'Howard's Way' Film

FACT are showing the film this week
 

The fact is Dave, what we did in the 80s wasnt special.

We won a few Titles and a few cups, we didnt dominate Europe, for obvious reasons.

So in the grand scale of football, it honestly wasnt special.

For an Everton fan of course, thats a very, very different story.
You're being sarcastic here I presume.

Of course, he knows he is wrong, but it's a necessary stance to take when trying to look cool and zen.

I mean, he might actually believe that 2 League titles, an FA Cup, and a European trophy in 3 years, including a double I might add, as well as 3 times runners up at Wembley and runners up in the title race in the same period is not special.

He may also believe that circumstances around it mean nothing either. Where we were before and how an unfashionable team that noone believed could achieve anything, achieved everything.

Additionally, he may also believe that the things that went against us, both as a team and as a city (which was captured brilliantly by the recent BT documentary) do not tell the perfect tale of what might have been, even in the midst of our all conquering heyday.

How we, as only Everton seemingly can, grasped defeat from the Jaws of victory, both in those occasions we finished runners up and how we somehow managed to turn our most successful team ever into a shambles in a matter of years, all at the dawn of the new Premier League era that made the biggest teams global brands as the rest wallowed in their wake.

So yeah, he might genuinely believe all of this.

But the reality is, he is probably just trying to be cool.
 
It's worth saying that just before the team "clicked" Kendall was in serious danger of being sacked, he was getting grief from the fans, someone even painted his garage door with Kendall out.
We were sh1te until late on in 84 and then all of a sudden we were magic.
I live in hope that something will happen with this lot.
It all changed in late 83 not 84
After watching a 0-3 defeat away to Ipswich in September i wrote a 6 page letter to Howard telling him what was going wrong.
He listened and the rest is history...
 

Just finished watching this. Absolutely bloody fantastic. Thanks and congratulations to everyone involved in making it. It reminded me why I love Everton. No spoilers but any true Evertonian of any age will love it. But if you’re over 40 and you were there at the time, it’ll bring tears to your eyes.

I've heard this too.

Cant wait to see it now.

Huge thanks to @stumps1878 for getting me a copy too. Top lid.
