2018/19 Leighton Baines

[canuckblue]

Antonee Robinson, the lad who was on loan at Bolton last season

Thanks. Why the nickname?

 

[BlueStevie35]

Thanks. Why the nickname?

Star wars fan, picked it himself when his dad started coaching him aged 5

 

[Pseudonym]

Thanks. Why the nickname?

Because his father played a Jedi in the Star Wars prequels, although he didn't have any dialogue, just kinda dossed abar in the background....

Ha Ha. Dean Windas a legend. Thanks, you've just made my point for me.

Ask any hull city fan. Club legend. Dean Windass. Stop being fascisious in order to squirm from being schooled on principles which totally highlight the fundimental flaws in your sweeping (and inaccurate) statements.

Won't have a bad word said about Baines. Stayed when it was possible for him to leave, it was probably a wrong career move to be honest. A nice guy but too nice as times. That time he let Mirallas take the penalty was case in point.

Himself and Pienaar were an absolute joy to watch.

 

[brigadier]

Be amazed if he loses his place for more than 4 games.

Wowzer

It depends what you call a legend. “Modern day legends” as they say you’d go Baines, Cahill, Ferguson maybe.

But compare them to Southall, Kendall, Ratcliffe, Sheedy, West etc. who’ve won multiple league titles and other trophies it’s a no contest.

I’m not knocking every player who’s played for us since 1995. But I think the word legend is overused these days, certainly by the the media. One TV programme had “Everton legend Phil Neville” on the other week.

That TV programme should be prosecuted under the Trades Description Act.

Wowzer

Should I have used flippant? Same same. I think the mockery of dean windass and hull city is tantamount to what other more successful clubs fans do to our players. Do we like it when they do it to us? No. So why is it alright to do it to them? This was only done to belittle a point which was instrumental in highlighting the fundemental flaw in the previous statements.

So let me get this straight, last season we had baines and no other left back, now that we have bough a left back to take/compete with baines some people want baines out the door. It would be much more beneficial for Robinson to be playing every week and improving his craft than sitting on bench in PL and only getting cup games. Baines contract is out in the summer. No reason for him to go anywhere.

 

[Bluewolf]

Dear me. There's been worse Brazilian teams at the last WC for one.

Dont be so churlish. He masterminded a win over the Samba Boys - a favourite for the WC.

Is that the Brazil side that came 4th in the tournament?

Yeah okay

 

[Bluewolf]

...then why didn't he do exactly that?

Because he's loyal to the club, like the rest of us evertonions. Not just a manager...

You are wasting your time.

Baines isn't a legend, come on now.

Good player for us in the main. I like my legends to be rare though. If Baines is one then so are loads who have played for us.

He's been a fantastic servant and let's not forget at his peak was one of the most productive defenders in europe going forward, in a side that won absolutely nothing.

Could have left, wanted to stay, so in some people's eyes,that qualifies him as a legend.

In a period of the clubs history where we haven't actually won anything for nearly 25 years, what other criteria do we deem fit for qualification?
