Blues or Reds? Who’s Liverpool’s Deadliest Rival

I think we all know the answer to that, but there’ll be an extra dash of spice in the Scouse derby a month from now, with both teams in desperate need of a landmark win to cheer their fans up a bit. So what will the two sets of fans be winding each other up with in the pubs around Goodison Park?

They’ve played each other exactly 100 times at Goodison, with Everton edging it 36 v 34 with 30 games drawn. Not a great record for the home side, compared to Liverpool’s 41 v 24 and 34 draws at Anfield. But who cares about all that? What are the real reasons your club’s better than theirs?

Come on, Scousers, send us your best barbs and we’ll see who comes out on top.

United v Liverpool – 4 days to go…

Manchester United v Liverpool: is it the fiercest rivalry in English football? United fans reckon they succeeded in Fergie’s ambition to “knock Liverpool right off their perch”. Scousers reckon they still rule the roost, having won more trophies than the Red Devils. Liverpool’s tame exit from the Champions League will have delighted United fans, and with United winning at Southampton to extend their winning run to five and Liverpool failing to score against Sunderland last weekend, United will be favourites – not like last year, when David Moyes surrendered the initiative before a ball had been kicked. Rightly so, as it turned out.

Whatever happens on the pitch, the battle for bragging rights among the two sets of fans will be brutal. And by Sunday evening we’ll know who’s added a goal to their tally.

The best gift for Man United fans this Christmas and the best gift for Liverpool fans this Christmas.
