideas on what is funny and what isn’t. When you sat down to have a piss did you wipe yourself with toilet roll when finished

Great attitude, the sort of person you would be proud to know.

He’s desperate to get back into the goals again so squaring it never crossed his mind, which is what you should want from a striker, the problem was it was a fairly tame effort which led for the calls that he should have squared it. I’d rather have a striker hungry for goals.

So what does that say about our owner because he brought him here, I’ve just finished reading an excellent article on Moshiri, with the question is he the solution or the problem, and the conclusion is he is very much the problem at the moment. One comment struck a chord with me when he joined us we had been classed as the best of the rest, not any more Leicester and Wolves have over taken us in that department. But back to Allardyce I despise and hate him as much as anyone for the person he is, and I could easily do a Boris Johnson and slag him off as a person and give him zero credit for what he did here, but I’m not looking for votes, no matter how much I despise him as a person I have to accept that he was brought into this club to do a job, to stop the free fall of spiralling defeats and that is what he did, and for all of the hatred we have to accept that that happened we can’t deny it it’s in our history. So my post of he steadied the ship and made us solid in defence, which is what Ancelotti and Arteta have done, but he wasn’t given any credit for that because of who he was hated, brought the hormonal bitches out in there hoards, I would normally call them a bunch of pricks, but obviously most of them sit down to take a piss, and not through choice I thought I would add that because apparently some blokes do sit down to have a piss.

Yippee

Good we need some positives

cheers mate hate missing games win or lose.

Is he looking good mate

Good

Sat in a restaurant in Spain keep posting boy’s I can’t watch it, plus it’s pissing my Mrs off, but like always say to her Everton comes before marriage

He had DCL upfront who in them days when he shot the corner flag stood more chances of being hit than goal, but the attempts don’t show much difference, but again it’s Allardyce against Ancelotti at the moment you would struggle to get a fag paper between them, Allardyce didn’t lose the support because once he steadied the ship we couldn’t see an improvement, Allardyce never ever had the support and that’s difference like I said he was never liked and was never going to be liked even though there isn’t a lot of differences between our performances then and now.

Yes and like I said I standby that he did exactly what Ancelotti has and is doing but got slaughtered for who he was and not solely his football, I’m not interested in your view of him as a person but as a manager, if you think what he did for us was shit then why not what Ancelotti is doing with better players, the reason being his name isn’t Allardyce. You will never convince me that Allardyce was disliked just because of his style of football which is what you’re first answer inferred. I agree with all that, but the team that Fergie handed over to him which he installed the momentum and belief in as now slipped back to what we were seeing with Koeman and Silva, but what grates me is that when you say Allardyce did well doing the same thing as Arteta and Ancelotti are doing it’s frowned upon or there’s a because of something else, his performances were even Ancelotti’s are up and down like a whores knickers not a murmur bar Shukes who over a week ago expressed his concerns, but when it was Allardyce every man and his fucking dog was complaining even if won drew or lost.

He did what he had to do which was to stop us conceding, let’s not forget he wasn’t furnished with the players we have now no Digne no Baines who was a long term injury hardly any Coleman, his full backs were predominantly Kenny and Martina, to achieve what he did with that was good going in my book, but like I say he was hated no matter what the results or performances showed. He wasn’t a Evertonian person I get that 100% but the reality is, even if he had won the league he would have been disliked, because we didn’t like his brand of football but more importantly we didn’t like him in end of. So for Ste to say what he said is rubbish because he was hated from the first game till the last and nothing in between. Yes Fergie rekindled the fighting spirit that your playing for the shirt, which is what I hope every blue wants to see the passion the will to win, unfortunately that’s gone again and we are seeing an Allardyce brand of football not played as well, but Ancelotti won’t get the same stick for it because of who he is, and Ste believes it’s nothing to do with personalities just football styles or progression, yeah right that’s bollocks that is case proven that Allardyce was hated for being Allardyce or Ancelotti would be getting the same treatment, because you’re right lately is the worst I’ve seen us play for decades, we are toothless.

As soon as it was announced that he was coming here the knifes were out, because of his reputation no credit was given to him whether deserved or not, he was a hated figure from beginning to end. Now I’m not trying to defend the man as a person I disliked him as much as most, but as for doing his job he was successful at turning us around. When I look at us now with the inclusion of Richarlison Digne Gomes Mina Bernard and Iwobi, I don’t see that much more improvement what I see is a team trying to be very tight at the back and trying to win 1-0, but with the focus being not to concede, which was pretty much what I saw with Allardyce with the only real difference being the personnel, and the fact he was very much hated from a fan’s point of view. But please don’t tell me he was disliked purely because of his style of football, I’m not a idiot who hasn’t got a clue whether you or others may think that is the case, so please don’t treat me like one, what we are seeing now isn’t a million miles away from what we were getting with Allardyce, and if I’m gonna be brutally honest we are less consistent judging by the last 3-4 games. So I stand by my first comment which you responded to.

When a new manager goes to a team usually it’s because they are playing poorly, so the first thing any manager should do is sort the defence out to stop the poor run of results, this is what we are seeing with Arteta and Ancelotti, we also saw it with Allardyce, but we didn’t like the man so didn’t accept what he was doing. What benefits Arteta more than Ancelotti is he also has MF that can play and a more clinical finisher upfront.

Welcome home lad

I think what there getting at is if you play in a wide position in the MF doesn’t mean you are a natural winger. When he plays there you don’t see him taking on the RB to get to the line to put a cross in, he’s like Pienaar when he played there he wasn’t a winger, they try to link up with the LB so they can get to line, or they cut in and drive towards the middle of the area.

If Bournemouth do require a win to stay up, and they had a choice of who they would like to play I don’t think they would change us at this moment in time.

Interesting views, I’m in agreement with his fitness issues if that’s the reason he doesn’t make the shites team, but if it’s for other reasons and he’s fit then I would take him because he would definitely be an improvement on most of what we’ve got.
