columnist Joe Jennings doesn't buy into Barton's remorse and
cannot see this leopard changing its spots.
There are many things that I find dislikeable about
football, ranging from how football clubs are run and managed; all the way down

Football FanCast columnist Joe Jennings wonders if Everton are doing enough
to maintain their identity within the City.

Football FanCast
columnist Joe Jennings feels that Evertonians are a special breed

our hearts but in our wallets.
Football FanCast columnist Joe Jennings feels that next season is a defining one for Everton

inevitable.
Football FanCast columnist Joe Jennings is disappointed about the rumblings that surround Mikel Arteta and feels that the player should show some loyalty, to the club that made him what he is.
The conventional wisdom among football fans, Evertonians in particular, is that every supporter is unstintingly loyal to their beloved club. We expect the same from the players that we love to adore, worship and at times, berate.
