Ill give you a clue,i was born 2 miles away from Goodison. And Pat Van den HAUWE(Psycho) was my favourite player.
Ok fair play, I thought you might have been a lad I know from Stockton whos the biggest footy fan I know. He follows Everton every home and away game all over the world, Everton are his life. Im just suprised you know Stockton, its a sh!thole. As I said I had strong feelings for Everton as a kid but your fans ruined that for me!
Oh my God. A bindipper having the nerve to throw stones. Cattermole was again top class for us today. Now who did you have in MF? Oh yeah Barry who should have been sent off for a horrendous tackle on Graham. (Linesman looking straight at it!) Oh and Barry who should have been sent off for a horrendous tackle on Aluko. (Referee actually saw it and only yellow carded.) Do you know the Barry I'm talking about? He was the one cheated for your first goal. Now **** off back into the shadow of your Red neighbours, you know the ones with the other piece of **** playing for them in Suarez. The difference between Suarez and Barry? Suarez can play football when he wants to.
To be honest mate Boro are pretty far down my list. Everton now, I have no time for. Bunch of sadsack supporters with a team fighting above their weight for years through more good luck than good play. Couple of good players carrying a boatload of water carriers.
Honestly lol,is it not better to punch above your weight than to be relegation fodder-relegated-promoted and then relegation fodder over and over again? Your team has no heart,skill or expectations other than to survive to play with the big boys. Your club has spent countless millions on dross,and you are further behind than you have ever been( thats saying a lot considering you have never remotely threatened to accomplish anything other than to survive relegation).So before you even attempt to slag my team off you should ask your self a few questions: 1)Where in the table would you rather be year after year? 2) why does my club go through manager after manager yet we get nowhere everytime? 2) Name one player that you could honestly say is top class(and by that i mean top class at a domestic or international level-not a Sunderland level) 3) Why are you bottom of the table having not yet one game in the PL this season? 4) What top class youth player/s has your so-called infamous youth academy produced? 5) If my club is so lucky and **** why do we systematically(apart from one game last year) destroy your team every single time we play you? 6) Why does your club have zero winning history yet Everton has lots? So next time gents look a little closer to home and get back to me when you can come up something a little better than" Their fans are scum" and "they are lucky and punch above their weight"
I'm not saying one player does make you lose 4- 0 pal. I'm saying playing with only ten men on the pitch every game like we do when Larsson plays doesn't help though. It puts us at a disadvantage from the first whistle. You want to keep blowing smoke up Sebs arse more power to your lungs. DeGusmans goal was one hell of a good finish, if Larsson had put in one tiny eeny weeny bit of effort to actually go to the ball or block it stopping the ball being passed to DeGusman, he wouldn't have had the ball to score. He actually turned and watched the rest of the play as the ball went past him. Gardner who I have a lot of time for was nearly as bad as Larsson today. I would have stuck Colback in for either of them. Poyet took off a player who was doing a job harrying the Swans in Giac, and left those two on. By the way JOS has invented a new game called shinball, I wonder if it will catch on?
You still here ****ehawk? Can I just say on behalf of my fellow Mackem's, thank you for using so many of your first 39 posts on our board. We feel honoured and blessed to have you deign to come to our lowly board and invest us with your outstanding football knowledge and wit. 1/ 10th would do. 2/ Coz we keep hiring **** ones. Had to edit post as dumbfuck can't count. Strange you'd have thought they would be good at adding 2 and 2 as that is the total of hubcaps they usually go for. 2 mark 2 / Cattermole. 3/ Because of overpaid supposedly professional senior football players making schoolboy mistakes. 4/ Jordan Henderson plays for the best team in Liverpool and England under 21s. 5/ Now I know you're not very bright. The referee playing for you in loads of games helped. 6/ Yeah we won **** all us. So next time before coming onto another teams board to give them the benefit of your wisdom and deride one of their players, take a look closer to home at Barry you ****ing dickhead. You do get points for NOT trying to defend the indefensible mind!
The guy has a point man, Can,t say that Catts has much in the skill draw can we? And if he is star man it makes the rest look very poor
You may not be able to say Catts has skill. But I can! Football isn't all about Ronaldo's and Messi's ffs! Breaking up play is a skill. Being able to tackle well is a skill. Passing and moving is a skill. Reading the opposition is a skill. Organising people around you is a skill. Positional sense is a skill. Having the balls for a fight may not be a skill but **** me he has some big knackers, literally and on the pitch alongside him. Case in point Catts wins ball our half, goes past two oppos and looks up. (How did he get past those two with no skill?) Now for any of our other defenders we would expect the hoof ball right? What Catts actually did was play a hell of a pass straight through the oppos along the floor straight to Altidores feet. Altidore had a player behind him as the ball was coming straight as an arrow to him. Was it Catts lack of skill made Altidore focus on the oppo and forget the ball and actually moved out of the direction of the ball to lean into the player? Me I was fuming, those are the sort of balls Catts delivers regularly and is either let down by lack of effort or lack of nous in front of him. The last few matches he has chipped excellent balls over defenders where even mediocre teams would have had someone running onto. Us? Nope, players turning round as if to say **** that I'm not running for the ball. It's like a contagion in our team as soon as one doesn't make an expected run the rest say **** it I'm not running unless I get the ball passed to my feet. Sometimes running off the ball can be just as effective as running with it. Arsenal proved that yesterday, with so many runners off the ball it had the defenders in knots.
Catts is miles better than his rep, talent-wise. I've always rated him on that score, it's his judgement that's let him down. However, he seems to be maturing now (fingers crossed), in which case he'll be a major asset for us.
I understand where you're coming from on the judgement bit mate. All players no matter who they are have brain farts, Previously he has had to do the work of two men in there. And quite a few times has took one for the team to stop the oppos breaking unchecked. I still believe he gets more bad press than good for bad decisions by officials. I wish I had a quid for every time one of his last ditch tackles (where he runs past some of our own players standing watching.) has saved us from conceding. If the officials can keep their bias under control and make decisions on what actually happens and not what they think MUST have happened, I can see him playing for England. (Well if we weren't Sunderland I could see him involved.)
