    Everton park is not far from me….I’ll have to do a drive by!

    Outside of the obvious salary smoothing this is a great thing to do for the clubs culture…I can’t help but be in awe of the culture this club is continuing to build - this is a great resigning that only enhances the demons culture 

    They say culture starts at the top….we all know it started awhile ago but i reckon Kate is doing some incredible things….

    To help manage your nerves and anxiety on the day, I have compiled a timetable of activities for you to follow.

     

    Fri 24 Sep
    11pm
    Go to bed, sleep serenely in knowledge that demons are sure things and cannot lose.

    Sat 25 sep
    6am
    Wake up in cold sweat knowing deep in soul that we will suffer either a drubbing or a close heartbreaking loss.

    6:00 - 6:10
    Lie in bed staring at ceiling trying to calm self down.

    6:11
    Put on radio. Listen to experts pronouncing Doggies as sure things.

    6:15 - 6:30
    Lie in bed staring at ceiling trying to calm self down.

    6:35
    Go to kitchen, make soothing coffee.

    6:36
    While waiting, check demonland for words of solace.

    7:15
    Cheer up reading words of encouragement. Go back to kitchen. Discover cold coffee. Put in microwave.

    7:16
    Check demonland. Read single post that puts chills of fear into soul.

    Shower to warm up.

    7:25

    19:00
    Watch players warm up. Sooth jangled nerves by cheering demons and booing dogs. Desperately try to ascertain clues to performance by how the players jog sideways, roll the ball on the ground, etc. Anxiety increase to 150%.

    19:10
    Anthem and other frippery. Rage at universe for making you wait.

    19:15
    Game on! Watch as demons tear the dogs a new one. Race around living room with each goal as Demons pile on a record score. Catharsis, and all emotion is replaced by a joyful high.
