why

Because of them hilariously thinking Koeman took a sideways step to join us based on them managing to stay in the Premier League for an entire three years. Two years later and they've reverted to type as a yoyo club.

i see. wouldn't call them a yoyo club though (not gonna lie, I thought they were but looked at their season history)

Been in the Premier League since 2012. Before that, were only in the Premier League from before 2005. 

Yoyo club is more like West Brom - between 2002-03 and 2010-11 they were in the Premier League for 5 seasons and Championship 4 times. Up and down with more regularity.

Tbf, as poorly as they've been run in the last couple of seasons, I'm sure if Southampton had hundreds of millions of pounds to throw around they could at least salvage a mid-table position too. 

[Dr. Gonzo 4,808]

The one time I want Everton to win (because I want WBA to have another great escape) and yet I still remain gutted that Southampton didn't score in that spell where it was pinging around in their box.

Guess I don't care too much about WBA.

[Bluebird Hewitt 733]

Want Southampton to win as the Jacks will be shitting themselves on Tuesday.

[RandoEFC 4,906]

0-1.

Our players look like they don't want to win in case they save Allardyces job. Hope most of them fuck off with him this summer the shithouses.

[Stan 11,584]

Yoshida off! 

Could be a huge moment in the match and their survival efforts...

[Dr. Gonzo 4,808]

What a save from McCarthy.

[Stan 11,584]

Omg.

4 mins added time. 95th minute and Davies scores via a deflection. 

[Inverted 1,375]

This is the most Everton thing I've ever seen.

[Dr. Gonzo 4,808]

Well that was a bad mistake for Southampton. But that's good for WBA and I want them to stay up for the story.

I agree with him and I don't know how to describe why tbh, but that was a very Everton ending to that match.

Blowing hundreds of millions just to hang around mid-table dicking over less financially-powerfully clubs around the relegation zone.

[RandoEFC 4,906]

The most Everton thing ever would be if we were 1-0 up in a game we needed a win to escape relegation then conceded an equaliser in the 6th of four minutes added time, not vice versa.

Ah yes because Everton have been renowned over the years for spending big money. Were you born two years ago?

[RandoEFC 4,906]

Also "hundreds of millions" Lol. I forgot Lukaku left on a free last summer.
