the last time it felt good to be an Everton supporter

[Peter The Dog]

everything is so depressing right now. i was trying to think about the last time i genuinely felt good and confident about the club.

it's all gone downhill since this.

1995, 1984-87, 1969-70. Otherwise misery

After we spanked Leeds in Lampards first home league game I thought we’d turned a corner
Last time I genuinely felt excited was spirit of the blues time when James was doing bits every game

When Moyes was here.
Everything was earned. Players "wanted" it. Everyone left it on the pitch.

Last season, well, up to Christmas anyway.

The last time I genuinely enjoyed being an Evertonian was probably Martinez's first season. There was a feel good factor around the club... an air of change which was exciting. Since then it's just gone from bad to worse.
The club today is unrecognisable to the one we were then

I got a lovely pie at the ground once.

20th May 1995.

Greatest day ever.

Every time the season ends.

When we appointed Carlo…

Showing me that there’s no fool like and old fool!

Probably Roberto's first season. It was the only one where we were consistently good since, arguably, we won the championship in 1987. The day we beat Arsenal 3-0 seemed to be the day we had truly arrived. And then we followed up with a preposterously stupid home capitulation to Crystal Palace, with John Stones proving himself an indulgent liability.

We've had the odd moment since then, of course, but the last time we had a continued run of feelgood form was Roberto's first season. Deulofeu, Lukaku, Barkley all playing well. Mirallas not being a self-entitled imbecile. It couldn't last, of course.

Prior to that, you'd have to say the year we qualified for the CL play-offs. We were great at grinding out tight wins that season - even if the football was agricultural.

Joe Royle had a good 18 months as well.

Prior to that, you've got to go back to Howard's glory years.

Generally, we've been nondescript, mediocre, or downright atrocious.

The glorious 80s. I was only junior school age when the trophies were rolling in but honoured to have been around to witness such an era. Younger fans will sadly never experience that.

The Moyes years were decent but pale into total insignificance in comparison to 84-87.
