Possible to love TWO clubs?


You can’t really love two but you can have strong feelings for more than one!
My son is a massive Sunderland fan but happily goes to cov games with his Cov grandad. His second club overall is probably St Pauli. His favourite premier league club is Everton though, mainly because of Pickford it has to be said.
 
Don’t mind Everton. Know plenty of people who have a second team. Some bigger. Some smaller. For me it’s Sunderland only in England. Then clubs I hate less most of the time. With a few clubs I don’t mind Everton, used to be city, Arsenal, Blackburn being a few
yeah I see where you're going pal, I always had a soft spot for Spurs.... they used to have an Archibald Leach designed stand at White Hart Lane... reminded me of the Gladys Street stand
 
My brother in law is a Toffee living in Sunderland so me, him and my dad were all celebrating with you last night @daveyblue45

I’ve been to Goodison with him (both while Sunderland were there - the 7-1 was the first time his dad and my dad met before my sister’s wedding (🤣) but also just to go with him to watch some decent footy while we were in league one. Everton are definitely my favourite non-Sunderland team. 🔵🔵🔵

Cracking post lad … one one club in this house 🔴⚪🔴⚪🔴 …. But Everton is a fkn grand old club I got shit loads of respect for …the caring club x
mate, that's such a nice thing to say! One of the things that stuck with me from my "60s excursions" to Roker Park was the banter of the Mackems! YES! I got loads of jokes and gags directed at me ( well we WERE pasted in both games in 64) but not a malicious word! In fact one bloke offered me the paw and said "dry your eyes son! have a safe trip home"
You don't forget things like that!
 
My blood flows deepest Royal Blue....I make no secret of that. My devotion to the Everton Football Club is TOTAL, has been since my old da took me to Goodison back in 1951.
However, there's another club that tugs at old daveyblue's heartstrings, and has done for decades: Sunderland AFC! I still remember seeing pictures of those packed terraces at Roker Park in the Charlie Buchan's Football Monthlys that I used to read so avidly, and wonder just how loud "The Roker Roar" actually was?? (I found out for myself one bitterly cold Saturday in February 1964!!) I'd heard my da telling me about "Shack" and Trevor Ford, and wee Billy Bingham.... how much he loved those games when Sunderland were a1st Division powerhouse. I got to see Sunderland play at Anfield in a second division game around new years 1958... wee Ernie Taylor was inside forward (remember those anyone? ;) :lol: :lol:) and the little man got his knickers in a twist about something that had been done or said to him! He grabbed a pile of mud and slung it at the ref! :lol::lol::lol::lol: (or in the general direction of the ref?) I almost pissed meself at THAT! But loved that he wasnt going to be sh*t on by ANYONE!! Sadly Sunderland lost the match, then a few days later came to Goodison for a 3rd round FA Cup tie which Everton won 4-0 (SORRY guys!) I remember Peter Wakeham in the goals, Kitchenbrand, Maltby, Wee Ernie of course! I'm not sure if Charlie was in the side that day, Amby Fogarty was another Sunderland player I knew.
As I've said elsewhere on this forum, I was smitten by the Mackems when I came up the L-O-N-G road north for a cup tie in '64. It (up to that time) was the furthest I'd travelled to see the toffees play. But walking around with the crowds down the narrow streets with all those wee terraced houses that surrounded Roker Park, I felt at home (SO like my own neighbourhood!), even down to getting some ciggies from one of the wee corner shops! The result was CRAP for me, but that day and warmth of the banter and the passion of Mackems has stayed with me! I kicked every ball in that '73 Final! Celebrated like one of YOU!

LOOK! I'll never have the pedigree of you'se folks! (I've a football culture of me own) but yours is always the result I look for after EFC!

Give those blokes from Geordie Arabia a "touch up" in the Cup!! make an old expat Blue happy!!

No, it's ridiculous

Well done on the win last night

My nephew's sons who support Blackburn and Everton were very happy
 
Grew up just outside Reading (Dad's Reading, Mum's a mackem) followed both. But sat in Sunderland end when we won there last year 0-3. Sunderland is my true love.
I have always had a huge soft sport for Everton as well.
Nae one ever accused me of being a glory hunter
 
Yes
Sunderland, & whoever is playing the mags.

As a young lad I would enjoy watching Evertons' 69-70 team that won the league.
Went to see them play Darlington in the League Cup 2nd round at Feethams that season.
They put a full strength team out ... wouldn't happen these days
 
I love Rangers anarl due to the connection there's always been between the two clubs.Chelsea,Mags,Millwall,WHU Stoke and Reading can fuck right off
 
Agree - only one true love.

I sometimes go and watch Aberdeen for logistical reasons (not as much as when they were decent) - but it's just not the same.

I like Everton - but I think that's because I dislike Liverpool and they (Everton) have an Archibald Leitch stand.
Not many left now. Goodison soon to go. Just ibrox and fratton park left?

I have a massive soft spot for Everton. Will never forget what you did for Bradley Lowry.
