But a lot of the people who are angry etc just aren’t going to the match. But they then sell their seat on stub hub meaning the grounds still full, but with more people who are still willing to pay to go. It’s understandable selling the ticket as they aren’t cheap, just makes it looks like people are happy.

Just that there is a difference between supporting the team and hating the manager.

Because he knows how much he is despised by our fans and talking about next season will wind us up....This fella hates us as much as we hate him. He cant deal with the fact that we don't want him near the club.
He knows exactly what he's doing, if he was going to be here next season he would take great pleasure in telling us straight "I have been assured that i will be Everton Manager next season" he has never said that...

He doesn`t hate us mate, we`re just another set of fans, that he`s had off, same as nearly every club that he`s been to.

Where have I said I am happy with finishing 8th mate?

I have not said that once yet you have mentioned it twice? That's kind of weird.

It is typical of our fanbase these days. Oversell the club and you get slated, undersell the club and you get slated. Be randomly linked with the club and you get slated. It is turning into a proper poisoned chalice of a job.

We seem to be getting a lot of this lately don't we? Over reactionary people. Because you (wrongly) assume that I am backing Allardyce you kick off and tell me to go and support another club? What is that all about?

Just to clarify for future use:

I was a big Martinez fan until the very end.
I never wanted Allardyce.
I do not want Allardyce going forwards.
I do find the stick that Allardyce gets to be slightly unfair and very unbecoming of a club like ours.
I disliked Moyes for the same reasons as some dislike Allardyce (underselling us, knife to a gun fight etc).

So yeah I am happy to get questioned over Martinez or my dislike of Moyes but I am getting a bit sick of having to defend myself over Allardyce purely because I am quite reasoned in my opinions and am not quite ready to burn effigies of him just yet and people just wade in because my fume level is not quite at 100%

My favourite thing is to point out these things to friends and family when they make this error, I seem to have spent an increasing number of Christmas', birthdays and other special occasions on my own recently.

I fully sympathise with you plight, as my family are mad too and it`s generally best to avoid social gatherings if at all possible.

I`m starting to have dark thoughts about this coming Christmas, despite it being over seven months away.

With the Allardyce hate mob you're either 110% in it or a Sam loving fool who needs to be hounded out from expressing any opinions that aren't filled with personal insults or over the top views on him.

So you’re happy with finishing 8th season after season??

And I think you’ll find we’ve never been promised Champions League football. There’s a difference between promising and looking to challenge for it. And in Martinez’s first season he lived up to his word as we narrowly missed out.

Aiming to maintain 8th is an absolute disgrace and if you’re happy with that then you need to have a word with yourself or go and support Burnley or Watford.

Some of our fan base are a joke.

Happier than being in the bottom three,which regardless of what some people might post, was a possibility.

Try not to worry about it mate. I don’t. I never even think that I’ve got another 235 days of happiness left...

What abuse and banners?,i saw one banner at the newcastle game and the abuse was coming from the away fans,if his future is still unclear atm i really hope we get proper tonked tomorrow and then maybe the board might pull the trigger.

Our away fans are apparently fairly vocal about it (mentioned a few times by the commentary team against Huddersfield as well as just general media acknowledgement) And there’s been more than one banner about, but I do get your point that it doesn’t come across like lots. However the quietness speaks volumes as well.
