In Praise Of Liverpool Football Club: Through Gritted Teeth

“It happened without me even noticing on Friday afternoon. Gerry and the Pacemakers’, You’ll Never Walk Alone came on the car stereo and before I had time to adjust the dial, I was belting it out at the top of my lungs and with the knobs turned up to eleven. Maybe I’d been deluding myself all season but I couldn’t do it any longer. My subconscious was telling me in no uncertain terms that it was time to give Liverpool their dues. What follows is by no means a love-in but it is an acknowledgement of sorts. And to all those Evertonians whose club I have celebrated for many times in these posts, I am truly sorry. However, my sense of fairness dictates that I do this. Some might call it an affliction.” Dispatches From A Football Sofa
