MUFC infiltrate LFC’s season finale – Flag Day

Saturday 14th May 2011 saw Manchester United overtake Liverpool as the most successful domestic club in English football history.

In 1990 Liverpool won their 18th title and were sitting pretty on their perch, 13 titles ahead of arch rivals Manchester United.

19 years later Alex Ferguson and his list of successful players had equalled Liverpool’s haul of 18 titles.

2 years later, the words of Sir Alex Ferguson’s first press conference as a United manager came to fruition. “I want to knock Liverpool of their f**king perch…..and you can quote me on that”

1 day later and Anfield would be reminded of just how determined a couple of United fans can be to get the message across that they no longer sit on English footballs ‘perch’.

It’s the last home game of the 2010/11 season for Liverpool in a season that’s seen the return to power of ‘King Kenny’ after the Scouse bastards had undermined and ousted Roy Hodgson from the club. The club decided to have a ‘Flag Day’ to celebrate the end of yet another trophyless season, this fitted in just nicely for two United fans who were planning to pull of the finest gag since the ‘Manchester is Red’ banner was unfurled at Eastlands.

Here’s the story as told by one of the lads who pulled of this fantastic prank.

*[quote] “a mickey asked what it said. ‘Fuckin read it’ was the response. ha ha. The look on their faces was quality.

We’d been planning this for years and i’m buzzin it’s come off. We’d gotten 2 tickets in the Anfield upper and got the banner made on Friday. As we walked up towards the ground i had the biggest fuckin grin on me head knowing we were about to pull it off. My only worry was not getting in with it. I shouldn’t have worried. A few beers on the concourse and we waited for YNWA to start as that was our signal to go. We walked down to the front of the teir and unfurled it. We had to hold it up cos there was nothing to tie it onto and it was up for for roughly 40 seconds before i got launched by the stewards. A bit of spit and that was all. It was a fuckin scouse slag that spat at me too i think

Fair play to the Spurs fans who were buzzin and we threw it down into their end. Afterwards we walked round the ground and then had a couple of pints near Goodison with an Everton lad my mate knew and got a call saying their lads were looking for us. Not suprising really is it!

MUFC 19 TIMES!” [unquote]
