You can't spell EPIC FAIL without the EPL: Everton

Location: Liverpool, Merseyside. Literally across a park from their eponymous neighbors.

Nickname: The Toffees.

Stately, Non-Commercial Stadium Name: Goodison Park.

Crest: There it is. Somebody squirted toothpaste on a pointy wang. I think the Latin there says something about Millsaps so fuck that.

Season So Far: It's Everton. They're in the FA cup quarterfinals and will finish in the top 6 in the EPL. Outside of the top four, they're the model of consistency.

General vibe to a casual American fan: The OTHER team from Liverpool. Also, Tim Howard: by far the best American player in the EPL right now. Every single season they're a lock to finish somewhere between 4th and 7th. A workmanlike, blue collar (literally!) team that isn't flashy but consistently beats the teams it should and gives hell to the top four.

  1. How many EPL teams are left? This is such a good series but I fear it only has so long to go.
