Just ashamed of some people claiming to be Evertonians, spoilt kids behave better.

Since the derby and despite results and where we are in a transitional season moaning is what it's become about both at the ground and on the forums.

Loyal supporters???? don't make me laugh, getting shown up by Utd tourists backing Moyes ffs.

Try taking the longer view and give Martinez and the blues a chance you spineless cretins.

I couldn't of said it better myself

We beat Newcastle , it's on and arsenal know it.

We havent won away since Swansea(exception Cheltenham), massive game
 
People need to chill. Swansea are on a terrible run and need points on the board, so yesterday was always going to be a tough game. When you consider how dominant they were against Napoli over both legs in the EL, I think it just highlights how good they are. Doing so well in that competition has somewhat falsified their league position.

Surprisingly, I think that we missed Pienaar to some extent yesterday (Let me explain!). I have castigated him over previous months, but as a team, I believe we retain possession better when he is on the field. However, the downside is, when he plays we seem to be much less clinical in front of goal. It's a bit of a catch-22 situation IMO.

Ah well, 3 pts again and we march on. Bring on the Barcode tits next!

Swans deserved a pt but there have been many a case in which we deserved a point or 3 and didn't get it. Yea despite us always winning its usually nerve-wracking because its often end to end. Loved watching them giving it a go. Of teams below Spuds only Hull really took it to us at Goodison. My favorite match of the season was Everton-Hull. We were on a insane hot streak and Hull came in, brought their A game and came at us while we raised our game to pull out a tough win.

totally agree mate - swansea have been the best team at goodison this season, before yesterday it was hull imo. chelsea weren't exactly crap either, as far as i remember that was one of the only games we won and possibly a draw would have been fairer. it should be an incentive to come and try something against us, because west ham and cardiff tried it and eventually buckled under the pressure of defending non-stop. we'll find a way eventually against them, but teams like hull and swansea have caused us quite a few problems and both unlucky to come away with defeats imo - but then again - it was a defeat.

it wasn't shocking. we were nowhere near our best, but we were clinical, which is what we've all been crying out for this season. i thought our attacking play was fine, we just defended really poorly. but it certainly wasn't a shocking performance, we weren't passing it woefully or anything, sometimes you can credit an opposition.

i'll never moan when the blues pick up 3 points.

It's clear that we're by far the greatest team, but for actual quality of football you can't really look past what Swansea did today.

Calm down lad, we had a day off yesterday, Swansea do not play better football than us, we have much more threat and much more quality.

Tbh mate I thought our passing and maybe more to the point our control was the worst I've seen this season.

On the other hand it's a good sign to win when we're not playing particularly well and I'm happy with that
 

The thing is to look back to the Sunderland game. We were all over them but what good did it do? In those days we were in trouble if we went a goal behind because we weren't putting our chances away. Now, losing a goal is less important as we are finding ways to score. It's becoming a habit, and a good one to have.
 
One of the more apathetic defensive efforts of the season. We gave them far too much time and space. But the three points are what matter most.

Seems Mirallas has become the new whipping boy.

Some of the moaning and groaning at GP yesterday was embarrassing. Lukaku was getting abuse from some ted in the Paddock for holding onto the ball trying to tee up a shot, fella stands up and gives him dogs abuse. Said to one of the lads "that pr1ck will be cheering his name in a minute", and sure enough he lays it off to Mirallas, receives the return and slots. Que kn0bhead sing "Rom-e, Romeluuu....".

If you want to know how not to coach football come sit in the Paddock and listen to some of the experts.....absolutely laughable...." smash it long", "speed it up....slow it down....smash it lad".

Absolutely. Was in the Lower Gwladys and some of the shouts from the arl fellas was embarrassing. Haven't got a clue.
