1984 and all that .....

[nomorechang]

Forgive me for maybe being a bit optimistic but for those of us who have very vivid memories of the Everton team from 1983/4 season could maybe latch on to my train of thought .Back at the start of that season we were not playing very well , losing lots of League games we maybe should have won and the events of the following season where just not imagined , Yet we had players such as Reid , Southall , Ratcliffe , Gray , Mountfield , Stevens , Sharp , Heath , and Sheedy , but these legends were just promising players mainly and were yet to gel until later in the season , The 'Kendall Out ' campaign was in full flow , (although Howard now reckons that it was his ex wife who started that  ) , And then along comes that FA Cup tie against Oxford and Kevin Brock's famous backpass that transformed our season . From that point on , we were virtually unbeatable , ended the season with the FA Cup win v Watford and then the next season we took all comers , I went to games thinking ' how many are we going to win by ? '  , not even contemplating defeat . My point is ....Could this year be our 1984 ? Could we finish this season by winning most of our remaining games and maybe a Europa Cup and take that form into next season ? If you'd asked any of us that question 3 months ago the guys in white coats would come knocking ... Now ? ...Well you'll have to make your own minds up on that one ...  As far as Everton are concerned I've always been the eternal optimist ... so Why not ?

Id like to hope so.... for many Evertonians all we have ever had is the bitter disappointment perked up with a few sweet moments.... I hate listening to my dad and his mates telling me stories of what these years were like and hope I get to experience some of them for myself...

I love the club and love the clubs history but can you imagine the hysteria at the club if things were to change for the better...

I still think as a club were a long way off off achieving anything like winning the premiership but I don't see why a few cup wins should be out of reach.....

Everton as a club just need to be recognised for what they achieve.. and without a big investor that is the only way we will attract better players.....

I hope those glory days return sooner rather than later

I love you for that post. Such a wonderful positive outlook on NSNO should be rewarded with a user of the month reward. Haha.

I'm daring to dream at the moment!  Just wait until the summer transfer window comes and we're all depressed again.
