Bio: 35 year old who has been going to Goodison for 30 years now and wishes we could be as good as we were in my first 7 years as a fan! Run the NSNO site as a hobby, although it’s become a much bigger hobby than was ever planned. In fact, when I started NSNO, I told my (then) girlfriend that if it ever out-grew the free hosting it was on, that I would just give it up. A dedicated server and a break up later, it has survived.

The story goes that when someone presented U.S. President Franklin D Roosevelt with the disgraceful abominations of his ally, the Nicaraguan dictator Somoza, he reportedly said: “He may be a sonofab*tch, but he’s our sonofab*tch.” Since David Moyes took over at Everton he has been hunting for our own “sonofab*tch”. Bids have been tabled for Blackburn’s Robbie Savage, Newcastle’s Emre, and more recently then-Manchester City’s Joey Barton — three villains of the Premiership pantomime....

Pele was woeful, Alex Young was worse, and Moyes will get Everton relegated Fan 1: What about last season? Fan 2: What about it? Fan 1: They were rubbish. They were f***ing rubbish. Fan 2: They weren’t that bad. Fan 1: They were f***ing rubbish last year. And they were f***ing rubbish the year before.
