*Shakes head* Everton again.

[TSC]

If Everton needed to win or draw yesterday they'd have got a result.  Under normal circumstances they'd have beat a city side who on the day were average (in fact they've been 'average' since losing at Anfield), but they simply didn't go for it.  Whether or not it was deliberate is debatable, but certainly when they got the 2nd with plenty of time on the clock city were there for the taking.

 

Instead it fizzled out to almost exhibition friendly levels.  Unfortunately it was always on the cards after the results the previous weekend for both them and us.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

It was just a weird game. Particularly the first half. It was like that Barkley's goal flicked the bitter switch in some of their players and they though "hang on, this isn't going how it should be" and they downed tools. Passing it amongst themselves in their own half. No desire to get at a rocked City to get a second. It was all very World Cup game in the 1980s against two South American teams.

 

I don't think Martinez was happy. He was visibly trying to urge them on from the touchline. I definitely think he had a word at half time, as they were much better in the second half, apart from the first few minutes, but the damage was already done.

 

The fans played their part the most though. Like they spurred us on against City, that atmosphere must've had some effect on the players too. Making them maybe pull out of a tackle they'd normally rattle into, not give 100%.

 

I go on a Facebook footie page, and one of the Everton admins on there confirmed that the atmosphere amongst the fellow blues was poisonous. Verbal and physical threats against fans who wanted to get behind their own team as it constituted supported the "redshite".

 

It will be hilarious if we win it still. They'd have shown themselves up as the bitter, small time, obsessed cunts that they are, for nothing.

Makes me laugh that RAWK locked their Everton thread as soon as a few posters started giving the bitters some stick about their "performance" last night.

 

Not sure which I find more nauseating...Everton's half arsed performance (given they still had a chance of Champions League qualification) or RAWK mods licking the bitters arseholes.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Small-time Everton, RAWK gestapo... plus ça change.

[JoeyJones65]

Supposing we just miss out on the title, no doubt the bitters will indulge in petty small time celebrations yadda yadda.

 

What goes round comes around though. A little time will pass...then the draw will be made for the Champions League qualifiers...oh look Everton aren't there...dear oh dear eh? Never mind eh? had your chance lads but you preferred your team not to bother putting a shift in against City just so we'd miss out on the title...watch their angry little goblin faces start to screw up when this happens to get mentioned in passing conversation.

 

Then the icing on the cake comes with the main draw for the group stages. Liverpool FC are there, taking our place back at the top table of European football, while our dear beloved neighbours have to make do with Thursday nights on Channel 5, and pundits like Pat Nevin trying to big up their games against obscure opposition from Kazakstan and the like...then the ultimate joy of seeing said obscure team give the bitters a right twatting.

 

Shall we also see how many quality players you lot can attract to the pit next season...when there is Champions League football to be had at Anfield? Nah let's leave that for now....we will be the ones laughing at you next season...normal service resumed. Back in your box, and in our shadow.

They're going to be sick as parrots if Arsenal lose today. It'll serve them right as well.

 

 

*edit* Just seen how unlikely that will be now as Arsenal are winning.

Europa League football hasn't been on Channel 5 for the last two seasons.

Bluenose cunt next door to me screamed early on '' what a  goal '' had to check because I thought it was a City goal.

 

If you care more about another team losing more than you care about yours winning you are no supporter. Fuck off and watch Snooker.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

They're still revelling in it. They're illogical claims that "they've cost us the league", along with Gerrard's slip. Ignoring that a season is 38 games long. Not 36. Or 1 or 2. Lazily cherry picking one or two games to try and be smart.

 

Just play them at their own game. Remind them that they missed out on 5 available points to us, and that we gave Arsenal 3 points at The Emirates so, in applying their logic, Everton would've been in the Champions League if it wasn't for Liverpool.

Remember moyes with his bubbly and a week later we went on to win the Champions league, hopefuly this may come back to haunt the cunts

[G Richards]

Mourinho will take Lukaku back to Chelsea, or if he doesn't want him he will be sold to someone in the Champions League. Everton will struggle to get another striker in the same class. And I'm not sure how long Barkley will stay. 

 

If they manager to finish 5th this season it will be the pinnacle for Bobby Brown (shoes) at Everton. It's all downhill from here. Man Utd will be better. Spurs will be better. And I can't see Everton being better than this year. Seventh next season. At best.

I'd love to see us win the league and the lads to don a T-Shirt that says "It's only the winning that counts . . . . Liverpool aren't we."

It's going to be real fun bumping into bitters if we win the league.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

If we win the League, bitters won't even enter my thoughts.  Not for a fuckin second.
