Yes remembering hearing that and actually Liverpool fans probably see Man U as their big rivals now? Maybe it's because Everton haven't been up there with Liverpool and feel they are looked down on by the neighbours. Having an official song with words including "We don't care about the red sh**e" probably doesn't help! TBH I wasn't really aware Man U and Man City had a history of trouble between them hence the "earlier" kick-off time. Suppose that is what social media and some forums do to people these days.

Loved Keith Mercer. So committed, so brave, great striker, his bravery ultimately costing him his future with us after bravely scoring a cup game vs Colchester or gillingham.
Talking of ex-managers at the Cup Final; on the staff coach, heading back along the streets of Wembley after the game, Les Simmons (legendary groundsman) spotted Mike Keen walking home and tried to wave him on board, with all of us eaagerly encouraging him.
