While I admit to personal ties to the North East , I honestly believe that the worst thing that can happen next week is the barcodes go down .
If they do , I guarantee that some myth-buying shobgite will ride in on a white horse , a la John Hall the last time . Im tellimg you . Its the one club - city thing . Anyone who does it , their business will go through the roof in the region , and its a decent size . It goes North to Scotland , West to Carslisle , and South - admittedly - to the Mackems and Smoggies .
Whereas , if they scrape 17th , theyll be stuck with the same shat squad , on the same big dough , have the same huge bills and the same fat cockney Spurs fan as Chairman .
From an Everton perspective , theres only one choice . Granted , you dont get fat Geordies cryin , but hell , theres always next year !!!!
