Another Poor Season?

So the Blues face Newcastle in our final game of the season this Sunday and once again it feels as though it's been another poor and unsuccessful campaign. Every year, our poor start to the season comes back to haunt us as our final push just isn't good enough.

Granted, this season has had its highs such as another Wembley visit, a few big wins over City and Chelsea but is that really enough for such a prestige club like Everton? It's becoming the same every season now and until we get a bit of investment I am afraid that it could be like this for a while. This season again we have missed out on Europe, lost in the FA Cup Semi, lost all three Merseyside Derby's and could possibly not even finish seventh unless we beat Newcastle. And what worries me is the fact that a large number of Evertonians are happy and pleased at this season as we may well finish above Liverpool. I for one always want us to finish above them, but I don't believe that finishing in 7th position without any silverware is successful.

But, with Jelavic looking very promising, a possible permanent Pienaar deal on the horizon and another couple of signings in the summer maybe, could next year be an improvement? Every year we hope for the same but are disappointed by the poor start. But personally, I believe we are just a couple of new signings away from challenging the champions league positions. As long as we don't go selling our best players (Fellaini, Baines, Heitinga and the likes) and get a few people in, next season could be our year.
