HAPPY FAT SAM DAY

[everton1953]

I like Big Sam. Where is he now? Cyprus maybe.

In fairness to the gravy chugging slug he made us hard to beat, got results and pulled us up the table. Which sadly is a lot more than some of our other recent managers.

As low as it's gotten post-Moyes

A beautiful day

Hello Darling xx

That's two more x and one more darling than I normally get - I suspect you aren't Mrs yarrgh. If you'd offered me one lump or two of polonium in my tea, the ruse would have been complete.

Why did Moshiri give him a massive transfer budget? Still unbelievable.

Moshiri doesn't know what he's doing...

Him pissing off Klopp was glorious in that 1-1 draw.

 

[Mildredblues]

He did what we paid him to do, get us out of the [Poor language removed]. We were in serious danger of relegation before he came in. I don't like his football but he did serve his purpose.
I remember Rooney getting a late penalty to get us a point at Anfield. Dogged backs to the wall stuff that you wouldn't want us to repeat every week but it felt good to get something from there at the time.

DCL won that pen I think.

Well I thought it was fantastic. Harmonised the forum against him, indirectly brought us a legion of new boss Turkish fans by signing Tosun, came up with tactical innovations like the 5-4-Bolassie away at mighty West Brom (seriously, punt it to a one legged Half fit maverick and see what dead end he hits), launched a thousand gravy, pie and chip puns, and generally laughed his way to the bank.

As others have said, halcyon times. Ffs.

Wasn’t there a Nobel prize winner amongst them?

In retrospect, that anti-Sam thread was brilliant.

He truly united us all against him. Was there anyone who was pro-lard face?

A couple, I think. But I'm not convinced they weren't chico / goat multis

Hahaaaaa, yeah. A potential nominee apparently. Again, I'm guessing a multi in that instance but top stuff. There was another one who told someone they had 'a bleeding vagina personality'.

8th place flattered him far too much, did absolutely no more than the bare minimum. Had a chance for Europe and bottled it, some utterly disgraceful displays in his time, knocked out the cup on first attempt, literally only finished 8th because everyone else around us was also crap.

Will never accept this fair play to him bollocks, spoke when he was hired about wanting to prove himself after finally been given a go at a bigger club and reverted to type almost immediately.

An odious man and a cowardly manager, no one deserves credit for not taking Everton down, we tried our absolute best in the 90s with infinitely worse teams and still couldn't quite get over the line.

A permanent stain on the club that he was ever our manager.
