Liverpool’s clash with fierce rivals Man United produces half-and-half scarf nightmare

IT is undoubtedly one of the biggest rivalries in English football.

From Sir Alex Ferguson saying “My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f*****g perch” to Luis Suarez’s feud with Patrice Evra, there has been a hatred between each club for over 150 years.

But that hasn't stopped a number half-and-half scarfs going up for sale outside Anfield before the big kick off.

The fashion disaster has been creeping into the game for several years now but this will have football purists burying their head in their hands.

At a big European match or special international fixture, a half and half scarf can be deemed borderline acceptable.

However in a clash between the two of the most decorated English clubs, where emotions can run high both on the pitch and in the stands, a half-and-half scarf is complete madness.

Meanwhile Jose Mourinho had his United side training in a car park ahead of the clash.

The Special One sprung the surprise ahead of tonight’s showdown with Liverpool at Anfield, with the whole team made to leave their luxury digs and go for stretches outside.
