Another example that can be added to the other plastic, media red bias thread. We are not alone in this. The red bias in the media is all pervasive and it started in the late 70's, when glory hunters parents told their offspring. To armchair support that lot. "Shut up and stop crying over your weetabix, up the reds, we're magic, got ya Emlyn on ya back" Fandom, shallow and everyone wants to be a winner la.
I know a lot of reds, proper reds, they're embarrassed by the glory seekers. Fans who ride the tide but would never set foot in the city. Knowledgeable supporter reds who used to go to Goodison just like Blues goin' to Anfield, when the city was everything. Halcyon days that will never return.
It happened to Utd as well, in their glory years and the wheelybin fans are despised there as well. Chelsea came next, City etc. I remember well, how my Marxist sociology teacher impressed on us to deconstruct. The bias is hidden under the words. He never mentioned it happens on all sides and everywhere. Unfortunately unbiased reporting has gone the way of the dodo. Now it's all opinion pieces. It cuts both ways.
There's one thing about Everton, we can be trampled on, ridiculed, derided. However, it's a compliment. They fear us. Our history demonstrates that. We are a giant, ignored at your peril.
Swings and roundabouts. Success is transitory. There can't be an article on the lot across the park unless we are referenced, even when we are the main subject, the plastics comment underneath. It betrays their impotence cause real reds couldn't be arsed.
The opinion piece is hollow, fandom in it's basest term, he's a brand lemming. He'll never know what is means to be a supporter. And when the snake hits, he'll look at the league table and tell his offspring, eat ya weetabix son, get ya Richalison kit on. Everton are gonna win the league again.
