Carrying on from Geoffs great suggestion. Let's think of happier times. No managers again just players and games.

So what has been your ONE favourite game from each of our recent managers Moyes to Sam. Don't be negative just the positives.

For me with Moyes it was the United game at home when we were 3-1 down and pulled the two goals back to draw. There are loads of games to choose from but for me United I hate more than anyone. Since I've been alive I've been to EVERY cup final we've been beaten in. The three I've missed we've won. The 85 final was sickener because I had a chance for the Cup Winners but couldn't do the two. Therefore I blame United.

But from being in despair with minutes left to euphoria them minutes later, it was the quickest change of emotion I've had. Almost equally is the semi at Wembley against them.

Martinez was the Arsenal game in his first season. It was the first time in 20 years we felt like the Everton of old. We had to beat to stay in the hunt for CL. We did and in some style.

Koeman was the Arsenal game at home again. The 2-1 scoreline turned his and our season around and from then on we played some of the best football I've seen since 87.

Unsie was his last game against West Ham. I wonder if he would have been given the job from the off would the players just knuckled down and backed. Who knows?

Seeing him with nothing but passion on the sidelines was brilliant to see.

For Sam the Leicester game was Theo showing us what genuine quality players can bring to the table. A standard of player that has to be the norm now when we buy.

So what's yours?

I’ve been to two cup finals and we won both. The 1966 game had to be the most exciting, despair followed by joy. The 1995 game was very rewarding in that we beat United. I lived in Manchester for four years and can’t stand United nor their supporters most of whom were not born or ever lived in Manchester.

we were only behind a point from 4th with a game in hand, it was like everton were really going to break the proverbial ceiling from there on and for the first time you could really sense genuine optimism and euphoria instead of forcing yourself to say "yeah we can do it" just so you could maintain a faux sense of optimism

oh how wrong we were.

Blue Mike are you suggesting that in order to support a team you must have been born in the town or lived there? I have never lived in Liverpool. Newport, Runcorn, Blackpool, Accrington, Madrid, Berlin, and Newport again, but never Liverpool. I reckon I have spent more money supporting Everton than fans who live local as every home game was an away game for me.

No I am not saying that you should be born in a city to support that team although I am a little old fashioned in that regards. The people I am talking about are those who are born in a place that has a team but offer no financial support to that team. They say however, that they support a big team like United but very really if ever go to watch United or have never lived in the Manchester area. I have more time for a supporter of a team like Huddersfield who go to the games and support that club regardless of the fact that they will probably not win anything.
I obviously realize that things have changed since my youth. Then you supported a team from your home town or one which you lived in. Now because of television and internet support is more global in nature. I am an old dinosaur and soon their will be non of us left.

Many things come into it but the success of a team is high on the list. I am from the Wirral and used to go to Tranmere games Friday nite and Everton Saturday. But Everton were my team. I moved to Gloucestershire then Devon and Cornwall starting 1980. I have continued to go to occasional games with the South West Blues. My mates down here from Plymouth etc are die hard Blues. Started supporting in 80's in the main. They are as loyal as any scouser. Weird tho it is. So locality can be a reason, but not necessarily.

I understand that delay, the people I am talking about are the glory hunters.

Blue I remember that game, wasn’t that the one Neville threw 2 heavy takes in one after the other and one of them on Ronaldo? The whole ground picked up, stood up and roared right through the whole second half. That was some game.
