Aggie lad - I'm in Houston if you're ever about - we can go for a beer...there's a few of us in Texas now!!

I was born in Birkenhead (Wool - I know), moved South aged 13, but have continued my love affair with them. My Gran and my Auntie, Uncle and their two girls were all reds - never got on as well with them as I did the blue half...



ha good to know! Seems the only shirts I see around here are friggin Barca and Man U, I swear!
 
The comments by that Wembley 84 person were bang out of order.The poster that started this thread is well within his rights to support this great club.Everton would be my second favourite sporting team as well with my first love being the Cork hurlers and gaelic footballers.:) Welcome to the Everton family mate.Have you purchased any Everton merchandise?Pay a visit to the Everton online store if you haven't.

Oh yeah, have 3 shirts. Getting a Timmy keeper kit was kind of my way of sealing my pact--figured once I had a shirt there was definitely no going back. haha
 
ooh dunno bout this mate, never heard it before. I'm from a very, very inner city part of the world and have only ever been known as a "scouser" to the point where I correct people on the phone in work who call me liverpudlian and it infuriates me

I can relate to the fact that people from a little further out may not want to term themselves as a "scouser"

but if we're talking blue and red it's evertonian and liverpudlian, believe me it is, you choose where you stand

Well she's a crocky head so I don't think it's a further out thing. It might just be a generation thing as she's getting on a bit now. I've never known anyone my generation to say the same thing but I get the impression it's something a fair portion of the olders believe.
 

I seem to remember a particularly friendly atmosphere after the 2010 Goodison Derby. There was one gentleman of the red persuasion that got a very high spirited reception as he tried to drive down goodison road :)

Was that at a the derby? I thought he was just being an idiot after a normal home game!
 

Easy to explain why its so different in this City.

Liverpool City, has no segregation. Its not split by race / Religion, Wealth, or even North / South, East or West.

Very unique is this City. In most 2 team towns, one of the above usually define's who you support.

That is not the case in Liverpool, hence the closeness of the 2 sets of fans.
