Does Liverpool have a valley (vale) though?

Yes. Everton Valley.

Everton

Ghastly!

I'd bet there is loads of other clubs fans who have no idea Everton is a part of the City of Liverpool by the way.

No way!

You reckon?

I think the Toffee's would have had too many sticking points.

*apart from Newcastle, who are unnecessarily called united, the attention seeking vanity whores

They were formed by the amalgamation of Newcastle's East End and West End

Fans still argue about it

St. Domingo probably.

'Everton' is an extremely provincial name for a major football club. I like it though, it's unique like Juventus.

Imagine Everton winning titles and dominating in Europe, 'Everton' would sound intimidating unlike 'Chelsea' or 'Man City' for example.

One of the many, many things I love about Everton is that it was founded by people imaginitive enough not just to name the club after the city, but of an area within it.

T'other day though, a random thought crossed my mind. What if we hadn't been called Everton. Other cities with two teams often go down the route of united or city.*

Would we be the United, or the City in Liverpool? Or wedsnesday, or albion , or wanderers, or rangers?

I think we'd be City but for absolutely no reason other than a hunch. Perhaps it's the blue
