Given that a large number of Everton fans DO think it I don't know why you're so surprised people were immediately cynical.
I don't speak for other Everton fans and though I know many of them not one I have come across has claimed we would have won three European Cups.
However if you want my honest and considered view I would say we would likely have won it once but who knows beyond that. The honest view of most Everton supporters I know is that we would have took some stopping in 86 and whilst the 88 team would have been weaker as it unfolded the ban resulted in a number of players and importantly, Howard Kendall, moving on, and had he stayed and maintained his managerial ability at Goodison, again, who knows, we will never know.
The post of snukr wasn't cynical, it was nothing other than a pathetic and unnecessary attempt at a wind up.
Similarly if you cannot see the joke being spun by me in response to a post from somewhere else then there is something deeply wrong with your understanding of other people's posts.

Agreed. It was one thing when the old Cup Winners Cup was in existence, but not sure why it still happens with the Europa League.
I agree and have said so a few times in threads in the past.
Take Wigan for example, they will get a place in Europe despite only beating one team from the top flight.
Wait til they've actually got that place before criticising that.

I am not a fan of teams dropping into the Europa League from the Champions League, but I can understand why it happens though.
