Thanks EB. Used to live up in Liverpool, and still good friends with several Evertonians. One of my favourite games was going to Widnes to see Everton reserves Vs Villa reserves - Ross Barkley was playing for your lot along with some new signing whose name escapes me. Anyway, proper good times with your lot in the bar after :D

Best of luck best season against everyone except us. Genuinely fond of your lot

Thanks EB, much appreciated. Always thought of Everton as a proper club like us. Please beat Bournemouth just in case we need that.

All the best.

Thanks EB. Don’t mind Everton, like us one of the old traditional clubs. Used to share a house at uni with an Evertonian from Birkenhead back in the 90s, sound lad, one of my favourite ever away games was when we beat you in the QF of the cup in Feb 2000, always liked Kevin sheedy and of course there’s the Andy Gray link. Smash Bournemouth for us on Sunday please.

Where 'hate' is concerned there's usually a big difference between online and normal people. Most proper supporters of both clubs have been fine in my experience, and if it wasn't for us Everton wouldn't exist. Ask me for further details.

Can I have details please?

When the original ten clubs met to discuss the formation of the Football League, nine of them wanted Bootle but William McGregor held that Everton had greater potential. McGregor being McGregor, he got his way by an overwhelming minority and the rest is 'istory.

If he'd let Bootle in would we have had the Everton/Liverpool split over Anfield in 1892 and the founding of the Red Scouse? Football history could have been very different indeed.

Should have let Bootle in instead of West Brom.

Thanks Blue.  That means a lot.  Best football mate I ever had was an Evertonian.  Lost his eyesight in old age but still went to all the Goodison games.  A Prince of the terraces.

Excuse the intrusion folks but I, like many Evertonians, believe that the EPL needs Aston Villa in it. A proper club with proper supporters. A heartfelt ‘best of wishes and good luck’ to you folks for Sunday’s game...go and slap Moyes and his chirpy,cockney eel-chewers...


Top man! Everton are a proper proper football club with quality support. Our last game of the season in 1990 at Goodison was a legendary day.

That might have come across as badly phrased. I meant it positively.

I’m always pleased to see southern clubs relegated and midlands/northern clubs promoted...I mean, come on...Bournemouth, Watford, Brighton, Norwich in the top flight?
Just to nit-pick a little - Norwich is farther north than Brum.
