Manchester and Liverpool's rivalry was originally based on socio-economic factors, and was more of a love/hate relationship like two squabbling siblings. There was an intense but friendly rivalry between the football fans, my oldest brother went to Anfield in the 60's and stood on the Kop as a Utd fan, no problem. It's only when hooliganism raised it's ugly head that the rivalry took on a violent turn, which todays Johnny-come-latelys feel they have to aspire to. As for 'nicking' songs, it's hardly a recent trend, fans have always turned around other fans songs, or adapted them to suit their team, does one set of fans have a copyright? The Torres song is based on 'When Johnny Comes Marching' tune, which Utd have sang about John O'Shea for about 8 years, but I wouldn't claim that song as Utd's. The Mascherano song started in Italy. And as for YNWA?...

I admire your Corinthian spirit Keef, I find the most obnoxious vitriolic fans don't tend to come from the area of the team they support, they're easy to spot, they overdo the 'I hate so and so' act to compensate, wearing it like some badge of honour hoping they'll be readily accepted into the fold...

Fair point Keef, there's a thin line between banter and vitriol...

I've never understood fans leaving early, even the Utd ones who leave with 5 mins left so they can get out of the Trafford car park quicker, a lot can happen in the last 5 mins ;-)

Plastic flags for plastic supporters, half their 'support' hightailed it with 30 mins to go, at the very least they should've stayed until the end and applauded their team off, an acknowledgement for reaching the semi-final of a major competition...

The Robins are back!, they're building a nest in a neighbour's garden, similar place though, in an ivy clad wall about 4/5 foot of the ground, easy for a cat/fox to jump up, might suggest to neighbour to put some kind of wire mesh 'ring fence' guarding on the ground underneath the nest to prevent an animal from jumping up, any ideas?...

L'Arse have 4 players on yellow cards - Van Persie, Diaby, Song & Nasri; Utd 3 - Rooney, Tevez & Evra...I'm sure Rooney would take one for the team...

My guess is Tom Dixon? Ron Arad, and he kept his hat on throughout...

Looking forward to the game, should be a great atmosphere, and the tie is definitely not over, maybe 1st goal winner?...

I had a neighbour who decided to dump some of his rubbish into a skip I'd hired at about 11pm, after he finished I took out his rubbish and dumped it on his doorstep...never happened again...
