Blues abroad needing to explain why they are Blues...

[Curtis]

it's probably an easier task then why we're the toffees even when you know why

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Well we are the classier club and we have the nicer colours as well.

For a club that sees itself as a superpower, one league title and two champions league wins in the last thirty four years is not that great a record.

My Uncle used to have a season ticket for the Main Stand but would give it away for the home derby. He wouldn't even watch the RS. With that commitment I had no choice. At home in Valencia I just tell locals we are the Espanol of English football.

I have a very pleasant life...I wake each day looking forward to the day ahead. But too comfortable an existence can make a person soft. The disappointments Everton provide me are a foil to that. And that's why I'll always support them... and have turned all my children into Evertonians as well. Toughen them up a bit.

I wore an Everton jersey to work this week (Halloween thing). Spent the day explaining that Cazoo is not a sports team.

I’m born in Sydney, have no family connections to Liverpool and no real good reason other than Tim Cahill being my gateway to the drug that is EFC

Now my dads ears perk up when the scores get read out on the radio waiting to hear the blues results

He’s given me lots in my life mainly surrounding sports, supporting the Bunnies, cricket, golf, motor racing but I’m proud that I’ve managed to give him something back in return UTFT

I see what you try to do, but I don't think Espanol is a good comparison. For many reasons, one because Espanol have won nowt.

You got ALL that from him and then gave him EFC in return! FFS.

Those that don't understand,need no explanation.

Agreed, Valencia are probably a better comparison.

That Bramley Moore Sunday space thing has a bad ming basically saying all wools have ruined Everton.

Anyone regardless of where they're from are as much as a blue as anyone else.

It was a lighthearted joke originally which has now escalated to people feeling intimated and not welcome.

I think “ out of towners” is the term they prefer these days

Sounds like the kind of uncle every child should have.

If that's an American thing then feel for me trying to explain All Blacks (rugby union) and All Whites (proper football).

Nope the word wool with other profanities is what they use.
