• There is an assumption that we are better now than we've ever been John, and that behaviour like this is now beyond the pale. Behaviour which happened every week a couple of decades ago. I suggest we are not now living in some great new enlightened time where boorish behaviour is no longer tolerated. In fact, we've been anaesthetised to a great extent, there's much worse shit going on now than at any time for decades. We're not advancing in our civilisation, we've regressed. Much better to see someone waking up from the dream even if only for a few minutes to object to some injustice in a physical manner, than to watch us all staring dumbly at our screens....

  John Collins in Thierno Barry points out “unacceptable behaviour” after loss at Emirates
• it really is a strange old time we are living through. We can all watch on live stream as tens of thousands of kids get blown to bits in Gaza and carry on quite normally, but then agonise about 'oh, what have we become!' when a couple of dickheads get in our end and celebrate a last minute winner and fisticuffs break out? Footy is a tribaliistic working men's game, they are alll lagered up and wound up to ten. What do -people think is going to happen when a load of uninvited guests start cheering at our demise? that there was a scuffle is the most predictable event of the weekend, all the opprobrium should be headed in our idiot centre forward'd direction,...

• I agree John, Everton supporter or anyone else behaving like that is disgraceful. Is that what football has become, its nothing short of pathetic behavior. Its idiots like them that has caused a situation where its not advisable to sit among the other teams supporters. Mistakes in this instance were made all round, but its a poor state of affairs when you get such extream reaction....

• If all the black kids were doing was celebrating a goal, then I hope our 'brave' global ambassadors are banned for life! Everton and football don't need them!...
  John Pickles in Thierno Barry points out “unacceptable behaviour” after loss at Emirates
• The best thing to come out of this performance was that we went toe to toe with a team competing on four fronts for trophies. With luck we could have won this one, even the London Standard called Everton an impressive side and we were. The players will have grown in confidence after realizing how close to a win we were, and what extra is needed to get across the line. We all know what is needed in the summer and I think we will be right up there next season. I think we will beat both Chelsea and the dark side at BMD if we put in a similar performance, and we could yet achieve European football. There has been a total reset since the Manager came in and along with new stadium we our now seen as a team that warrants respect and heading in the right direction....
