• YES Paul. Well said. Win required! As for surveys, don't they depend on the number and demographic of the participants? But good to have the improvements noticed. If this is an annual service, this latest survey becomes the base point for Everton and HDS from now on....

  Rob Hooton in Moyes targets Merseyside Derby win to keep Champions League ‘dream alive’
• Interesting to hear about the Keane interview, I’ll have to look for it. He’s had a very good season and has played through injuries during his time here, you can’t say he hasn’t got stuck in. Michael, apologies for going off piste earlier (off a cliff style)....
  Rob Hooton in Please, Everton... Just Do It!!!
• Si # 35 - that’s the problem, only we the fans, understand the importance of freeing ourselves from their superiority complex over us. They think they are better than us and because they do, it gives them an edge. It is instilled into them from the day they walk into Mordor.Like I said this is a battle of wills.
