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.
How many EPL teams are left? This is such a good series but I fear it only has so long to go.
ReplyDeletejust the top 5 to go.
