3 generations of blues going to wembley for the first time tomorrow, sorting stuff out made me realise that while a win would be great, its not really about that. Dreamt for years of taking the lad to wembley, he is going with uncles, cousins, dad and grandad, and so proud.
A casual united fan at work asked why am i so obsessed with us when we dont win stuff.....?
while this is anoying enough tonhe asked, i wanted to try and explain.
My answer was, i see Everton as a representation of the my family, and the city of my heritage. So if and when ppl talk down or have a pop, it feels like my family is getting ridiculed.
Its old fashioned I know, but most of my values and principles have come from football, and i take those into my every day life.
He got it then!!
I know thats deep lads sorry, ive had a few but im now looking forward to our day.
