Welcome to Doomsville

I am forever an optimist — after all I am an Evertonian — but I’ve been driven to write this article by some of the shite I read day in day out on the forums and posts. When are we just going to accept this is were we are, these are the players we have — who, by the way, put us in the decent league position we found ourselves in at the end of last season; the players who have left made very little contribution to last season's final outcome.

Yes, I would love the club to be rolling in money, but the fact of the matter is we aren’t and for the foreseeable future we won't be. I think David Moyes is doing an exceptional job given the circumstances in which he finds us. In an inflated transfer market why on earth should he go out and pay extortionate transfer fees for — come on, let's face it — average players.

Koumas? For Christ's sake, for 5 million of your English pounds, it's going beyond a joke and I know that old line will rolled out, “this is the going rate” blah, blah, blah... I would not jeopardize the club's financial future on any of these buffoons who have been touted to come to Goodison.

But back to the main reason I have put finger to keyboard and it's this: the incessant moaning from the doom merchants that call themselves Blues. Yes, it's OK being concerned but to bombard the Blue websites with nothing but negativity and end-of-days scenarios is too much for me.

First and foremost, I love our club with a passion, as do the majority of blues. I tend not to get hung up too much on players these days as there is not much loyalty from that side of the fence, but players who know the score will see EFC for what it is and what it will remain to be forevermore: a massive, well-supported club. So if they fancy plying their trade here and they are good enough, they're more than welcome. Regardless of what happens down the line, EFC will be here long after we are all in the ground. It will be supported by our offspring and their offspring for generations to come because it will never die and that’s what I love.

I feel part of the history and the tradition. I don’t care if we're skint or we don’t win the league. The Chelseas and Newcastles of this world can keep blowing their money for all they're worth but remember that they can't buy what we have we, and it's this: we don’t have fickle on-the-bandwagon type of supporters at Goodison, we have passionate, knowledgeable football people. Not some bunch of moaning tossers who think if you spend loads of coin you automatically have the right to be acknowledged as a big outfit or winners of loads of trophies.

Money brings more troubles than it alleviates, jealousy, envy which don’t fit in with sprit of a team sport like football. You throw enough money at something like this and I’m telling you, it goes pair shaped eventually and the bunch of lads we currently have at our club seem to get on and they are there because they all wanted to be here.

Remember, Many Are Called, Few Are Chosen.

But we have been chosen to be part of this great club that is EFC and I don’t care what any other club is doing or spending. I will be there through good and bad, thick and thin, Premiership or Vauxhall conference. So come on Gents and ladies do what you will do anyway and get behind those lads in blue and stop the moaning and fantasies and be what you have been born to do: be part of one of the greatest institutions to have ever been formed. We are nothing but the best, so let's start acting like it .
