It used to be truly painful to hear Evertonians singing, "We are white...." many years ago now happily. Sadly racism now creeping back into the open again largely due to social media and people in high office peddling the hate with apparent immunity (if that thinking makes me one of Piers Morgan's "snowflakes" fuck it, what a knob). I've never heard anything at Goodison since I started going to matches again fifteen odd years ago, long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard anything at Goodison since I started going to matches again fifteen odd years ago, long may it continue. I always remember Yakubu, Anichebe and Saha being in the same match day squad and a fella a few rows down getting really out of order in the things he was saying. I remember being very uncomfortable, but I wasn’t strong enough to put a stop to it. Stewards at the tunnel steps just stood there and said nothing. Mike, you’re way too old to be a snowflake.

Hopefully we're all more aware of any connotations now, it's certainly an awkward task trying to tell my 15 yr old the connotation of some sayings he picks up from school etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How tight things are when you can go top one minute and 11th next, and after the United result I think these small margins will carry on to effect league positions throughout the season, bar 3 clearly breaking clear I can’t see much between the next 7 or 8.

I get you now. Dont worry about the league position though mate, it’s like being top on the first day. It’s too early, it just doesn’t matter yet. Maybe after six games start worrying about the table. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
