When is it alright to call Everton 'us'

[bluelife]

eg... 'we played class at the weekend'
'reading ****ed us sideways'



What are the requirements? can any fan say it? only the players/board/coaches etc?

I always cringe when i hear people say 'we played well' regarding their club. I'd like to see your opinions...

Why would that make you cringe ?

If a blue asked you what the score was in the Everton vs Fulham game would you honestly say 'Everton won 1-0' and not 'We won 1-0' ? Personally the former sounds weird to me, if you're talking about the team you support.

probably when it's grammatically correct

you see...

"us played class at the weekend" or "reading ****ed we sideways"

...doesn't really work mate

Bring back neg rep ffs

I refer to Everton as 'we.' It doesn't make me cringe.

Always we, with regards to your own club - be it player, staff or fan. Why does it make you cringe though? Everyone I have ever known has always referred to their team as we.

The use of 'us' would be as a result of a tonking, as you put. IE - "They did batter us, but 'we' didn't help ourselves".

[Duncan Disordely]

I don't think I know anyone who doesn't do this.

 

[MartSlinger]

We are boss.

OH SORRY.

Everton are boss.

I'm not usually one for saying 'us' or 'we' when it comes to Everton, but it doesn't really bother me when others say it.

I find this thread a bit racist

 

[royalblue66]

Does Moyes say us,don't think he does

 

[chrissyjack]

We say " Who are We?" . Not " What is the name of the team we support ? "

I say KOFF Everton and not KOFF Us. But apart from that..
