There are two things going on here I think club rivalry and intra city rivalry. Liverpool and Manchester generally have a mistrust and enmity of each other. This goes right back to the industrial revolution when Liverpool started as top dog and Manchester caught up and was a direct competitor to Liverpool. The Manchester ship canal caused a lot of bother at one time. That enmity still goes on to this day and the reason we hate Manchester United is they are the top club in that city as are Liverpool here. There’s many other reasons too of course but that’s the bedrock but it’s rarely spoken of.

i agree with that there is no doubtin the north west rivaly between the two big cities , but i also believe the local city rivaly is just as intence with everton , a i said No1 and maybe joint No 1 it has to be everton and manchester united nothing and no one comes near on and off the pitch .

Can't stand Manure.....it's the arrogance of that club and their manager that makes me despise them so much....When watching EPL games here in Australia and Manure are playing they have so much footage of that dirty rednose and his arrogant persona it drives me crazy. Although I despise them so much I still have respect for them because they have built their own wealth and success which is a credit to them but seeing Manure lose games gives me almost as much delight as watching LFC win them. There's no better feeling than we we win and I hope it happens a hell of a lot this season.

Can't stand the crap the Wenger comes out with so it has to be Arsenal.

But there is one team i refuse to watch and that is Blackburn because they have got to be the most boring team in the premiership - ever.

My primary emotion for Everton is one of sympathy rather than hatred whereas I've always hated Man utd and always will

However, they have always been our rivals - partly as they are the only club in England that you could argue is bigger than liverpool - so I do have a certain, albeit begrudging, respect for Man Utd that I could nbever find for these plastic sugar daddy sides - namely Chelsea and Man City, two clubs that are so sh*t the only way they get success on the football pitch is by throwing money it - which shows them for the low-budghet cheapskates they really are

Whereas I've always hated Chelsea (even when they were sh*t) - primarily for their f***wit know jack sh*t about football, Nazi-saluting, scumbag fans - I used to actually quite like city, whereas now I hate them

Hoew could you not when they have someone as vile and useless as Gary Cook as their chairman

kemlyn that is a good point tbf, but i do agree the rivalry stems from the ship canal many many years ago, Liverpool and Manchester have competed for years and not just in footballing terms.

Majority of my family are blues and i work on the dockroad so i deal wid the bitters on a regualar basis lol, But Everton don't really bother me apart from when we play them, i just think there quite funny more than anything, and there fans can be comical.

I can't begin to explain how much i hate the scum and its fans end of.

other teams such as chelski & citeh just "bother" me, there plastic clubs.

I agree

But Man Utd, much like us, have always been there or thereabouts

These other teams - City, Chelsea - weren't - and yet they are now finishing higher than us in the league on a consistent basis, all due to one man's money (or rather two men's money)

That's a basis for despising them - surely?
