Everton to win a trophy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They are probably the only team going that underachieves more than we do - at some point something will click and they will get over the line - kind of like I hope it does with us
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What’s more annoying is they have spent fortunes on players but haven’t won a trophy since 1995, have never played CL football, can’t remember the last time they even made a domestic cup final, are bang average year in year out and yet don’t kop for any of the flack we do about lack of silverware, underachieving etc. Us and Everton were level as clubs in the late 00’s, but since 2010 we’ve left them on our dust on and off the pitch - but they get such a free ride it’s unreal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly, I don’t understand it either, we are seen as the big under achievers and bottlers, yet Everton would kill to have the last quarter of a century we have had.
Their wage to revenue figures are amongst the highest in the league also at 84/85%, they are not very sustainable at all but the owner seems happy chucking more and more in but is constrained by FFP.
Some of their signings have been pure insanity - £50m on Siggy (purely football related at this point) £35m on Iwobi, £20m on Moise Kean, the other Keane, Klaasen, Sandro, Walcott, Gomes.
I bet they win another trophy before we do though, we just seem cursed. If West Ham won one again before we do then I am emigrating.

It's not that they get a free ride, it's that no-one cares about them.

Yeah maybe that’s it, I will be devastated if Tom Davies wins something with Everton and Kane wins nada with Spurs - would be the ultimate insult
