Lescott [Merged]

Re: Lescott

What's going on here? Everton are a decent club, perhaps they are over achieving a little but good luck to them in my book.

Just because we've got a few bob let's not go around like the neighbour off the council estate who has won the lottery....we're better than that

Some of the things I've read from some city fans today have been really cringe-worthy but to be fair they're not "going around" saying it, this is still a city forum despite there being more everton fans on it at the moment!

(...rude and disgruntled everton fans)

As far as I can see there's only 2 of us posting in this thread... I think you'll find we've been pretty friendly, however some of the things posted my City fans is unbelievably rude and childish. Doesn't bother me tho, however I'd like you to point out where we've been rude.

Re: Lescott

+ we have much better support and bigger fan base.....

I'd say they were similar but you have a bigger and better stadium which means you have higher attendances.

Re: Lescott

Personally I like Everton, a similar club to City, dont see why we're all arguing. Everton are ahead of us on the pitch, we have a better stadium, both got good support and both have a bright future. I say good luck to them

Re: Lescott

Name some difficult questions i've failed to answer? List the 1), 2) etc and i'll gladly answer them

just this one will do, you made a fuss about my first post then wouldnt answer the respondant question



As for the top team quote, it really is funny. you keep telling us your a big club but have nothing to back it up, without going back to the 80s tell me how you are still on of the big english clubs. As city fans we accept that we are not a massive club in stature anymore, although we are in terms of fanbase and finance. It seems to me that Everton fans like yourself need to take a good look at your club and work out that 13 years with no major trophys and a couple of top 5 places isnt what the top clubs are doing to earn their status

Serious question what makes you think you are one of englands biggest clubs in the mould of Man u, Liverpool, chelsea, arsenal. if you can answer that without going back to the 80s i will be happy to accept you argument. The truth is when you compare yourself to the real big clubs you dont have much of an argument

Ahh ok I didnt realise that was aimed at me seeing as the points reference something DSOB had posted not me... how could I have been so stupid? ;)

If you look back through this thread you'll see i've actually been the one who's been trying to stear the conversation away from this totaly pointless debate.

If I have to answer the points you posted just to avoid you accusing me of dodging them i'd say:

We have a richer history.
You have more money and a better stadium.
Neither teams won anything for ages.
This is a pointless debate

It wasnt supposed to be a debate, just a serious question. many of the everton fans on here have made that point the basis for any argument on here. If thats going to be the point of reference your fans make then its only fair you explain yourselves to the rest of us, although you may have tried to steer away from the subject, you have made that point yourself(so seems you agree with it). Apart from the history, and its not what you could call recent, i dont see what edge you have at all over us.

If you dont want to be dragged into the same arguments you need to point out that you dont agree with the other everton fans posts.

I'd say they were similar but you have a bigger and better stadium which means you have higher attendances.

You are in denial so I will finish with this last post.

What is the reasoning to say "you have a bigger and better stadium which means you have higher attendances".

Can you also explain why you are moving from Jurassic Park which has a capacity of 41,000 to a stadium with a capacity of 55,000 when you only have an average attendance of 34,000?

Re: Lescott

BTW guys .
We aren't claiming that we are a ' big ' club , even if we are .
The point was raised by ' your ' fans that we were a ' little ' club , so it was only right that we defended that issue .
Just thought that needed clarifying :o)

You can forget about Lescott .
He's just phoned me up and said he is very happy at Everton , and not to take any notice of those nasty City rumours :o)
He wants to know where he can get a boob tube like Ferdinands so he can wear it under his shirt and flash it when he scores against the mancs lmao .

And Goodison has thousands of seats with a poor view btw , hence not always being full , though our average capacity in percentage of total capacity is still slightly higher than Citys :o)

Fair point. Why I dont disagree with the Everton fans is that I believe history does play a significant part in a clubs stature. I personally dont think Chelsea will ever be as big a club as Man U or Liverpool because they aren't steeped in the same history. However Chelsea are a big club because of their recent sucesses. Its all relative really, history plays a big part in you being a big club, as does the current day.

As neither club has done much in recent years its really a pointless argument really. We have a richer history (so were living in the past), you have a lot of potential and money but aren't anywhere yet (so your living in a possible future). Both sides will argue the toss and not back down as they have their opinions which is the way it should be, however it renders this type of deabte completely pointless.

I think we were all getting on nicely discussing Lescott etc until this debate kicked off, since then there's been some cretinous remarks being thrown about and lots of chests being puffed out. I dont see the point myself.

Fair doos mate for me City and Everton are too big clubs of the same size abouts, so who cares lol. Hope we get Lescott though ;-).
