• Darren, mate, one thing you didn't say is that the OP is utterly unnecessary. How many times recently have we had the same OP again and again, let's compare Moyes/this season to previous season? It's boring DH. I only care about this season which has been a mix and match of good and bad so far where any result can move you three or. four or more places in the table. We could be fourth or eleventh on Monday. Meanwhile, lovely people like Mark, to be fair DH, and the south-west coach, travel long distances to go the match not because of Moyes FFS but because they are Evertonians. ...
  Paul Griffiths in Everton’s great start to the season in numbers
• MIke @18 Exaggerative ???? Read the Article FFS. Are you really suggesting its not triumphant ??? Sorry, but it is crystal clear that Paul Hewitt (fuelled by this embarrassing cheer leading ) came on to goad anybody not prepared to kneel at the feet of Davey Moyes. I asked him a question because he recently posted on this, an Everton website, that he was Going to purchase a ticket when the egg chasers come to the BM. A valid question to somebody who was telling the rest of us how we should view Davey Moyes. He was prepared to pay to see mindless egg chasing, but not to see a team managed by the guy he was championing as some sort of saviour. It was NOT an open question to "people" as you claim. Nobody else had posted. When Mark Murphy came along to not just tell us that he had been to four games, but that he had paid a fortune for his tickets. I took this to be a boast. Still do. Especially when he was intimating that he now goes because of the football we are playing under...
  Darren Hind in Everton’s great start to the season in numbers
• Past performance is no guarantee of future gains. Anything can happen and while such articles are statistically interesting to the nerdish the end is still 6 months away. Let's see where we are then before handing out flowers....
  Eric Myles in Everton’s great start to the season in numbers
• Paul, Dibling will come good. He’s a very talented boy, and I hope his confidence hasn’t been dented from being benched so often. Hopefully we get to see what he can do in the next couple of months....
  James Newcombe in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall embracing Everton protagonism before Stamford Bridge visit
• Anjush I thought this was a perfectly good article mate but one word of advice. Interact. If people give you some stick and it’s legit hold your hands up and say “fair kop governor.” If as in this case they’re talking rubbish then come on and defend your corner. I remember Michael getting irritated with one poster, Patrick Connor?? Who’d start great threads then we people replied he disappeared into the ether never to be heard from again. If you just drop and article and go AWOL that’s why people say AI. If you interact back and forth a little bit you build a fan base and credibility as a writer. Ditto Harry Diamond and the rest. Contrary to criticism by some there have been some decent articles on here by the newbies lately but you need to be a bit more visible to win over the patrons. ...
  Kieran Kinsella in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall embracing Everton protagonism before Stamford Bridge visit
• "Boast" and "triumphant"... I'm sorry to see you setting up your exaggerative straw men again, Darren. I thought you'd left that nasty habit behind. Don't you think people should be able respond to your query about number of games attended without being derided as boastful, or compliment the manager's record without being falsely characterized as triumphant? Isn't it OK for us to enjoy the fact that we're not in a relegation battle for the first time in five years? Must we be irate that there's no title challenge yet? The sneering simply isn't fair. ...
