In fairness, I always avoid the Derby matches now.
Foregone conclusion.
It's like watching a film that you've seen a dozen times before. My nephew is 12 in October and in his entire lifetime Everton have won 1 league match against the RS. One.
They have won nowt in years.
It is almost thirty years since they won the Title.
It is getting on fifteen years since the Istanbul fluke.
And yet never have I felt a gulf as great as this between the two clubs.
Not even during their golden decade when they were all conquering, between 1976 and 1985.
