My, my, first page of the RAWK thread on United game reminds
me of the more cynical amongst us on the pre-Brendan appointment
debate. Seems they're over 3 years behind!
http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=322898.0Meanwhile, some easy fixtures coming up, so the course of the season should not
become apparent 'til the fixtures against Spurs, Everton and Chelsea (no doubt by
then scrambling back up the table with a point to prove by then) in October.
I think the fanbase need to be studying Everton in this early part of the season
and forgetting about the elite clubs. Everton provide a reasonable barometer in
terms of our progress.
The point being that the narcissism, delusion and subsequent hopelessness
stems from unsuitable comparisons with Arsenal, United, Chelsea and City.
We simply do not have the class of manager, resources or structures that those
clubs enjoy.
Everton are the club which provide a true measure of our reality. We should be
looking at things like their young centre-half and asking questions about how we
compare across the board.
