We talked about Liverpool and you think they win the league and Leicester and Utd in 3rd and 4th, we talked about City and we talked about Chelsea and we havnt talked about Tottenham yet. Gabby A interrupts and Everton who are 2nd
Stay under the radar and keep picking up results and see where we are by March

If we're top four by the end of January, we'll be included in top four talk. Evertonians have a terrible tendency to get carried away on a good or bad run. We're the worst team in the league when we lose three, and we're CL contenders when we hang on at Sheffield United. Anthony Gordon is the new Wayne Rooney when he's out of the team, and Glen Keeley when he gets his place.
Sky, and the rest of the media, dismiss us because we've never been anything more than a flash in the pan in the PL era. We don't do consistency. We've never been set up for it. That may be changing now, though, but it will take time to feed through to the media. Staying in the top six between now and May and following up with a big summer window will go a long way to changing our profile.

i don’t the media overall are biased towards us but Sky I believe really do
Just a glorified LFCTV channel and one of the reasons why I refuse to buy any of their channels

I understand what your saying and I agree, it would be nice to get a bit of credit now and again, not even that today, it was more that today though, it’s as if we don’t even exist, going on about the RS going 7 points clear and City are 2nd. Terrible Journalism

Afraid we will have to win or attain Champion league to get the wider appeal... The football media just respond to their identified market. Always remember when Sky/BSB phoned me up trying to sell their sports package, kept telling the lad, its Everton I support, he just kept listing the coverage of the Manure and Chelski etc. He could just not accept that I would not watch a match with Everton not playing.

Kenny is far more fitter & agile than Bale who is practically finished...

It's Sky, expect no more. To them, we don't exist. While we, as fans, have always seen the club as one of the aristocrats of the game, the truth is we've been in a coma since 1988, with a very brief resuscitation in 1995 before a return to the crypt where the bones of Sir John Moores were laid to rest. The media, in general, even the so-called high-brow fringe (the Jonathan Wilsons of the world) were sneering at us singing James and laughed off the idea of us snaring Carlo, but that's not dislike of us. It's simply a reflection that these moves by the club are completely out of character with the Bill Kenwright years, and they don't believe them until they see them. Furthermore, they seem them as "gambles" rather than as part of a long-term strategy. Kenwright did terrible, corrosive damage to our standing in the game, presenting us as former millionaires who had now become paupers. Paupers don't contend for titles or the CL places, in general, so the media narrative is generally correct about us, but is now a few years out of date.

Only we can change that. Just got to keep going and try to finish top 4
The British media are very poor outside a few quality reporters. The sport media is particularly poor. I don’t believe there is a bias against us but there is a bias in favour of the top six teams, by this I mean those teams who regularly occupy those positions. The “pundits”, and I use that description in loosest terms, know they play to the gallery when they lavish praise on them.
The bias in favour of the top six is a result of the lack of ability and laziness on behalf of the commentators, they sit back take the fees and don’t put in the effort to get a well rounded view of what is happening.
As for the effects this has on results I doubt anyone gives much weight to what the likes of what Murphy, Sutton, or Neville say.
I am very lucky, Mrs C isn’t a sports fan, while she is happy to sit through a game of football she absolutely refuses to tolerate “the talking bit”. Wise woman Mrs C, I commend her approach to everyone.
