2021/22 Rafael Benitez

What do you class as the "cult"?

Anyone against benitez?

Blues that don't go the match so aren't "real blues"?

Anyone that disagrees with you?

As some other posters seems to refer to it in nearly all of their posts as an insult to others.

Just people who have decided to not accept benitez no matter what he does for us.

Simples.

There are very few of them and even fewer that actually post on here though. Most have said that if he achieves certain things they will come round to him. As I said, if he gets top 10, I'll accept him more.

But I get accused of being the "cult" for that. Which is odd, because a cult is when people have a devotion to someone/something, so really, the cult is those who have their heads up his backside.

Yeah against Watford 5 years ago.

I’m not being a weirdo or any more than usual but when were we down at halftime and beat Watford ? I’ve just tried to find it , I’m a bit ocd about Everton facts if I don’t know the answer and I know we came back to beat them in that 3-2 game but wasn’t that 0-0 at HT ?

There is atleast 68 of them. I did a poll on this very site. A small sect. Hence the term cult.

Thank you for playing GrandOldTeam.com ... you've lost.

A threatening middle finger? It's an emoji. Finding that threatening is almost as embarrassing as your illogical stance.

I find it threatening, bordering on sinister if my Mrs adds a smiley on the end of a whatsap to me.

I think we pulled it back 2-2 before half time. I see what you mean. I dono a few major outlets reported we haven't come back to win in 5 years. Maybe its not that game.

Wow, a poll, really?

A poll with closed answers not allowing for variation in saying their minds would change if he did certain things. Amazing. Must be 100% accurate then.

68 said no, 69 said yes because no other choice, and 52 went for c 'n t, overwhelming backing there. Over a third don't back him. Small minority......

Is that 5 year thing right ? Heard it yesterday but in my defence I was smashed

Almost 6 years would you believe. Last time was against West Brom in September 2015 when Martinez was still in charge.

I can't claim to have been one of the blues fans loudly backing their team on Saturday because I was not there. Health circumstances might mean I cannot go for a long time to come so I have joined the non match going group of GOT posters. I am curious to know if we are a majority on GOT, or do most GOT members go to the games? I am even more curious to know if any of the small so-called cult" folks go to the games?

I can push the straws towards you if you'd like.

Was defo 2-2 at half time. Only remember cos I was picking my mum up from the airport and I assumed my app had sent me the same Mina notification twice, didn’t occur to me that he may have scored twice in a minute!

I read or heard recently that only circa 5% of the population has a twitter account, which bearing in mind the attention that platform attracts, is a bit weird.

Extrapolate that onto a football forum, discount the overseas posters, and I would guess that regular, as in home and aways, match goers is probably 300/500 posters. Including lurkers.
