Not being sarky here, but does it matter what's gone on in "the last few years"? They're gone, history. It's what you do from here on that counts. Tarkowski, I'm not sure about. But I saw McNeil have some decent games for Burnley. Not sure how he'll psychologically handle the downgrade, mind.Damning indictment of our recruitment in the last few years that Tarkowski and McNeil improve us a lot. I was undecided on Tarkowski when we got him but he's been very good so far. Im really suprised by his ability on the ball too, he's very composed.
McNeil l have always been a fan of. Had a poor season last year but was their best player on the run in, playing from the right which is where I think he will pkay for us. Still only 22 and has potential, just hope he fulfills it as we havent improved a player in years.
Looks like Gana coming back too on a free - love him. We really struggled to replace him and its amusing that he's the replacement.
We still need another forward and at least 1 CM though
Sherry was excellent and I also admired Trevor Steven on the opposite flank. We all saw how good Peter Reid was during his Indian Summer with us.Posted before about the great, footballing English teams I've witnessed and appreciated over the years since The Old Man first took me to Maine Road, most notably
- Spurs 60-62 under Bill Nicholson
- Forest 77-82 under Cloughie
- Villa's title year under (yes!) Saunders
- Liverpool 77-80 under Paisley
- Arsenal mid-90s under Wenger
But for me, good as they were, none of them were as thrilling to watch as that Everton side under Kendall. Pace, skill and an amazing work ethic throughout the team. And the jewel in its crown (again, for me) was Kevin Sheedy.. what a player, great vision and what a left peg!
Everton should have at least one European Cup to its name. We all know who's to blame for the fact that the club doesn't to this day..

Be honest; we've all been there, haven't we?

Never thought of switching to the "This means More" mob then?No matter how bad things get they will always be the team I love.

It mightn't be the worst time to play Chelsea. Apparently, they've had a poor pre season (twatted 4-0 by Arsenal, weren't they?), and a few new faces that need to gel.Here we go, match day has arrived. Off I will plod to the ground tonight with no idea what to expect.
Just have to trust Frank and hope the signings fit in. Can't expect much, but not being in a relegation fight would be nice. Time will tell. Up the Toffees

As they say down Knotty Ash, yer can change yer name, yer wife, yer religion, but yer don't change yer footy team. Come on, Everton!No matter how bad things get they will always be the team I love.

The most stupid rule they have come up with.So failing to raise the flag properly on time has finaly resulted in a serious player injury. Godfrey with possible leg break.
Was only a matter of time. Wants fucking off as a rule pronto.

Everybody has been warning them for over a year that it’d result in an injury as well. Such a pointless rule, needs changing.
Conor Coady? That’s going to go down well
