Ok, thanks mate.
Yeah, the PR stuff at the time of him leaving was certainly Anfield instigated, but I really don’t see it as a race thing. They hate Owen for the way he left and then moved to United, but nobody says anything about that.
I’m just not comfortable about banding the racism accusation round when it’s not warranted. And that’s any situation. It weakens and cheapens the whole putting a stop to racism agenda.
That lot used to accuse us of being racist in the 90s. Them and us have pockets of [Poor language removed] from the 80s and 90s era, but on the whole it isn’t a racist city. It’s like that [Poor language removed] they come out with about “Everton wives”. All just unsubstantiated nonsense and more a derogatory jibe at our own people. While we disagree on football, we are one and the same generally at the end of the day.
