Fans in general

He's just another edge-master twitter jester....
'only joking, mate hahaha'

Steer clear of twitter

A total myth.

The Goodison crowd is as toxic as its supportive.

Not according to Declan Rice and many before him....said our crowd was the best atmosphere hes ever played in.

When it supports the team, its great, but please dont tell me it doesnt spend the majority of its time slagging off our own players and creating a toxic atmosphere for everybody on the pitch.

Once he was here fans needed to be disciplined and accept his presence. Many weren't, though, and they acted like a rabble determined to be proven right - at the expense of this club as it's turned out.

We look like falling into the abyss and that ^^^^ is a big dimension of this....but well done them for "getting the FSW out"....at least they'll have that to comfort them as the rest of us rummage among the debris of Everton's top flight status.

Your always blaming someone else....hmmm sounds familiar trait that.

Our 'fans' have been through the mill since 98. False dawns, seeing others do well, consistently. The 'good times' of occassional passport use and the odd Wembley visit (cheers Bill ????) The influx of money 'spaffed up the wall', stadiums a go-go, Wyness, Pip Green, Samuelson, Gravy-boy, El Gordo...jeez we've lived some absolute gash.
In the past when times got tough, we pulled the team and the club through. Not sure if we have the fight left in us to do it again. There's a resignation, or acceptance, that 'it was going to happen some day' and we'll have to look to where it went bad. There's many possible 'things' to point out, but there is one constant through all of this.
A shyster, snake oil salesman, who divided this support and it never healed. We've never been a united support since DK, and fractured further so many times since.
We really need a new identity. We have to stop being 'Bill's Everton'.

All the players have to do is try....every player at every club gets stick if they don't try or are sh1t.

We just have a lot more than everyone else.

 

[magicjuan]

There would defo be a few thousand. They're not Evertonians as far I'm concerned like.

And the reverse, a smaller amount who backed him are considered 'not Evertonians' too. And that is the absolute crux. We were already fragile so appointing someone so divisive was doomed from day one, crossing your fingers and hoping it would work wasn't an option. Most of the anger was focused on him but because he was a focal point, the board were the real target for creating that situation.
Unity was what we needed. It wasn't him and he played on that. His vanity and ego, never mind his jurassic attitude, cut an artery in this club and left us losing blood rapidly.
But then again, maybe, I'm not an Evertonian either because I think you're patently wrong.

Hello very much

I’ve never been one to blame the fans for us being currently crap, and certainly not those in the ground.

I’ve always been sympathetic to those who boo at the end of a half.

However I can’t help but thinking this sort of stuff really doesn’t help anyone’s frame of mind;



I mean, he says he’s joking once pulled up but when I said a few weeks ago that once a manager loses his 100% record he’s done for I think I was closer to the bone than even I thought.

We have become the poisoned chalice we always feared and I can’t help think it’s in part down to this.

Humans are deeply flawed in that we want to feel superior to one another. You get people making outlandish statements like this because they want to he seen as the first to identify the problem. They want to be seen as a football scholar with a deeper understanding than the next person, sounding the alarm like a sailor sat in a crow’s nest on top of the battered old ship that is the Everton fan base.

It’s almost as if they’re placing bets, only they’re not playing for money, just respect, recognition and admiration.

This is the world we live in these days, social media and video games have ruined people’s sense of patience

And every idiot has a voice

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Social media. Has its benefits. I'm on here now giving my opinion. But overall and taking everything into consideration it will have drastic consequences for mankind.?. I'm laughing but also serious. Wait until the human rating kicks in and the idiots jump on that. Anything for likes and notice.

In relation to evertonians. We are frustrated. It's been horrible and our football club has been run disgracefully. Moshiri in particular and kenwright are to blame. Completely mad decisions and allowing even madder decisions. Koeman signing 3 number 10s was a eye opener for me. There was mad decisions from top to bottom. Contract extensions, manager ssackings, poor recruitment. And it drains into the fans. Then online. And online has turned into a complete joke esp twitter.
We really need to support the team for 90 mins on sat at goodison. Who cares what happens on twitter. Goodison has really lost its edge in bearpit terms over last 5 years. It needs it sunday and thursday. More than ever. More than Coventry and more than Wimbledon. This team is full of modern soft players who need extra motivation. Hopefully they get it. Real life. Not online.
Then Come the summer we need to move alot of them on. Decision makers and players.They are not for this club.

Heard it all now: not an Evertonian for backing the Everton manager while others are Evertonians for wanting him out and for Everton to get beat in order to satisfy that desire for his expulsion.

I think I just slipped down a rabbit hole reading your post.

There’s truth in this, the shouters shout due to feelings of insecurity, inadequacy and not belonging.

But that's the point. Why does your opinion count agai st Evertonians wanting better for the club?
The rabbit hole is where you've been for some time.

To get to their "better" we had to see a manager unseated.

Let's not be all coy about this: there were huge numbers of supporters who wanted this club beaten each week in order that Benitez lost his job. That had an effect on the whole organisation. We lost a lot of games because there was no cohesion in the club between fans manager and players. That's a funny way of wanting better.

It was an indulgence that's led us directly to this point where we've left it too late and we're dancing on the trap door with 3 other clubs and hoping the other three fall through it before we do.

That vocal and physical opposition to Benitez has done us untold damage. It might just have cost us our PL place.

They're not fans.
