As reported by journalist Caoimhe O’Neill on XArsenal fans could be heard singing “feed the Scousers” during Saturday night’s game at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Instead of ignoring it, Everton immediately put the Fans Supporting Foodbanks logo on the big screen.
“Quality of Everton,” O’Neill wrote. “Absolutely embarrassing for the Arsenal fans singing it.”
The moment cut through the noise and reframed what opposition supporters often think is harmless banter.
Everton’s response highlights city-wide values that go beyond football
Arsenal fans chant ‘feed the Scousers’ and Everton immediately put the Fans Supporting Foodbanks logo on the screen. Quality from Everton. Absolutely embarrassing for the Arsenal fans singing it.

For Liverpool fans, the chant is unfortunately nothing new, especially around Christmas when away games often end and poverty-based songs find fair game.
What these supporters often miss is that Merseyside has been actively tackling the issue for years through community-led initiatives.
Fans support food banks allows supporters to bring food to matches to give city families access to essentials all year round.
That work has repeatedly extended beyond club boundaries, including when Everton donated food immediately after last December’s postponed Goodison derby, turning disappointment into something tangible for the community.
The same initiative has also spread across the country, including trips to Wembley for matches involving other clubs, further reinforcing the message that hunger does not wear club colours.
The unity between Everton and Liverpool exposes the chant for what it really is
The song itself says more about those who sing it than about the city it focuses on.
While opposition fans think they are mocking Liverpool and Everton supporters, the reality is they are highlighting how organised, proactive and united Merseyside still is.
As Dave Kelly, chairman of Fans Supporting Foodbanks, previously put it: “Together we are stronger.”
That feeling was evident again this weekend, with Everton’s response reinforcing something Liverpool fans already understand.
There is rivalry on the field, but off the field the city stays together.
At Christmas and throughout the year, initiatives such as Fans Supporting Foodbanks continue to provide real help, whether at Anfield, Bramley Moor or beyond.
The opposition chants will continue, but moments like Saturday cause them to land flat, exposing ignorance rather than causing offence.
For Liverpool spectators it was a reminder that while songs come and go, the city’s values remain constant.
