I’ve said it before, but this is so true. Expectations are far too high. Some fans expect us to be challenging the top 4 whilst having a stadium to pay for & posting record losses. Some fans expectations are on a different planet. We had our chance 4 years ago, buy decent players, break into the top 4, increase revenues etc. We gambled & lost, big time. Add to this a string of failed Managers & staff that needed to be paid off. Now, its the stadium OR team. We can’t have both. Arsenal & Spurs have found this out….amongst others.
The sooner fans realise that we’re gonna have a few years of austerity, the better. We’re at least mid-table for the foreseeable future. The atmosphere isn’t good & it’s not helping. Do other teams around us make for such a bad atmosphere & are as hostile towards their own club? Most clubs fans know & manage expectation. Us? Think we should be challenging.
In reality, we have City, RS, Chelsea, a bad UTD team, West Ham, a bad Arsenal & Spurs, Leics & probably Brighton & Wolves that are better than us. That puts us @ 11th. Years of crap recruitment, players on big wages that arent good enough, together with a bad injury crisis has left us down to the bare bones. And some want the manager out? Who would we get that can have that team performing? One of the most decorated managers in the game had us 10th & the vast majority backed him to come good. Manage expectations, get behind the team. This atmosphere isn’t doing anyone any good.
 
Its a real dead feeling with Everton now.
You live in hope but before kick off with wolves last night my main feeling was dont embarrass us. That cant be right. You shouldnt be going into games hoping you aint going to get leathered. Esp against a team like wolves.
Of course. 30 mins in Everton had sucked every bit of life out of you. Watching players like alex iwobi playing for Everton has me more or less finished.
There's not much left in the tank now.

Ditto, I'm quite ashamed that I generally don't care anymore, but I can't help it.

We have been a complete non entity for nigh on 30 years. They are lucky anybody gets behind them at all.

If they want a good atmosphere then maybe they should actually think about the fans instead of making ridiculous appointments etc.

Bit of a chicken and egg thing really isn't it? The atmosphere will not improve unless we look like we are doing anything apart from merely existing but we wont look like improving if the atmosphere is not there.

Expectations are exactly where they should be. People expect us to mess things up, people expect the team to let us down time and time again. I would say expectations are pretty much accurate.

There are teams in much, much worse positions than us, however supporting us is incredibly tedious right now. Every single banana skin we see coming a mile off yet still slip on it.

Thats true about 30 years. But even within those 30 years i felt some connection. I felt we went into games with some fight. And im even throwing in players like lee carsley. Marcus bent. Even kevin kilbane ffs. Thats along with your cahills, ferguson, baines. Loads more. I never felt the team had thrown it in even before the kick off.
I cant relate to any of this lot. Digne looks half arsed so many times. Iwobi. Forget that. Biggest fraud this clubs ever bought. Michael kean. I swear he apologies to centre forwards.
I feel zero connection to any players for the past 5/6 years.
Its difficult to put your finger on it. I think koeman started it. Atrocious manager who put no thought into signings. He created a club for players to earn big money here for no input. We also have brands. Who i think is not only nicking a living but doing some serious damage.
The club is rotten right now.
 
We are truly looking down the barrel of yet another totally empty season,hate myself going on like this and someone please tell me to STFU,but what is there to look forward to?FA Cup draw were we go through at home against some League two team before drawing city away and total capitulation?lucky old us eh?!!

I've always thought your posts were pretty good, so I'm just going to tell you to STFU 'cause you asked me to; can't pass up the free opportunity.

STFU!
