Right, and it is a shame that my father loves The Beatles and not our local Rune Larsen ? Mate, it is all about quality and ass.
It sure is mate. I'm a norwegian, and I've supported the Toffees since the 80's. Like I said in my first post. I always feel very welcome when I come to Liverpool. I've been to Goodison a number of times, and traveling to away games all over England and Europe. I've made lots of friends, and everyone think its great that Everton has supporters in Norway (not only redshite supporters)
All you norwegians that cant accpet that norwegians support Everton must realize that english football is very big all over the world. So wake up lads and accept that some of us support Everton and other british clubs instead of norwegian temas!
Read this:
"Evertonians are born, not manufactured. We do not choose, we are chosen. Those who understand needs no explanation, those who don't....don't matter!"
Lets leave there!
I'll be at Goodison for the Arsenal game and the Boro game at newyersday!
I'm up for the ride.

I don't know what you guyes are thinking about, but is there any supporters who are manufactured? I don't believe it is, mate. All I'm saying is that a norwegian evertonian isn't any more special then a norwegian City fan, or a norwegian Newcastle supporter. Just because you don't support Liverpool og Manchester United doesnt mean you lads are special in any way. Why not just support your local club? Fair enough with all you sheep farmers who live in the middle of nowhere and don't have a club nearby, but for the rest there is no excuse.
Many say that norwegian football was so awful if we go back 20 - 30 years, so thats why people rather supported english teams. But in my opinion all the people who did that made our football even worse. Every league and every club needs support from their locals, and Brann has had the bigges average attendance in the Norwegian league until 3 or 4 years ago when Rosenborg (higher capasity now and with a shitload of league trophys in a row) whent past us.
We got this silly Englesen from Bergen who won "supporter" of the year (don't know who choose him, or if he was voted upon. But still, he was in the papers over here when we drawed Everton. Talking about who long he has been a Evertonian (since the 1970). The man hasn't been to more than a 105 matches or so in all these years, and he is like the godfather of all evertonians in Norway. Its pathetic...
Well. You lads have a good afternoon
