easy Spangles... I'm giving you some moral support here but stretching it to Manchester maybe a step too far. esp with the 2nd leg still to come!   nope not lookin for any so your alrite, am just makin people aware that being bitter or hating toffs or United fans is way off line as we live to close to one another for lives not to be entwined a bit. Anyway I think after Arsenal going out the toffs will fancy there chances a bit more now and will be hoping for maybe a Watford or Palace semi final draw... When it comes to Manchester teams or any other teams outside the city, living close to them has little to do with it. In today's world where people have migrated within a country and internationally, and where television has projected football teams beyond geographical boundaries, our lives are intertwines with supporters of teams from across the country. I have family members and friends living in all parts of the UK covering support for Southampton, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, West Ham, Chelsea, Leeds United to name a few. So I agree there shouldn't be vitriolic hatred on a human level.... but I still maintain some element of footballing rivalry where there are certain teams that I don't wish success on. Manchester United being top of that list.

The City doesn't have to come first but I can see why it may do for some. At the end of the day, it's only football and we have empathy for those from other cities as well as our own. So for example, we now have two teams in the semi finals that have never won the cup - Watford and Crystal palace. Everton have won league titles, FA Cups and a European trophy. Wouldn't it be great if say Watford won the cup?

Did I miss the Zombie outbreak? Bit melodramatic Mr Wilks,I expected more from a potential allie come the appocolyspe .
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Yeah a bit Walking Dead there! I've got my piece of wood with nails in it ready for when it happens!
Just given up on the place if I'm honest. Same bollox from the same, well you know.

As i mentioned earlier, the world is a much smaller place now. We have connections with people across the country and across international boundaries. Watford winning the cup may not do anything for the city of Liverpool but it will give joy to people somewhere else who have never experienced it before. They too are our brothers and sisters. Similarly, whilst winning a world cup could do some good for the country, there are other countries who perhaps need the boost more than we do so wouldn't it be good if they won it instead? e.g. an eastern European, South American or African country.

I can see where your coming however I have been brought up to look after your own first and foremost and that's what people from Liverpool do, this was no more evident throughout Hysel and Hillsborough where the city had to close ranks and stick together...
