I'm sorry but this post above deserves so many more laughs, what's the matter with you all?

Are you sure you quoted the correct post?

I know it’s a distasteful analogy but I’ve used it so many times .

Being an Evertonian is absolutely akin to being in an abusive relationship . At my age I can remember the good times but it’s been almost exclusively pain since . I constantly think they’ve changed , they promise they have and even though everyone tells me they’ll never change I think that they’ve turned the corner they never have . Even My more recent ‘happy ‘ memories are momentary and stand out as flashes of joy in the stark and painful years between them . We celebrate things people in normal relationships see as the minimum expectation, we get so happy others can’t understand but they’ve not lived through the pain.

Those moments of joy though , we celebrate them like they’re the last time we may ever smile because we worry they are but boy do we celebrate .

Optimistic to disillusioned then apathy
Then a win starts the cycle again

So I agree with this but additionally I’ve also grown to hate Everton as well , it’s a weird mental state and I’m not sure I could adequately explain it with a gun to my head .

It seems like in England, every club’s fans hate their own club to some degree. I don’t know if it’s investing too much time and effort into following it, or a seemingly easy game actually being very hard, or if it’s part of the British culture to just be dour and self loathing. Not sure any other country has this particular relationship with football.

To be honest I’d love it if we lost every week really, that way I could still profess my love for the club and be the massivist of massive bloos

None. I support Real Madrid but like to slum it with you lot. Bit like that bird that Jarvis Cocker sings about in Common People.

So your the lad walking about town with a Real Madrid shirt and TAA on the back ?

Can you wonder past castle grey skull with that on and document it ? The fume would eclipse even what we’ve seen on here !!

The older you get you realise that you hate the r/s more than you love Everton which is counterbalanced with hating Everton as much as you love them.
