When has it happened previously?
eh?
This season Everton played at home to Man City. Everton were in a mess and in danger of going down, but Liverpool were top of the league on 42 points that day. If Man City won, Everton would have known it would help to stop Liverpool win the league. Were Everton fans hoping for Man City to win to stop their rival winning the league, even though it would have been detrimental to Everton?
You are comparing something halfway through a season (in December no less) to the penultimate game where a title outcome would become a certainty depending on the result. It's completely different, not even remotely comparable. If the Spurs vs City game happened as regularly scheduled months ago, this whole conversation would not have been a thing at all.
Also the Liverpool vs Everton rivalry is pretty tepid but that's a different point
I wouldn't call it tepid.
It has become a little less antagonistic because for so many years now the two clubs have operated at different ends to the table and that looks likely to be the case for some time to come.
BTW it is only Everton that somehow think that they are "The people's club" in the city, something they made up themselves to make them feel better and to try and counter the worldwide support now enjoyed by the Super Reds.
Perhaps Spurs' fans might do the same as just chanting "yid army" doesn't seem to have done the trick.
