My god, it seems every day I read a little swipe at the club from TW. Its almost like they are on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to supporting teams in Liverpool.

Its not just negative comments, its the way they say things. Like back chat from a small child.

I love my club, and I love watching them, I enjoy the speculation to an extent, and I like new developments like Stadiums, youth sides, etc....

I hate comments from people who think they know better, but at the end of the day they are not Sports Writers, they are not managers of Premiership football clubs, they have never had to deal with millions of pounds, they have never had to run a stadium, they have never had to search for investment on a large scale, they have never had to deal with the media.

And ok, they are entitled to an opinion, but if it was a forum and a little less high profile, then fair enough. But when it is a source of information for the many many fans around the world, they have a responsibility to at least try and show the club in a positive light, and not be smart arse about it.

Now I know some here think that I am never wrong, and I know that's a fault of mine, but what I don't do is unjustly criticise the club. I have my opinions like many, and I am passionate about what I write about, again like many.

I do try and backup with facts or majority belief. For instance Anichebe is not ready to lead the line, and many many agree with me. One person doesn't and that's fair enough, I'll leave it at that. But TW and in particular Michael Kendrick seems to think he is the one true voice when it comes to Everton opinions and I bet it's his voice that his heard loudest amongst the rest, and that's just down to the popularity of the site.

I just feel that he dents people's opinions with his overly cynical comments. Its not an episode of Have I Got News For You. Its not an arena to criticise the government. It should be a place where people go to read the Everton news from the fan and not just from the club.

Hence why I started the thread on developing GOT.

Ok, that's my morning rant over with.

Its not that they moan, its the "high and mighty" comments.

"The club attempted explanation"
"Club secures yes vote"
"New Signing: Stefan Wessels
Must have at least four goalies!"
 
They are the most fickle site, with the worst hidden agenda that belies their mistaken belief that theyre the 'thinking Evertonians' site.

But on the other hand, theyre popular for a reason. Plenty of blues like the place. We all find our balance - their type of fans go to their site and dog lovers come here.
 
I think many toffees go there since it's a wellknown site, not because it's the best one.

But I agree with you in what you say Ghost. When I read most articles there and so on, I get the feeling that they are trying to find the negative in everything the club do, or more specifically.. what BK and KW does.

Heck.. if BK donated £250M to the club tomorrow, there would be a article on how he can do so because he was bribed to push through the move to Kirkby.

I really love the new poll they have on TW.. the one questioning the move since it was voted through with such a small margin! It was a democratic vote! It doesn't matter if a side would have won with 1 single vote, it would still be a majority vote.

I was thinking about this as well. And I think if the vote result is reverse with the same percentile they might have said sense prevail and justice served. But it's fun to have two different sites with completely different views within the same topic, instead of reading everything one sided.
 

TW reminds me of the Titanic, cock sure they are right about everything just before they sink without trace:blink:

This is a great shame, the entire site has gone backwards, looks down on up and coming rivals such as this place with a pompous disdain, remember Lyndons support of you know who despite all evidence to the contrary..........they will get what they deserve, oblivion
