Everton or Man U?

I was thinking about what to Post about during the Match, a pretty uninspiring Match and I had come up with the quality on show from all four Full backs.

Phil Neville, Baines, Chuckle and Evra all to me were excellent today and then Gosling's Second.

Dear oh dear. Chuckle caught in two minds and Evra fast asleep.

Perhaps Evilton's impersonation of Arsenal ( in slow motion) took Taggert and the Rags by suprise.

Jonny Evans will be world class in a couple of years...you could see it in his performance today, and in midweek.

LOL.

He's MILES better than Neds I'll have you all know...

They're equal imo, young and loved by the fans, have the club deep at heart, but are both average and probably won't make it, as for Rodwell, just bang in a big bid for him, one they can't refuse.

I'll tell you something, there's no doubt Rodwell will be on our radar...although Evans made him look good earlier by defending like a fucking buffoon!

As a londoner I ask :

The Manc-Scouse rivalry, where did it start? It's not just a football thing is it? Or is it?

Of course I know there is a Liverpool-Man Utd hatred, but wasn't sure if there was/is an Everton-City one. How do City fans feel about Liverpool (the club)? The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Apologies for all the questions...

It all started in the 1800s when the Mancunians used to accuse Liverpudlians of stealing ships cargo that came from abroad, docked at Liverpool and was due for transportation up to the Manchester Ship Canal. That was where the origins of the "thieving Scouser" reputation came from.

In all honesty, Manchester is actually significantly worse than Liverpool for crime.

The footballing rivalry built up in the 50s due to the intense dislike of the two populations of each other. United's main anti-Scouse rivalry was with Everton, as was ours, as Everton were the bigger of the two clubs at the time.

The Liverpool-United hatred only really kicked in in the 1970s when Liverpool were winning everything yet United still commanded the press coverage. For the first time in the game, there were two clubs much bigger than the rest in terms of the national coverage and the hatred was born.

There was always a mini hatred between City and Scouse teams but Liverpool have largely been tolerated because of their mutual hatred of the rags.

The City-Everton thing has been going on with me for years because I know lots of Everton fans and they are twats to a man, always sniping, always having a pop. For the majority though, it's only kicked off this year over the Lescott affair. They are bitter and jealous about our money and we have just formed a hatred of Moyes.

I wanted United to win today for all sorts of reasons.

Thanks for the reply.

would rather have utd than everton, they are getting to close for comfort. the way they are playing and the way we are playing they will finish above us. get ready for all the fans coming on gloating.

I just don't see them as a threat. They haven't go the squad. They're playing well but they are a couple of injuries away from being toilet. They're squad is too thin to be a genuine top four prospect.

They say that about Everton every year, but they keep getting into Euro football.
