I can't remember anyone, anywhere saying that Wes Brown is/was/ever could be world class to be honest. If so they would get laughed out of town.

Ferguson certainly did when he was younger, passed up the chance to sign Ferdinand when he went to Leeds because he rated Brown that highly.

Another who rated him was Allen Marsh who was the goalkeeper in the same team as Wes, he still says that Wes was one of the best players he's ever played with and if it wasn't for the injurys he could have been one of the best in the world. Thats the problem though the injurys have really hampered him over the years.

* Racist club

No, you're right, Everton are the only club who don't support the Kick Racism Out Of Football and any other similar campaigns...

* The supporters whinge to the police as soon as a player (one they have probably abused throughout the whole game) flicks the Vs at them

While your club officials kick opposition officials out when they have the cheek to applaud the away supporters

* You call yourselves the People’s Club

A term coined by David Moyes and used for marketing

* Your ground is a hovel

We can't all be handed a shiny new ground now can we? That or some Arab's loose change....

* The supporters think the club is far more important than it actually is. You think you are as important as Liverpool

Every set of fans think their club is the most important, its called BEING A FAN....

* The supporters appear to spend a lot of time wallowing in self-pity

Try looking across Stanley Park for that...

* The least humourless and interesting supporters I have ever come across

Wouldn't "least humourless" mean the best sense of humour? Why thank you very much

Still, 6 points, and we spent f*** all

You teach? Really? Brilliant. That further strengthens my decision to send my daughter to a prep school.

I don’t know where you get this idea from that I dislike lots of teams. It simply isn’t true. I can assure that out of those you listed, I actually have no issue with Villa. Out of the PL I actually quite like Liverpool, Wolves, Blackburn, Newcastle, Bolton, West Brom and a few others. In terms of fans, my favourites are Arsenal. I also have soft spots for Brighton, Ipswich, Brentford, Barnet and Rochdale. One of those clubs actually sent City down to the Championship.

I will admit I dislike Everton. I cannot stand the club. For many reasons, including:
* Racist club
* The supporters whinge to the police as soon as a player (one they have probably abused throughout the whole game) flicks the Vs at them
* You call yourselves the People’s Club
* Your ground is a hovel
* The supporters think the club is far more important than it actually is. You think you are as important as Liverpool
* The supporters appear to spend a lot of time wallowing in self-pity
* The least humourless and interesting supporters I have ever come across

I do teach. Now you're mocking/ questioning that? Sums you up pretty well. I bet your the type who hates students. By what happens when you become ill and need a doctor? Or need a good lawyer? Or send your children to school? All have been educated so try not too belittle that.

Racist club? I don't remember Everton being a racist club I have to say, but I have seen a photo or a banana being thrown onto the pitch which is awful. But that was 20 years ago. I think you're indenial too think that Man City fans have never been racist.

Supporters whinge to the police? Its not the first time you've said that but I don't understand what it actually means. To me, it means Joey Barton showed his backside to the Park End, which lets face it, isn't the crime of the century but if you did it the street you'd be nicked. Three people out of 40,000 complained and thats your take on all EFC fans.

I don't call us the people's club, but so what if i did or anyone else does. Which lets face it, doesn't happen a lot.

Our ground is a hovel, you're right, I want us too move, but is that a reason to dislike the club.

Our team is important to us. But pot, kettle, black. Comparing City to United.

What have we wallowed in self-pity about? Nothing has ever happenend to EFC. Your second club no all about that though.

The last comment is just so bizarre its untrue.


Did you're Spurs wife have an affair with an Evertonian?

I'm not sure who's criticised Silva, but whoever they are are fairly dumb. .

I'm very happy to admit to extreme dumbness on that subject. After his first couple of ganes I did express doubts (having made it clear that I hadnt seen too much of him on the telly) as to whether Silva would cope with the physicality of the premiership. His performances in our last 3 games show that those doubts were unfounded. I think Mancini deserves a fair bit of credit for the way he has eased him into the league. Barring injuries I think he'll make a massive impact in the next few weeks.

Hernandes is obviously a very talented player. My only question would be whether him and Rooney are natural partners.

Mancini deserves no credit IMO - he's got the easiest job in the world!

One of life's little pleasures. People can say what they like about the fella (and, because he is so abrasive, they often do) but there can be no question that this thread in particular would be less interesting without him.
