A divided fan base still when we are playing great football

Sorry I've only read the initial post. Great football? Really? For 90 mins and all that? We seem harding working and undoubtedly good moments but generally it's been very average, against very average opposition.
I'd much rather win and play average tho then play great and loose and you can only beat that is in front of you. If we finish anything other than 8th-12th I would be very surprised, much like I would be every year.
 
The thing that impresses me is we have won convincingly. Even when things weren’t going our way, we turned on the jets at the right moment and took control. None of our wins felt like the usual “Stand your ground for the final 15 and hope for the best!” We made the dying minutes comfortable.

And the one game we weren’t convincing we still should have taken. We just need to come into games with the same swagger we ended with those wins with. Don’t get complacent when we take the lead.
 
OP, I'm not sure what to tell you.

If you're expecting a consensus, you'd better build a time machine and head back half a century. Lifting the league trophy or getting relegated might get us close to one today, but we still won't quite get there.

Midtable + FSW is more or less guaranteed to lead to division, and we're fielding a midtable side. It's not impossible that we could finish in Europe, but if we do I'd attribute the result to FSW. Many of you would disagree.

Commented on this a few times before.

So I'll be lazy and copy and paste.

Today we'll have more Evertonians visit than who will visit Goodison on the opening day of the season.

In the next week, we'll have more Evertonians visit this website than those that visit Goodison over the course of the season.

Forums attract a certain demographic/mindset of fans, but that doesn't devalue the opinion and that opinion is worth no less than 31,500 season ticket holders. Many of them season ticket holders, myself included are members of this forum.

People act differently online too. I mean, I'll say Iwobi isn't good enough on here but at Goodison I wouldn't be shouting that, I'd be supporting him.

Evertonians are representative of Evertonians.

Unfortunately, if my memory serves correctly, one of the posters you are responding to has made repeated comments about fans being those in the stadium etc so your logic will not bother him
 

Does anybody remember that song that went with lyric:
'living in a house divided,
with a love that's so one-sided
...there's no chance at all
the walls are gonna fall

anyway, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for... (drum roll)....CHER!!!

 

I wasn’t keen on the Benitez appointment at all but I will give him till the end of the season at least. No matter how badly we do. Constantly changing managers just doesn’t work.

Also, he has been desperately unlucky with injuries. Take the RS’s three best players out of their team and they would also struggle. The board have also failed to back him. We needed a complete overhaul of the squad after years of mismanagement by clowns like Koeman and Silva and yet the board gave him pennies. A couple of million. I think we were the 17th or 18th highest spenders in the PL. Pathetic.

I was actually at Villa Park last night (Holte End) because my son lives in Birmingham and I was so impressed by the way they got behind their manager and their players. They were every bit the proverbial 12th man. I sometimes wish we could be a bit like that. I’ll probably never warm to Benitez the way I warmed to Beardsley or Sheedy or Dave Watson, but as a proud Blue I will certainly never boo or abuse an Everton manager (or player, for that matter) for as long as I live. It’s counterproductive anyway. Verbal abuse has never improved anything and never will. Sorry, I’m going off on a tangent!

Looking at the crowd and players yesterday on the TV, it looked like they'd started going down a strange separate style or cultural evolution like Birmingham was a chavvy Madagascar. Can you confirm or deny?
