everton

[blade too long]

everton , is it just me , they sent us down in 94 when Hans Segers weetabix dives let everton come from 2 down to win 3-2
last night 2 down not close to looking capable of pulling it back suddenly get 3 again to save themselves
Patrick Viera was fuming over some of the decisions
but dont think on the first half showing theyd pull it back at all without some help from somewhere

Thanks you've reminded me of a long journey back from Stamford Bridge, surrounding by braying Chelsea tossers.

But yes, I was thinking the same. Something very iffy then and maybe the same now.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Thought the same BTL.
So much so I watch the 3 min highlights this morning to see if there were any dodgy goalkeeping shenanigans.
I'm not convinced there were, although the middle attempt looked pretty feeble.
The reason must lay somewhere else then!

 

[Jon Bon II]

I can't stand the club. Decades of pent-up bitterness from living in the shadow of LFC, one of the worst grounds in the top two divisions and yes, some really dodgy goings on when it matters most. I would much rather Leeds stay up then them.

Great comeback last night.

Fair play to 'em.

At least Vieira got to kick one of the Everton fans who accosted him on the pitch at the end.

Do people realise how pathetic it sounds when insinuating bribes have taken place or there is a conspiracy to keep sides in a division.

I still haven’t got over, that day at Stamford bridge and the journey on the bus home.
So wanted Everton to go down, but they are football’s equivalent of a certain, greased albino piglet, and always wriggle out of it, and come up smelling of roses.

 

[Blacksea]

Chelsea,Man Utd and Leicester all in the great Everton conspiracy.

Generally yes. But I would bare my are on the own hall steps if there wasn't money changing hands in 1994.

Segers at Everton
Fashanu at Wimbledon

If you were at Plough Lane for our match, you'd think the same.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Where does Ayew avoiding a red card for an over-the-top challenge, and then scoring a goal moments later, fit into this conspiracy to keep Everton in the Premier League?

 

[Davalon]

Listened to an Everton supporting comedian on the radio yesterday, Avery?

He said they needed Hans Segers in goal for the Palace game, basically acknowledging he was less than honest that day.

Definitely happened in 94 ....100% convinced segars was paid off

It's definitely happened before. There are hundreds of millions of quid at stake. How can you be so certain it will never happen again?

 

[JJBlade]

Yes
I remember my first boss when I was a kid.

He said "Wherever money changes hands, there's a fiddle"

Definitely happened in 1994, Segers, Fashanu, Grobelaar, plus all the manager bungs

But anyone watching the Everton v Chelsea game could have no complaints, it was a miracle Everton won that game.

Chelsea murdered them but everything was either brilliantly saved by the goalie, or it just hit him and stayed out

 

[mancunianblade]

Whatever it takes to send leeds “biggest club in Yorkshire” united back down

I want Everton to go down every year simply because they seemed to have marginally avoided it by pure luck (or something else) for most of my lifetime.

I have to disagree about their ground though, Goodison is one of my favourites.

 

[BladesNo9]

Anyone who thinks that corruption isn't profoundly 'alive and kicking'! in English Pro' football is profoundly gullible....

and needs to give their head a wobble!

 

[Davalon]

The ref did too imho.

Only reason he didn't give a penalty for the second hand ball.

Fortune favours the massive.
