Bill Bryson

[zirc]

He starts off saying Everton is Liverpool's best kept secret, but that you won't find any blues fans in the city itself.
We then head towards a game to the oldest ground in the world.where he was directed to a seat where he froze his butt off.
The atmosphere veers from grumpy to suicidal, with not one person in the 40000 actually enjoying themselves. It's very funny, I'm flattered that he went, but Jesus H Christ we'll be living this down for years

He's not entirely wrong there. I've been to matches where it felt like I was doing penance rather than having an afternoon out.

Oh. Well apart from the bold bit he's spot on there.

He must be a blue then.

To be fair if it was last season it probably was crap.

Still I'll be having words.

It's the bold bit I'll be having words about.

I'll send my dad an email to send to him basically saying 'perhaps someone who has no idea about football should stear away from making comments like that'.

I'll post it here.

'directed to a seat where he froze his butt off'

Soz abar our lack of heated seats.

Did Osman/Kone/Naismith come on as sub ? That would give the "grumpy" . If he was on the GOT match thread, too , that would give him the "suicidal"

I always knew not having massive flags in Gwladys Street would be our downfall.

Probably best I get my spelling right if I'm emailing an author!

 

[Groucho]

@ijjysmith Its just that, if you're gonna email an author, don't give them any high ground lol

 

[ijjysmith]

Pardon me,but who is Bill Bryson?

World famous travel writer mate.

Pardon me,but who is Bill Bryson?

American author who I almost used to like.

Evertonian, apparently. Although on this evidence perhaps Toffeeweb should revise and update their list of blues.

If he doesn't make a public apology before the ManU game and invest in the club I'm holding you personally responsible.

If it was one of the games where we lost at home to a relegation candidate last season, I imagine the grumpy atmosphere was an understatement.
