We have behaved with dignity. We have not got every English club banned from Europe. We have welcomed foreign teams to Goodison and befriended them - Bayern in 85 an example. We have behaved on our travels abroad....however that shower has somehow managed to get the media to wipe its memory of all their atrocious behaviour over the years.
In 1989 I cried for the 92 - literally. It was a tragedy. Meanwhile Heysel seems to be forgotten.
But I agree - I don't get how we are treated so badly by media and officials
Super league perhaps? We seem to be party poopers?
Very good post mate. We are not all wanting to see you relegated - loads of us are supporting you from afar and wishing you all the best.
I think it might be because you are such an iconic football club with a rich and historically successful history - and also coz you’ve spu*nked such an unbelievably massive amount of money over the past few seasons probably equal to most of the current top 6 net spend.
But you are not alone plenty of us proper fans from down to earth community football clubs want you to do well but we are not out there on social media overtly giving a balanced perspective for you.
I have faith that you’ll just about scrape survival this season and then kick on next season somewhere between middle and bottom third whilst Frank reshapes your obvious unbalanced squad which don’t look easy especially with the elite clubs friend known as the perversely counter-intuitive name of Financial Fair Play (which is anything but).
It’s easy to support the illustrious serial winners, but what’s important is family traditions, what’s in your heart, and loyalty to the club you love. My lot never win anything but I love em unconditionally and would defend them with my life. We are what we are. Believe me, you have lots to be happy about!
If you do come down I honestly believe you just might enjoy a season in the Championship it’s a great league. Not perhaps from your current viewpoint but it’s competitive and fast and 2 games a week (and get this - usually play on a Saturday like the old days!)
Good luck for the rest of the season, keep the faith and cheer your team and manager to the rafters to give your team the very best chance of getting out of the sh*t. You’re cheering your shirt not the plonkers wearing them.
As for media not liking you and wallowing in your demise - welcome to our world! ? ?
