Think it has more to do with Everton moving 3 points ahead of Liverpool and into a European position than the building (bad blood?) rivalry that has developed. Plus, anytime you beat the Champions at home, it is a celebration!
We have to realize that we are a BIG SCALP these days, and EVERY CLUB that beats us (usually only a handful every year now!!) is going to celebrate like they won the Cup! For them, it IS winning the Cup!!
Everton deserved the win. Not sure that ANY linesman would NOT have given offside for the first "goal," Osman will never get as lucky on a 25 yard scuffed shot EVER again, a deflection with the last kick of the game a few minutes after the ref bottled a stone cold penalty by giving it 2 yards OUTSIDE the box, instead of 2 yards INSIDE!!
On the KEY events, it was a game of inches and small margins. However, City need to look at the Everton performance and SEE WHAT A HARD WORKING PERFORMANCE LOOKS LIKE! We look like we want to WALK THE FUCKING BALL INTO THE NET and are too good to work hard, close down, be first in the tackle, and leave it ALL on the field.
