Nil Satis Nisi Optimum

Several Evertonians have said over the past few weeks that they may as well bring their boots to Goodison Park for the opening day clash with Blackburn on the off chance that they'll get a game - and why not?

A number of blues posting on message boards across the net have decided to actually take their boots, and invite you to do the same in a tongue in cheek protest against the lack of signings at Everton this summer.

Traditional forms of protest have often been discounted by Everton fans in fear of disrupting the team on the pitch, and fear of being viewed as "kopites" but a tongue in cheek approach appears to be widely supported by those asked - with many Blues already pledging to bring their boots to the match.

Imagine the selection headache Mr Moyes would have if 30,000 stocky centre halves turned up......discuss this on the forums
