I think it was your criticism of Moyes, which, allied to your criticism of Koeman, might lead one to think supporting Everton might not be the easiest choice you could make.

Criticising managers - not exactly unheard of like is it?

It got your notice. Ive asked this question quite a few times but you dont seem to want to answer the question.

Why do I support Everton? Erm, because I come from 4 generations of blues and I've been a blue since birth and the club is part of my identity and will remain so even though the various clowns who run the organisation drive me bananas.

Will that suffice in satisfying your curiosity?

Tbh mate, dont think you would be happy whoever would be running the club and who was on the pitch wearing the shirt.

I was happy enough winning cups.

Here's to those days returning very soon. I'm sure they will under Mr Koeman...

More chance of winning something with him than Mr Martinez

it seems to me he has never been the same player since Chelsea were in for him and he was thrust under the spotlight, before then he was quietly class, as soon as he was noticed he couldn't handle the pressure. I do take some satisfaction when I see him making mistakes as the Evertonian in me wants him to regret ever wanting to leave our great club. I do think he'll come good in the end, just not as good as we thought he could be pre Chelsea bids.

I hope so. Mind you, he hasn't won anything for ten years.

He should've gone to Chelsea then. Imagine a year or two of tutelage under Terry. He'd be superb by now.

Same could be for if he were a year or two into Koeman's reign?

I guess we will never know. Mind you, I still think he will eventually become very good.

The suggestion is that Stones needs a proper defender alongside him, to allow him to swan around like a fancy sod. A partnership with Terry might've taught him a few things about defending, and a fair amount of snide too.

Could do with it, those tattoos don't fool me, like Walcott, they both look like public schoolboys whose chums have drawn on them when they fell asleep after too many pomegranate Martinis.
