Giving up on them

[LeeCarsley]

I've been fighting leukemia for the past couple of months and more and more I see myself in Everton. A tired old dog who shows up every week for his beating, just passing time until the end. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to be associated with this team. I scratched an itch as a kid in the 60s and now I'm stuck here. Oh well.

I was their in 94 v Wimbledon because I really cared, I just don't have that same feeling at the moment, they have drained all my enthusiasm out of me.

"Relegation"

"Who gives a toss?"


It's like the first side of a Joy Division album.

At the end of the day, Everton are Everton fans. Managers and players are employees. Only a select few of them feel/felt it like us and those are the ones we consider heroes.

This lot deserve to be forever connected with taking down a great club.

I know it's sacrilege to even think such things but I am finding it increasingly harder to give a damn about this club.

It's brought me nought but abject misery for most of my adult life so why should it be down to me to somehow rescue it from the abyss now?

If a dog, a job, a car or even a wife had battered your head for 30 odd years as much as Everton have you would have walked away ages ago and restarted your life with something new.

I think it's high time we ditched this feckless, useless drain on our resources and our mental health and just let it put itself to sleep permanently.

Haha, superb post. Saying it like it is, pulling no punches ?

It’s getting the piss taken and abused by mates who support other teams I’m dreading. My best Mate is from Leeds and I’ve given him dogs abuse over the years. I’m just hoping that if we go down, they accompany us, otherwise he’ll justifiably make my life hell. I’m not sure how I’ll deal with it.
Otherwise I couldn’t give two hoots for our players. The club I do care about, but most of all it’s my own pride that will suffer.

I mean, don't you deserve it?

I mean, don't you deserve it?

I do indeed. The fun I’ve had over the years is going to backfire big style.
I’ve given it out though, so I guess I’ll have to take it….somehow

All the best to you in your battle Sir. It might not seem it right now, but you were lucky enough to see the club in its greatest ever era whilst still in your prime.

That doesn’t sound very sporting, Billy!

with good humour...in a sporting kind of way!

 

[PKwalnuts]

I won't be giving up on them.
In 94 a load of players did terrible for us and we stayed up by the skin our teeth.
The following season we won the FA Cup with a load of the same players.

Don't give up.

Mosh, Mosh Will Tear Us Apart, Again

Edit: actually the first verse is totally Everton

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads

What's this Everton thing you speak of?
