Everton game

[MJG]

Considering what I watched today for the first time this season I'm looking upwards lge wise.
If..and I know a big if when u look at our record there...we can win at everton and over take them and with Bolton and blackpool at home we could be in a good position with a few games to go.
All season I have been worried by us drawing so many and we r not out of yet, but after the 3 pts today and the two we picked up against chelsea and city I feel quite relaxed about our position.

If, (and yes its a big if) we beat Everton, we should defiantley be looking at top 10.  :045:

[Burt]

When exactly was the last time we won at Goodison?

Here's hoping...  :beer:

its a massive IF I know.

Don't worry those who know my posts I will be back to being very pessimistic within a day it two.:-)

[White Noise]

I want the highest finish in the club's history - nothing less!

6th it is - you lucky people!

[SuffolkWhite]

Said 9th and will stick with that, but there is a possibility of 7th if we continue to win and draw  :033:

[jarv]

Last win at Everton was 1975, away in the cup I believe, enroute to Wembley! :wine:

I think we could be looking at another draw. That will be fine.

Why the roof could be about to fall in on despairing Everton fans if Moyes and Rodwell leave

As the final whistle confirmed Reading's FA Cup victory at Goodison the Evertonians around me gave off resigned sighs.

By the next morning it turned to anger. Towards gutless players, a skint and directionless board, and a manager who, to an increasing minority of fans, has lost it.

A well-known supporter (even your mum has heard of him) rang me to ask when I was going to call for David Moyes's head. He's had his time, he's had the money, but he's taking us nowhere, was the gist of his complaint.

That's not how I see it. Critics can question some of Moyes' tactics (starting with the Reading disgrace) and buys (starting with Bilyaletdinov) but they have to compare the dire state of the football played before he arrived to what they've witnessed since, and admit there's been a quantum leap in quality.

They cannot overlook how he's been forced to work under unacceptable financial constraints for a club of Everton's size, and need to ask who would replace him? And before anyone answers Owen Coyle, ask why you think he'd jump on to the Good Ship Kenwright.

That said, after nine trophy-less years, fans of the country's fourth most successful club have every the right to call for Moyes's head, and risk charges of treason. Because those who define such calls as treachery merely confirm Everton's status as the most patronised team in the land.

Evertonians are constantly told they've got a proper old-school manager in Moyes and a proper old-school chairman in Bill Kenwright, and should be grateful for both. So shut it.

And it's that total, unquestioning support for the Kenwright/Moyes axis outside of Goodison which has Evertonians butting the walls in frustration. Because they know their debt-ridden club is heading in the wrong direction and they know it deserves more than the perpetuation of the myth that Bill and Dave are the best a man can get.

Kenwright says if the right buyers were out there he'd sell tomorrow. Opponents question if he's asking the right price and how hard he's looking for it, and demand a serious, independent head-hunter be put in charge of the sale.

They also demand answers from a reclusive board which refuses to tell them why they are in so much debt they have to loan players to Championship sides, and what plan they have, if any, for the future.

As the sharks circle around Jack Rodwell the silence may about to be punctured.

If their latest home-grown, future England star is shipped out to Old Trafford on the cheap (how far off Andy Carroll's £35 million price tag will he be allowed to leave for?) and Moyes is told part of the fee has to follow Steven Pienaar's to the banks, breaking-point may have been reached.

It won't just be season-ticket holders voting with their feet it could well be Moyes.

Then the Goodison roof, which Kenwright has long declared unfit for purpose, may prove him correct. By falling in.

And the men purporting to run this club to the best of their abilities will have no-one to blame but themselves.

[Mr Fulham]

When exactly was the last time we won at Goodison?

Here's hoping...  :beer:

We were beaten narrowly last season. Having said this, our team was...

Schwarzer - Pantsil, Baird, Smalling, Shorey - Dempsey, Dikgacoi, Greening, Riise - Nevland (Elm 77), Okaka (Stoor 88).

...while they fielded their best line-up. Nevland scored our goal, Smalling (own goal) and Arteta scored for the Toffees.

[nevzter]

Not too optimistic about this one...Everton came back from an early goal at St. James Park to win 2-1.  A point would be a good result in my conservative opinion.  I just want Fulham to keep progressing and a point would achieve this end...COYW.  Anything more, is gravy.

WHERE IS LICKER BILL????????????
                                                         Have the more "sensitive" of our posters manage to chase him away?

[BarryP]

"Licker Bill. Licker Bill. Come back!"

[RidgeRider]

This is our match. We are tough to beat right now and this will be another road win for us. I'm very optimistic.

To put it in proper perspective, the last time Fulham won away at Everton the Prime Minister of England was Harold Wilson and the President of the US was Gerald Ford. However, since it's better to see the glass as half full the club is due  :wine:
