I'll defend Everton (regarding the coin tossing incident against the Mancs another day), but now I wish to express my displeasure with Delia Smith. Last season Everton stewards recieved complaints that Norwich fans had chanted "you black bastard" at Joey Yobo. It's now clear that the actual chant was "you fat bastard", directed toward Wayne Rooney.
Since Everton refused to apologise for investigating the complaint, Delia vowed to sit with the Norwich fans the next time they visited Goodison, spurning the Directors hospitality. We won 1-0.
Everton have it's fair share of racist scum, but so do other clubs, and that's why any complaint should be acted upon. I've heard many racists that have been left to continue, so i'll defend any club that investigates complaints.
If you haven't seen the clip of the sherry-driven, rambling bint: watch and laugh
I think it's quite moving. It's up there with Churchill (http://www.historychannel.com/speeches/archive/speech_52.html)! Maybe not...
