every sports shop i go to, no matter where it is in the world, the everton shirts are always sold out.

   

And yesterday when they arrived in there far east tour, a whole hundred red faced fans turned out to greet them

Sure, I'd like to meet you. I'm just going through a busy period this time. The company I am restructuring will be calling an extraordinary general meeting of both creditors and shareholders and the public notice should be out by next week. By then I should be free.

I'd like to watch a live game with a real "gwai loh" from the mother land (that's you) some time. Say when.

I laughed when on saw on sky news that Bitters were in Thailand, when i was there last month on holiday the only shirt the locals seems to respond to was the Liverpool one.

And so ran the headline in last night's Echo (p42 & 43).

Wow, I thought to myself, Everton must be really big in Thailand. I read on....

Scorching Sun And Shirt Clad Eastern Army Embrace Team ran the sub-headline. An army of fans - my god, they must be huge.

"After a gruelling 11-hour flight the Blues were greeted by scores of Thai fans...."

"Upto 100 local supporters, almost all dressed in the club's famous royal blue shirts...."

Wow, there must have been...er, hang on...Upto 100...er, that's a bit disingenuous isn't it? What does Upto 100 actually mean? It could mean anything between 1 and an actual 100? And erm, can you really describe 100 people as an army?

Obviously, in the blue world of the Liverpool Echo sports department, yes you can! Helpfully, the blue taint that runs throughout the Echo ensures that most of their sports journalists are Blue. And, like 99% of Blues, they are thick. So they helpfully provided some photographic evidence of the army. You can count them. I did. There are a grand total of 26. Yes, in Echospeak 26 supporters can be described as upto 100.

I have to say, it's always nice to see the patients from the local psychiatric ward get a day out, and if they get to see some of their favourite people it couldn't be nicer.

But come on - 26! Army!! Scores!!!

Later we have a quote from The Best Manager In Britain ™ - "We had several hundred watching training."

Now, having learnt not to take this at face value, I can only assume that if 26 = Upto 100, then several hundred = 50 or so. And assuming 26 of them are the local mentlers, then the rest could be accounted for by their carers and the groundstaff - most of whom were probably thinking hang on, that's not the team from Liverpool who are European Champions. Who the hell did we invite?

You just can't legislate for the complete self-delusion of the Blues, and their local media supporters. Big club my ar$e.

Just spoke to a mate in thailand ,he says the "army of 26 " supporters at that greeted everton where all emloyees of the Thai Beer Company ,they produce Chang beer .
Why does that name sound familiar      

Sad when the "best team on merseyside " has to put people on the payroll to get some support .
