Hi Toffee Lovers!

1. Part of the contingent watching Landon Donovan (LD) at Everton.
2. I generally stand with the LA Riot Squad at Galaxy games.
3. Collegiate/Semi Professional player and youth coach for 30 years (now retired).
4. Fourth generation Scot via Nova Scotia
5. Part time journalist, covered Galaxy for first two years of existence.
6. Currently working on a PhD in Nor Cal.

I've spent several hours reading posts and I really enjoy the insightful way Toffee supporters relate to their team. Nice to see both passion and sophistication and a dose of realism. Good stuff!

Steer clear of the tennis threads mate, I'm pretty sure we're gonna break out the keyboard piledrivers in a minute.

Welcome.

Thanks. Going to have to get past the "Goat" part of your screen name. The Galaxy arch rivals (share the same stadium) are Chivas USA. Chivas means "goat" in Spanish.

Ok. I'm good. Got it out of my system.

Welcome to GOT, Catamount.

As a sports journalist, what's your stance on pineapple on pizza? Sorry, but someone has to ask that all important question.

That is an interesting question because at the Rose Bowl (the Galaxy's first ground) they had sushi and sandwich fixings most of the time. I haven't been in the press box at Victoria Street.

I personally like pineapple on pizza. Whether I would mention this in the press box is another matter entirely. Certain journalists seem to set the norms. In LA that used to be Grahme Jones.

Nowadays I get to hang out with fans and say whatever I like.

Aargh, wrong answer, but still welcome anyway.

Of course I also like pizza without pineapple. In fact, I like pizza that tastes good and stays down when I eat it.
