As a life long Liverpool fan, I grew up watching both eras of each club being at their greatest, but you have to admire the era these lads were in. Rivalry aside, it’s just an admiration for passion and application in the end and the red side of each city has it in spades. Great podcast gents 👏🏻

Exactly, United fan here and it just isn’t the same with rivalries anymore. Really miss those days, I’d look forward to them for weeks and be buzzing for weeks if we won due to the passion and aggression the players showed

@@oneunited5893The rivalry is still there because of the fans, but the games aren’t as fierce as they used to be, but thats more down to Utd not going through a good time right now. Once they’ve got a competitive team again I’m sure they’ll be as they once were.

Nicky hits the nail on the head when he says "and we lived through that"( Liverpool winning everything)... I got labelled a glory hunter on many occasions but I was 15 years old before I saw my beloved club win the league. My kid memories other than 1990 and 91 under ferguson and the Ron Atkinson fa cup we had nothing other than Liverpool defeats for memories like Michael Thomas scoring to win the league for arsenal at anfield or Wimbledon beating them at Wembley or even crystal Palace beating them in the semi just months after being battered in the league so no matter how bad things are now, it's been worse

[@samuelbino7915]

We must be a similar age, born in 78...and you described my childhood experience of following united perfectly, I remember celebrating Palace and Wimbledon wins as hard as any united success (probably with the exception of arsenal fa cup win and 99 champs league win) because Liverpool were so dominant and just wanted anyone to beat them.
