Title: The Toffee's
Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, December 14, 2004, 09:42:14
Just wanted to comment on how well Everton are doing this season. It just shows that although Money is good its not everything! David Moyes has done a fantastic job. He's really got the team playing well with such passion and commitment....

And the good thing is, is that although they're second they're not getting any real media attention, which takes the pressure off them. Will it last tho?

Not sure they're title contenders, I'd like Arsenal to win it but can see Chelsea doing it this season.

i'd like to see them in the top 6 come the end of the season but can't see them keeping 2nd/3rd spot, Man U are starting to gain points on the leaders at the moment (4th i believe). i think it will be the usual lot at the top arsenal chelsea + man u (not in that order!!) come the end of the season

They're doing bloody well, but there's no chance they'll finish in the top 4.

I bet they'll be bottom half come the end of next season.  One season wonders.  Very hit and miss the ol' Evertonians.  Like to see them finish ahead of their scouse rivals, Liverpool, not Tranmere.

Good point about the lack of media attention which must be helping a bit. The media have already reduced the Premiership to a 2/3 horse race and during last noght's game on tv the commentator said "United won't want to lose anymore ground on Arsenal and Chelsea", he had to be reminded that Everton are actually ahead of Arsenal.

David Moyes has been very lucky in the fact he's had no injuries and no suspensions. I'm sure if every manager had that luxury we'd be looking at a very differen't Premier League table

the problem they'll have is when they lose another game it'll be hard for moyes to motivate them because "they're doing better than expected anyway".

Fair play to Everton. Hard work and determination has got them where they are.

Wish we had a few more honest grafters in our side at the moment

No real stars in the team, just a bunch of footballers all pulling in the same direction and battling hard. Good luck to them!
