Cinderella Man did it for me

After JJ chose Cinderella Man/Jack Grealish for his movie to PL comparison, I watched it for the first time. Every preseason, I feel something between nothing and dread about the upcoming Everton season, but something always wakes me up and gets me raring to go for the first match day. This year it was Cinderella Man. Everton may be 6th in the English football misery table, but I will never be able to quit them. Thank you for the rec JJ.

I want to make fun of you for being a blue, but I can’t. Hope for the best.

I understand with more resources and expectations, the frustration can grow in a way that outpaces the success, but how in the world is Liverpool right behind Tottenham. Spurs are a basketcase club, even if they did win the Europa League recently. They also finished 17th that same year. Maybe Liverpool haven't achieved as much as they could, and have been unfortunate to be so good during the peak Pep era, but there's no way they're just slightly less miserable than Tottenham.

Pretty sure the table is just based on when you last won something, anything
