He scored against Manchester United and took his shirt off in the first game I ever went to. That pretty much sealed me as an Everton fan.

He had a rough go of injuries throughout his career but whenever he played you couldn't doubt his passion.

I thimk my Fave Duncan Ferguson moment is actually Jimmy Bullard's face after he'd seen him punch out Paul Scharner

Always cracks me up every time I see it

h8kurdt · 12.08.2019, 09:46 AM

Haha! I'd actually forgotten about that one. Solid gold.

But I'm pretty much past caring now. Pellegrini has to go but I'm not sure any manager could make a success of things at the club in its current state. Rotten from top to bottom.

h8kurdt · 12.10.2019, 05:51 AM

You feeling like you're going to go down? I can't see it personally but football is a strange beast.

h8kurdt · 12.10.2019, 07:22 AM

Also, what you feeling like needs changing specifically? Signing dud players players (something Everton know a lot.about) has got to be the first thing, right? Can't be spending £40 million on an already risky striker and acting surprised that he isn't doing anything.

demonrail666 · 12.10.2019, 09:47 AM

we are bad enough to go down. There's no fight in the club. The minute they go behind they just crumble. There's some decent individuals there but they're not a team.

The core problem is always gonna be the owners. They've tried every kind of manager and none of them have worked out. They have a terrible reputation within the game to the extent that the only way they can attract anyone to the club of any real quality is by offering them a fortune in wages, which encourages the very kind of mercenary attitude that makes building of any kind of team spirit impossible.

lively first half for liverpool v watford, fast pace from both sides and quality makinf a difference when it comes to taking advantage of goal chances: mo scored a beauty right after watfor missed a great opportunity (and if my eyes dont deceive me, a possible penalty call, but i no longer get what is a handball per the rules).

2-0 final score and watford did a good job actually but in the end they got mo’d

h8kurdt · 12.14.2019, 01:59 PM

Think that game showed West Ham fans can stop worrying. It ain't gonna be a fun season but you ain't getting relegated!

demonrail666 · 12.14.2019, 04:25 PM

Yeah. Not that bad a performance either. Fans have been saying for ages that Antonio and Haller should be up front together and today Pellegrini did it. Almost makes you wonder if he reads the fan forums ... almost.

But yeah. I think we'll just about pick up enough points to avoid the drop. It won't be pretty but is it ever?

!@#$%! · 12.14.2019, 05:08 PM

oh! tomorrow, wolfitos v spurs! the clash of the portuguese managers...

may nuno win

as for arsenal v man city... poor arsenal, i expect

!@#$%! · 12.15.2019, 09:09 AM

jfc spurs scores first

—

this is a great first half regardless

h8kurdt · 12.15.2019, 09:47 AM

Everton up 1-0 against Man Utd. All it took was Duncan Ferguson to take his jacket off in the rain and the players shit themselves to kick it up a gear. Gotta love it.

!@#$%! · 12.15.2019, 10:54 AM

aw, fuck, spurs scored late and won

fair result given the relentless action and how wolves missed chances when they had them

great game / not sorry

h8kurdt · 12.16.2019, 06:57 AM

_tunic_ · 12.16.2019, 07:58 AM

too bad that Ajax are no longer in it, but yeah some nice matchups still.

In other news, yet another trainer got sacked, this time it's Van Bommel of PSV, after winning only two of the last twelve matches. There was the following joke on twitter:

what is the resemblance between Van Bommel and a turkey?

they both won't make it until Christmas
