Trip to Liverpool (yes where the Beatles were born!)

Today we visited Liverpool to watch Liverpool vs. West Brom. On the Bus trip there of about 2 hours, a fellow coach with us slipped on his Tourist hat and gave us a tremendous presentation about the Club Everton and of the city of Liverpool. The coach is a true Evertonian and really became agitated when talking about the other team in the city: Liverpool. Everton played was so-so for the first 30 minutes and withstood several good chances from West Brom. We were briefed on the songs and rituals to follow but the crowd was really "flat" and not singing much. I made a little mistake.I brought (despite having three choices)this bag to carry all I wanted to have like a hat, gloves, sunglasses, etc.
What is wrong with this back pack? Take note of its color. In contrast, take notice of the Everton colors and Nickname "Blues". Ahhhhhh John, John, John, John. Liverpool is verrrrrrryyyy close to the Everton stadium. You can actually see each at once. Liverpool and Everton never play the same day as the city might burn down. These teams and the fans do not like each other. So when I showed up early well before the match to look and have a beer, a very nice big steward quickly came over to "talk" to me. I convinced him that yes I did like Everton (I could tell him lots of things about the team) and that I did not have a bomb in the bag.
West Brom weakened and Blue scored 3 goals, the third a clinical header by the far post.
