What other Clubs in the UK or worldwide can we say represent Everton's values?

[Blue peter]

There’s only one Everton

There’s actually two….don’t forget the one in Chile!

 

[Abertonian]

Aberdeen. Like Everton a club of firsts: first club to have a dug out, first all seater stadium in Scotland. Won the league a couple of times and the Cup winners Cup in 80s, won a trophy in 95 (which was the last one until 2013-14) Has a community trust that uses the profile of the club to support local charities and organisations.

No. Just because you say it, doesn’t make it true.

We have a gargantuan honours list compared to them.

Never compare us to them.

Champions of Europe apparently

 

[kev]

There is nothing to compare.
Everton aren't we.

 

[MACCA75]

Can’t get on board with the West Ham comparison. Their fans are awful Tory, Brexit, knees up Mother Brown thuggish ball bags. And an InterToto cup win doesn’t put them anywhere close to us.

 

[Drico]

Hamburger SV. Massive in the 80s, loved a monstrous centre-forward, ever-present in the too flight until…they weren’t.

I know it's topical but West Ham are the Everton of London. Local, family orientated, working class, hard-nosed, ups and downs...but always there for the fans.

I've always had a soft spot for the Hammers, but I think the similarity is a little tenuous.

Everton have a proud history of winning stuff, even if the last couple of decades have been bleak. West Ham have had little success bar a few FA cups in a 15 year period.

West Ham have a long history of travelling between divisions. Everton do not.

Perhaps there is a parallel with the fan base & grass roots support - as you point out.

I know Arsenal have now gone well beyond Everton with silverware, but I used to see some similarity with them.

If anyone says Spurs, they should be banned from the forum.

St Domingo's

goodest of good times?

 

[Vintage]

London Irish seeing the mess they are in

 

[lancs blue]

The incompetence shows no bounds

West Ham don't have our record of firsts. They also have been a bit of a yoyo club and inhabit a state funded stadium not built for football, like a hermit crab. Theyre followers, not trailblaisers. Very London, not very Everton.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Losers

 

[Yarrgh]

Al Nasr in Dubai.

Play in Blue.
Quite good in the 80s, garbage since then.
Change managers at least once a year.
Miserable fans.
Basically it's home from home.

UTFAN!

Family club title basically because we now win f all.
