Everton That

Signing Gazza, Ginola, Sparky, Etoo, Rooney and others years after they might have been able to help us actually achieve something on the pitch.

Letting Moyes go to United and giving him an ovation for doing so.

Having signed the twenty stone Espen Baardsen for some unknown reason and then having an injury crisis actually have to use him. We dove over three balls at Spuds and the Euro charge falls short by three points.

Bringing the Dome back for the third time.

Selling Alan Ball to Arsenal on the basis he was finished; they went on to win the double.

The list could go on, I cannot.

Alan Ball never won any honours at Arsenal.

You're quite right, I meant to write "Selling Alan Ball to Arsenal on the basis he was finished; who were coming off winning the double".

Alex Nyarko at Highbury and the fan who wanted to swap shirts. Everton that.

Selling Naismith because we were too good for him, then him dumping us out the cup at home, and our fans giving him an ovation for it.

Peak Everton that.
 
Always smile when I think back to our bidding £12m for shearer when the price was £15m and Man U Newcastle and Barca were hot on his trail. Set the tone for a litany of fake bids, pondering and mulling over targets that followed the next 20 years. Definitely Everton that
 

In truth, nothing could top 1986 for me, we literally handed the [Poor language removed] the double, wrapped it up nice and wrote Swalk on the card. Something genuinely broke inside me that day walking out of Wembley with the mutants singing and laughing their heads off. Nothing Everton-wise has ever hurt so much since and I very much doubt anything ever will.

I was a kid, and it was the first time that football had been that cruel. I remember us winning there in February and thinking that we had the wind at our backs and couldn't be caught. (The Linkeker Ratcliffe 2-0 win there was our fifth straight in the league and Liverpool had picked up a single point in their previous three when we turned them over)

I didn't think anything could be crueler, luckily only a few weeks later we all had the hand of god to make us feel worse. The year that could have been, 1986.

I think if we scored a second goal in that cup final, then that would have finished off the rs. Up until when they scored, we were the better team. Then there was that Oxford game, which cost us the title! Everton should have won at least one trophy that year. But we ended up with nothing, and the team had to share an open top bus with the rs players, for their victory procession around the city! Still though i'd imagine it made 1987 all the sweeter.
 
Getting done over in Villarreal by the supposedly best ref in the world and not qualifying for Champions league proper.....then getting battered 5-0 away in the Europa League by some Romanian team.

Everton that
 

The biggest ‘Everton that’ moment, is signing a player blessed with amazing skill and technical and finding out he can only play 100 mins a month if he feels like he’s in the mood.
I hope Columbia get beat every game and go out at the earliest opportunity.

Me too, especially having been in the deep end in the February,coming out of there laughing at them and how bad they were.
 
My first derby 1973,Mick Lyons "scores",Goodison erupts, the "goal" is mysteriously ruled out,Kopite journeyman Waddle replacing Toshack on the day breaks clear looked suspiciously offside,as he attempts a shot it bobbles, he"shins" his effort, it slowly trundles past the stranded Lawson,hits the post bounces across the goal line and may well have hit the other post and in, we lost 1-0(n)
