我也喜歡到YOUTUBE。他們有一個功能﹐就是會按著你以前欣賞過的片段﹐給你介紹一些類似的片段﹐免卻你搜尋的時間﹐也避免你錯過一些你會很喜歡的短片。在我那一個YOUTUBE網頁裡﹐愛華頓的短片當然是那一間公司經常介紹給我的題材。

早陣子﹐看了這樣一個短片。很喜歡。尤其喜歡那一首歌。在網上搜尋過一些時候﹐依然未有發現。希望皇天不負有心人。能夠讓我在球季開始前找得到便太過美好了。

裡面﹐當然有許多愛華頓攻入利物浦大門的片段。畢竟﹐那支穿紅衣的球隊是我們最討厭的球隊。重溫著小伙子DAN GOSLING去季在足總杯第四圈加時下半場的入球﹐我的心又再次興奮起來。每一次打敗利物浦﹐我都會格外高興。

我想起了早前在報紙裡讀過的一篇文章。

那天﹐在《泰晤士報》體育版裡﹐專欄作家SIMON BARNES用這樣的一句說話﹐替自己那篇談論ASHES板球比賽的文章做開場白。他寫道﹕「假如我們不憎恨他們﹐何解我們會如此喜歡打敗他們﹖何解我們就是特別喜歡在運動場上打敗澳洲﹖」(原文﹕If we don't hate them, why do we love to beat them? Why is it Australia, above all other nations, that we like to beat at sport?)

我很有同感。我很感受得到文字裡面那一種情感。雖然作者講的是英國和澳洲。雖然作者講的是板球。

因為我能夠把自己對利物浦的憎恨﹐投射到作者所講的那一種感情裡面。

Why is it that defeat at the hands of Australia is one of the most painful sensations that sport can offer? Why did our laughter have such malicious delight, even though, on the whole we bear Australians no malice? Why did the thought of Australians in pain give such giggling, gloating delight?

把以上那段文字中的「AUSTRALIA」變成「EVERTON」﹐同樣合適。當然「AUSTRALIAN」要變成「LIVERPULIANS」﹐又或者「THE RED HALF OF MERSEYSIDE」。

同時候﹐我明白﹐沒有深深愛上一支球隊﹐不可能感受得到裡面那一種情感。所以﹐我明白﹐為何年初的時候﹐有一個網友會在此抗議我對希斯堡球場慘劇的冷血。

哈哈, 不知是否巧合, 我昨天在 BLUEKIPPER 的 FORUM 見到這片的 LINK, 所以也看了這片, 片中的歌, 歌名是 TOFFEE"S TALE, 如果你要, 我可以 SEND MP3 給你。

我絕對明白打敗 RS 的喜悅,也是我為何這麼喜歡看到 CAHILL 把球踢進他們的大門。

ANYWAY, 今季買人似乎又跟上季相近,KYLE NAUGHTON 好像沒有了,至於其他的 TARGETS 都好像只是傳聞,一日未見穿著球衣影相, 一日我都不相信這些傳聞,老實說,我討厭現在這樣的情況。

Ryan,

It's digusting. Harry Redknapp is a specialist in dirty deals. There must be something fishy in this transfer. How can Sheffield Utd sold the player to the Spurs after announcing that Kyle N is on his way to Goodison on their own official website the other day? But anyway if that young lad preferred to follow the footsteps of Phil J as reported, he would snub the Spurs himself (just like Peter Crouch did to Sunderland few days ago). So i can't fully blame Sheffield Utd and the Spurs. Just like other Evertonian said days before, it's his loss not ours.

Yes, everything look the same this summer. A bit unexpected, to be honest. Hope will get a couple of reinforcement, particularly the right back - for Tony H is the weakest link in the current squad, before August. Though very unlikely.

If you don't mind please send that to dessyng@gamil.com. Thanks. I love the song very much.

Ryan,

There will be two 3-0 wins for Everton in the forthcoming season.

I've just read the report about Kyle N transfer. Undisclosed fee. See, how fishy it is.
