54 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Quote Last season, Everton beat Liverpool at Anfield in a 2-0 win. Lampard discusses what it will take to repeat last season's win. "You can't always control the result. This game brings a different energy to it. I expect passion, fight and desire. There's not a game plan in the world that will work without that." That is such a weird statement to be making Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s exactly what is happening here with Everton and that’s fine. That’s football. A bit like how we all enjoy Man Utd failing, or the potential for Chelsea to go bust.

Kimbo Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 As much as I think it would be funny if Everton went down, it would be embarrassing to see SJP celebrating it with pre-prepared banners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm well aware of the entertainment at a "big" club going down btw so I do get it - just found a few comments odd as though we've enjoyed some sort of grand success in the last decade. Like Ian said there's an odd amount of dislike between the 2 clubs to say there's not really any history there. This has been a long time coming anyway, whatever happens we deserve to go down and it is going to fuck us hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 For the record i don't hate Everton mainly cos very good mate is big everton fan so always discussing stuff. He has been convinced they are going down for a while and I have always been naaaah sure you're better than 3 teams but alas now having to concede looking kinda dire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 It’s mainly just fun seeing a big club go down. Like with Leeds. We couldn’t enjoy Villa because we went down with them but seeing Everton drop would be funny. They’ll be fine anyway, they’d piss promotion like we did both times.

To be fair Neil, you are sound and I'm sure you are more representative of your club than the dickheads who I seem to come across. I want Everton to go down because of this daft relationship with Sunderland and the online abuse our fans seem to trade. If I was to remove emotion out of it, it would be sad to see such a historic club drop but I don't particularly remember much sympathy coming our way. Has Moshiri completely fucked Everton or is it a combination of things? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 In short, all the dots can be connected to him. The decision making abilities and foresight of Michael Scott. Countless shite appointments, the worst recruitment in the known galaxy and woeful individual underperformances. A dazzling combination. And yeah I know - certainly not expecting sympathy, we deserve plenty of shit. It'll help to add a small amount of comic relief to the ongoing shitshow.

Kid Icarus Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 If it's any consolation, if you do go down, I think you'll be immediately taken aback by how poor the standard is down there. Michael Keane would get 2 free goes before any mistakes were punished, and I'd still bank on even Rondon being very a useful Championship striker.

I'm sure someone said earlier about it starting around the time we signed Emre, Parker and I think Duff, apparently beating Everton to each of them. The atmosphere from Everton certainly became worse about then. And your post could easily have been written by an NUFC fan before our relegations.
