different era David, I would say the majority of match-going Evertonians these days are split into 2 fairly distinct generations, the older ones who have been browbeaten into submission by the antics of a club that has continuously failed its loyal support, and the young ones for whom this is all they have known, there is no passion in the ground at home games, and there is an acceptance that this is what we are these days, we are finished as a competitor in English football, the only objective is to stay in the premier league, relegation may be the only thing that finally gets rid of Kenwright and his circus, he is desperate to be remembered as the chairman who took us to Bramley Moore, he may well be remembered for the relegation he took us to if not this season then certainly next.
There is no fight left in the fans, the players are the collectively the worst I have ever seen and certainly the most spineless, the most pointless club in the league, the sooner it is over the better.
