fergie is over 30.

Focus - Fergie has already said this year its their biggest game. And every Utd fan I know would prefer a win over LIverpool to city or chelsea. There is more to the emotions of a football fan than points which you would know if you profess to attend the matches.

True Everton were probably the biggest rivals in the 80's but Utd were a very very close second. I know I attended all those games home and away both of those matches were firestorms and Utd were mid table back then.

He does not look it

i would still say everton is the biggest game of the season followed by united and the rest , last week we got eat by united yes bad , but i havent seen or spoken to one man utd fan and very unlikely to , but i come into contact with everton fans every day and thats why everton is still the biggest game in my opinion .

Thats very true in Liverpool city the rival is everton and I see working in the city reds and blues meet each other all the time. However there are vast numbers of Liverpool fans (I would suggest more trhan liverpool city numerically) who come from the North West of England. I include myself in this category from cheshire. In this case its Manchester Utd no doubt at all for exactly the same reason you are rubbing shoulders with them everyday. All the Uts supporters I know (and I know a lot) all see the Liverpool game as the biggest even over city and even in todays status.

United is the biggest game in my opinion. the derby with everton is a close second but United-Liverpool all the way for me.

United and Liverpool are nothing games now in a footballing sense, they dont even register on the rival scene as we may as well be playing in the first division we are that far apart, alrite I accept from a personal point of view some Liverpool fans have to live with some United fans and they get a bit of stick, but it would be the same if a Liverpool fan lived in Birmingham he would get stick off Villa and Birmingham fans just the same. The Liverpool Everton game has far more history to it and the toffs will always be our greatest rivals both on and off the pitch.

In Liverpool itself that is true. However everywhere else its Utd. And by far most of the fanbase is in the latter category

I agree most of the support is from outside, my point is Liverpool and United has no footballing rivalry, the rivalry your talking about is the history between the two Cities, Ship canal, Industries e.t.c. and as this is a football forum, there is no footballing rivalry between the clubs because we both operate to different agendas regarding what is success for each Club. I think if United dont win the League and Champions League each season the season goes down as being a bad one, much like us in the 80's whereas if we can finish in the top 6 or 7 and maybe win a Capital Cup or F.A.Cup this is seen as real success and a great season.

you obviously dont know the club very well. new fan are you?
