Is Goodison no longer a fortress?

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

City fans were great, couldn't hear ours!!!!!

Only once they had scored, but you could say the same about ours last weekend at Southampton. Fair play they sold their allocation this year. Something they haven't always done.

It's still a fortress, but now not feared as it's made out of weetabix

Lescott was actually brilliant at full back that season and I'd be amazed if you could find one example of Steve Watson playing up front under Moyes because that was Smith era.

Ah yeah my bad re Watson!

ridiculous knee jerk thread.

we get beat by the best team in the league at the moment and suddenly all the fannies come out the woodwork.

how sad.

Lock and burn please.

I'm not basing this thread off the City loss FFS.

Interestingly the Spanish for Fortress is Alcazar and we've not won a home game since we let Alcaraz leave...


Coincidence??





I think not!

Our home form has been dreadful throughout 2015.Most teams have left our place unbeaten this year, not just the big sides even garbage like Sunderland, West Brom, Leicester, Watford and West Ham(cup).
We are in for a long hard season if it continues
.Ah well only Chelsea up next.

Think yesterday was more the fact that they are just a fantastic team and we are still miles away from them in terms of competing.
However i do think we are also at a disadvantage against smaller teams because we seem to have forgotten how to break down teams that have just come for a point also the negative crowd can't help. A fella behind me calls them all names under the sun just for minor errors and obviously others are the same, makes you wonder why they bother if all they want to do is shout abuse.

Coincidence if you're dyslexic perhaps mate?

More of a creche than a fortress based on results for over a year now.

Luckily, the media keeps calling it a fortress to lull the home fans into a false sense of security.

Goodison Park, look around at the fans next game, I noticed yesterday most were just sat there waiting to lose !!

 

[Moomin]

Goodison is a place broken hearts go.

 

[wbn61]

got too much time on my hands sorry.
best unbeaten run at home jan 12 - dec 14 2013 17 games (premier league).

prior to that sep 16 1961 - aug 24 1963 39 games.

I think that digging a moat and installing drawbridges will make Goodison feel like a fortress once more.

Without the anti-dart semi-circles behind the goals it's lost some of the implied danger it once had.

I consider myself one of the most pessimistic people put on this horrendous little planet we have to suffer with, but even reading GOT sometimes makes me want to pop to B&Q's, get a rope and just end it all.

Goodison Park, when the fans are up for it, is one of the best places to be on earth - win or lose.

But what you have to understand is the mentality of most of our fans.

Our fans have had to put up with 30 years of mediocrity, and the fact that our club craps out propaganda we're all lucky to have been "chosen" and to still believe that we're still a "big club" on an inter/national level doesn't really help either.

Moyes was our manager for 11 years, and he built something - I'm not sure what it was, but it was solid and competitive.

We're now seeing a period of transition, the mentality is different and this requires time.
