‘Officers’ lol

People seem to enjoy their rage. I just get Linehan vibes from it now- it’s genuinely weird and uncomfortable. Hope they’re all okay and all of us can move on.

Prediction: Whatever happens with Everton over the next month and couple of years, this somewhat enthusiastic rivalry that lots seems to be enjoying- if not manufacturing- online will fizzle out and be all but forgotten in a few years time. No such thing will ever happen to Sunderland, however much we pretend it has to irritate them.

Both stay where they are.

Went onto Ian Cusack’s blog earlier. Is everything okay with him? If anybody knows him it might be worth checking in.

Things you didn’t expect to read in January.

Haha, Everton are so fucked.

Looking on their forum, it seems that Leeds are considered the ones to catch now. No idea how feasible it is.

It’s also the monomania. We talk about the thread dedicated to us, well, the numbers are astonishing but every forum has a thread like that about their rivals. But conversation about us bleeds into everything they talk about, usually by the end of the page. They’ll be talking about a reserve keeper or something and yet only ever one or two posts away from some deranged comment aimed at Newcastle United

Likewise, after years of hoping Liverpool lose pretty much every game they play, I’ll be cheering them on today

There’s been a sly rewrite of history on this one. They act as though they were going for the league themselves that year. They never were.

‘Be nice if they could get a fourth..’ Fucking hell, look at us

I’m listening online. I know what you mean- I’m sort of forcing it. ‘Maybe if I pace the floor a bit.’

Right leg in, left leg out…

Right leg in, right leg out…

Away fans breaking out the old songbook, Shola and Colo chants. I like that.

Worrying

Harsh on Bellamy

You tease!

Eeeh God if Who do they have today? I could check but just tell me please

Leeds are surely the ‘getting a bit nervous’ fans?

We always seem to lose there in beautiful weather. Have we ever even played them in less than perfect conditions?

We’re all naturally circumspect about money now it’s us because a) you don’t want to sound arrogant and b) football does occasionally have its own peculiar narratives that perhaps players don’t follow, maybe. But, come on Donny- you’ve fucked that one, lad

Everton will piss promotion, we heard the same dire predictions when we went down in 2009

He said something very similar the other day about ‘pretty patterns’ Is he not a bit young to be talking like one of my dad’s dickhead mates?
