@UptheTofees - doesn't get any easier on the blood pressure, does it?

 

[Bluerover]

Your a top top man mate.

Enjoy the good times, accept the bad times, pray for the successful times. Argue your point, accept others opinions, embrace great moments and suck up the kicks to the gut.

....and tonight was special..even if I was asleep for most of it!!

Today I took the full ride of being an Everton fan. Obviously I have supported and cared for the team since day 1. I connected with the team since day 1.

But today, I felt what you lot always told me about.

The excitement before the match

The frustration not to see Mina seeing that he was also absent in the last United league match and they clogged us for 2 headers goals.

Then the nervousness as the match got going

The naive confidence as we started playing well

The utter frustration with how that first goal developed knowing that that passage would end up in goal from the moment Doucoure gave that ball away.

The anger as that play developed and watching every mistake made in that passage (ball giveaway, no pressure on the wing to the ball crosser, poor coverage by Keane.

Then the anger at our players for playing like a neighborhood bunch, especially James and Doucoure and for the whole team just sitting back and playing scared

The frustration of DCL missing that one on one thinking that's it, we are done.

Then the shy joy of that first goal thinking maybe there is hope

Then the glorious roar of the 2nd goal. Screamed and jumped as I watched in.my home gym to the point that my wife came running to check if I was ok and angrily rolled her eyes when she realized it was a soccer scream.

Then hope....and hope that we win it.

Then more anger at us sitting back. Came the 3rd goal and I was deflated..how? Why?

But I kept hope, frustrated hope. My workout was done but I stayed in gym. Pacing back and forward. Not sitting down. Like a father awaiting his first son.

Then came the goal and I screamed yes 5 times (Wife knew better this time) as I punched the living crap out of the heavy bag without gloves (dumb) and I said I love this team.

I know I am rambling on. But I havent felt this emotionally attached to a team or a match since Colombia in the world cup. The blues were in complete control of my emotions and how my weekend would go on.

I understand now the madness here and I love it

Mate what have you done to yourself?

 

[Tin-Tin]

Will following Everton also make me fat?

If you eat due to stress yes.

You will end up fat, bald, missing fingernails and experience extreme emotions

Thank you for painting my life.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Thank you for painting my life.

The last two are very familiar

I'm fully enjoying this Evertonian ride

I knew it'd be a rollercoaster

What I didn't know it would be a rollercoaster in a haunted house

I became an Evertonian because our first date was to Leeds v Everton in 1980 and from that first match l was hooked. Then he said it was in the marriage contract. Even if we divorce l will always be a blue. That’s how it is. Once Everton touches you....

No, don't be fooled. What you are feeling now is not what an Evertonian typically feels. Everton don't win matches like tonight's.

However, once upon a time, we used to. Regularly. Picture it. Merseyside. 1985. A handsome young fellow named Drico...

Once Everton has touched you muchacho!!!!

Is an Evertorian a mixture of an Everton fan and a Tory?

 

[UptheTofees]

Is an Evertorian a mixture of an Everton fan and a Tory?

It's the new and improved way of being an Everton fan. In this version, we are the ones scoring last minute equalizers and match winners instead of getting our hearts broken.

Put a smile on my face, this.

Any grown person who chooses Everton with their eyes wide open is a very brave sort, and clearly a welcome addition to our ranks.

Most of us were indoctrinated as kids and Stockholm Syndrome took over before we could get away.

I guess @UptheTofees and I have gotten used to the brainwashed US culture thus we are okay about becoming victims of the Evertonian cult
