Well, we haven't.

Can you remember which day we signed Toby last summer? I can.

Why don't you try and stop typing the same thing three times a day every day, then.

Everton don't HAVE to win their game.

I can't remember if he is one of the players we're supposed to be furious about us not signing. Newcastle, Stoke and Palace have strengthened with so many world beating megastars I've lost track.

Of course we do.

I think this qualifies as a situation where whatever Koeman said people would put a negative spin on it.

I always see an endorsement from Jason Cundy as the platform for an outstanding season. This is going to take some getting over.

It's been locked from the start, with updates added by the mods as they appear.

Nothing says "the true spirit of football" like pining over the impossible dream of having a stadium on an out of town trading estate. There could have been a Frankie and Benny's and everything. Oh I wish we could be like Reading, I wish we could be like Reading.

I don't understand why people don't understand that. It's pretty obvious why he does it like that.

Yes, someone is definitely making naive assumptions here.

Because we're not Sunderland.

The kind of transfer we would never do. Which is fine.

Delgado £12m. Delap £2.5m.

Stoneham would have been absolutely fu cking sh it so it always makes me laugh when people still grizzle about it not happening. How great we could have been in a 25,000 out of town stadium just off a motorway junction. Oh, the humanity.

Dear god.

That you are.

Lowe didn't sell 8 players in two years or whatever the number is that Delldays/Batman likes to use. Quite frankly Lowe did a brilliant job of keeping our Prem squad together. Maybe one sold a season - the dream Everton model, surely?

I concur.

In the anticipation of a clutch of European fixtures we have loaded up the squad with reasonable/average filler. Following yesterday's debacle that now looks rather silly. We've beedn unlucky in not having a fit Clasie - him being any good early on (in the way Tadic and Pelle did) might have built some confidence. Still think VVD is coming but that probably is it for the window.

No.

Why not at least compare it to our 2014/15 team, the one that recorded our best finish in 30 odd years and our highest points tally on the Premier League era. Seems a slightly strange need to pretend last season didn't happen with some people. Why is that?

We've already been better than anything he did.

He's gone and it worked out fine. He's not coming back either. Get over it.
