Therefore it's no surprise the anti-Liverpool songbook is almost as long as the East Lancs Road, which separates the two cities Anti-Liverpool songs sang by United fans Despite their recent lack of success, Liverpool still remain the team most United fans love to hate.

Whilst there's no love lost between the two cities at the best of times, a history dating back to when Manchester built the Ship Canal to avoid paying taxes to Liverpool, the two football clubs have always been the country's most deadliest, yet successful, rivals.

In the 's and 's, Liverpool were the most successful team whilst a poor United side proudly boasted the most fans and highest attendances even when they played in the Second Division. As United started to improve in the mid's, their passage into Europe was only blocked by a UEFA ban - imposed to all English clubs as a result of rioting Liverpool fans in Heysel.

The Hillsborough disaster of calmed things down a little with United fans respecting the dead by not singing about them, and in turn, Liverpool fans stopped singing their many songs about the Munich Air Disaster.

Over recent seasons, the hatred has intensifed, especially after the FA Cup game at Anfield when Alan Smith broke his leg and both fans and players were attacked on leaving the stadium.

With United only one league title away from matching Liverpool's 18, the rivalry will continue to get stronger no doubt. And you can print that! Rafa's crackin' up First sang after Rafa Benitez's amazing 'Fact' press conference, which was shortly followed by a run of 4 games without a win for Liverpool and an FA Cup exit. Top Of The League And That's A Fact! Top of the league, And that's a fact! He's just a fat Spanish waiter.

Are You Watching Merseyside? Are you watching? Are you watching Merseyside? Murderers chant Mur-derers! First heard in response to the 'Liv-er-pool ' song after the near-fatal attack on a Bulgarian barman after Liverpool's Champions League Final in Istanbul and Heysel 20 years earlier. He looks just like a transvestite, Torres! He wears a frock, He loves the cock, He sells his arse on Albert Dock Fernando Torres, Carragher's bit on the side Whilst Scousers are famed for stealing many things, it came as a shock that they would choose to honour their new Spanish forward with one of United's favourite tunes.

Such adaptations are common place with Arsenal fans but Liverpool are normally more original. Perhaps they couldn't get the tune out of their heads after John O'Shea marched down the wing to score United's last minute winner in front of the Kop in United fans responded with this adaptation although most die- hard reds prefer to still sing the original 'Johnny Goes Marching Down The Wing'.

In The Liverpool Slums In the Liverpool slums, They knock on the door when they want something to eat, They find a dead rat and they think it's a treat, In the Liverpool slums.

If You All Hate Scousers to the tune of 'If You're Happy and You Know It' If you all hate scousers clap your hands [clap, clap, clap] If you all hate scousers clap your hands [clap, clap, clap] If you all hate scousers, all hate scousers, all hate scousers, clap your hands Oh Merseyside! He hates Scousers! If you want to go to heaven when you die. Feed the scousers, Let them know it's Christmas time.

Sign on, sign on, with no hope in your heart. Have you ever won the treble? Ever won the treble? When your dad's out stealing, Your mum's drug-dealing, But please don't take..

Rob your car! Who can rob your houses? Violate your gran? Sell cocaine from an ice cream van? A scouser can! He made me feel sick, So I hit him with a brick, And now he don't sing anymore. Where's Your Famous Munich Song?

Where's your famous Munich song? Where's your famous Mu-nich song? Before , Liverpool fans sang many songs about the Munich Air Crash 'Who's that dying on the runway? United fans responsed by adapting the song about Bill Shankly's death 'Who's that dying on the carpet? Ring Of Fire to the tune of 'Ring Of Fire' Michael Shields got 10 more years der der der der der der der der Now he's getting bummed by queers der der der der der der der der 10 more years without parole der der der der der der der der Now he's got a sore arsehole Whilst many reds who travel to European away games Galatasary in especially can empathise with Michael Shields case, this song remains popular.

Looking into the Michael Shields case, it's clear to see an innocent man may have been found guilty for a crime he did not commit, especially after fellow scouser Graham Sankey later confessed to the brutal attack that almost killed a Bulgarian bar tender.

You have to question however why there has not been a more high profile campaign to convict the actual person responsible. Sankey was later imprisoned for a racist attack on a Liverpool doorman. City Of Culture? You're Havin' A Laugh! The city of culture?

Last week's Europa League first leg tie was marred by disgusting chants from the away end which referenced the Hillsborough tragedy. United officials were quick to condemn the chants and UEFA failed to punish the club for them, also. However, United need to go further than merely condemning the chants and actions of a minority and take more drastic, neccessary action before the problem escalates further.

The 'fans' the word suggests these delinquents actually have an interest in football rather than crass, tasteless hooliganism responsible for these actions should be removed from Old Trafford the moment any of these chants arise and then handed lifetime bans from any Manchester United match, home or away.
