I've had a long-held dislike of Liverpool which has intensified since Rodgers joined them. I think this comes about for me by personal, though limited, experience of their fans and the media's pandering and simpering to them and their Club. They are treated as cheeky chappies and great sports. Well, they might be when they're winning but they're like many others when losing - fairly nasty. Second thoughts, in my personal experience, they're not even too good when they winning.
Surprisingly, I've always found Everton and Everton supporters to be exactly what Liverpool FC is reputed to be, knowledgeable, friendly and sporting. Consequently I like Everton and generally want them to do well - except against us, obviously.
How can this be? They're only across a park from one another in the same city. Partly personal perceptions, I suppose. One of the puzzles, delights or annoyances of being a lifetime football fanatic.
