Hating Liverpool is in the DNA

How can you support Everton and not hate Liverpool?

It's like having Yin without Yang.

 

[davek]

Hmmmmmmm.

It's kinda hard to advocate people put Benitez's past behind him with that stance, like.

Not at all.

He was their manager so he was attacked; he's our manager now so he's supported.

I guess you could if you lived in the America's, Australia or Outer Mongolia but I've never heard of anyone from the Merseyside region being able to do it

I'd you can find forgiveness for Rafael you can find love in your heart for Big Red. Gotta be consistent.

Dave i am with you but I hate Liverpool FC not Liverpool which is my birth city. In fact I am proud to be called a scouser and Liverpudlian.

Yes, that's what I meant.

 

[nsno-chris]

That's an abstraction. You cant divide one from the other.

You’d rather see everton relegated if it meant stopping the RS winning the league.

How is that the same thing?

 

[Toffeepot]

Would you be happy to see Liverpool snide their way to a title with our help?

Exactly.

There are 18 other teams in the league so why would we give up 12 pts to maybe stop Liverpool winning the league?! Ridiculous notion. If they win it, they win it. Better if we finish as high as we can. Would you actually be in any way disappointed if we somehow snagged a win v city at the weekend because its 3pts from one of Liverpool's title rivals? Strange af that

 

[navidson]

I'm hoping we are competitive but lose by the odd goal.

I'd donate the 12 points against Chelsea and City this season to the opposition and hope to take 3/4 points off Liverpool. That way we'd have done our bit to prevent them being in a title race.

They aren't good enough to win the league but that's no reason to encourage them.

Eh?

…’hate’ is a very strong sentiment when it comes to football. I dislike them lots.

Getting back on theme, I like DCL lots. I think he’s a fine player on the pitch and a terrific representative of the club off it. I am a little concerned that he’s suffered a big leg muscle injury as these can then impact a players career. Something the club needs to monitor despite how highly we rate him.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Can never understand the logic in sacrificing 12 points to two teams, to stop another team getting ahead, at a likely costly expense to our own club’s position

Yes I would.

And the only thing 'strange' here is an Evertonian being relaxed about Liverpool winning the league.

 

[davek]

Eh?

It's not too complex: I dont want Liverpool to win the league. Does that need explaining?

If we were capable of competing for a top 4 spot then it might be considered illogical. But we aren't capable of that, so seeing Liverpool disadvantaged is entirley lofical.
