Is there a cash incentive ? Whats the csr

“I haven’t seen a worse team than us this season Tony.” Ah come on now John – how many teams have you actually watched apart from MOTD highlights? I’ll bet you fans of Coventry, Palace, Ipswich, Fulham Forest and Sunderland would happily swap elevens with us right now. Were not as good as we could/should be but were not THAT bad!

Ahh, what a game, Paul. Big Dunks’ first goal, I think, and against them. Belief is a wonderful thing. I hope our next manager brings it.

Difference moments and scenarios, but you could say if we had a better goalscorer then we’d be 1 up with that header buried. We were clearly set up not to get beat. The facts are it’s 2 wins in 14, soon to be 15. Lowly Ipswich who were forcing an equaliser despite being down to 10 men and a Palace side who should have been out of sight before we scored. Performances this season have been abysmal.

Got a spare seat and ticket in the csr john for Arsenal u fancy it

Was that Pita with the centre for our goal? I don’t like the idea of Graham or Olayiwola playing in these games the foreign opposition will have them away before you know it.

Good post Christy. Its clear to see. Thing that baffles me is the fans who cant see it mate

Garner for me. Hes off the pace in central midfield areas,probably due to coming back too early from injury.

Where would you play Rohl? Who would you play right back?

Moyes has learned nothing from our disastrous finish, to last season, his stubbornness in those last seven games, cost us, and his philosophy hasn’t changed. Starting Rohl on the wing, yet again his preference for putting square pegs in round holes yet again, bringing on a totally unfit Norgaard, who’s a defensive midfielder and we needed a goal, and the out of form Johnson against Chelsea in the last 5 mins, disastrous, leaving Alcaraz, Hackney and Dibling on the bench yet again, and he tells us in his press conference how great they are in training, so form means nothing. He fell out with O’Brien, and Maitland-Niles and Rohl are poorer defensively at full back, but he won’t play him? As John said, we’re definitely going to struggle in the coming months.

I havent seen a worse team than us this season Tony. I think we could be in trouble mate.

I need them after reading your posts Mark.

Two wins in fourteen, is worrying John, especially now we have got the manager playing the same team minus N’Diaye, who didn’t score enough, didn’t create enough, and yet was still our most productive player.

What other trophy did we win that season?

It’s a dammed shame what’s happened to the site. I can’t be doing with it as it is. It has/had the best set of posters, but I’m struggling to enjoy it now.

John you got stop taking them pills mate. Boxing day is ages away also john if the ref would of done his job right we would still be unbeaten and in the top 4 haha

John i dont dislike him to me he was just an average player. But we have been smashed on the right side for a good 5 seasons and what he was getting paid for he was not even close to doing . Football is all about opinions and our fans put players on pedestals who i think are rank average and we achieved nothing with them fair i believe. But no Everton fan thinking straight could defend him. To me fans love big Dunc to me average and dont know how fans go on about him but everyone is allowed there opinions. I was brought thinking a good days work for a good day pay.

Hi Eric, This doesn’t help much, but if you hover your mouse over the ‘2 hours ago’, it will show the date and time of the post. Not sure how you do this on the phone!! There should be an option for us to show the date stamp rather than the relative time. I’ll ask about it.…

21-10-26 — 9-51am James I loved Duncan in those big games v Liverpool and Unt, but I also remember the dozens of games when he played poor or indifferent games— I understand the fans who saw him as an idol but idols are really a lot more consistent than Duncan ever was.

“ He’s a bottle- less get” love that Andrea — how to insult someone without swearing!

Watched the PSG v Barcelona game last night and what an absolute treat it was. No passing across the back line then into midfield then back to the back 4 again. This was 2 teams packed with talented players, their first touch was a joy to behold and the goals were terrific the pick of the goals had to be Lamine Yamals goal, this kid has got everything. The pace at which both teams moved the ball was very impressive. They were like 2 boxers standing toe to toe each wanting to prove they were the better team. It restored my faith in football that you don’t have to play in the negative manner that many of our games are played.

Jimmy, I was at the final and can remember feck all about it, I was that pissed mate. But I did know that we had won when Gerald Ashby blew the final whistle. I’ve never watched the full game since, but clearly I need to. I ended up having brekkie in Wood Green around 10AM Sunday. Love ‘the future Mrs. Salt’ line. We did have a ‘winning mentality’ back then mate, but only under Big Joe. I hope, like me, Jimmy, that you were at Joe’s first game on that chilly November night.. Now there’s a memory!

Just had a look at the fixtures . We will be very lucky not to be in the bottom 5 on Boxing day imo. On current form and performance.

Very good Derek. Spot on

I remember it like it was yesterday; I never got a ticket and was just too nervous to watch it. I took the future Mrs Salt for something to eat at Uncle Sam’s on Renshaw Street after a short shopping trip to Gratie Market (the real one). There was a young lad on one of the stalls singing and dancing to “The Bomb” – these songs fall into my mind, then an update on the radio we had scored one nil, yes!. The waiter at Uncle Sam’s was a fellow blue, and the odd thumbs up from him told me we were still winning. Then he came over to say the final whistle had gone, and we both gave a little cheer. Then out for the rest of the night to celebrate. One thing I remember after all these years was the winning mentality, belief and ‘never say die’ attitude of that team. We knew we weren’t the best, but we knew we could beat the best.

Ask your Uncle Paddy

I went to the Charity Shield match against relegated Wigan as someone gave me a hospitality ticket. You should have seen the grin on his kipper. You’d have thought he’d won the Champions League. Funny thing was, the Man Utd supporter I went with had convinced himself they had hired the next Alex Ferguson.

Bayern Munich. And we would have beaten any other team in Europe as well that season.

When the book is written about the crises Everton faced over the last 5 years, Seamus Coleman’s contract extensions were not even merit a footnote. You seem obsessed Mark.

Couldn’t reply to your 2nd post David, but I think that it’s a great post

Instead of having the posts referenced as ‘2 hours ago’ etc. why not have a timestamp so the exact post can be referenced. Recent Articles banner on home page doesn’t open any listing.

What teams did we beat on the way to our ECWC Final?

Like almost all Managers he’s convinced he has the Footballing equivalent of ‘Papal Infallibility’ it’s ‘His way or the Highway – oh, and by the way, there’s no highway option.’ They don’t all call it their’ Philosophy’ – but that’s what it is. 1) it’s alway correct because…It’s The Philosophy, I agree with it, so it must be right and it must be right because I agree with it. Etc, etc. Failure (to win games) cannot be due to The Philosophy* – see 1 above! Failure to win games is due to poor application of The Philosophy by others* – see1 above *=Not my fault Thus the cure for failure is more Philosophy, applied better. QED – see 1 above! Nothing has changed…while obviously Everything has. That was Moyes 22yrs ago and still Moyes now. You dont find a system that maximises what you have – No, The Philosophy mandates that players must fit into the system – see 1 above! Marcus Bent could come back in and play it in a blind fold…and probably do no worse than Barry

Ian (1 day ago), I think Patric is saying there is a clear trend. If he is right then a proper root cause analysis is warranted. Picking simple human error is very much the root cause of last resort these days.

Correct Brendan. Leighton signed one year extensions in 2019 and 2020. He made the decision to retire,then Everton offered him another one year.He stuck to his guns.

Mark Baines rejected a one year extension and opted to transition into a coaching role with Everton instead. He’s still there. Some Toffeewebbers would see that as “nepotism” and symptomatic of our ills. Seamus accepted the contract extensions. Perhaps he wasn’t offered or didn’t fancy coaching? He’s gone.

He didnt Mark. They offered him a one year contract.He chose to retire. Not the same imo. You obviously dislike him.Why?

John bainsy said no at 35 .

I certainly would be Geoff but dont hold your breath mate. Look at the fixture list for Thursdays Confrence fixtures. Very difficult to name the countries 90% of the teams are from.

I don’t think that I’e ever heard anyone say that the 90’s were ‘a magical time’ for us James. I remember a dish of all-too-often crap footy with proper relegation scares (setting us up very nicely for the next thirty years) punctuated by a cup win, a dreadfully embarrassing Derby record, and some painfully poor gaffers. Hope that your recovery is going well JM.

He did John but most teams who qualify do so via their domestic cup competition’s. Its the league cup winners who are 1st choice here. Even when we lifted the trophy the EUFA Cup although considered Europe’s 3rd competition had an extra round and more quality teams, and therefore was harder to win. I don’t think any trophy should be sneered at I can remember when the league cup was also considered Mickey Mouse. I am sure I am not the only Evertonian who would be happy if we won both over the next 2 seasons

Ah the old I go the match therefore I am rears its ugly head once more. Mark please get the simple things right please, like full stops.

No it’s not Geoff, that would be the Europa League surely?

Dear God, is he going on about Seamus again.

There was of course Billy Bingham who played for both Everton and the Glens, also managed Northern Ireland and Everton

Mark Steers. I cant reply to your post,no option. Do you think Seamus should have said no to the renewed contract extensions the club gave him? I agree with some of your point,age caught up with him but its the clubs responsibility to see that.Not Colemans to tell them.

John im saying we’re hopeless that Everton fc do not have a genuine Right Back in our Squad. For me this has been like this for 4 seasons now im sick of makeshift Right Backs john. John the last 4 seasons our only Right Back was Coleman and he was the worst Right Back in the premier league 4 seasons in a row . You might come back and say patterson but he was bought as a player for the future this has to stop .

Geoff. Didnt he win The European Conference League. The one below the Europa League?

Andrea the tinpot European trophy he won with WHU is the equivalent of the Cup Winners Cup, the semi final of which produced Goodison’s greatest night and Rotterdam wasn’t to bad either.
