He he he ... I love how people who've never been to Manchester like to hand out the stereotypes about Liverpool. There's something quite cute about it.
Imagine the scene when he finally makes it to Rainland ... LOL!

Know what?
An enterprising young scouser could make a lot of money on the visiting yanks in scouserland.
He could ..for example....set up a stall around car parking lots and offer security services for the protection of their hub caps....:)

Not funny any more you Chelsea Bastid..!:)
When we'd park in the streets before the game (in the old days!) There would be a couple of smart Kids juggling bricks asking "Can I mind yer car mister" sorta like saying "I hope I don't drop a brick on it"
We used to throw them a rag and say "wash the windows and meet me here later" You wouldn't say 'bugger off"

Watch out. There's someone on BS who considers any dig on You'll never walk alone a celebration of the people who died @ Hillsborough.
Common sense doesn't prevail in that arguement, but watch out nonetheless.
But yes, Sir Alex is a jerk, and Liverpool are boring. Who would have thought 12 years ago that people would be chanting "Boring Boring Liverpool" and Arsenal would be the side playing attractive football?

Well I don't. So I'm sorry if anybody was offended by a mention of something they feel is related to Hillsborough. It was intended as merely a jibe at how boring a team Liverpool are and how likely it is to fall asleep during most of their matches.

Manchester has FOUR times the crime rate of Liverpool for only 1.5 times the population
just in case your mathematics isnt that brilliant..let me simplify it for you...if (hypothetically speaking) Manchester and Liverpool had the same size population...it would mean Manchester has TWICE as many cases of crime than Liverpool does
and thats FACT
so, im afraid that little joke of yours is about 15 years out of date
And the people of Saint Helens and Stockport would like to thank the scousers for the extra traffic and buisness, but offer a simple reminder: door knobs and flatware are not to be used at petrol stations in lue of cash. thanks. ;)

An apology letter for boring football???
uh oh...
Hmm... we're new here in the Premiership (West Brom) and will have to learn the proper etiquette as we haven't been in the top flight in a while.
Will the Baggies have to send Fergie a letter of apology after our Darren Moore sits on Paul Scholes Saturday at Old Trafford? :D

Once you take 3 points off MU, you'll be expected to put forward your "plucky" and naive inexperience of top division football as mitigating circumstances for so failing to read the script, curl up, and die, in the face of so many better-paid, and frankly tabloid-fellated, prawns.

My point was nobody should be offended by it. I thought it was a nice jibe.

lol that was funny. Good point tuseef about the defender. It just shows how bad they are in spending. Here Manchester United are spending 45million$ for Ferdinand, while Inter just spent 23 million$ about half the price, on Cannavaro, who is arguably as good. Fergie should stop critiscizing all the other teams and get a little smarter.....
This is the kind of shortsightedness that bothers me....Rio is worth that much, why? Because first of all Cannavaro is older, much older then Rio. Rio has at least TWICE the amount of time in his prime ahead of him then Cannavaro does. Reason #2 is that Rio has played in the Premiership for a while, if nothing else Sir Alex will try to learn from his mistakes, last year he brought in a player who hadn't played in England (Blanc) and expected the adjustment of play to go on without a problem. It didn't, and Man U had a horrible season by their standards. Cannavaro plays in Italy, everyone knows the style of play exhibited in England and Italy are far different, Cannavaro would have again caused a period of adjustment. But most importantly is reason #3. People yell at Man U by saying this is a poor financial move but to the contrary. Rio Ferdinand's Man U jerseys will be jumping off the shelves, this move is one of the few transfers in European history which made almost all American papers the next day. Man U will recoup their investment in Rio soon enough, do you think Cannavaro jerseys would have sold well? No. Rio is arguably the hottest comodity in English soccer right now, Manchester not only paid for him as a player, they payed for him as a marketing tool.

Excellent..This my friends is what manure is all about...commodities..!
Buy the big names, have the fools (formally known as fans) buy the crap, to make money to buy more big names.
Then Martha dumps her stock...;)

You forgot "trophies". It's a DISASTER if we go only one season without silverware, other teams are just "disappointed". We have the clout to buy players to fix our problems. Don't blame us for running a good ship.

Oh, it IS a disaster? Oh, right ... well, how odd. Most "United fans" will tell anyone bored enough to listen that it's no big deal. There's a great deal of huffy, earnest indifference on the matter, in fact.
And United have problems? Again, I am flabbergasted. I have been comprehensively reminded more often than I care to count that there are no such things as problems on Planet "Man Yoo".
Have you checked in with HQ? I think your instructions for this season's view of the world got lost in the post.

Sorry to disappoint your assumption that I'm some sort of "ManYoo Muppet."
I never said that our team had BIG PROBLEMS, we had a particular problem last season that we have partially already dealt with. The other parts of our game remain sublime.

Have you??
Bet you tell ancient Scouser jokes. Bet you don't know that everyone in Liverpool and Leeds tells them too, only with Mancs as the butt of them. Bet you call Ferguson "Fergie". Bet you've called Liverpool fans "dippers" without knowing what it means, because you saw it on a website. Bet you don't know the way from the M62 to Salford Quays ...

Bet you eat rats in your stew. Scouser.
Bet you dumpster dive for your other food. Bindipper.
Bet you are running out of stereotypes for Mancs. Pikey cnut.

Not one of the above was a stereotype of a Manc. They are, however, entirely concordant with the typical "Man Yoo Muppet", to borrow your beautifully turned phrase.
And you live up to every one of them. Right down to not knowing the difference between a Manc and a "United fan".
And you don't know the way from the M62 to the Salford Quays. Or that it's called a "skip", not a "dumpster". Well, it is in Manchester, anyway.
