"Everton can win the Premier League"

We're going to win the league, screw all this managing expectations crap I've never seen an Everton side with this good of a chance at doing something special in the league and I'm not going to miss the chance to go a bit mental thinking of what could happen. If we do crash and burn then at least I enjoyed the ride while we were on the up and I don't have doubts that maybe my negativity was in some part to blame. Seriously, if we start believing it then maybe Martinez and the players will start believing it too and it might make them start acting like champions.
There's another thing too, I can't be arsed with all of this flying under the radar bull**** because we've been flying under the radar for 20 years now, I want us to show up as a big **** off circle like the alien ship in indepenence day. I want Martinez to say we're going to win the title every week in his press conferences then after we've beat the RS 21-0 at Wembley in April after having already won the title the week before I want Martinez to show up at the post match press conference with a big **** off grin on his face, say "We're Everton aren't we?" and walk out into the sunset with Z cars playing because it was never in doubt. If we want to be at the top we're going to have to learn how to deal with the spotlight sometime so we might as well deal with it now.
It's a slim chance and I know we always do things the hard way but we're Everton aren't we?


Edit: Reading that back it's a bit mad what half a season of bringing a gun to a gun fight does to you.

haha enjoyed that!
 
the Christmas schedule is going to really test the strength of the squad. We'll likely have to make use of the likes of Alcarez, Naismith, Jelavic, maybe even Heitinga and Hibbo.

Maybe "people who win the league" don't go "2-0 down" in the first place.

Did our Title winning teams of '85 amd '87 ever come back from 0-2 to win 3-2?

Our title winning team in 85 lost their first game of the season to spurs 4-1

What they did was win 10 consecutive games.

They lost a fair few.

What we've got to do is take each game at s time. Just put pressure on the teams around us.

See what happens

Unless we get some good back up in Jan for Barry/McCarthy we'll be absolutely f*cked if we lost either of them for a period of time. McCarthy was a massive loss today and we only played Fulham.

No more loans for me either in Jan unless we have a serious option to buy in the summer. We around 15m-ish in the summer money has to be made available.

WE've got our full quota of loans, I think. Is the rule that you can only play three in one game, or that you can only have three altogether?

Think we lost 5 in total including last 2 when we had already won league. Mini wobble in late November vs Norwich and poss Chelsea and Heath got badly injured vs sheffield we'd. Gray came in though and they bounced back. Massive self belief in that team, never knew when it was beaten. This lads are showing real signs of that self belief and togetherness. Rivals stronger in this era though.

Won 28. Drawn 6. Lost 8.

They went on two 5 games winning spurts.

Then later a monster 10 game run of wins. Lost a few surprising ones.


We've just got to take it a game at a time. Not dwell on setbacks just winning games. I believe we can do anything though. Some manager martinez.

Yep. Just checked. March and April were awesome with progress on 3 fronts. Some of it seems like yesterday, some of it a blur of success! One game at a time and no hang ups about setbacks is correct. Positive mental attitude will take this team a long way because there is bags of skill in there and they are enjoying taking it in turns to make a telling contribution.
 
It was interesting watching MOTD and hearing Thierri Henry saying Everton were the best team arsenal had played all season. Things like this keep coming up and you think god this season really is different, we're on a whole other level. For me top four is totally possible, almost expected, but the title? It would be amazing but I can't see it.
