I and no doubt a lot of other true City fans don't 'Hate your lot' in fact I have always quite liked the Toffee's (despite many a running battle leaving Goodison over the years!) and their fans. Its a Red vs Blue City like ours and I fking hate red, both Manc and Scouse versions! I also have a few mates who are Evertonian's and are great lads, one is a good friend of 'Andy' and is brilliant company!
I never use Evertonian's in the same breath as those disgusting vile bastards across the park from you mate!
Seconded..
With the exception of United, I always supported English teams in Europe etc as a kid/growing up, including Liverpool. I particularly favoured Everton as I always thought them to be my 'other' Blue team, especially with the great players they had down the years (I admired especially Alex 'The Golden Vision' Young, Colin Harvey and Kevin Sheedy)
However, in recent years since The Sheikh arrived, I've changed my view and certainly wouldn't support clubs such as Liverpool or Arsenal in Europe ever again.
That change of heart is down to the behaviour of the 'Red Collective' which has been behind countless attacks aimed at undermining City's growth over the past decade. Liverpool and its supporters have been especially culpable, with some appalling behaviours both on the pitch (eg the reactions to the Ederson and Yaya Toure injuries; the booing of the National Anthem three years ago at Wembley etc) and off it (hacking our computer system; organising letters of complaint to the PL and UEFA etc)
Like you, it does give me pause for thought when I have a pop at Liverpool and its supporters for these actions. Using the term 'Scouse' isn't specific enough sometimes and could be taken as including Evertonians in the criticism, when that isn't the intention!
Good luck to Everton, anyway. If they were to win a pot any time soon, so long as it wasn't against us I'd be cheering them on!
