January 30, 20178 yr Author Apparently the FA forced the BBC to show Man Utd v Wigan and rejected their request to show Lincoln v Brighton.
January 30, 20178 yr Both clubs have won 41 major trophies according to this: http://www.totalsportek.com/list/most-succ...otball-history/ United have won more overall with minor trophies included, 65-60. There's not much in it really, although I'd say United are a bigger club worldwide. Maybe in the premier league era but the 2 extra European cups takes away from the fact untied have 2 more league titles imo!
January 30, 20178 yr I've grown up in a Liverpool/United household so they've always been on TV and I've had years of my dad railing against successive poor managers and players or praising players or passes so I don't really have to try hard to keep well up-to-date with Pool. (honestly if I have to see another video of bloody Suarez scoring...) If you want obsessive tho y'all should check the mirror. Liverpool twitter day after the NW Derby was restraining order level obsessed over some perceived injustice like the wind blowing the wrong way or something and United twitter was just laughing at how worked up they were all getting. Well, I'd argue Liverpool fans are more obsessed with Manchester United (especially when you consider that United are a bigger club!). :D Both sets of fans are obsessed with each other, it borders beyond pathetic sometimes. Who is worse though? Man Utd without a doubt. Liverpool never sing about Man Utd unless we play against them. Can't remember the last time I watched a Man Utd game where they didn't wheel out some Liverpool based song no matter who they're playing... As for who is the bigger club, then in modern times it's Man Utd no question. But football wasn't invented in 1992! That said, I don't think there's too much in terms of worldwide success. It's apples and oranges. If you ever meet people from the Southern Hemisphere especially, lots of people I've met support both Man Utd/Liverpool (unheard of in the UK). They're just football fans.
January 30, 20178 yr Apparently the FA forced the BBC to show Man Utd v Wigan and rejected their request to show Lincoln v Brighton. Not sure how likely that is. Although can't be upsetting one of the big boys.
January 30, 20178 yr Sutton United drawn at home to Arsenal! And Man United drawn to Blackburn. Myself and practically the rest of the world will be wishing for Sutton United to cause the biggest shock in FA Cup history. Edited January 30, 20178 yr by Houdini

Think it's actually a rule at Anfield that you can only sing about Liverpool and the team they are playing that day!
January 30, 20178 yr Sutton United drawn at home to Arsenal! And Man United drawn to Blackburn. Myself and practically the rest of the world will be wishing for Sutton United to cause the biggest shock in FA Cup history. What a fantastic tie for Sutton United - I hope BBC show it and Arsenal put out a full team!
January 30, 20178 yr Amazing draw for Sutton, I was kinda hoping for a Sutton vs Lincoln tie then the winner would play a big team in the QF's but they fully deserve this huge game for their progress in the cup this season. It's a shame all the Prem teams were kept apart, I think it could easily be a boring 8 Prem team quarter final slog bar maybe the odd surprise. Blackburn away won't be an easy game compared to our first 2 ties but we should be able to manage it in amongst all the other comps.
January 30, 20178 yr I'm mildly thrilled that we got an away draw so I don't have to shell out any cash now this month when I'm saving for the states. Blackburn is a decent draw. Should see us nicely into the quarters. No prem v prem draws tho will mean a much tougher quarter draw for sure.

I've been to all but two games this year and around Christmas we did a few renditions of feed the scousers but that's no about your club it's about the whole of Merseyside coz the two cities hate each other (oh hai Manchester ship canal) other than when we played you I can't think of any. Yesterday's "are you watching" was only because you got giant killed and if the shoe had been on the other foot you'd have done the same thing. We have more of the big domestic trophies (league & FA cup) as well as a FIFA club World Cup which is cool but we lose out on European titles. Globally our support obliterates yours (we are huge in china and India) Looking at the other metrics were well ahead . We've got more revenue, bigger sponsorship deals, bigger stadium, more valuable brand, more debt, worth more in terms of how much it'd cost for a takeover. Commercially there's not a club on the planet that holds a candle to us but from a purely sporting POV there is so little to split us
January 30, 20178 yr What a fantastic tie for Sutton United - I hope BBC show it and Arsenal put out a full team! This will surely be on BBC, this match is the definition of a "David vs Goliath" tie and BBC will get more viewers than BT Sport because it's free to air unlike BT Sport. I think Blackburn vs Man Utd will be on BT Sport instead.
January 30, 20178 yr They have history of showing stupid games this season like city West Ham to start!
