    Good good.

    We showed yesterday and two weeks ago we can mix it with the top 6. If we continue to do that and decimate the rest all season we are doing very well

    Silva's record at Hull, Watford and Everton reads:- PLD 47 PTS 53 GD-28

    It's incredible he's got such a high reputation. Just goes to show, a flash watch goes a long way.

    Some of my personal favourites:

    "Has no plan b".

    "He’s an utter fraud. No way he will see this season out. Never seen a more pathetic attempt at organising a defence in my life. SIX games played and no clean sheet. Wouldn’t mind, but the teams we’ve played."

    "Only Everton could face a possible points deduction for tapping up a manager who we'll likely sack by the end of the season [​IMG]"

    "Can't see a clean sheet coming this year."

    "Zonal marking, full back pushed high up, high line and over played at the back. Drawing Huddersfield and lost to West Ham is bad really bad. We are rubbish when defending."

    You could've cut and paste most of these from our forum around November last year!

    Brilliant HB1, If only I could give this 2 likes, the average number of goals conceded per game in England by the watchman.
    Is it on their forum yet?

    Let’s hope it’s worth all the tapping up hassle.

    I hope that doesn’t come back to bite them, like a snake biting, in their arse

    Think the Pozzos should just write to the Premier League and say something like “lol, on second thoughts they can just have Silva, hahahah”

    Just reading their forum. ALL their hopes and dreams are now pinned on to richarlison. Absolutely brilliant stuff. The whole team cant play unless he's playing apparently. They are in a for a shock when they find out his purple patches are short lived.

    For example:

    "Not only did we miss the pigeon dancing ones attacking prowess but I think we missed his pressing & energy too. I think that is a big part of how we want to play now (which is a good thing imo). "

    (Also, the pigeon dancing one? They really are ****s).

    That's the crux of it...Richarlison and Mina are the answers to their problems....this'll be interesting.

    Trouble is Richarlison will probably manage to paper over their cracks, until at least the January transfer window.

    Everton are just like Palace. They are a one man team. Without Zaha Palace can't win and same goes for Everton without Richarlison. The sad part is that we gave them the Richarlison lifeline, which is a bit irksome.

    Regarding Richarlison being their only hope - I'm sure it won't take other teams long to work out that if you stop him, you stop Everton.

    Like last season here, as an unknown he started on fire. Gradually, teams doubled up on him or adapted tactically to negate his strengths - and as we all saw, his influence on games waned.

    You'd think teams would remember that for this season, but I guess with him joining such a 'huge' club, it wasn't expected that he'd be crucial for them so soon. Now that it appears he is - expect teams to counter it very quickly (those teams with a coach that knows how to set up in more than one way - probably why Silva bought him, as he'd be clueless in stopping him.........)

    Their first game was Wolves who were more used to snuffing out the Barnsley threat last season.

    Silva sacked a fortnight before we play them, they get 5 point deduction one week before we play them. Richarlison sulks off form after he leaves and they get relegated. It's written already.

    At the recent TFTV night, Neil Cox spoke about how modern players didn't seem to able to or want to follow instructions, rather they had to encourage players to hopefully make the right decisions themselves.

    Toffees 2-0 currently down at the Arse and the second way offside apparently.

    Everton were actually playing very well and arsenal weren’t coping with their press but they couldn’t finish off their chances ( Richy had 3 attempts all saved) . However 2 quick goals by arsenal have done for them ( second was offside ) .. what a shame !

    Before the game is ended, post on their forum:

    ‘Watford should get that investigation dropped we did them a favour’.

    I’m almost beginning to feel sorry for them..



    Edit: On second thoughts I was there in ‘84 and only bear grudges for 35 years so .... f@ck ‘em.

    Ironically by the time those independent lawyers have completed their findings some time in 2019, Everton will likely be paying us compo for a manager that isn't there anymore.

    His time managing in England is almost done.
