Radio Sport, this afternoon in NZ, is wall-to-wall Liverpool smooching. As an Evertonian it’s annoying, because there was nothing like this amount of air-time dedicated to Everton ahead of our games. For instance, we had a treble on this year: doing a home and away double over Huddersfield, Newcastle and Stoke...it attracted little attention. Yet some insignificant, non domestic game (played in Kiev FFS!), has so much hoopla surrounding it.
I garner solace from the reality that Everton is the team that the biased, kopite infested media so desperately want to keep from the spotlight. I know, in my heart-of-heart, that WE rule Merseyside...and some no-mark Milk Cup -lite competition can distract from that.
There’s a great quote from Blue Bill’s masterpiece play ‘Blood Brothers’ that puts everything into perspective...and, as I said, Evertonians around the globe, have so much to thank Mr Kenwright for In his reminding the football world of our successes:
Stoke, Huddersfield, Newcastle...we beat them each TWICE...in ONE season!!
Beat THAT Liverpool
