Is it possible to fall out of love with your football team?
Heretofore that thought would never have occurred to me.
I had my heart broken a time or two in my younger days and thought at the time I could never love any other woman, one in particular.
But after a while I stopped thinking about her and eventually was able to be in her company without it setting my nerves on edge.....in fact we have remained good friends down the decades and occasionally go out as a foursome with our respective spouses.
In short....I fell out of love with her.
And I am sure most posters round these parts have fallen out of love with someone they never thought they would have.
But Everton.
Right now I hate everything about the club.
I hate Koeman, I hate his brother, I hate Moshiri, I hate half the players.
The only reason I don’t hate Bill is because I know him personally and he was always good company on the ESCLA trains in the last decades of the old century and he always paid the tax from the station up to whatever ground we were at oop north and because he often gave us comps for West End shows.
I will go on Sunday but I am not looking forward to it, it is almost like the way I used to dread going on a date with a girl friend I once liked but now did not want to see her but felt too gallant to bin off.
Happen I should address this post to Dear Abbey
Yours faithfully, Muddled in Melling.
