Football Protests: Are We All Moaners At Heart?

Football Protests: Are We All Moaners At Heart?

I’m interested in Premier League protests, and especially the battle between the board and protest groups at Everton. Tomorrow I’ll be blogging on the Kenwright Out “issue”, trying to separate fact from the factions, but today I thought I’d post some pictures and quotes I’ve found on t’internet. It doesn’t look like fans of other sides are too happy with their owners or managers either.  Are we all moaners at heart? (Look out for the corking “Abramovich Out!” banner below…) Manchester United Glazers Sir Alex Ferguson Glazers Arsenal Arsene Wenger “Save Arsenal FC. Kroenke out. Arsenal Football Club is in crisis.” Chelsea Abramovich & Ancelotti Phil Scolari Newcastle United Cockney...

60 Games That Shook Goodison:#13.Everton 5-0 Manchester United.

60 Games That Shook Goodison:#13.Everton 5-0 Manchester United.

Everton 5-0 Manchester United. 27th October 1984. The 1984/85 Season was Everton’s best ever – but it wasn’t just a procession towards trophies, there were a few upsets along the way too. Our first two league games ended in defeat, a Cup Winners’ Cup match away to UC Dublin ended in a shock 0-0 draw, and days after winning a trophy in Europe, Everton lost the FA Cup final against Man Utd. This game, against a Manchester United side that cost six times as much as Everton’s team, stands out even in a season of victories. Everton had totally changed from the side the year before that was soundly...

60 Games That Shook Goodison: #11.Everton Win Their Eighth League Title

Everton 2-0 QPR. 6th May 1985 These days such a fixture glut could never happen. A mountain of kvetches and moans from managers would pile sky high on the FA’s doormat. In Everton’s case they played through the brick wall of games, and were simply unstoppable. On Saturday May 4th Everton beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0. The following Monday, they faced QPR. On the Wednesday they welcomed West Ham, and on Saturday May 11th they travelled to Nottingham Forest. Four games in a week at the brutal business end of the season, and remarkably they won three and lost one. Mountfield’s opener came after 24 minutes. Sheedy and his immaculate...

60 Evertonians: 7.Paul Wilson

7.Paul Wilson Bio (shamelessly lifted from here): Paul Wilson is the Observer’s football correspondent. He has previously worked for the Guardian and the Independent and local newspapers in the north of England, where he still lives, the only Evertonian in a family of Liverpool and Wigan Athletic supporters. No awards, books or television career to speak of, but he once saw a bloke on the tube laughing out loud while reading his column. He lives in hope that in another five years or so he might spot another one. Or even the same one. Q1. Why Everton? Because my dad supported them, is the short answer. Or at least...

Top 60 Everton Players:#21.Kevin Sheedy

March 11, 2010

  21. Kevin Sheedy (1982-92)  349 appearances, 93 goals  Sheedy’s talent lay fallow at Liverpool, until Kendall took him to Goodison for £100,000 – it speaks volumes that Bob Paisley was both against the deal and unhappy with the tribunal-set price. Blessed with a left foot that was responsible for countless perfect passes – aiding and abetting Gary Lineker during the striker’s smash-and-grab tenure at Goodison – and wonderful free kicks, he was a vital part of Everton’s heady mid-eighties success. Look beyond his left foot – I know it’s hard – and you see an excellent 97 goals in 368 appearances. Another genius signing by Kendall, he gave...
