No is the simple answer. I live just outside of London so it'd be easy for my kids to support someone more local, but they are all Evertonians and happily hurl abuse at their Man Utd Supporting Granddad and anyone else that dare mock us.

If he argues the point get him adopted.

Agreed. Aged 6, one morning i once thought i might have a choice. Nottingham Forest were great at the time. My father's response was to fill a small plastic bag with clothes and toys, tie it to a brush handle and send me on my way... Being quite a headstrong little chap i decided if thats the way he wanted it, then off i'd go... (to sit up a tree in the local park as it happened). Well after nightfall my Godfather appeared with 2 tickets for me and him to go to the match (Dukla Prague i think?). My first night game as an Evertonian. i was hooked forever.

Now i've got 2 nephews roughly the same age as i was and they don't live anywhere near Liverpool. When they first went to school they were the only Evertonians and got teased mercilessly. So we started taking them to the match aged 4/5 and they quickly became hooked. Their little friends were jealous cos they never went to watch their team. Both nephews now have a few school friends who are also now Evertonians because they've been to Goodison and had a great time. I smile every time when i see all the kids in their street playing football with their Everton kits on.

My advice ... take him to as many Everton games as you can. He'll get the bug soon enough.

Speaking of nephews I was made up the other day when I got to my sisters and found my nephew had got some new reading glasses and had chosen to go for a pair with the Everton logo on them.

They are horrific glasses, like proper horrible old NHS job and I'm fairly sure bigger kids are gonna punch him in the face and take the p!ss, but I don't care about that, they've got Everton on the side so I've done my bit.

No I didn't. I said who doesn't love a win.
and at the time Southampton were in the bottom 5 and tanking

but you knew that, you li'l ole s***stirrer you. *wags finger at chico in admonishing manner.

Goes out on limb, head on block etc etc etc

Yesterdays performance had all the right nourishing ingredients. There were quick breaks, one twos, flicks, movement etc etc But we spent 20+mins...not quite aimlessly but 20+mins of fannying about.
If it was a meal it would've been one of those perfectly healthy nourishing bland meals they used to feed to ulcer sufferers so as not to excite their digestive system it was a tad bland. There was no sauce, no taste, no spice.
Was Goodison rocking, with the excitement and intensity of it all
Nah.

But never the less I'll take a win all day long slightly bland on no

Degsy; been loving Everton wins since ...well ages

I think the way we were playing last Saturday, we would have been a hot knife through butter with any defence in the league + There will only be intensity when the opposition are trying to win rather than simply trying to stop us scoring, + for about ten minutes after each goal, Goodison was definitely rocking.

Sorry Degsy, but I somehow managed to get my reply mixed in with your post. Basically I thought we played well and at times the ground was rocking. I have just read this whole thread in the middle of the night, and I'm too tired to work out how to sort it. ...Oh ,expand the post above, and its at the bottom. :blush:
