The way SKY are promoting the Dipper/Rag game , i was mistakenly thinking there was a trophy at stake , Champs league ? Premier League decider ? FA Cup Final ? apparently not it's the team that has never won a Premier League title (apart from the April 2014 trophy) versus the club that won the "cup that no f*cker wants to play-in". Biggest game in world football ? Barca v Real and Boca Juniors v River Plate are just two games far bigger than the Dog & Duck versus the Pig and Whistle that takes place at dinner time on Saturday.
Luckily i have got a long drive down to Plymouth on Saturday and a ferry to catch to Spain on Sunday so i can dodge the majority of the bullshit surrounding the "Has Been" cup final.
 
I have far more important things to do at lunchtime on Saturday, like driving to God's country for a far more important game.

Boca v River is never bigger than Utd v Liverpool mate.
 
It's boring this biggest game in world football being rolled out this week. Two football clubs who dominated at different times whilst the other one was shite and irelavent. Hardly a rivalry is it? All to stop talking about the elephant in the room which is Manchester City who are set to crush the pair of them into the ground, perhaps they should merge together instead, they might stand a better chance.

Was unfortunate enough to hear the XS radio united podcast yesterday. The pods presenters were typical arrogant rags, convincing themselves that Saturdays game was the biggest worldwide and always has been and we are unimportant. They were also convinced they would win by three or four goals.

I can guarantee the local rags will be in the pub tomorrow night, sulking if they lose their massive derby but will be missing for at least a fortnight if we only get a draw at the swamp.

Dipperag F.C. , has a nice ring to it , it wouldnt matter where their home games are played , they could do a world tour like the Harlem Globetrotters used to , just playing exhibiton games , visiting all their loyal subjects from Timbuktoo to Belfast.
 
it is a big game. its a 3 way race for 4th along with arsenal. top 3 is done and dusted with us the chavs and spurs so that 4th spot is up for grabs. two of the managers of those three also rans will lose their jobs.
 
Actually the facts (if they are the facts) are a bit sobering

Sky report from last year

"An estimated 700m people worldwide tuned into their last meeting in March 2015, when Steven Gerrard was sent off seconds after coming on and Juan Mata's scissor-kick stunner sealed victory for United at Anfield.

In comparison, Barcelona's clash with Real Madrid, which took place later that day, was watched by an estimated 400m-500m people. The Champions League final in June had less than half the estimated viewers of the Liverpool v United clash across the planet.

Manchester United's win at Liverpool was also shown in more countries than any other fixture - over 200. That's four times as many as the latest El Classico"
 
There are not 200 countries in the world. According to the U.N. there are only 193 sovereign states. So the media are not only making up the news they are making up new countries.
