Eh?
Blaming Ferguson seems a bit daft, surely it was was the gizzillion trophies that have made the difference. Liverpool didnt really bother too much with the rivalry when they were winning trophies and dominating europe through the 80's. Its only when United started winning that it became a big issue. Its kinda like the Munster vs Leinster thing but not as serious
.
So you could not hear such favourites as 'Build a bonfire' and the rather odious 'we won it 3 times without killing anyone..........we won it 3 times' ?
The build a bonfire song is kinda catchy, nothing in it really (I presume you are not Liverpool born, and you dont live there), as for the rest ............. eh how frequently do you guys sing about Munich and the like?
With the greatest respect Logs' dear boy you just don't understand the rivalry, let alone the history of both clubs and fans. Blaming Slur Alex isn't as daft as you seem to think. He's been full of spite and bitterness since Liverpool manshamed his Aberdeen boys in a European Cup match.
And if you think it only 'became an issue when UTD started winning things' then I suggest you google or youtube the infamous semi final at Maine Road. And it is nothing like Leinster V Munster me aul china.
You think 'Bonfire' is catchy, but you don't offer an opinion on '3 times' ?
I or other supporters I know never have or ever will sing about Munich but I will say this...in a popular pub in Liverpool early 90s a young lad tried to get the song going but was roundly shut up. I never hear it sung.
The first game at Old Trafford directly after hillsborough the whole ground were up singing and waving in unison to the chorus of 'LIVERPOOL 95 LIVERPOOL 95'. Ill repeat that.......the whole ground.
Chas N Dave ballads it most certainly aint guv'
