I was up in Merseyside this weekend to watch my beloved Everton take on the Premiership leaders, Chelsea, at Goodison Park. Sadly instead of a well-deserved victory, or even a hard-fought draw, we suffered a 1-0 defeat after a frankly mediocre game of football. Unfortunately the result was all-but guaranteed after eight minutes when James Beattie confused playing at being an Everton striker with playing at being a charging rhino on safari - and duly received a red card for his efforts. After some tireless defending from Everton, Gudjohnsen finally scored from close range in the 69th minute to give Chelsea the victory.
I don't go to many live games, so it was interesting to be right in the thick of it and to listen to the chants and cries of the fellow supporters around me. This is what I learnt from the wit and wisdom of my fellow Evertonians...
About our team, Everton:
- Manager David Moyes has ginger hair... but they don't mind.
- Goalkeeper Nigel Martyn should be England's Number 1.
About our opposition, Chelsea:
- Who are Chelsea?
- Chelsea have never won anything.
- They're all a bunch of cheats and fairies.
About the referee, Mike Riley:
- He's a w*nker.
- He's not a w*nker, he's a bastard.
- He looks like Montgomery Burns.
- He should be shot.
- He should have gone to Specsavers - apparently they're open on Saturdays.
So who says all football fans are biased, myopic idiots eh? (Although as far as the referee is concerned, he did have a shocker.)
