ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

I have to disagree with you there.
Absolutely. I only said the rivals. I found myself really rooting for Leicester.

In some games you will pick a side you want to win. I don't tend to watch a game where I have little or no interest in either side tho.

You'd think they'd actually hold off arranging the victory parade until they actually, oh I don't know, WIN the Cup!?!?

Twice they've done that now
 
A quick word on the whole "Wools, Boo" theme that's revealing itself in this thread to a certain extent

It'll be interesting seeing the reaction I get with my thoroughly non scouse accent if we ever start winning things again

At the moment people don't really mind because, of all the reasons to support Everton, it clearly isn't for the glory

If we start getting some success though, I think that may change a bit, especially if I attend big games like Finals and Semi Finals at the expense of Scousers (It won't matter that I pay for my season ticket, love the Blues and acquire my ticket fairly and above board, some will see it as me taking away a slot from someone local who 'deserves' it more than I do)

The fact I grew up a 45 minute drive from the city and have sat through relegation battles and the horror that was Walter's reign, won't mean much in the heat of the moment to some people

It does worry me. I hope as a fan base we can be more tolerant of out of towners

At the end of the day, if you're a big club like Everton, it's only natural that people from all over the world will want to support you. Just look at all the Scots, Irish, Welsh, American and Australian supporters we have on the very forum for starters. We should embrace that more I think. Clubs like Man United and Liverpool take pride in being globally popular, maybe it's time we start seeing the positives of being a global brand instead of dwelling on the negatives?

WOOL
 
I'm looking at the RAWK preview to the Europa game and wow. What a giant pile of steaming, badly written self flagellating offal.

It's a wonder they don't all sit in the stands giving each other reacharounds.
