    What would you rather do,

    moan about how bad it's going with our club and predict a relegation battle?
    or
    get behind your team and support them and try to help them climb the table?

    join the people trying to get rid of Moyes?
    or
    let the club handle this and get behind and cheer Moyes up, inspire him to inspire the lads?

    be scared about our clubs debt getting bigger?
    or
    have faith, knowing that our great club is for sale and everybody is doing something about debts?

    Expect that we're going to see our squad play bad football?
    or
    Trust Moyes and his assistant figuring out a way to dismandle any team that cross us our way and cheer the lads up in every opportunity you get, trust the squad, hoping that the ones with good forms will play?

    Every energy you release contributes to all the club is surrounded with, the lads that are surrounded with, Moyes which is surrounded with and all the fans are surrounded with. You need to believe to help the club. Have faith my brothers and sisters. Forever love always. Come on you blues.

    I like your positive attitude. Win or lose I love my team. They may not be perfect, they may frustrate me, but they are my team...they are my heart.

    My mood seems to change depending on how Everton are doing... probably explains why I've been a miserableCunt for nearly 3 years

    lvdlit: good post. 

    when times are tough you've gotta get behind the club, thats what real fans do, not on its back moaning all the time about the squad, the manager, the owner.

    that attitude is a waste of time and only harms team spirit.

    that's what sets us aside from other fans, doesn't matter how badly we are playing (and lets face it, it's at the mo) the fans and the club are one, we are the peoples club.

    its been a shame watching the games on TV and not hearing anybody singing 36K+ fan just sat there and none can find there voice, then i use to go to goodison i always left end the of the end with horse voice barely able to speak.

    Don't know if any of you reading this sit in GS end, but please start getting vocal, the players look to us for support and backing. 

    "it's a grand old team to play for, it's a grand old team to support..." you know the rest ;)

    But that's not altogether true nowadays is it? The BU for example , like them or not, are still Everton fans and quite obviously not 'at one' with elements of the club (ie the Board).

    It could also be argued that years of complacency over poor results has actually allowed us to slip into the mediocrity we are seeing this season. It's one thing supporting your team, but surely you would agree that if people are not happy with the direction the team is taking they should voice their concerns and not just follow blindly?

    I'm not a supporter of the BU because they royally fooked up their position with the taping thing, but I understand some of their frustration and their refusal to suffer it in silence. Some of our performances these past couple of seasons have been truly shocking, and the rot had set in way before the BU were on the scene. There comes a point where for all the support the players get it is their actual responsibility (and that of the manager) to perform to their best on the pitch. I've not seen much of that consistently for quite a while now.

    it depends what you call poor results. did you seriously expect us to be challenging for anything? i am happy that we are no longer the relegation fodder that we used to be every season.

    I was hoping we would we competing for European placings, yes. And why not? We were up there and qualifying not too long ago.

    And I always hope we get a decent run in the domestic cups, but I can only recall a couple in perhaps the last decade. As for the relegation fights, I will always be grateful to DM for getting us away from them, but the way we are playing at the moment does not convince me that those days will not be returning shortly. The issue in this thread was that of getting behind the team and give them unquestioning support regardless; the point I am making is that performances on the pitch should encourage support as much as the other way around.

    I fully accept we are not good enough to win everything and that doesn't concern me much; it's the way of things. But what I do take issue with is players not giving their all on a regular basis, and managerial tactics that do not seem to work too well and yet are repeated week after week. We give the team and manager support when times are tough, sure - we'd be poor fans if we didn't - but how many times are we expected to keep turning up and watching awful matches and performances without letting our doubts be known? You just have to be at Goodision to know something is wrong, the crowds are so quiet these days compared with years ago.
