IMO it’s all a question of perspective and degree. Everton fans could argue for decades they yo-yo between mid table and a relegation fight? They have their odd moment in the sun like qualifying for Europe last year and the Howard Wilkinson 80s side but that’s it. Years of stagnation going nowhere. Look at Villa, Leeds, the Sheffield clubs? If you listen to Liverpool fans on 606 without a title in 20 odd years and still in the same old under developed ground they sound worse than us? What you describe is the reality of the life of the vast majority of football fans. So why bother? Well the emotional experience of 86-87 will live with me till the day I die, as will Shrewsbury 94 and 15/16. Within all the desperation and gloom there lies some of the greatest memories of our lives. Hopefully it is those times that makes it all worth it? That is unless you support Barcelona, who have spent so long at the top their fans will never feel the once in a lifetime sensation of massive over achievement? Our day will come again soon.
Agree but Howard Wilkinson at Everton?
