Probably very high

It left a sour taste that one as Lescott downed tools and Hughes was giving it the big one if I remember. Then Moyes waded in and it turned ugly. There was a lack of class around that move, something you would never see City doing now. Plus you didnt see any issue with Stones..... or Rodwell (remember him?).

We have been some of your biggest supporters the last few years as there has only been you standing in the way of that lot and Silverware - making them even more unbearable.

Think it probably had more to do with us both being direct rivals at the time.

Everton were City's bogey team for years and we were trying to overtake you, and Everton probably saw City as money grabbers trying to cherry-pick the best players from the teams around them. By the time we were trying to sign Rodwell, and then Stones, City had "earned" their place at the top and Everton had accepted that their best players would (more than likely) come to us if we ever pushed hard enough.

This forum has gone through phases with regards to which team it hates the most (overall) and it often reflects who our biggest rivals are at any given time. When I first signed up in 2009 it was United, Everton, and Spurs. By 2011 it was United, Spurs, and Chelsea. By 2014 it was United, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Ever since 2016 it's just been United and Liverpool because nobody else has really gotten close enough to us long-term.

Basically ever since the gaps between the two clubs widened, the more things have calmed down.

I didnt know the Dutch airports were managed by Manchester Airport Group?

IMPOSSIBLE …. You can’t associate ‘manage’ with Manchester Airport Group … worse ‘managed’ airport in the world, PRE OR POST COVID

Understood, but still requires policing and is a major drain on diminished resources in the capital.

Don't worry, klopps tits will be falling out about congestion soon.

Here's hoping!! Fkin buffoon that he is...

 

[BufordUSABlue]

You do realise we (Everton) are playing and at home so bigger scouse crowd. I get you obviously hate us but at least throw your accusations around based on facts mate

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!

Should have all played last weekend and not the weekend coming.

I can understand the police issues next weekend but it was a knee jerk to not play last week.

Yep, bizarre decision to call last week off. There was literally no reason to and it now looks even sillier considering the funeral would obviously impact this week's games. Two weeks of football postponed because the governing bodies are an indecisive bunch of idiots.

You should be happy. It gives Potter more time to work with that shower of shite;)

PSV fans another bunch to be left out of pocket with the Arsenal game off.

On top of Napoli this week its a real downer for footy fans, would be gutted if they did that to us.

Why cant the army get involved in security?

Army on the streets is not a good look even if there were any where near enough to do it

Still cant believe why people dont get why games are cancelled when the biggest event in our last seventy years needs policing

Yeah I don’t personally mind it for selfish reasons but I can also acknowledge it was a stupid decision to cancel last week’s games. We have a CL game tomorrow, but otherwise it’s kind of a little preseason for Potter :)

My wife's best friend is a policewoman and regularly works at Preston North end

This weekend she has been drafted to London to police the funeral

I'd imagine Rags v Leeds is high risk and deploys a lot of Officers

Been to a few down the years and the ob are drafted in from all over ands it’s a cat c gane which is high risk .

Army on the he streets is a massive no no in this country

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!

 

[Protein Junkie]

I do try to make sure I use the term “Dippers” and not Scouse in the hope Everton fans know I mean the Red shite and not them.

The issue was last weekend. No reason to cancel then apart from rush to be seen to do right thing. Was always going to be logistical issues this weekend.
