Why've I just seen one person get an infraction for calling people 'd*ckheads' but another person said the same thing and didn't get an infraction? Sorry to be off topic but...angry Helen is here today.
 
A piece of metal in a box is neither here nor there... just judge him on the strength of your memories. Real fans remember the little details. There have been countless games that once played became meaningless but that shouldn't diminish what they made you feel as they happened. There are so many of those little details I enjoy great memories of, simply too many to list.

Moyes was given a relative pittance in terms of what the top 2 spend and a mere slice of the what the top 7/8 spend. If you don't back a manager in a competitive league there is only so much he can do. If you want to judge his success by fluking a cup (Middlesbrough/Bolton/Portsmouth/Liverpoool/Wigan e.t.c) then fine, but I'll still take as much from Jagielka's penalty against United than I ever did, even though no tin cup came at the end of it.

Did you report it H? we need your help!! :)
 

I worry about the health of GOT this summer. Usually the close season is a meltfest at the best of time but a managerless Everton could start our very own Hiroshima on here. Close the Everton forum ffs.

The end of an era for us and while in the scheme of things it won't be looked back as anywhere near glory days, I have some good memories and am a bit more prouder of how we are at present. Moyes done an excellent stabilising job and hopefully laid the foundations for the right person to come in and win stuff.

It will be fill weird but change usually does after so long, when I had to move over from Goat's mar to Del's mar it took some getting used to. We need to push on though, eighteen years without a trophy is nothing to celebrate for Evertonfubbellklub.

Have a bevvy, remember some good times but a massive summer coming up that's to impact massively on how you'll be feeling about Everton for the next ten years probably.

Every single one of yer mars.
 
I haven't been Moyes greatest fan but I can certainly thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best. Time to see what the future will bring

David Moyes is largely responsible for some of the most cherished memories of my young and - before you all dive in there - yes, pathetically underexperienced life. I really don't care how istatements like that look, whether they make me look small time, the club look small time, whether they seem like a painful indictment that our glory days are well and truly behind us and that I don't know what its like to witness genuine Everton greatness or even genuine splendour the world has to offer: none of those thoughts change the fact I've grown up with and through football over the last 11 years, and Moyes has been all I've known. There have been some bad lows - 7-0 at Highbury, 5-1 Bucharest, a couple of dreadful derbies and one or two other unsavoury collapses - but also some great highs, some great nights. They ranged from the expectantly huge (Villarreal, Metalist Kharkhiv away, West Ham league cup quaterfinal, Chelsea league cup semifinal, Liverpool 3-0, FA Cup semifinal [I cried when Jagielka's pen went in. Tears of joy) to the delightful surprises (7-1 Sunderland, 1-0 Arsenal with Andy Johnson in the snow, those fiery games against Villa. A great 3-1 win against Portsmouth when we were out for Europe. That brilliant Osman goal against Lsarissa. Pummelling United and Chelsea in the same week. There has been many) and, I tip my hat off to the almost unsurpassable Fiorentina game. It still pains me to remember that we actually went out that night, because if we had got through I would still be reliving it now. The noise after Arteta's goal was genuinely awe-inspiring. I knew then that I was in special company that night, and I just wanted to live it every game. To have followed Everton in the 80s; alas, if only.

And alas indeed, because alas is all I've got. The closest I've seen us come to glory is a dejected Neville being comforted by the cruelly injured Arteta on a baking Wembley turf. My notions of glory go no further than the feeling of pride I got knowing we'd finished above the likes of Villa, Newcastle, Spurs, Portsmouth Sunderland, Liverpool and City at various times, all of them having spent more than us. But then it was the very games that make a season mundane that I'll always be grateful for - Arteta's goal of the seaon against Bolton; that mad game when Ruddy and Turner went off; McFadden's eye bogglingly special goal against Charlton, the occasional dishings of football we handed out like 5-1 Hull, 6-1 Brann, 3-0 Portsmouth.


I can't think of all those games and memories - insigifcant though they each individually might be - and think of the contributions Moyes made to them. Given what he had to work with finanially, he regularly turned out quality teams. He furnished the team with great characters like Cahill, Arteta, Jagielka, Neville, Osman who never gave less than 100% and never carried themselves with an ego. If nothing else, he gave you pride in your team. He certainly gave me pride in and great memories of Everton.

So farewell Davey, and good luck. I would say you've done us and yourself proud, and you will be missed. And remember: whilst the titles are simply there to be won for you now, you were first - and always will be - a champion of the people's club.

Great post. For the younger Evertonians Moyes is all we've really known and thus we have no golden generation to compare the team to.

On a side note, wonderful atmosphere in the LG today.
FORZA EVERTON.
 
Seems some people just couldn't take being in an overwhelming minority who didn't want to give Moyes a Goodison farewell and decided to wind others up on the internet to make themselves feel better. Pity them, like. No need to actually be arsed about it.

Anyway, boss performance, couldn't have asked for more from the lads, apart from maybe some better finishing (we were unlucky, tbf though). Another clean sheet and boss football throughout. Let's hope the next manager can keep up the progress we've been making under Moyes.

Another 6th place all wrapped up now. Great stuff. I'm sure if it'd been a European place we'd all have been a fair bit happier about it but it wasn't to be.

Fans were magnificent today. It was never solely about Moyes. Every Moyes chant was followed by "who the [Poor language removed] are Man Utd" etc and then an Everton song would get aired to remind the TV cameras what that game was really about - 3 points for Everton football club and that we go on without Moyes. Anyone thinking the supporters acted small time today is clearly injecting turbo smack.
