Dear Evertonians,

Greetings from Mr Ognjen Mojovic, proud Evertonian from Bosnia! Somewhere in February this football season, I started to support EVERTON FOOTBALL CLUB!

On this occasion, all I can say is THAT THERE GONNA BE A SHOW, WHEN THE EVERTON BOYS ARE THERE!

Sincerely caramelizated,

Ognjen,
Welcome to the family. Tell us why you picked Everton - I know you are from Bosnia & H, and that he is from Croatia, but was it because of Nikica Jelavic? Or do you hate the Redshite as much as us?
Again, welcome

Editor. This person is not a scouser and judging by our usual jibes at the RS and others, surely this must be censored.

Next we will have coach loads of Norwegians arriving at the ground.

'Caramelizated' ? that sounds pyschodelic.

Welcome aboard. You'll be dissapointed.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,

With my poor knowledge of English, I will try to give answers on very interesting questions which together with worm welcome, to which i thank (after last coma i used Google translate).

So, let's start from the first question.

Question why do i pick Everton is more for psychiatrists than for me, twenty year-old boy from Drinjača village, who don't know much about human brain. But, i'm surre that i didn't pick Everton because of any of his player. It all began between 2011/2012 football season matches against Manchester City and Chelsea on Goodison Park in Premier League. I wasn't fan of any particular football team untill wave of pure happiness didn't stroke me when i saw how Daron Gibson scores against Man City. After match against Chelsea I tottaly fell in love with Everton.

Before that happened to me, I didn't know much about Everton. I didn't know nothing about our trophies or history, and it was interesting to find out how i started to support club which is seventeen years whitout trophy ( How can i even write these last words!). Now, offcourse, my knowledge about Everton has grown, and i know three our songs!! Becuse of Everton, first time in my life, i went to local bar,just to see Toffees playing against Blackpool. Since that game I didn't miss to follow any Toffees game, either watching on TV/Internet or listening on the radio.

Unfortunatelly, i don't have 100m pounds to spend on Everton, but i'll do my best to spend as much as i can on Everton! I won't give up!

Also, i would like to ask why 'caramelizated' sounds psychodelic?

NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM!

Ognjen,

You are like a breath of fresh air on this site. I haven't smiled so much after reading a TW post for a long long time. You have rejuvenated me.
Thank you

Ognjen,

Im sat in work pretty damn bored as usual and your post (515) has really made me smile.



But remember, YOU did not choose Everton, EVERTON chose you

Ognjen,
Welcome, as Paul says above, you have been chosen, which automatically makes you a decent person.
Now do the decent thing and vote for us in the Eurovision song contest !

Ognjen,

Most Evertonians are born that way and then, whatever happens you are stuck with it...you can't change your mind! You will have to consider yourself a born-again Evertonian!

You say you don't know much about Everton? Here are a few interesting facts. I'm sure other posters will give you more.

Everton were the FIRST Football Club in the world to...

Be watched by a King

Be presented with a League Trophy

Present medals to players

Stage an FA Cup Final

Build a Stadium just for football

Have double decker stands on all four sides

Have goal nets

Put numbers on players shirts

Have a manager/Coach

Print a match programme

Have undersoil heating

Have floodlights on the roof

Win a European penalty shoot-out

Go on a European tour

Wear Blue and White

Reach 4000 points in the top league

Spend a 100 years in the top league (it's now 118 years or 108 years not counting the wars)

Win the League Champiomship on two grounds.

We are also the only Club to have given birth to another club who turned out to be a basket of writhing, venomous snakes who have a contract with the Devil and who win all their trophies on Penalties. I will let you work out who they are but if it helps they wear red, their name begins with L and they play on our old ground, Anfield.

By the way, Google these names and it will tell you a lot more about Everton.

Dixie Dean
Tommy Lawton
Alex Young
Alan Ball
Kevin Sheedy
Neville Southall

Good Luck and welcome to life with the Blues!

Also, Dave, we're the only club never to have played either non-league or lower division [what some of us still call Division 3 & 4!] football since the inception of the Football League.

Love this exchange:

"Is this a Boris wind up?"

"Who is Boris?"

I'm guessing you meant Borat, Ciaran?

Got to admit, at first I thought it read a bit too much like those insane emails I keep being sent by 'Natalya' and 'Olga', two genuine good time girls from Uzbekistan who somehow stumbled across a picture of me on the Internet and were so 'shocked, astonished, and not much able to do the breathing properly anymore' after seeing how 'handsomely sexing intrigue man' I am, 'with kind, wise face like Disney lion', that they just had to get in touch in the hope that 'one day we be joined in crotch lightning like written in the favourite book from library'. Still, at least Ognjen didn't attach any pictures of himself half naked, posed awkwardly against a wall, with a worried look in his eyes like he's expecting a whack in the face at any minute.

Nope, I believe Ognjen is the real deal and he's obviously been struck by the Evertonian curse already:

"Becuse of Everton, first time in my life, i went to local bar..".

We've all been there Ognjen lad.

If there's one thing guaranteed about following the Blues it's that they'll drive you to drink and despair.

Welcome aboard.

Sorry, I thought this was all to do with Everton's transfer policy, but I'm getting confused between Bosman's & Bosnians!

Bloody magic TW site hasn't made me smile so much in a long time. Ognjen welcome to the family I have been a supporter for 43 years and it's cost me most of my hair and heart valve. Strap yourself in lad, in you're in for the ride of your life!

Hey John (682),
How about this title for a new Toffeeweb movie:- "Cultural Learnings of Everton for Make Benefit Glorious Chairman of Kenwright" starring comic duo Tony Marsh and Richard Dodd!

Welcome to the family Ognjen! Be prepared to have your hopes, dreams and wishes smashed into smithereens for the rest of your life. But it will be 'fun', if we can call it that ;)
