Don’t agree with the ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ chants but I can understand them considering current form and the past 6 seasons. However, the singing of ‘You scouse bastard, get out of our club’ was an absolute disgrace and I was ashamed to share a stand with those singing that. That’s totally unwarranted.

I can honestly say I never heard it...may have been half a dozen pissed up teens!!

When Everton were in the shit two seasons back and the team were at their lowest ebb it was the fans who turned things around, they got behind the team to a massive extent, full on 90 minutes roaring them on. The players responded and they escaped relegation.
Any other response is obviously going to make the situation worse as there is no prospect of a new team, new manager or new board to turn the thing around before the end of the season. So continuing to push in that direction is pointless.
I understand people are frustrated, but if our grandparents had turned on their government and generals in 1940/41 after a massive catalogue of fuck ups and zero successes we'd all be speaking german now.

Wednesday is going to be horrible.
Knowing this lot, we could score first and instead of trying to get the fans back on side and get a result, they’ll all cup their ears instead.
I know, I know, is scoring is a bit far fetched.

Unfortunately I think a QPR win on Wednesday is nailed on. They'll be aware of our lousy home form and abysmal form in general. They'll know of the unrest and tension amongst the fans and know if they can score first things will more than unlikely unravel and become extremely toxic very quickly. I really, really hope I'm wrong but I'm going for 0-2.

This is absolute bollocks. Everton fans are probably the worst I’ve ever seen for getting on the backs of their own team. They got out of the shit because there was 3 worse teams.

You pay your money so you can have your say. It’s always been the way. Absolutely agree violence isn’t the way to go but supporters are entitled to moan with the dross being served up at Stoke.

Well done, sir. Maybe. He speaks well and fair play to him. I just cannot get onboard with anyone that spends most of a match fancying around with their phone or records their own goal celebration.

I'm quite honestly shocked it's been as subdued as it has for so long. I still attend a match here or there from the states but add insult to injury there the cost of a club membership and then the clubs foreign streaming costs are not justifiable with this squad and management at the top. I honestly think this will be a turning point for thousands this weds to say that's it fuck off. I know I am.

large lads day out following , which anyone who travels away regularly will know often doesn’t end well , that together with the toxicity around the club with worrying performances and results ..all ingredients for the perfect storm…and so it proved ..no surprise TBH
As I approached the ground plenty giving it large and looking for confrontations which largely weren’t there , all very sad
heated debates started around us before the game even kicked off .. the first half performance fanning the flames , listening to the same squabbles for 5 minutes was bad enough , but when it continued on a loop unabated for 90 mins , it’s perhaps not surprising that elsewhere people put an end to it in the only way they know ..crowds can be volitile places
The negative songs started early , some take a gallows humour pleasure in them , for others it’s venting frustrations, IMHO they only help to split the support further and tend to result in arguments and even fights breaking out as tensions inevitably rise
Didnt hear any anti Scouse stuff , but it’s something I’ve been expecting since day 1 , I’m sure it’ll come , the question is only when ..taking umbrage isnt a hill I’m looking to die on ..we’ll see
All in all a frustrating and concerning day both on and off the pitch , as always some will always look to justify poor behaviour ..but not unexpected and nothing that sadly ive not seen numerous times before over the years .
The first half , especially the game plan was dire , and although the 2nd was better , the missed penalty took away any serious edge we had to any potential fight back ..and we were largely flat as their game management easily ran down the clock

It’s an abhorrent thing to chant but as concerning it’s brainlessly directed at the wrong target. SS may well be out of his depth , may well be culpable of allowing a truly awful position to deteriorate but we must not allow the focus to shift from those that created the mess not the one who inherited it .

Bout time somebody called him out...... To be fair I think everybody would be happy if World of Twist played “we’ll be with you” 10 minutes before every game and Nigde were providing the catering services. Somehow the club have missed this time and time again despite Clams most sterling efforts. Trouble is he’s hard on the outside but soft as shit on the inside
