Wretched football, erroneous boasts: Sam Allardyce was an Everton misfit

Spot on that HS , and even better is the David Squires cartoon take on Arsene Wenger further down the page , absolutely brilliant riff on Shawshank Redemption.

They spouted of so much early doors, no one bar maybe the keeper would bring in a decent fee, stadium a pit in the ground, no Europe, a bullshitter in charge. Their predictions come August?

 

Moshiri will bankroll us with his billion on paper ( Usmanov wink wink ) Silva is better than Klopp, will win the PL because of no distractions. Stadium will hold 90k including an Olympic size swimming pool and airport.

Everton fans drink more than any other group of supporters in the Premier League, according to study

 

FootballTips.com conducted research to find out who were the biggest drinkers in the Premier League

 

Are Everton driving their supporters to drink?

 

The Toffees have endured a dismal season, sacking Ronald Koeman in October after a terrible start to the season and appointing Sam Allardyce a month later after the Blues flirted with a relegation battle.

 

And the season seems to be taking its toll, with a new survey showing that Everton fans consume more units of alcohol than any other group of supporters in the Premier League.

 

According to a survey carried out by www.FootballTips.com , Everton fans consume an average of 43 units per week, followed by fans of Crystal Palace (40 units) and Chelsea fans (35 units).

 

The study was “carried out in a bid to gain further insight into the lifestyle of fans of the beautiful game”. For the purpose of the study, 2,400 UK-based adults aged 18 or over were quizzed, all of whom revealed that they followed football and supported at least one of the Premier League teams. Respondents were split evenly over all 20 teams.

 

Initially, all participants were asked “How many units of alcohol do you drink, on average, in a typical week?” and they were given a unit guide for reference. Researchers then found the average for each team, with the results emerging as follows:

 

1. Everton – 43 units (on average)

 

2. Crystal Palace – 40 units

 

3. Chelsea – 35 units

 

4. Tottenham – 34 units

 

5. Man Utd – 31 units

 

6. Stoke City – 30 units

 

7. Burnley – 26 units

 

8. Man City – 25 units

 

9. Liverpool – 23 units

 

10. Arsenal – 21 units

 

11. West Brom – 18 units

 

12. Newcastle – 17 units

 

13. Swansea – 15 units

 

14. Huddersfield – 10 units

 

15. West Ham – 10 units

 

16. Watford – 8 units

 

17. Southampton - 6 units

 

18. Brighton – 6 units

 

19. Bournemouth – 5 units

 

20. Leicester – 4 units

That is indeed a glorious thing. As ever with Squires, it's the little details like the sign on the sinking ship shown on the tin.

Leicester 4 units? Absolute bollocks.

 

Didn't realise the Fat Sam special (pint of wine) had caught on with their fans too.

I can understand them hating Sam Allardyce and his style of football but why do they peddle this myth that they were brought up on good football and demand and attractive style of play?. It's not like they are Man Utd who have been brought up on Alex Ferguson's attacking teams to now be faced with Mourinho and his bus parking.

 

When they had Martinez they moaned about his "tippy tappy shite". They had no unique style under Koeman. Prior to that was Moyes and his eye aids footy. Before that they had Walter Smith and Joe Royle's Dogs of War twatting it up to Big Dunc.

 

Even though their 85 team was successful they never played much attractive possession footy. Watch that Bayern semi final and it's all long balls into the box and battering them into submission.

 

So you probably have to go back to the sixties when Everton probably played any attractive footy. I don't know what happened to them in the seventies.

Allardyce was sacked as Newcastle manager during the 2007/08 season with them 11th in the league, and they were relegated the season after. Allardyce was sacked as Blackburn manager during the 2010/11 season with them in 13th position, and they were relegated the season after. Fingers crossed for the hat trick.
