Stressqueen: Saints..Sinners....
Club loyalty seems to be unimportant to a growing number of 'fans'.
Whenever I meet a new acquaintance and tell them I'm an Everton fan the conversation usually goes something like this:
"Why Everton?"
I have a South London accent so it's a fair question, why do I support a Merseyside club?
"I was born in Merseyside, we moved South when I was six so that Dad could keep working."
Then the question that drives me mad.
"Why not Liverpool then or maybe a local one like Arsenal?"
This implies that the more successful club is more deserving of my fealty. Not so.
"Coz my Dad is Blue, my Grandads were Blue, my uncles are Blue, my cousins are .... well you get the picture."
