# You Know You’re A Die Hard Evertonian When…

There is a point during your long term support of your team that you realize what you’ve become.

– You always hope the blue guy/girl wins on Gladiators.\
**– You won’t drink Carlsberg or red wine.**\
– You have a constant feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach until the 40-point mark is reached.\
**– The second game of the season is a “six pointer” after a usually terrible first game.**\
– You’ve never made it to a european away ground because of the huge bender the day before.\
**– You buy the new kit EVERY season without fail, although there is usually very little difference.**\
– You automatically think that Carousel is a s\*\*\* piece of work merely because of the song You’ll Never Walk Alone.\
**– You bathe in turpentine after accidentally brushing a Liverpool jersey in the JJB Sports.**\
– You buy the DVD the day after you’ve beaten Liverpool.\
**– Everyone who graduates from the academy and scores a senior goal is “better than/the next Wayne Rooney” (delete as appropriate).**\
– Even the most fair decision in the other team’s favour results in a shout of “f\*\*\* off ref!”\
**– Nothing that happens in a reserve / ladies / youth game matters, only the first team results count for anything.**\
– You prepare for a party when a star name is linked to Everton.\
**– You were always the Blue Power Ranger in school.**\
– You think that Queen Elizabeth II is an Evertonian because she has “blue blood”.\
**– You only watch Match of the Day if they win or get a “good draw”.**\
– Your mood for the week after a match is dictated by the result.\
**– If bottom, you stand on your head so Everton are top of the table.**\
– Jimmy Tarbuck is a terrible comedian, but Leonard Rossiter is a genius.\
**– David Moyes “has to go” after every defeat.**\
– You fantasise about having a slim Graeme Sharp in his prime and a resurrected zombie-robot version of Dixie Dean upfront.
