Mad Max is a credit to RAWK. 

I've been mentioned a few times on GOT.

[Mad Max]

hahahahah Mad Max it is

Eh?

[EstonianRed]

League table still not updated 10.39  24.02

[Mad Max]

11 points above the blues.

[The 5th Benitle]

If Everton was a tree it would be a long dead one used to build its stadium.

[Skeeve]

I thought this one was particularly good:

Liverpool create chances because some teams not good enough will try and play them in Liverpool's half. Only the better teams will prevail with that; the 'lesser' clubs need to just get behind the ball and soak it up.

By this logic, doesn't that make Everton, Arsenal and Spurs are lesser teams?

Davek is like the Evertonian Andy@Allerton.

Why so many of them are optimistic about the club's future is what I want to know. I get it could be blind faith and all that but even so, it's pushing it.

Their team this season:

Howard

Coleman
Jagielka
Distin
Baines

McCarthy
Barry

Mirallas
Barkley
Pienaar/Deulofeu

Lukaku/Traore

Very good side, well-balanced, certainly solid with that back four and two good holding midfielders and exciting attacking players but a lack of proven goalscorers (which has been their downfall in several games, thus their high number of draws).

But, should they fail to get Champions League football then next season things are looking grim for them. The defence and goalkeeper they have been so reliant on this season will have several players (Jagielka, Distin, Howard) a year older, already there are in to their thirties. Same goes for Barry if he joins on a permanent deal as I suspect he will. Then they lose the goals of Lukaku, their backup striker Traore and are left up top with the crock Kone and Naismith. Pienaar's already declined a lot and will do moreso, same goes for Osman. Deulofeu, back to Barcelona most likely or on loan elsewhere. Barkley and Mirallas, I reckon at least one will leave, it's rare that a summer goes by in which The Ev don't cash in on at least one big asset.

That leaves them in a sticky situation. Martinez is a good manager but it won't be long before he becomes frustrated with their lack of resources. He'll have to hit the jackpot with two or three more loan deals you feel and make the most of whatever minor amount of cash he's serviced.

The Everton fans I know are extremely annoyed at losing three of their last four games. They felt this was the year for them after such a good summer transfer window and with Man Utd declining rapidly, Tottenham scarred having wasted so much money and us being shite (according to them a few months back). Yet it looks highly unlikely they will be dining at the top table in Europe.

I look forward to them being in embroiled in a battle for 7th next season with Southampton, Newcastle and Swansea.

You missed United there mate 

[Nessy76]

You missed United there mate 

Nah, they'll be in a relegation scrap.

[barneystuta]

Their fans really are incredible and live on a different planet.

[Kopenhagen]

I'm still waiting on Bobby to "do a Dortmund" with them.

[Kovai Red]

Nah, they'll be in a relegation scrap.

That is if Moyes stays.

[thelinnen]

I love it. When we finish fourth we'll have all these extra games so we'll be shit. Everton will finish 5th or lower this season, and then use that advantage over us to...finish fourth? But why? They'll have all these extra games so they'll be shit!

Yeah but when they get forth it'll be different innit.

[WhoHe]

From GOT:

What like a Redwood ? (or more likely a Crabapple tree)

[Groundskeeper Willie]

From GOT:

If Gareth Barry was a tree it's roots would be the strongest and deepest of them all.

Corrected.

[zip]

At least they've updated the table on GOT, the redshite are no longer visible, they can now imagine we are below them.

[Redman0151]

They need some serious investment soon.

Their back 5 is solid but Howard and Distin are old, Baines will start to decline and squad players like Osman and Pienaar seem past their best.

They really need some moron to come in and spunk loads of money on one of their players again, Coleman is the only one I see being worth anything

Fully agree. That Barkley is a headless chicken. I really feel for them. Lucky they have a good manager in Bobby though.

[Brian Blessed]

Davek is like the Evertonian Andy@Allerton.

I was going to say something similar, but more like Andy's angrier, more unhinged brother.

[Mad Max]

 

[Red Beret]

Is that davek fella the inbred cousin of Chelsea Win 99% of Games or something?  This was an absolute gem:

It's unfortunate United hired a complete divvy as a manager but there it is.

The same divvy who managed their team for 10 years?

What were his veiws on divvie around the time he got the ManU job?

[Kopenhagen]

I think it was after our win against Spurs when 'davek' said Moyes would get Utd above us for the CL.

[Redman0151]

Probably "better than that dog shagger with his useless boring tiki taka up the road"

[payback]

they've finally updated the league table on GOT but they've changed it so it doesn't show us above them at all. it's like we don't even  exist    http://www.grandoldteam.com/index   how bitter and small time can you get 

[TheDarkKnight]

Ha, just see that post with a load of davek quotes attached.

Can you imagine if Everton won the FA Cup this season only for us to go and win the title a week later? It would be majestic, just because you know that davek and many other Bitters would happily take away their first trophy win in 19 years to deny us such success.

Love his constant reminders to his mates there that Swansea played in the Europa League on Thursday. Sure they're ware of that already mate. Fails to acknowledge that his own side put out their strongest team last week in the cup against a depleted Swans XI with only one or two regulars but were outplayed for large parts of the game and only won because of a dumb backpass. So f**king bitter and blinded it's unreal.

Credit to them - they've probably spent the whole night trying to figure out how to update the table without melting into a bitter puddle.

@DarkKNight - I suggested a few pages back how priceless it would be to win the league if they won the FAC.  It would absolutely castrate any enjoyment or sense of accomplishment and all they would be able to think about is us.

it would be a christmas tree.


Brings joy to some people for a few weeks and then starts to piss people off so much so that you can't wait to take it down

[HeartAndSoul]

They're obsessed with every long pass we play and score from. Apparently Gerrard's pass to Suarez which led to Hendos goal was hoofball and route one football

[Baraka]

Nah if Everton was a Tree, it would be a cactus tree. Lots of Pricks.

[payback]

adrian durham having a go at everton on talkshite at the minute, might be worth a listen.


and another GEM  from GOT:



Out of the 70 goal Liverpool have scored, Coutinho has 3 and 4 assists. Out of 37 everton have scored, Osman has 2 and 3 assists.

Osman is 25% better than Coutinho.
