Hmmmm, you've certainly not made your case very clear here if you don't mind me saying.
So, your logic is to hate a set of fans for taking a liking to your club? I don't see this 'pat pat pat' you're referring to. When we play Everton, I want to beat you, vice versa you - There's no 'love in' apart from in your very vivid imagination. The reason
@Sunderland afc joined (I'm assuming) likewise myself, was to say how much we respect what you did in regards to Bradley Lowery, which was a touch of class. Since then, a lot (Not all) of Sunderland fans have wanted to see Everton do well. I'd said that from day one. I don't like your red neighbours, who I see as deluded and arrogant, so - I always want you to beat them come derby day. That's it, very simplistic really.
You're generalizing an entire set of fans on some very weird, utter hatred under a misconception that we're all 'salt of the earth' have 'soft spots' and your personal best, we're all "uniformly invertebrate". I will give you some credit, that's quite a well worded insult - uniformly invertebrate - so, fair play. lol
Drawing at home to Bolton doesn't spell doom, 'doom' was very much setting in last year - Keep up lad. We're in a crisis, but we'll recover, and I'll take great pleasure seeing our team rise from the ashes, we won't go bust, wishful thinking on your part.
