I can't lie, I am a Man City fan. My guess is that you understand why I have joined!

I am a born and bred Mancunian but I lived in Liverpool for several years. My son and daughter were raised in the city and my son has had years of grief for being a City fan. Fortunately, he is mates with a load of Evertonians who couldn't give a toss about him being a City fan, it was the other side of the city that he grew to have an issue with and he has passed it up to me!

I have just read a sublime post on Bluemoon, cut and pasted from here, that compelled me to join. It was a passionate diatribe indeed!

I can just imagine how well this will be received on RAWK.

An alliance of GOT and Bluemoon.

This is the post originally from here:

Just copied this from an Evertonion on GOT.... Quality post

Been reading the story about Kompany leaving City over on the BBC and the extent to which his eleven years of superlative service have been taken over by bitter RS goons is a new low point. One idiot even goes to the trouble of calling them 'Man-Cheat-Ster City', every single time.

I'm close to losing patience now. I know there are plenty of them lurking on here, so let me spell a few things out...

We are not jealous of your 'success'. It is you displaying that trait in tragic abundance at the moment.

You have succeeded in alienating the entire football supporting community country wide. remember the Millwall song 'No one likes us, we don't care'? Well, that is now Liverpool FC. Except for the fact that you DO care. You are so desperate for approval and love that you have denied yourself those very things. And yet you do not comprehend irony. Which is itself ironic.

We do not enjoy a healthy rivalry with you based on banter and good natured ribbing. We hate you. We hate the way you are insufferable winners and worse losers. We hate the way you carry yourselves as a club and in the community. We hate the way you seek to intimidate and bring down those who would disagree with your party line. Most of all, we hate the way you have dragged the name of the city you claim to represent through the mud. Again and again and again and again. We hate the way the antics of your deplorable followers have brought, and continue to bring, shame to all well-meaning followers of the game.

We are bitter, yes. But we are bitter because you denied ourselves and other innocent clubs the chance of European competition and possible further development which was otherwise stymied. We are bitter because you did this by murdering - yes, that IS the word - 39 opposing fans without the slightest hint of self-awareness or guilt. We hate the way you now feel yourselves victims every time anything much less significant comes your way.

We hate #JFT96. We hate the fact that when a genuine tragedy came knocking at the door of your club you sought to take over the genuine wave of support and mercilessly weaponise it as an instrument to gain you the attention and love you crave. We hate the fact that WE as a club respected it and YOU lied about it. Here is a fact. Mention the Bradford Fire to anyone of a certain age and they will grow quiet with genuine sadness remembering that awful sight, which was so soon forgotten by the media and, most of all, you. Mention Hillsborough and you will often get rolled eyes. You did that. You and you alone, by cheapening it to the level of a bad tackle or disallowed penalty.

Finally, to sum up, let me point out what you should be most envious of: the fact that there is a club representing the city of Liverpool who are not reviled by opposing supporters up and down the land, who are not laughed at or jeered, and who could be in the hunt for a trophy without the whole of the country begging for anyone else to win. That club is Everton FC. That is why we are Evertonians and why we love it.

In short, We Are Better Than You. In every way measurable apart from league points, which is the least significant off all the issues raised above.

And that won't change any time soon.

So go away and play in your own sandpit.

That was actually me. catcher is indeed erudite, but I have my moments... :cool:

Interesting it got picked up on in this way, because no-one commented on it in the original thread...

I spotted it in the Liverpool thread on Bluemoon and thought it was a marvellous post. The comments after it, in support of this forum made me join. I have developed a bit of an Everton 'soft spot' over my time in Liverpool, mainly through my son going to the odd game and chats with his mates. As long as we (City fans) don't pick up the arrogance of success, City and Everton fans should 'get on'.
