The Rags/Liverpool rivalry is still a thing in Asia and USA but City are rapidly catching up in terms of fanbase, especially in the states. When I went to school in the Manchester in the 70s City and United fans both hated Liverpool and Everton because of their feral fanbases but the main football rivalry was always City v United.
Yes being from Liverpool our rivalry has always been with the toffees they were the team you always wanted to beat. The rivalry with United grew up based on jealousy on both sides.. they were jealous of us winning all the trophies and we were jealous of no matter what we won United kept getting all the headlines, can remember us beating Benfica in the European Cup quarters one year in the stadium of light 4 - 1 and next morning papers were headlining Bryan Robsons dislocated shoulder.
Liking it.. made me chuckle, good post keep them coming and there’s me thinking mancs who are famous around the country for being dour folk have no sense of humour.
