What are you worried for? It's Everton.

how far the Blues have come. now we're talking statistics and such.
I'm from the days of the Dogs of War. ANYTHING is good. Just enjoying watching us ping the ball around the park, statistics be damned. Makes a change from give it to Duncan.

It's not about being pessimistic. It's about knowing you support a *quote* "small club" *quote*. Everything goes, we're having fun week in week out playing with the supposed big boys, punching way above our weight. All hail the Moyessiah. I could hardly care less about stats when it's so much more exciting to watch Bainesy tear it up the left like some reborn Carlos.

You should know who I'm quoting. but you don't know why. Let me try to explain.
We're broke, things aren't going to change anytime soon unless Big Bill decides to sell. We've been that way ever since we failed to capitalize on the Premier League formation. You should know what the Premier League era is about. But make no doubt, we refuse to bow. We refuse to take on a busload of debt in the form of "investors", even with the promise of success and silverware.

No sir, we are Everton.

And in these times and age, we ARE a small club. even if we've been doing it the way we always have. Mancini can say all he wants, our neighbours across the park can spout all the crap they want. But have no doubt. Denigrate us as a small club, but small doesn't equal weak on the field as they're finding out. We're making them eat their words each time they discount us.

I don't know why you seem offended. It's not like we're United, spoilt for success and always whining when perceived to be insulted or humiliated by other clubs. Our mentality is different, you should understand if you have been around for long. Let them talk, the fact doesn't change that we're stubbornly traditional and proud in the esteem of our history.

We do things our way. And we always will. Our soul will never be bowed.

We're small, not because we are incapable. It's because while everyone around us has been busy splurging on things they can't afford, we've stayed true to our roots as a people's club. Not going to comment on whether that's a good choice or not, for every City there is a Leeds. But these are our values, and they are never going to change. We fight the fair fight in our own dignified way, others be damned.

Again, WE ARE EVERTON!
and we have fun every week sticking it to CashMoney FC.

Bumping this up, derby day where would you guys be watching tonight?

Really, Marriner??! REALLYY??!!!!!
