I would imagine the Chelsea fans put the rivalry down to being blamed for the murder of 39 innocent fans not the attempted signing of 1 of your players.

...the fuck out of here, twat.
For a team and set of fans that bang on about 'istree, they certainly don't know their own do they?
Why will they always be? They haven't always been – in fact there was a time when you were chummy enough to fix the result of a match.
Scousers and Rags are peas in a pod – from our position looking at you both your behaviour and arrogance is identical - both fail to acknowledge anything before your run of success or how piss-poor you both were. Your mob are probably worse because you hide behind your shiny trophy haul as if it happened only yesterday in denial of the mid-table also-rans you now are, and have been for years.
And saying a Europa league tie is bigger than your chance of winning silverware, well just makes you sound like the sad, bitter child you probably are. So go on la, enjoy your thursday night big games - i'll enjoy our Wembley victories instead.
Got to disagree with FF86......The League Cup Final was bigger for us, as it guaranteed a trophy if we won it. Of course, they are are biggest rivals, but beating them guarantees nothing except a quarter=final.......but those insisting City is somehow our cup final now, I've seen you beat us once at Anfield in 30 odd years, so it says as much about your team as ours, that you haven;t beaten us the last few years. We don't raise our game, you just seem to have a mental block at our place. .......As for denigrating the Europa League, we have 3 UEFA cups, no trophy is beneath us and shouldn't be beneath anyone. As fans surely we want silverware.

In the 1970's one of my student flatmates was a big Liverpool fan and I went with him to Old Trafford to see United-Liverpool games. I can tell you that the rivalry then was nothing compared to the one the rags had with us. They barely mentioned Liverpool in those days; they were just another leading club. The media have created the Liverpool/United rivalry because they're two of the most followed clubs in the world and there's money in it for them. And that suits you because it's all you've got these days. Neither of you are likely to be in the top four in May and it'll be back to Thursday nights (although you might be lucky to get that).
You and us aren't rivals because we operate in different orbits these days but you hate us because we've become (or are becoming) what you used to be. You can throw the "5 times" nonsense at us but we're far, far more likely to make it one time (and possibly more) than you are to make it six.

Ouch.
My nephew is lovely lad born at St Mary's.
His dad is a dipper, my sister is agnostic. Been to City 12 times klanfield once. He is a dipper because his dad's propaganda has been incessant. Still after Villa, we start talking about the Villa and tell him that they had won the CL and we're once a quality team. We talk about English teams dominating Europe. I then mention how club's were banned after Heysel.
"Heysel, what's Heysel?"
I explained what happened, very fairly as l have friend who went. My nephew who is 15 knew nothing about it, but piped "But it wasn't the Liverpool fans fault?" I told him some certainly were involved, l asked why he thought it's wasn't their fault?
" well dad says.
The point is those fuckers have airbrushed out of history one event while milking another for every tear, penny and media puff piece they can get.

I did some looking into it a while back for another thread, and the rivalry certainly didn't exist in before the 1980's – sure there was animosity between the two clubs, but no-moreso than with any other club at the time. It's an invented rivalry, created by the media that both sets of fans have bought into - now you have fans that were born in the 80's or later that know no different, they believe whatever bullshit they're told.
