Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Val P]

Hate to burst your bubble but we lost the last time I wen

Kev this was just an occasional visit in the Old Lady's final season for me.

Honestly I don't know how you and @Val P can watch that rubbish every other week.

As I jogged up to Kirkdale I consoled myself that the decision to give up my ST was correct.

Bloody sad the depths to which Everton have been brought.

Forgive my middle of the night can’t sleep ramblings. I have given this a lot of thought - why do I go? Is it a habit, is it hope that one day the stars will align and we’ll have the perfect combination of a decent manager, a half decent team and the bit of luck that escapes us so often. Does the few moments of pure joy when we score and win a game make up for the weeks of utter dross? Is it because as a so called supporter of a team I feel the need not to be just a fair weather fan? I just don’t know.
I know that I go because of my husband and that he would be disappointed if I didn’t and I feel like I’m supporting him, and I enjoy the time that it gives us to spend with our son. I know that this season I have almost given up but the desire to have a place at Bramley Moore has kept me going. I enjoy the friendships and the people I have met because of Everton (being on here being a great example of this), and especially the laughs and memories it gives me.
I just hope that one day soon I can say I go because the football is amazing, but being an Evertonian is so much more than that, and going to the game and supporting my team is just what I have to do.
