Calvert-Lewin expects another electric atmosphere as Everton fans gear up for protest

Let the crowd do their job. We need to win this one to make a statement.

Banners, flags, chants, songs etc… are all fine but why not a collective mooning on 10 minutes to cause a worldwide sensation? Fuck the prem!! Bunch of arseholes the lot of them.

Good Luck with the protest.

'He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill.Our antagonists is our helper.'

Edmund Burke.

Fuck the Premier League and the other arsehole teams after suing us – we should sue the Premier League for allowing Saudi states to own clubs. 🤷💙

It just might be one of those needed handbrake-turn moments for the game.

It's a big moment for Everton FC and perhaps for the future governance of the game in the top-flight, but we really shouldn't compare it to what happened on that fateful day back in April 1989.

I understand your sentiment, and I'm sure that many of the less tribal football fans will empathise with our current plight.

Absolutely essential that we avoid unnecessary bookings and we play to our strengths which must mean finding a way of improving the service to Calvert-Lewin.

Big big game for the manager and his staff, who will all need to remember their Clough days and bring some of his magic to the proceedings.

Whatever the result we have to unite together manager, players and supporters against the rest, and importantly keep our collective heads, so that we retain the support of the sporting press and the wider football community.

Last place Man Utd probably want to go and they're miles off the team they used to be.

Keep it disciplined but aggressive from the off, get the crowd onside and take it from there. We have a fully fit first team and are at home so no excuses.

3 pts would be the perfect answer – one game at a time.

We seem to have unlimited grass at Finch Farm, as whoever needs to be on it, gets to do so. Maybe we should invite the Premier League Board and Commission to come along and try being on the grass! It might chill them out.

Unbelievable you may think.

I agree, I didn't know we had any top referees!

By the way, what happened to Brazil? They've lost la nuestra.

For the Man Utd match, harsh decisions against us plenty of bookings for minor tackles etc. No VAR to go out way for this match.

In fact, I fully expect both to be in place for the remainder of the season.

I don't think there will be... After all we're not from the dark side!

He has given out four red cards in 8 Premier League games, this season. Van Dijk of Liverpool, Bissouma of Spurs, Aguerrd of West Ham and Dahoud of Brighton. A 50% strike rate. We have another 1st as Holgate was the first Premier League player he ever sent off !!

Chris Kavanagh is the VAR – god help us.

After last season's near-miss, they do appear to have more strength and resilience, especially if Calvert-Lewin can remain fully fit and Doucouré continues his good form after apparently wanting to leave last season.

Man Utd have talent as we all know but have been iffy under Ten Haag so the 3 points could be ours providing the officiating doesn't jeopardize our chances.

COYB

The fuckers at the Premier League have opened Pandora's box and I hope the bastards burn! 🔥 UTFT COYB ETID

We may well spend long periods under the cosh, important the crowd stay onside and with the players.

"The majority of Everton fans don't intend to take the penalty lying down. Planned protests this weekend include a march on Our League HQ in London, flying a banner over the Etihad on Saturday, before booing the Premier League anthem and holding up red cards that read “Premier League: Corrupt” during the game at Goodison."

And Ten Hag is scared shitless: “I can see the opposition and I can see they are mad. That's their fuel, we have to match those standards.”

Are the Premier League bringing in Graham Poll to brief the match officials on how to slap down the dissenters?

Pleased that Calvert-Lewin and the team are looking forward to it, it should be a cracker regardless of the result.

This could be epic for EFC, probably one of only a handful of occasions since 1995 that is truly unmissable.

In fact, from this point, on every game will feel like a cup final. As long as we stick together and with the team and manager and we believe I think we will be fine.

This is an opportunity to truly show what Everton really is and what a real presence we are. Let's shove it right up those corrupt twats.

WHO ARE WE? UTFTs

Klip-Klop should have made a comment supporting us by now. Oh wait, he wants to form a Super League, so he couldn't care less.

Keep an eye out for dodgy decisions against us for the rest of the season, starting Sunday. And of course the red bastards trying to score as many against us as possible, maybe even them making banners supporting the Premier League. Coyb.

They were one of the four clubs (with Spurs, Arsenal and Man Utd) who lobbied the Premier League to introduce the random £105M limit. Anything to keep other clubs in their place.

They would have actually failed the test themselves if applied a couple of years earlier. The personnel might have changed since 2013 but not their outlook.

Not sure what Calvert-Lewin has said but it must be right.

The point made was that various Everton fans' groups were trying to attend Goodison, for the media to witness our dissatisfaction against the Everton board. It will have been on the same day our Fans Advisory Board member was stood at the Pier Head, talking about the board on a different level to those that turned up at Goodison that evening.

If anyone can remember the article, although it gained some support, a lot of responses were: "What will this achieve?" "Waste of time"… Well, had we fought a lot harder back then, we might have achieved something against the board, and might not even be in this mess now, but too many thought it was pointless.

Now we find ourselves all banding together because the punishment does not fit the crime, every single Evertonian is shouting from the same hymnsheet, and we have to fight back against the corruption in the Premier League.

I just wished back then when we tried to do something about it, more could have come forward and taken it to the board sooner, rather than just the last year.

Some of us saw this coming, not the 10-point deduction but the unprofessional way the club and accounts were being run. We tried to at least try and do something; we never quite got enough backing back then, but that chance has gone.

This is a second chance for the supporters to come together, get our point across to the Premier League, do whatever we can, but we have to stand together on this one.

Those who are still sat on the fence, still undecided whether this protest is worthwhile, the fans need you more than ever on this one.

We missed one opportunity years ago, let's not throw this one away on Sunday, we all have to come together on this one and stand as one.

Up the Toffees.

The Toffees were handed a 10-point sanction after being found to have breached financial rules.

City boss Guwondealio was asked if he was worried what could happen to the club after Everton's punishment.

"It's two different cases. It's not the same - honestly," said Guwondealio. 'Honestly' is not the word he should be using.

Enough is Enough — Brian Wikinson, 11 July 2022

The Everton Board came out with a load of crap when they were first charged by the Premier League.

Do you really expect honesty from any of them?

UTFTs!

I remember when we protested at Goodison Park, outside and inside, when Kenwright was with us. 'Kenwright Out' etc,

Sky cameras conveniently left most of them out, but concentrated on the 'Moshiri angle'.

Sorry to be a naysayer but I think your timeline is a bit off.

Your fine article was from July of last year and directed at the Everton Board. Most of them 'left' (persuaded to leave… sacked?) soon after and were subsequently given huge payoffs that may well tip our 2022-23 PRS Calculation! But I digress.

Suffice to say the "Enough is Enough" protest was effective. And then protest virtually evaporated after the Board was 'cleansed'. Job done?

Yet what I'm trying to point out is that the damage was already done and set in concrete in terms of profligate expenditure that caused the charge of breaching PSR. So I just think it's unlikely that greater protest back then could have changed things for us now.

Earlier? Yes… but it would have to have been a lot earlier, when the silky-tongued lothario held everyone in awe and few questioned his judgement and his running of the club.
