2ND PLACE! 2ND PLACE!! 2ND PLACE!!!
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I can go back to my regular negative Nancy self: We cant sustain this! Our squad doesn't have enough depth! We can't possibly contend for a Champions League spot with the little money we have spent!
Now that I've gotten that off my chest we can talk Everton news and links. Needless to say, expectations are sky high. People seem to be happy. All is well in the world. People are commenting on our form. Some people are even saying that we can make the Champions League.
The season is long. We have gone on good runs many times throughout the years. We have also gone on ice cold steaks (usually to begin the season) many times throughout the years. People need to keep calm. Moyes usually prepares the team well and keeps everyone grounded in these types of situations. Hopefully he can continue that trend. Remember Blackpool a couple of years ago? We don't want to end up like that (I know it's a ridiculous comparison, but still).
On to the links:
People are loving Mirallas at the moment. Almost every article is about how well we have played and how awesome Mirallas is. Just check these out:
