Liverpool Echo. Good God.
Just been on .
WOW.
Prestwich Blue as usual , has been both eloquent and firm in his reply.
I was right up for it on Wednesday as it was as obvious as the day is long what would unfold.
I do have previous encounters sat with Everton fans which have helped fuel my anger.
I befriended an Everton fan a few years ago in Spain and we met up as families several times back in the UK. I sat in the Main stand at Goodison park with him and his mates watching the game under Sven when we were going well and we lost 1-0. I showed respect , they all new I was of the lighter blue persuasion and I kept quiet without issue.
I returned the compliment the following Xmas and sat him in the Colin Bell with us the day Cahill scored with the very last kick of the game to beat us once again 1-0.Within a minute of the game starting he jumped up in unison with his fellow gobby scouse bastards to sing their lovely rendition of "Everton, Everton , Everton". We have sadly lost touch.
I was sat in the directors seats a couple of years before I think when yet again as the scouse bastards put us to the sword on the pitch and this time it was non other than the very loveable Derek Hatton who could not contain his emotions as he jumped around in sheer delight with his cronies. Fabio Capello was sat right behind him and was about as impressed as the rest of the VIPs present (I use the term loosely of course ).
And so to Wednesday ,
We were having a couple of beers in City Square and left to queue to get in about 10 minutes before kick off.
We bumped in to about 15 / 20 youngish men who had just left the tram who decided to sing "Oh Manchester is full of shit" slap bang in the middle of several hundred City fans.
Was I rude or out of order reacting by pointing out that they should shut their" fuckin gobs you scouse twats".
Sat in the ground when Barkley scored I did happen to notice the guy 6 rows in front of us jump up and fist pump the air . I will admit to being a tad angry but my mate told me that we were to give the lad a break so I did. However , having sat down briefly said scouse bastard decided to get back up on to his feet whils't turning around 360 degrees continuing his fist pumping and shouting something along the lines of "take that you Manc cunts"
Was I rude or out of order reacting by pointing out to an utterly out of his depth Showsec steward that "get the piss taking scouse bastard out of my block or I will fuckin remove him for you"
So I make no apology for having bottles , some coinage (not much you tight scouse bastards) and a flare aimed in my direction by merely pointing out from behind the relative safety of the green coach park fence that their somewhat premature dream of a well overdue trip to the smoke was indeed dead on its feet "You'l win fuck all again Everton".
As Bill has pointed out , they truly are worse than the rags.
