• Neil @ 100, agree 100% with the 4 areas you pointed out for criticism of Moyes: 1) Sort out our defensive frailties on corners. 2) Sort out our own corner strategy. 3) Sort out the home form. 4) Make substitutions earlier in the game. Look forward to you agreeing with posters who raise them if they are repeated this season. ...

• Ian @ 99, it was your post @ 81 that did the airbrushing. Your depiction of the careers of these managers after winning a trophy is a complete generalisation. You were also very careful not to mention their careers before so you can give the impression that the trophy win was a one-off (and therefore had an element of luck). Let’s look at your list of “failures”: Alec McLeish - had already won the Scottish Premier League twice, Scottish Cup twice and Scottish League Cup twice before he guided Birmingham City to the League Cup (and promotion).

I’m getting old, not so much the brain, as the body, and I’ve stood the test of time, during my younger years, but it’s not just Everton, it’s football in general. Digital tickets, digital money, and the game getting ruined by digital refereeing. No wonder so much about the beautiful game now seems so robotic....
